It can display Oblivion Remastered at it's native framerate though.

Wow, relive the early days of really fucking terrible LCD displays for just under $2000.

What a time to be alive...

I had the point near the beginning of the file thing once and it was a really shitty file that only VLC could seek in.

ffmpeg fixed it, but I've no idea how because ffmpeg command lines are some arcane black magic shit.

Well, he's right on that at least.

I love that Outlook occasionally fires up one of its keyboard shortcuts and clears your entire email you were typing if you're not paying attention.

Fucking love it.

I'd be a little more enthused if both companies main goal from this wasn't to make us work while wearing them.

Less if anything.

You buy something from China for $100. Add packing, staff costs and delivery and you sell it retail for say $200. A nice healthy profit margin.

Now you add the 145%, so it costs $245 from China. None of the rest of it will cost you more. Still an extra $100, for $345 total.

The retail customer pays an extra (345/200=) 72.5% instead.

It's a lot, but not 145%.

So if your retail price goes up by 145% or more, they either weren't making a lot of profit before, or they're greedy bastards.

This thing is going to struggle with some of the Phantom Liberty sections. It skipped PS4 for a reason...

*sniff sniff*

Smells like your food is about to cost even more.

Here's the thing. If you watch that, Netflix know your IP. If you're on an Android TV box, Google will know your IP.

Odds are your phone is on the Wifi. Linked through IP. Now you get ads for Stranger Things on your phone. It doesn't need to listen because everything is so leaky. You are linked on so many devices.
