CPU had it coming.

So I had the galaxy S4.. Up and away... I have used Galaxy S everything, iPhone Pro fuck the Max and I'm going to say as a U.S. buyer, they fucked 90+% of people. If you are calling, texting, emailing, playing 99% of games. I have a Pixel 9 Pro sitting on a shelf, that I don't find reason to use. I use a phone that was $70 when I bought it, And it's like 120 max now.

I work in IT and have since 2011.. most people are buying $800+ phones for no reason. Let's get people in the practice of realizing a $200 phone, does everything a $1200 dollar phone does. Why pay 6x more for shit you honestly don't need.

Are my 50mp camera photos good, yeah. Are they as good as the latest flagship, no. But why should most users care. The memories is what most care about, not the pixels that show someone's cheek had a mark on it with higher definition.

It's stupidity. We could save our families near $1000 a year by telling them it is ridiculous. Why because they buy a $1000 phone.. every couple years.... Why? $120 can do it the same.

The phone was/is a Moto G Play 2024, the same options will be made from others.. but it's true. No point in picking up a pixel. I have 2 days left of battery left, and it didn't charge last night because it never fell below 80%

You can thank Maduro for that. Chileans are scared of the drug gangs that came infiltrated among the Venezuelan refugees who fled to Chile.

venezuelans, much like indians and muslims, are the main concern for many countries right now.

Right or left isn't the threat. It's populism and autocracy that is what is so risky.

I love how, according to the article, he's far right for wanting less crime and more deportations while the communist is "center-left" :)))

[Being pro-Pinochet] doesn't make you far right. You can strongly respect him for being a hero against communism and still also not want a repeat of his extremism when the USSR is no longer a apocalyptic threat.

China’s fixed-asset investment fell by 2.6% year-on-year in January-November 2025 period, more than market expectations of a 2.3% decrease and following a 1.7% drop in the first ten months.

This was the third straight month of decline and the sharpest since June 2020, due to continued decreases in property investment (-15.9% vs -14.7% in January-October) and infrastructure (-1.1% vs -0.1%), alongside softer growth in manufacturing (1.9% vs 2.7%).

Today's game is Halo Combat Evolved. Me and a friend have been going through it on Normal (Our last playthrough was on Legendary) and during it we lowered the resolution down to 720 x 480 (what, i believe the original Xbox ran on).

We ran through Guilty Spark like that, after that my friend was dreading the library though so he called it stops though. I went and figured out how to setup ReShade with a CRT filter for it too enhance the experience. obviously not the same as just playing the OG but it was an experience. I have a copy on Disk so at one point i'd like to get all the hardware to play it, but for now this was an amazing experience.

Looking at it this way was like playing a new game almost. I could understand how this was the "forefront" of graphics at the time. On the pictures there's scan lines, but in the actual gameplay it's very soft and glowy. It really contextualizes how the original game was supposed to look. I kind of want to go through Halo 2 like this too, but i think the better option is to get a disk copy and play it that way.

I only played Two Betrayals like this because i had to disable Anticheat to play it that way and i didn't want to play that far without my friend but it was a fun experience to play it this way. I wish i could play it that way with him with Anti Cheat. I wonder if there's something i can do with VK Basalt instead of ReShade.

Ella Moulsdale, Zuhrah’s next of kin, said that Zuhrah had repeatedly buzzed for a nurse and begged her to conduct basic medical tests.

“As she continued to be ignored, she then started to beg for an ambulance to come because she knew that something was happening,” Moulsdale said.

A prison officer told her to wait for the night nurse to start her shift at 11pm.

At 10:30pm the nurse arrived to take her vitals – a series of tests to measure key bodily functions – and an ECG (electrocardiogram) test. She said she would be back in 10 minutes with the test results.

By 12:30am, the nurse had still not returned, so Zuhrah buzzed prison medical staff for help, saying “Can you ring an ambulance? I’m scared”. They hung up on her.

“I've got her on the phone and listening to her audibly in pain and unable to respond properly. And all I can do is ask her to breathe heavier so I can ensure that she's still breathing. I'm not a first responder, I'm not a medical practitioner,” Grant told MEE.

“This is how people die in their cells. She could barely get up to call me, and all I could do was try to call for the nurse for her, and then get back to listening to her cry in pain and struggle to breathe."

At 2am, the nurse returned and informed her that “you don’t decide if you go to hospital, I do”.

Meanwhile, Zuhrah’s friends repeatedly called the prison requesting an ambulance, who they said “kept hanging up” on them. They tried ringing for ambulances directly, but were informed that this would have to be arranged through the prison.

“We were being told by ambulance operators that they have no power over whether an ambulance goes to a prison or not, because it is up to the prison whether they will accept an ambulance," Moulsdale said.

“If someone collapses in a prison, they don't get an ambulance sent to them. The prison gets to decide.”

From 8am onwards, four NHS doctors also repeatedly tried to contact the prison. James Smith, a doctor who supports the hunger strikers and their families, told MEE that he was put through to an answer machine when he called the prison.

At 9:30am, the prison finally called an ambulance after Zuhrah lost consciousness. The prison did not notify Zuhrah’s next of kin about her hospitalisation, despite promising they would.
