On the one hand an expensive new console with limited software and a few high-price games for casual gaming.

On the other hand, basically a handheld PC, available in a wide price and power range, with loads and loads of games in a wide price spectrum.

It is the fediverse welcome package.

First, in most embedded systems, “a buck fifty” is a lot of money. Then you need to have an interface free on the main controller. You need an extra 32768Hz quarz. And you usually use a seperate battery (usually a mercury cell) to feed it to avoid complicated power routing issues.

But those take several minutes from power on to showing the time. Which might irritate the user.

Maybe if he took his medication, he could be a normal person.

You might be surprised that keeping time on an embedded system like that adds quite a level of extra hardware to it. And if you actually want good time, then it gets expensive.

Merkel time is over. The current CDU leader is a man owned by the chemical industry. The “C” is ancient history. The whole political spectrum in the US is so far right, a Republican party would end up under the feds scrutiny here, just like the AfD is.

Actually, a German “Republican party” was declared illegal a few years ago, and you need shitloads of evidence to do something like in Germany.

Jokes on him. What he sees as German conservatives is mostly in line with US Democrats. The German version of the Republicans are the AfD, the Nazi party.

How much would it cost them just to keep their own store running? Could not be much on a virtual machine with no content changes. And they won’t need exorbitant capacities. There will be no download waves just because a new game gets on the market, after all.

I just dropped Kbin from my bookmarks yesterday. I’m sad to see it gone, as it had some nice features.
