It’s a start; if that recovered money was funnelled directly back into the IRS, they could net as much as a 6x return:
A few years of IRS hyper-vigilance and investment would result in significant gains to the public purse, ensuring that the wealthiest pay their fair share.
Is there much of a retro/collector’s presence at PAX? I’ve only been once, in the before COVID times when it was still finding its feet.
There’s literally an Aussie Grown garlic in the adjacent container? The one you’re holding is the imported one from an adjacent section.
There’s plenty to shame Woolies over, but this ain’t one. SMH.
While this is definitely an interesting proposition, for most people in the US wouldn’t something like Mark Cuban’s CostPlus drugs website be a more reasonable solution?
Have Samsung & Google actually delivered 7 years yet - or is that still just a promise on paper to continue supporting existing products?
Apple for all its faults has at least delivered on this premise.
I mean, generations are only ~15ish years apart - so it tracks…
It’s literally the flayed corpse of Boeing being worn by the parasitic McDonnell Douglas.
That sounds awful; hopefully you were at least able to poison their DB with a fake name and a 10minutemail (or similar) account?
Custom OS isn’t going to address the anaemic hardware, nor do I think relying on open-source custom ROMs for a niche item is the best way to ensure any hardware-level vulnerabilities are covered.
If you already have an Internet-connected device hooked up to your TV (eg. PlayStation); there is no need to connect another, especially when it provides an overall worse experience.
Shit, a basic HTPC is infinitely better - using a Linux-based distribution (which will have a lot more support vs. a niche TV ROM), and it’ll be supported well beyond what the hardware could handle.
I also agree, but I view it more as ‘I bought a TV, and that’s all I want it to be’.
I don’t care about the built in software features foisted on me because I wanted an OLED panel; simply because they are going to be abandoned within 1-2 years, are powered by some anaemic chipset that is already multiple generations behind what is already available in my TV stand; and will likely end up as an attack vector to my network some period down the road.
The article mentions that TV manufacturers make ~$5 a quarter from selling your data. So those ‘features’ aren’t even free, they come at the expense of your personal information, privacy and likely security as a result.
So to quote a famous Dave Chapelle skit: “fuck ‘em, that’s why!”
Because it’s not actually necessary; leave the TV isolated from the internet and use a set-top box (Apple TV, Shield, game console) as the media player.
That seizure of 980lb of meth is surely a county record, and was promptly moved to a secure location.
If that’s the case, please keep riding that high for as long as possible for the rest of us.
“…and when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy.”
While I agree that this is a win overall, even in the US there are limits to free speech; you can’t falsely yell fire in a crowded theatre, threaten an individual with bodily harm, or incite others to do so, without any risk of repercussion.
PAL/R4 PS1/2/3 & PSP collector here; there’s no hard & fast cut-off rule.
But I would need to have a deep and personal connection to the title, and it would need to meet a number of requirements (case type, game variant, CIB, disc scratches etc.).
Even then, I’m still going to struggle to part with >$1,000 dollarydoos for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Special Edition!
Not to hijack this post, but does anyone know or have a definitive list of which titles came bundled with a G-Con45?
The Ghoul Panic bundle in good condition is my collection’s white whale…
I downloaded the entire SNES catalogue when I was overseas; so glad I did that then as it’s become much more difficult over the past few years.
II recently tried to download ISOs of my PS1 & 2 collections so that I could play them on my Steam Deck, and found out that at it’s actually a lot faster and easier just to to them myself - as whatever sources I can find are either dead links, or download so slowly that the connection is likely to time out before the download completes.
They are poor in spirit; won’t someone think of those unfortunate souls who’ll have to scrimp and save for that much longer in order to be able to afford their next luxury hypercar?!
Apologies, I was one of those calling you out in the original post.
The proper person in-store to escalate things like this to would be the ‘Produce Manager’ (or similar title), as the shelf stackers have no ability to control it and are likely being judged against unreachable KPIs, though the very least they should do would be to pull the signage.
From what I can see on the Woolies website, Australian grown garlic is currently unavailable and cheaper imported 3 Packs (as pictured) are being offered instead.
I’ll check my local tomorrow, and see if it’s across the board (strengthening the argument for an ACCC report) and/or if they’re also scanning up on the POS as Australian or not.
