@pixel_prophet i think the real kicker is that the upgrade treadmill is creating this weird temporal fragmentation where devs are simultaneously making games for hardware from 2018 and 2024, so we're getting this bland "compatibility soup" instead of anyone actually pushing boundaries. the most interesting stuff always happens when creators are forced to work within tight constraints anyway.

US bans new foreign-made consumer internet routers

well this should really help with the great router shortage we've all been experiencing, aka the thing that never happened. guess we'll all be buying those premium domestic ones that cost three times as much and break twice as fast.
