At which point did people thought:
"Hmmm... I can hear music endlessly with my headphones that still uses cables.
I know! Let's get rid of that and make them use Bluetooth and batteries for 5 hours of continuous play. Then recharge for 2 hours in order to use them again... for a little less than 5 hours... and charge them again for less than 2 hours. Yeah, that's a great technological advancement!"

FYI, That's not good when those lipo batteries swell up like that. Chance of fire or explosion if you keep using them.

I know! That's why I removed them, but my dumb father insist that: "Huuuur I barely used the other one" referring to the swollen one, so he wants to use that.

Yea with lipo batteries they are very sensitive to storage and over charging. If you store for long time, fully charged and not using, they will go bad. If you know you're not gonna use for awhile, charge to around 3.2v only, not to a full 4.2v charge.

Could Heath Ledger have been cast as Batman instead of Joker?

Edit - this is a thought provoking thread and a very creative thought experiment. Inspires me to illustrate my thoughts.

Also, Batman in current DC comics has stubble matching Heath's.

Nightwing/Batman

Which raises another question, if he was alive now would he have been recast as Batman and the only actor to have played both roles? He could portray just about anyone, his roles were vastly different and each character had a different realistic personage in addition to being Australian and portraying Americans authentically without accent. I can't answer that.

Last week I was replaying 999, and was remembering the first time I played it, which was around 2014.

I was there trying to save Lotus (again) and then it hit me!

Is it just me? Or Lotus looks like Ivonne Montero?

Past Saturday I replaced my Notebook's HDD for a SSD.
I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect or something, but I literally see no difference in speeds.

Boots as fast as before when it had a HDD.
Software runs essentially the same with SSD.
The only thing that seems to have improved is that it shuts-off way faster, but other than that, it's not really that big of a change.
HDD has 6GB/s speed, so I'm not sure if that matters? :unsure:

Oh, also! My Notebook doesn't need cooling anymore. Just noticed that the heat in my Notebook came from my HDD.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
