Let’s at least block the government agencies from using it in favor of open platforms and protocols to communicate with its citizens.

lmao wrong community

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

I like Casio watches, but yeah I’d pass.

Estwing hammers. Not excessively expensive, but the kind of hammer you buy for life.

Small screen, combined with poor/touch screen controls, and wanting to make money no matter what by pushing ads everywhere because no one wants to pay $10+ for a mobile software.

The only time I consider a mobile a game is when there is an ad-free option available.

It should run quite well, being Steam Deck Verified.

We already have Palantir Corp

Any battery-powered toys that makes noise is a terrible idea…

Especially with the rootkit scandal from 2005, the PSN breach from 2011, the internal employee data breach in 2023, etc

3dfx voodoo 3 3000, with its whopping 16MB of VRAM.

It ran Unreal Tournament like a charm. Playing CTF on dialup though was not always great though…

One option would be for the big manufacturers to ignore the market and see if new players are able to thrive in such a market or not.

If the amount requested is too steep, they’ll end up with no new players and a shortage of high end phones, which is sure to piss off a portion of the population.
