That's Apple engineering for you: 60 percent of the time it works every time. I grew up with Apple products and the company's history is lined with head-scratching design choices. It's been like that since the Lisa.
I like repairable, self-built desktop PCs myself. But for work, the MacBook has been a tank.
My MacBook survived after I left it on top of my car as I drove off. It was flung off into a pedestrian area at the first intersection and has a nice dent on the corner.
Daylight savings time moves the clock to match sunrise and the time we wake up.
I live in the northern hemisphere and the days are shorter in the winter. The sunrise is 8 a.m. on the shortest day (December 21), while sunrise on the longest day (June 21) is 5:45 a.m.
If I'm a farmer and I get up for my chores at 5 a.m. everyday, it's nice and sunny in the warmer months. By the time it's October, I wake up well before the sun so I might as well wait another hour. Lots of people had the same idea. Eventually everyone agreed on a day, called it daylight savings time and figured moving the clocks by one hour was simple enough.
But now it's the 21st century, we have atomic clocks and most people live in the city but it's hard to break tradition.
Somehow you're both partially wrong. There are people who have been badly abused by the porn industry. There's always a need to make sure people are safe. But there's nothing wrong if someone wants to willingly perform in pornography.
Yup! Or more specifically, "noon dinner."
It might be a Midwest farming thing where there are multiple snack times between chores outside. Two generations ago, my family had a quick 5 a.m. breakfast and lunch (or second breakfast) in the morning These weren't full meals in the traditional sense. Dinner meant coming in and sitting at the table for a prepared meal. Otherwise it was just stopping in the house for a small bite and a drink.
In the afternoon, they had tea time at 3 p.m. (black tea with snack cakes or open-face sandwiches). By evening, there'd be a last big meal (supper) before going to bed.
It was super confusing for me being the first generation that didn't grow up on the farm.
Wait until you have family that say that daily meals are chronologically "breakfast, dinner, and supper."
You bet, I'm a FreeMCBoot fan myself. I bought a network adapter and a SATA adapter for an internal hard drive to load games off of.
If you have a PS2, mod it to play backups. There's a new method called MMCE that is very promising and looks very easy to setup.

We're forgetting that Yuzu devs had Tears of the Kingdom and released a version that could run the game before it came out commercially. And to those who were behind a donation paywall too.
The team got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and had to settle the lawsuit. They had too much cash on hand to appear like innocent homebrew developers. And how silly is it to be sharing such hot warez like AAA game leaks on a crappy platform like Discord?
They served this lawsuit to Nintendo on a platter. I've been following the emulator scene since 1998 and have no love lost for their high-priced ninja lawyer warriors. Teams deserve donations but not based on the promise that users will get an updated emulator before games even hit store shelves. The scene has to protect itself by making good decisions that avoid further legal debacles.
If Civ 7 reviews well and works on Steam Deck, I'll be tempted.
I've been a patient gamer since buying used NES games as a little kid, but I'll buy at launch every once in a while. I was a single adult with a full-time job when Mario Maker came out. I took a day off work just to play it nonstop. It was a childhood dream of mine to design and play my own levels and spent my teenage years making ROM hacks with Lunar Magic.
I still think about how great that day was, staying home all day to play. Sometimes it's nice to treat yourself.

I still use Plex because they offer the product I bought, an easy way to stream content on my devices. Others have technical or philosophical issues, which I totally understand. Plex is the easiest option for my situation as of now. It is working great for me and my family.
Nothing lasts forever so it's good to realistic about the future. If I start having technical issues, it's Jellyfin. If Plex doubles down on subscriptions, it's Jellyfin.
If you're like me, a lifetime Plex Pass holder, I would experiment with Nginx Reverse Proxy now so you understand how it works. I have Overseerr running through a reverse proxy now.
I think it's a matter of when, not if, Plex will make a business decision that pushes me off their platform. It's a company focused on profit and that's fine. And it would be good to be prepared for the future.
