If you think that's expensive, don't fall down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole. There's no upper limit on how much they can be

Oh for sure. It’s like Monster cables or audiophile stuff or other luxury goods. It’s entirely irrational. Though some people badly need it to be framed as perfectly rational.

Mech keyboards are closer to audiophile stuff than monster cables and luxury goods. The prices are generally commanded by low production volumes with high production quality. At least that's how the hobby used to be, I know its grown a lot and its much easier to find mass produced mechanical keyboards.

This update does! It adds support for the Game Boy Player, so it can play Ecco the Dolphin from the Sega Smash Pack for the GBA


Looks like Google is also rebranding the Fitbit app to "Google Health"

Another interpretation is if you have multiple haystacks, and the machine tells you which haystack likely has a needle in it. You still need to extract the needle yourself,


Until very recently, it took a week to get an appointment with my primary care doctor, and calls weren't an option. Now that video calls are an option, I get get one in a day or two. I could always go to urgent care to get an answer faster, but that costs more.


Wouldn't that incentivize smaller developers not to update their apps unless absolutely necessary?


The haptics in the old steam controller were loud enough to play music when it turn it on or off


Sony dualshocks haptics are exposed as sound devices on linux. Soundwaves are vibrations after all, give enough precision to haptics and they can function as speakers.


I wouldn’t be surprised if the creator has metrics that show that most people drop off around the halfway mark, for the exact same reason


You can see aggregated results on `stats` [1] for every year. In general, half the people drop in the first 3-4 days. For last year, by day 12 there is less than 1/5 of day 01. While the stats do count people that completed later, the shape appears to track well with what I saw during the events since 2021.

The air and the non-pro 17 have ProMotion


Right! That's why I said this might be the one to finally get me, since I'm not interested in Pro, other than ProMotion.


Sorry, I misread your comment and thought you thought it was still exclusive to the pro
