Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation
  • If you want an SNES that's going to take a while, but it's definitely findable. If you want a device that can play SNES cartridges (along with many others) look into getting a Retron. It's got NES, SNES, GBA, Genesis, Famicom, Super Famicom, and Gameboy plus a place to plug in those old controllers.

  • ISPs say their “excellent customer service” is why users don’t switch providers
  • Didn't Comcast change their consumer name to Xfinity because they were so universally hated? CenturyLink comes in at the top of a lot of the "most hated" lists as well. They own what used to be Level 3 who, shockingly, were also pretty much hated by everyone who had to use them.

  • Insane savings
  • I take your point, and you're absolutely correct in that if you'd have never spent that $100 on whatever whizzy gadget you're looking at then you didn't save a penny no matter how good the sale is.

    However, life is more than mere survival. If I were to buy something that I was going to get anyway then that's money saved even if it's not an immediate need. The caveat being that I hate "lightning deals" and other short time sales (damn you Musician's Friend and your Stupid Deal of the Day) because in the past I spent a lot of money that I didn't have trying to get a deal on something that I didn't take the time to properly research and wouldn't ever use.

  • Trump Guitars Hit With Cease and Desist From Gibson
  • Gibson has sued everyone who came close to their body style. They did win back in the day over the "open book" headstock (the mustache looking top). They're super litigious. I don't see them winning this for a variety of reasons, number one being that I don't think there are really guitars.

    I love how Mr. America First keeps endorsing inferior shit made overseas. This is one hundred percent one of the hundreds of LP knockoffs that you can get for a couple of hundred bucks apiece if you buy in bulk on Alibaba with garbage pickups, sharp frets, and terrible glue joints. Probably an extra hundred bucks for the inlay and "paint job".

    Except I bet they paid for a couple of them and that's all they actually had made. One to show, one to put up on their wall, and the rest are "sold" and never fulfilled with a kickback to the grifter in chief. If someone actually pays the $11,000 or whatever for one with Trump's signature they'll order a few with the signature already stamped over the clear coat (not actually signed! shocker!) for the same couple of hundred bucks, kick back 30% to trump, and keep $6000 per idiot who wants to put that on their wall.

    Edit: What in the chicken fried fuck is a "Trumpbucker" pickup?

  • Texas AG Ken Paxton warns Lina Hidalgo against mailing voter registration forms

    www.chron.com Texas AG threatens to sue Harris County over voter registration push

    Ken Paxton said sending out forms would lead ineligible people, such as felons and noncitizens, to commit a crime by attempting to register to vote.

    Paxton said he'd sue Harris and Bexar counties if they sent voter registration forms to "unverified recipients".

    I wonder why Paxton doesn't want Harris county to vote.
