And therefore the rest of the world!

Similar, if the motherboard of my stove goes, it shuoldnt cost $700 for what basically an arduino.
You just gave me an idea. The mobo on a stove is just a PWM temperature controller, it probably doesn’t even use a PID loop. Drop in replacement boards would sell like crazy on eBay.
ThinkPads used to be like this but now there are only one or two models that are actually reparable (and oh my god did I pay a premium to get one). Being able to buy a machine and know that it was reparable for the next 10 years was THE reason I bought ThinkPad.
In 2008 I bought a W500, I used it until 2018 and replaced 2 screen backs, a keyboard, a battery, an HDD, and added more RAM in those 10 years. Coming out to about $160 per year if you spread out the cost.
Crooked government deals? In Canada?
But it is better… it does 2048×1536 at 85hz.
Nice fix, saved yourself an assload of money!

Wait, this ISN’T The Beaverton?
HL2. I always end up playing HL2.
You’re free to do anything that can be taxed.
I would take that this very second to quit my job.
Yeah, the median income should be going down.
A pirated movie can be played on any device, it can be backed up to protect against loss, it lets you choose the quality and file size, it generally comes with more options for audio and subtitle language, and you only pay for it once in the form of technical services (bandwidth through your ISP, access to a VPN, access to other private services).
Conversely Netflix offers you access to a movie on a limited number of devices, they can remove your access to that movie at any time, regardless of the settings you have chosen they can reduce the quality of a movie at any time, there is usually only one option for audio/subtitles, and you pay every month regardless of your usage of the service.
If given the two option NO international corporation would ever choose Netflix, why should consumers?
Alcohol is an unhealthy vice, I would rather my $80 in craft beer goes healthcare than Loblaws.
It’s getting harder and harder to tell if articles are written by The Beaverton or not.
I get that, but you cant load the bed when you back in (which tells you how much ‘trucking’ these guys actually do).
But that kind of thinking doesn’t make the line go up!
Along with SCTV, Bizarre and Kid in the Hall were god damned hilarious! They were like a maple flavoured Monty Python.
