You can get prescription lens inserts. If you're just near sighted some of the models have built in adjustment.

Eh. I don't think the Macbook's trackpad is that good. It's better sure, but it's still not as intuitive panning or rotating over the image directly on a touch screen. And it's still useless for drawing.

Pro-motion, 120FPS display.

That's the whole iPad line. No multi-user because they don't want families to buy only one iPad, no support for running apps outside of the app store, etc.

Xbox One was originally going to require frequent online check ins, I think daily or weekly, games on disc were going to tie themselves to your account and publishers could choose whether or not you could resell them at select retailers or share them with your friends, IIRC you could share a game one time with a friend. They also didn't focus on games when showing it off and it was priced $100 higher than PS4 despite being weaker because of the bundled Kinect nobody wanted.

They are not doing super amazing this gen. Reports have them selling 1/3rd the units of PlayStation 5, Game Pass has stalled, they apparently used a JIT manufacturing setup and so were much more affected by the component shortage, so a console that was $500 at launch is now $800.

Funnily enough, because they put in serials into Xbox One games for tracking they did recently launch a really cool disc to digital service that gives the best benefits of physical and digital.

While sports betting was allowed, in the past I don't think it was allowed to be advertised beyond like lottery displays. You would not see ads during Hockey Night in Canada for it either on the boards or during breaks. Now they are all over and run by third parties.

GKCs aren't perfect, but both PS5 and Xbox Series consoles have had games where the disc is near useless too, either with only part of the game on the disc (e.g., Oblivion Remastered) or virtually none of the game on the disc (Indiana Jones). GKCs are at least upfront and clear on the packaging. I wish they had banned the practice of codes in a box. THOSE SUCK.

And just yesterday I had to use my modded 3DS to rescue a physical 3DS cart that wasn't booting. Luckily I was able to but there's no guarantee a physical game will last forever either.

BioWare didn't make NWN2, that was Obsidian on the same Bioware engine that powered KOTOR 1 & 2 and NWN1.They did do Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 which were originally published by Interplay.

It had a 3DS version, and that was more of a remaster than a remake. Spruced up graphics and some QoL things but basically the same bones.

Furigana works on Kindle, although IIRC you have to use AZW3 or I guess KFX.

It depends on the colour display. Kaleido screens use a colour filter over a B&W screen so they are just as fast as refreshing as the B&W ones. The other colour eInk displays are much slower which is why they've seen less uptick in consumer eReaders.

Because it's about how they modded their 360 and Peer Pressure was only released on the same day this blog post went up.

You can use Kodi as a Jellyfin front end. Personally I don't care enough about streaming TV to mobile devices and I only have 1 TV I watch on so the extra complexity of Plex or Jellyfin seems not worth the hassle.

And I definitely don't want to pay for something like Plex.
