Now I wonder if I can send files to my 3ds from my vita via ftp

The one that came with the phone

I mean the above still applies. Open source hardware standards and system architectures don’t really matter when you’re still reliant on the same handful of companies in the industry to carry the weight of actually making the hardware.

At that rate it just sounds like you’re trying to categorically redefine SaaS to just be the crappy ones, while excluding anything with a reason to be a service

I mean it’s basically inevitable that major hardware was going to be fairly dominated by big companies, just like how you’re not going to find many small businesses producing regular ass non-vr monitors and the like, especially at the high end of things.

But overall, it’s still a fairly diverse market. Beyond what you’ve mentioned, there’s the valve index as easily the most major competitor. I’ve heard good things about pimax headsets, and they seem to be as close to a small business as the industry really can manage. Rumors say Sony is bringing psvr2 compatability to PC, which would be a huge advantage given the insanely cheap price tag for the quality. The apple vision exists, I guess, though it’s locked in apples walled garden. The htc vive still seems to be around.

Mullvad is the only one, though it’s in large part due to me not being in a situation where I have any important software needs in my personal life, meaning I can get away with just free options and cracked versions whenever I need something.

He’s getting downvotes because he’s acting like a jackass. Like yeah, I’m pretty sure everyone here has some axe or another to grind with Nintendo, they do plenty of shitty things. But to act like their games are somehow objectively bad and that everyone who likes them is just stupid? That’s just divorced from reality and overall pretty immature. Obviously it’s plenty possible for someone to not personally enjoy the games Nintendo puts out, art is highly subjective, but their games are generally solid.

In fact, the first week I was given a Thinkpad, I broke it because it was so much more fragile than a Mac

Genuine question, but what the actual fuck are you doing with your laptops? I used a ThinkPad through high school and college, and school aged me certainly didn’t treat it very kindly.

Well it’s not like I’m going to just throw the dog in the washing machine, that’d just be cruel

Know how to count cards?

Most people would consider a house that’s 30-40 years old at end-of-life

That’s pretty interesting to me. The house I grew up in was built in the late 50s, as was the entire neighborhood, making it just under 40 years old by the time I was born, and it’s still there today, with the only major renovations being redoing the flooring and replacing appliances.

Is the shorter lifespan more of just a cultural thing, or is it a matter of how housing is built? Because I can certainly see the pricing if it’s the latter and it’s nearing the point of requiring major maintenance.

Thanks for the link, definitely an interesting time browsing. And sorry to keep bothering you about Japanese real estate, I’m sure you have more interesting things to think about, but looking at it, the offerings on the “under 20 million yen” page just seem absurdly too good to be true. Like, looking at something like This, 1100 square feet, seemingly fairly recent renovations and built in '94, parking for 3 cars, and only 35 minute walk from the station, yet it’s listed for 11.7 million yen/78k usd? Like, from an American perspective, it looks like some Craigslist scam to get your banking info. Is there something getting lost in between cultures? Is the Japanese market really just that much cheaper?

Poking around, there are freestanding houses as well in that range, but they cannot be rebuilt so you’re stuck with the existing structure

Could you link an example or something on whatever Japanese zillow is? Because this seems absolutely intriguing to me, if only to see what it looks like.

Fair. It just seems like a somewhat unusual reason to avoid what (in my opinion) is an extremely solid email client
