I think it's just the contrast of elite minds using advanced tech for simple, silly things.

Makes me think of the scene from Easy Rider where they explain "dude" to Jack Nicholson.

Whose entire life was in a... what?

You'd pretty much never see someone's keyboard on a video call.

Hey, that's the combination on my luggage!

It was more like this.

There's a lot of "X1 Carbon 6th" listed here.

Think about it this way: in the unlikely event that your parking brake fails while you're parked, which direction is gravity going to make the car roll? Park in the gear that opposes that roll. So if you're facing up an incline, park in first gear. If you're facing down, park in reverse. If you're on an absolutely flat surface, park in whichever you want.

By the way, this isn't just a good idea for hills, but for uneven driveways or parking lots.

update: I read the post and the last paragraph talks about the full blocking of third-party cookies as a thing that's "starting in 2024" (future tense). So my best guess is it's that, but whatever the August 28th update was could have cleared all this up.

You could probably chain some smaller HDMI switches together. Not sure what the practical limit would be or when lag would get noticable, though.

Now, if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to play four-player Smash Bros. and we encourage that, okay? You do want to play four-player Smash, don't you?
