I suspect I’m pretty much the only market for this thing. I can play while in bed, which is where most of switch gaming currently happens. The price is probably reasonable for what it cost them, but they need to explain why anyone besides me would want one.

Can I plug the new vr into it so I can get rid of the gosh-darn wire?

Meh, hate the game, not the player. I’ve spent half a life and my whole career adjacent to MS, my anger about their products and practices has long since turned to cynical acceptance. Yes, they have over stepped the bounds of fairness and good taste many times, but I’ve seen other vendors do so much worse. If you don’t like Microsoft products, advocate for something else. The bottom of the bottle is that Microsoft has a duty to pursue profit for it’s shareholders, and some of that will be ugly. These days there are workable alternatives for everything they sell, which wasn’t always the case.

Pretty much this. There is a significant learning curve to kubernetes (or similar, I guess?), but it’s a handy skill to be familiar with. If things basically run but with degraded performance on one raspberry, there is no real need for a vertical performance increase. Adding the second will provide almost double capacity, with some HA added for fun.

If containerized, scale horizontal and load balance.

The streaming wars seem to be settling into a slog. I dunno how other folks do it, but I sign up for a month and cancel before the next. Netflix once had a near lock on all the content, but now it’s so scattered but there is no real reason to pay for multiple services at once.

Anyhoo, as broadcast and cable content producers feel the pinch, I wonder if there will be less content to re-host on various streaming services.

This is interesting, as airlines won’t kick boarded passengers off for other passengers (to my knowledge). What’s probably happening here is that pilots or attendants need transportation to their next scheduled assignment, for which the airlines will force boarded people off. At that point the airline’s computer runs through the passengers and picks whoever paid the least. In this case the attendant was probably trying to solve an impossible problem that the airline created, but saying retarded things (like “you’ll get your kids taken from you”) in the age of cell phone videos is super stupid. This particular attendant needs to be re-assigned to a empty return flights, they don’t have the social skills to handle the job.

The “World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index” is pretty batshit insane. Areas were women have an advantage don’t count, so it’s just a manipulated answer to a loaded question.
