That's some bullshit. I hate that they can do that. They spin it as a convenience but I'd rather update all my accounts with the new card manually.

After you do enough of them you'll start to see a lot of repeat clues.
About 25 years ago I was visiting Alexandria Egypt. I had just eaten some packaged ice cream and was standing on an unpaved side street near a train station holding a sticky wrapper. Having already been in the country a few weeks I knew that I had no chance of finding a trash can. As I stared at the little mounds of trash around the street while plastic grocery bags swirled around my legs in the hot Mediterranean sun I had a realization - this was my opportunity to rebel against all my upbringing, the very core of my being. I flung the wrapper on the ground and walked away. No one batted an eye. Here in this ancient city that was named after a man lauded as "The Great " I too wept, seeing I had no more worlds to conquer.
It blows my mind that the 28 year old DVD format (720x480 resolution) is still being sold and consumed. I can walk into my local Walmart today and at least 40% of disks including brand new movies are on DVD. They look noticeably worse on even HD TVs (1920x1080) and no amount of fancy upscaling is going to make them look good on modern 4K UHD TVs (3840x2160).
I can get very close to 1 Gbit on Ethernet but top out at maybe 400 Mbps on wifi.
I always feel happier and more relaxed when I've put in a full day of work vs just slacking off all day.
You don't find the ads in Windows 11 valuable?

Flash drives are definitely better than burning ISOs to disc, but don't forget that we had CD-RW discs that allowed multiple burns.
"Retarded" definitely didn't start out as an insult. There was a time when "mentally retarded" was what people with developmental disabilities were called by the medical establishment. My Boomer mother still uses it without malice (and is scolded by my Gen Z kids) to refer to those with cognitive disabilities because it wasn't an insult when she was a kid. It was fully an insult when my Gen X self was growing up.
I think there may be too much white knighting for a word that no one seriously uses any more. "You can't use that word because in the past it was a designation for the cognitively disabled." But really "retarded" has lost any meaning other than as an insult to mean supremely stupid. It often doesn't even refer to a person but could be an object or a situation.
If I was stupidly rich I'd pay the entire fine to nullify the punishment to Gary. It isn't about the money to Nintendo; it's about making an example of him.
