Apple intelligence can be abbreviated as AI, which is the same as artificial intelligence. Windows intelligence can be abbreviated as WI which is the same as Wisconsin. Whoever made this decision needs to be demoted to Walmart greeter.

Out of all the Nintendo consoles I have owned (everything except the n64) the switch is the one I have the fewest games for. I don't often buy games at full price so I guess I don't buy Nintendo titles anymore.

If the Dreamcast didn't get discontinued in early 2001 then sure, it's possible they could have released an mp3 player vmu. We don't even know if the TGS prototype was a functional unit or just conceptual mockup. Either way, it would still be a case of too little too late.

When I said it would rip CDs very slowly I was referring to the processing speed, not the drive speed. Comparable processors of the time would encode at about 0.6-0.8x speed depending on the encoder used and I doubt the average consumer would want to spend 2 hours to encode a single CD worth of music on their dreamcast.

You're grossly overestimating what mobile tech was capable of in 1998. The dreamcast had enough power to play an mp3 but the VMU definitely did not. On top of that, the VMU only has enough storage space for a little over 6 seconds of music at 128kbps. Even if the Dreamcast could (very very slowly) rip CDs to MP3 , you still had no where to save the data.

N64 and PS1 have not aged well. I'd absolutely take a dreamcast over the N64 and the PS1 really only beats it on RPGs. If you don't have nostalgia for the 5th gen consoles, most of the games just aren't very fun anymore.

Is that Albert Whisker? I'd give it a perfect 5/7.

Pasta is just messing up Asian noodles and making it their national identity.

I still don't understand why crypto exchanges exist is an unregulated, decentralized currency, wouldn't an exchange remove part of those benefits?

The thing I miss about it is that it could run Leisurely Suit Larry 4. It won't even launch on any other OS.

Fortunately this won't be my first dance with dual booting Linux, I've tried it a half dozen times since the late 90s, going as far back as multibooting booting slackware, nt4 and win98. I'm sure I'll go through a few distros before settling on one that works for me. I've also got 6 drives in my pc (2 nvme, 2 sata ssd and 2 HDD) so I have lots of room to play. One major thing for me is HDR support which is pretty new in Linux so I'm not sure where we stand on that.
