The purpose is they don't want users to leave the mouse permanently plugged in. That would leave an ugly wire to their beautiful wireless product. in my opinion the only pointing device apple ever got right was the trackpad. Their mice have been absolute crap since the iMac g3 hockey puck mouse days. During the G4 era they had that transparent pill looking mouse, then the pill with the ball scroller that would collect hair. Then magic mouse and now this. Consistently bad since the early 2000s is actually quite impressive.

To add to your Anakin comments, the idea that he was some chosen, that the Jedi we're looking for some Messiah seemed lame to me. Just make Anakin a regular guy who becomes a Jedi and then falls to the dark side. It's been talked to death but Ep1-3 should have been from Obi Wan's perspective.

My trick is that I emulate the games. I can play the Dreamcast upscaled version on my PC or my Retroid Pocket 2+ as much as I want with no restrictions! I bought the games like 20 years ago I don't need to buy them again

You might still be within the return period!

Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.

Unfortunately the damage has been on the animals. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/

Funny that the very long vox article doesn't mention the wired investigation

Plus the built in USB c slots are recessed underneath which might be a pain to plug and unplug things.

It could be degraded storage, older tablets and some low end tablets have emmc storage which degrades quicker iirc. Also sometimes a good factory reset can do wonders if your device is borked. But it sounds like you've moved on anyways

Nah it's not that they ran out of ideas. It's that the market has changed and there's no room for risky mid-budget or high budget movies. Back in the day they could make a substantial chunk off of home video sales rather than just the theatrical release. Now streaming is not nearly as lucrative and they have to compete with a ton more forms of media. So when you're dropping hundreds of millions to make a movie you have to be damn sure it's gonna draw people to the theaters. So you take fewer risks and make things as wide as possible to appeal to everyone worldwide.

There was a really good 1 hour long YouTube video posted recently that broke it down
