That was my thought reading this. 'I have bills but I choose not to work because the jobs are beneath me' People used to see the schooling as a way to skip entry level work. But now as a society, all it means is that you put money in before time. Its just not that special any more.

20+ years ago I put myself through college in an IT field, went to work in an industrial plant right next to the guys from my highschool, that dropped out to work. They had 3+ years work experience over me, I had to start at the bottom. In the time since then, I have worked in a dozen places, for a variety of wages to support my family. Where I am now is no mistake or act of luck. It takes hard work.

They hired the guy who was making ports and recoding sonic games on other systems better than the official 'sega emulator on a console' game packages (Christian Whitehead). It was pretty great to see.

The story I saw was that AI was used in all the effects and the audience is just going to have to accept it. After the main animation team unionized, they laid them all off and went to AI instead. You can see the difference in quality.

They're about the same now. You can do temporary or permanent. You can get a SD card adapter to not use their proprietary storage.

And then you can install all psp stuff done there too.

I traded mine in when I got a steamdeck, I went back to a PSP instead of a vita for it's size. Just installed a usb-c charger mod on my psp2000 too.

There are PC tools to get around steam DRM. If the time comes where I need to use them, I will. Until then I'll support steam or gog and the game creators one way or the other the goal is to play the games I want and support the people who make them.

I think the main reason for this on PC has been the fact that there's been piracy/licensing for so long. We used to have cd keys to prove you were using the legit disc. You bought a license, and there were cdchecks. Once you were able to prove ownership with a key instead of a disc, and create your own offline installers too? All the reasons to fight against it were gone. On consoles you can't make offline backups. You can't play without constant online license checks. And once the license date rolls over you can't play anyway.

My gog backup, I can install offline tomorrow never touch the Internet and be fine.

I don't see any handheld devices on there. I would argue that this question is about consoles not portables.

I would eat out of the pot instead. Now Im refined and I microwave the bowl of water to heat it up, once its close to boiling, drop the noodles in and put a lid on it to lock in the steam. Wait 5 minutes and were good to go.

The bill as it is written doesn't appear to be a problem. But the implementation needs to be monitored by those affected. A small company can grab a cheap dash cam from Amazon that has all sorts of capabilities that extend past what is currently allowed. And those features have a cost that is usually offset by selling data somehow. I found one model that didn't have a mic as a feature, but it was available if a firmware patch was applied.
