While Australia is not part of Europe - we do compete in Eurovision, so hopefully this isn’t too much of a stretch: Ksubi

Their premium designs/cuts are actually made in Portugal, too!

OK, so even taking it at face value - is this a tacit admission that more than 1-in-4 of Palestinians killed by the IDF were women, children and the elderly?

“…a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.”

Nintendo launched the first Switch at $299; just accounting for inflation over the past years - that’s ~$390 now, BEFORE even trying to account for any Trump-tariffs they have been (or will be) imposed on electronics hardware.

I hate to give Nintendo credit, but $450 is actually somewhat reasonable given the current global shit-show.

From my understanding, calling a person from Poland ‘Eastern European’ is basically akin to asking for a fight.

Europe doesn’t end at Russia’s border - it ends at the Ural Mountains, so even drawing a midpoint between Portugal in the West and the mountains in the East still puts Poland, Slovakia and firmly in the western half.

I mean, sure you could arbitrarily divide a region as you see fit; by that logic California and Arizona are technically part of ‘The South’, since they’re in the bottom 50% of the continental US - right?

That PS3 custom-mod is absolute mint!

I wonder if cribsnib has any intention of selling kits/shells — I can’t say for certain if I’d be able to afford it, but goddamn do I want one!

Not to be that guy, but technically:

  • Denmark & Sweden are Northern Europe
  • Germany is Central Europe
  • Spain & Italy are Southern Europe

The Looney Toons (Tunes? I’m too lazy to look it up) movie cancellation was by WB/Discovery - who have developed a bit of a habit doing that, but it’s not common in the wider industry.

At this point, the movie is so infamous that they may as well try to cash in and cover some of those lawyer fees!

I remembered reading somewhere that ASRock started off as ASUS ‘budget’ brand - but had since been spun off into its own entity.

I thought that meant that they were sold off, and were a completely separate company now - but it looks I was wrong, they’re still a subsidiary. 🙁

MSI have dropped AMD as a GPU partner as of this generation (funnily enough - also the same generation they had proven to be their highest selling!), and their next generation of PSUs have dropped PCIe 6+2 for whatever the current HPV12 implementation is, so they’re in my shit-list too.

Gigabyte’s warranty support has been ass in the past (at least in my region), and their 3000-series GPUs were prone to overheating due to poor quality thermal pads. Oh, and their PSUs were sub-par and prone to exploding!

I think ASRock is the only ‘Tier 1’ brand (that I’m aware of) without massive controversies in the past few years?

Tech bros, libertarians, contrarians and people who don’t ’follow politics’.
