IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

I really want a Trinitron with component inputs. I have this elaborate and expensive plan to have all my older consoles hooked up to my modern TV with automatic switching and upscaling...but honestly. I really just want a good old CRT for these.

I begrudgingly admit that Claude just saved me hours of tedious coding on a problem that wasn't really all that interesting.
It was a very "machine friendly" parsing problem. Honestly a waste of my human brain cells.

After my Xbox Ally review, I never stopped testing. If Microsoft could get it to sleep without losing gobs of battery or crashing, it'd be a huge deal!
But Microsoft wouldn't even admit anything was wrong.
I switched to Bazzite, and it's like a whole new device.

Say it with me: Windows is the problem with Windows handhelds
The Xbox Ally is better with Bazzite.
