This may be rose colored glasses talking, but IMO the GameCube wasn’t a failure. It had quite a few iconic titles (SSBM, Animal Crossing, Mario Galaxy Sunshine) and to this day the GC controller is still considered one of, if not the best, way to play smash bros.

Agreed, but it was comparable (in sales) to the Xbox and not too far behind the N64. It certainly didn’t put Nintendo under, but of course you could say the same for the Wii-U. Financially you could argue it was a failure (and be largely correct), but IMO whether a console failed or not is more than just the raw units sold.

Also, I misspoke in my original comment - Galaxy was on the Wii, not the GC. Must have been thinking about Sunshine.

I had this happen to me recently too, with an EndeavourOS live USB. In my case, it turned out to be due to a faulty flash, reflashing with Rufus fixed it.

Locally (Baltimore MD), in the city at least, there’s been a plague of car thefts for a while, specifically of Hyundai and Kia models. I forget the exact details, but there’s a software glitch that basically makes them child’s play to hotwire and roll off with.

Strong Bad was ahead of his time when he made the Ab-Abber 2000. Abs in minutes - nay, seconds!

If this was a recent occurrence, it may have been from the 6.6.5 kernel. There was a WiFi regression in that version that did exactly that, slowed the system to an absolute crawl. I got hit by it on my PC and ended up hosing my whole install (because I panicked and botched things up), but my laptop was fine. I finally got things reinstalled a couple days later when 6.6.6 was released, which fixed the regression anyway.

Firefox makes it difficult for IT to manage it through Active Directory and Group rules. Where I work, if it weren’t for the fact that we produce a web app as our primary product, we’d be locked down to only Edge.

They often do articles for Destiny 2 as well, I’ve never understood it. They’re decent articles at least though.
