This is the sad thing about the digital age. As soon as companies go out of business, their products no longer work essentially erasing not only your purchase, but also history.
I hate the attack on physical media. Streaming services aren't a good replacement
At least my CDs will still work and sound great on my speakers from the 90s.
That kid robot death is just another example of why free and open source is better. People should have the option of putting their own OS and software on the robot to keep it going as long as they want.
RIP Apple Vision Pro 2024 - 2024
It is pretty funny that that Boston Dynamics robot was programmed to act like it injured its nuts when it fell down.
To anyone with a car thing: there’s a project online that brings it back to life. It's called desk thing, it’s fairly easy to set up and makes it so much more feature-rich.

Don't forget: 2024 also saw the death of Online play for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. No more tourneys in Smash Bros Wii U, no more Ghost Races in the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8, No more GTS and online trades in Pokémon Gen 6 and Gen 7, and millions of user-created levels in the first Super Mario Maker are forever lost.
any hardware that requires subscription is a redflag. instant e waste
I will never convert to streaming all of my entertainment. I still prefer physical media that I actually own.
"who needs an optical drive anymore?" Me: still developing PS1 games as a hobby
This is why you never subscribe to Google Services other than Google Drive. It’s not a matter of if, but when they would discontinue it.
What kind of sick freak films their kids for TikTok while breaking the news that their favorite toy is going to die?
3:56 actually after spotify had some pressure the Car Thing source files was released and now the Car Thing is a Car mod (or with a open source mod - desk thing, can be a desk... thing), with users able to load custom firmware onto it
I still burn CD's and iTunes, definitely not dead
"Who needs an optical drive anymore?" Me: recently built a PC and put a BluRay drive
