<p>I can pour myself a bowl of cheerios. That doesn’t mean I’m easily impressed by someone else preparing a similar bowl of cereal.<p>Though, I have been finding a lot of utility in programs that support otherwise deprecated hardware, now that is some good slop.</p>

<p>There’s certainly novelty to this, I’d love one if the price were reasonable. Direct capture, almost like a polaroid for vinyl records, no need to “develop” it.<p>I imagine artists could sell a super-limited (i.e. 1 copy) live recording of a show the second it ends for a premium, especially if they kept the machine on stage and personally packaged and signed it.</p>

<p>Neat page, though having a section for total number of devices might be useful, anything that can download a lot of data via automatic updates.<p>Video games are in the hundreds of gigs now. Having a faster connection than strictly necessary saves a lot of waiting, in my experience.</p>

<p>I reckon most folks have made a git oopsie and needed to re-clone a repo at least once in their career.<p>Having a “local remote” would be an awfully quick way to do that, especially in situations with no/low network connection or a flakey upstream server.</p>

<p>From what I recall, caffeine is mostly a concern for folks with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.<p>Most adults can build tolerance, and I believe some studies are showing potential links between caffeine consumption and positive outcomes.<p>Of course, things get a little weirder with higher doses, and I am a bit concerned about new methods like pre-workout powder.</p>

<p>I had a calc prof years ago that would say f of cow, or f of pig instead of x or g. It was more engaging trying to keep track of f of pig of cow than the single-letter func names.<p>He was one of those classic types; you could always catch him for a quick chat 4 minutes before class, as he lit up a cig by the front door. Back when they allowed smoking on campus, anyway.</p>

<p>> If you already own OpenTTD on Steam, nothing changes. You’ll continue to receive game updates as usual. If you ever need to re-download the game, the game will remain in your Steam library.<p>This part of the announcement was nice, too. It would suck if existing users had it deleted from their libraries.</p>
