My favourite games of 2019.
By Joe423 2 Comments
Hey all, another year has passed and another bunch of great games have came out. 2019 felt like a really strong year in terms of video games which makes it slightly unfortunate that I've not been able to play as many 2019 release as I would have liked - hence, this list will be slightly different again, just like last year. Apparently I missed out on a game called Outer Wilds? I'll get around to it for next year...
Resident Evil Series
Yeah, so I got caught up a bit with the RE2 hype but I can't bring myself to play the second game chronologically in a series first. So I did what all good video-gamesmen do and played pretty much every surrounding title.
REmake is a fantastic game that really pushes the survival element of survival horror. I didn't actually realise how, for lack of a better term, hardcore these older games were - limited saves?! Every single bullet counts in this game. I completed Jill's story and moved on to REmake 2 but I'll eventually give Chris a try. I feel this is a game that will only get better on subsequent playthroughs, given you have a better grasp on the layout of the mansion and the rules of the game.
RE4 still holds up - what surprised me most about this game was the fact that it didn't necessarily feel like an action game despite the obvious shift in emphasis... each room and encounter felt like its own puzzle where you had to think and couldn't just spray and pray - games can still learn a lot from RE4.
I've developed a soft spot for RE0 - probably helped by the incredible save theme. I think more likely because the game uses a lot of the same rules as REmake but I was prepared this time. The highs aren't as high and the lows are lower but I think this is still a game worth checking out.
RE7 is easily the scariest game that I've actually finished. Again, every bullet matters - this is pure survival horror. I don't have much else to say about it.
I also played a bit of RE3 but going from REmake 2 to that is just too jarring. I'll get to the remake next year... One final word regarding RE5. I can see this game being fun in multiplayer but in singleplayer it's a complete chore. The encounter design is terrible - it controls exactly the same as 4 but the encounters are not geared towards that control scheme at all. It's a mish mash of half-baked ideas. I doubt I'll ever try it again. I didn't play RE6.
Devil May Cry 3 and 4 Special Edition
So yeah, a Devil May Cry game came out this year and well... you can see where I'm going with this. I actually did a write-up of my playthrough of DMC1 and DmC on this site. Whilst I appreciated 1, I didn't exactly like it... I picked up 3 around then and dropped it after an hour - "BORING" - how wrong I was. Both DMC3 and 4 are fantastic and really fun to play through. Surprisingly, I probably ended up liking DMC4 more than 3 - I like fighting games and 4 reminded me a lot of that genre. You have a bunch of characters to learn with some really cool mechanics - Dante alone will take hours and hours to get good with. The level design and story are definitely better in 3 but the depth of the combat system in 4 hooked me.
Street Fighter V
I still play this game a lot. I still watch this game a lot. Championship Edition seems really cool. I will continue to play and watch this game.
Blazblue Central Fiction
I wish more people played this game. I wish it was getting a sequel and not Guilty Gear.
Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge a few games.
Luigi's Mansion 3 has a lot of charm and a lot of heart but it just didn't grab me like I hoped... I wasn't particularly fond of the progression system feeling like segregated levels rather than one big area. The gold feels completely arbitrary and collecting it feels like busywork. It's not that challenging either. I'll definitely finish it but...
Fire Emblem: Three Houses - this game rules. I fell in love with it for the 10 hours I played... unfortunately I was away from my switch right when it came out and by the time I came back to it I just never got around to playing more. It's not you, it's me.
Kingdom Hearts 3 - this game came out at the wrong time for me. I remember how excited I was for the last Kingdom Hearts game I pre-ordered - Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep in 2010. Yeah... If this game came out then I would have loved it. I still liked it, it's just that Kingdom Hearts isn't as important to me as it once was. I still nearly teared up at the ending and watching the 358 Days Trio and BBS trio reunite still affected me. It's just... it's been too long. The mechanics in the game aren't too enthralling either and the lack of some of the Final Fantasy characters from 1 and 2 was pretty glaring. I loved those Big Hero 6 and Toy Story worlds though.
Without further ado... my top 5 games of 2019.
5. Tetris 99
I think it's worth stating that my taste in games have changed in the last few years as a result of various things but primarily I have less time to lose myself in large story intensive games. Not to say that I won't, but I feel like part of the reason I play fighting games is because I can find 45 minutes or so and just play the game. I don't need to set aside time to play them. I also want the games I play to have a learning process in a sense - if I can go in and tear through the game instantly then it's just not going to grab me. I always loved Spelunky, Dark Souls and the like but I think I can finally articulate what I like about those games. With that in mind, let's get to Tetris 99.
Tetris 99 is a battle royale version of Tetris that essentially has you playing Tetris against 98 other people, trying to survive as long as you can. It's pretty much the definition of a quick, skill based game and fits exactly into what I was saying above. I can dive into it for 30 minutes to an hour, have a good time and improve. I was looking up t-spins, watching high level players and trying to learn more about Tetris in a way that I never have. It's a credit to the core game that I wanted to improve because I wanted to win. I've not won yet, I've came second a few times but I know that I can through practice and learning which is exactly what I want.
4. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
I found myself muttering to myself "This game is actually really good" as I played through this. Ignoring the talking to myself for a second, I was right. This is a really good game which I didn't actually expect. All the pre-release stuff didn't look great and I just wasn't interested. I bought it when it went on sale after seeing some good press and remembering that I actually loved the last game they made - Circle of the Moon (shout-out to that, I inexplicably left it off my best of 2018 list).
Bloodstained is enjoyable because it doesn't hold anything back - it has the same metroidvania loop of explore and fill out a map as much as you can and then find something that allows you to fill it out more but it offers a lot of interesting systems in amongst this. The most obvious is the shard system - destroy an enemy and there is a chance that you'll steal its power. The thing is, these abilities range from completely useless to overpowered and broken but the game never prevents you from getting anything and using it. Go wild! I like a game that's confident enough in itself to give you dumb abilities to use.
3. Resident Evil 2
Yeah, I guess this was fairly obvious from the preamble. There are three key aspects that REmake 2 nails that make it such a delight to play. Atmosphere, encounter design and level design. The game is absolutely dripping with tension, aided by the police department, sewers and research facility that the game takes place in. The levels are claustrophobic, dark and winding which make the enemies seem even more frightening and your supplies seem even more scarce. Each encounter is a puzzle to work out and it's very difficult to brute force through the enemies given the scarcity of ammo and the specific ways that enemies have to be targeted. Mr. X manages to feel omnipresent and terrifying without ever becoming frustrating - a very difficult line to straddle.
In addition to this, RE2 looks great, with fantastic texturing and character models (and a PC port that is incredibly well optimised). The game also controls incredibly well and whilst the puzzles are a bit on the simple side, they remain enjoyable. The characters themselves come with a great dub and remain interesting and the stories throughout the two playthroughs are strong. There have seemingly been more updates since the games release which I'm itching to go back in and try. It's just a good time.
2. Final Fantasy XIV (Shadowbringers)
So in a sense this is cheating... I haven't actually played Shadowbringers at all this year. I have played a hell of a lot of Final Fantasy XIV though. I can't believe I'm actually putting an MMORPG in a game of the year list... weird.
I played all of a Realm Reborn, all of 2.x, all of Heavensward, all of 3.x and now a good chunk of Stormblood and whilst I've been in and out of it, I've never dropped completely because I can't get enough of the world of Eorzea. I used this game as an opportunity to finally try an MMO properly, similarly to how I used Street Fighter V as a means to finally get into fighting games and I'm glad I did - at high levels there is a surprising amount of depth to the classes (I'm currently a Paladin, level 65 or so) with a lot of strategies to consider. Thankfully I chose Tank - I need to actually learn the game to play this class and avoid being a liability whereas I feel any other time I've tried an MMO, I've gone for DPS and never actually considered the dynamics of a party.
The world is alive and the story is surprisingly deep and complex - unlike singleplayer Final Fantasy games, XIV has the opportunity to really flesh out its world and characters due to the continual nature of its medium and it thrives because of that. The game still looks great with a lot of personality in the character designs and some absolutely beautiful locales, especially in the expansion packs. There are parts that drag - midway through ARR and early 2.x the obvious contenders but I've been able to force through them and the highs - end of 2.x and almost all of HW - have been spectacular. The music stands out again - all my favourite games have great music. Tranquility and the theme of Ishgard instantly come to mind for me.
I'm going to keep playing this - not because I feel some weird sense of duty to see it through to the end of Shadowbringers but because I've fallen in love with the game and the world.
1. Devil May Cry 5
Devil May Cry 5 is an action game chock-full of satisfying and complex mechanics that you can combine to your hearts content. The depth Nero and Dante have in terms of playability is fantastic and then you add V, who whilst not as fun, is a different type of character who forces you to completely alter how you play - it almost matches DMC4 SE. The game urges you to replay it and keep upping the ante with the difficulty - you don't even access Nero's full move set until you've beaten the game at least once.
Again, the level design could be a bit better; again, it's frustrating how you can only play some characters in some levels but I felt these criticisms were just minor and the fact that you have these characters to learn and get better with plays exactly to what I'm looking for in a game. Add enjoyable personalities and some of the best music of the year - Nico's Theme and Devil Trigger being obvious highlights. I even ended up liking V's battle theme a lot. The game does the term "Stylish Action Game" proud. The models are also incredible - seriously, just look at Nero and Nico! Add in a story that whilst a bit dumb, does conclude a lot that started in DMC3 in a satisfying way whilst also setting us up for Nero to fully take on the mantle. It was great to get that final Dante vs Vergil battle - just one more fight...
I kind of want to go play this again now. What a game.
I actually struggled on the top 3 ordering for this year... but just typing this out, so much of Devil May Cry 5 stuck with me. I'm smiling just thinking about it. I feel like it maybe hasn't been given the credit it deserves... maybe that's just me. Let's give a shout-out to Capcom though - what a year. Monster Hunter as well which is apparently fantastic and now REmake 3? Is there a better company in video games right now?

provisional sentence summons
A.B.A., Sec. Commutation - The reduction of a sentence, as from death to life imprisonment. As a corollary of the alternate manner of service in subdivision (i)(1)(E), proof of service as directed by order of the court is permitted. 7154 therefore conforms the manner of service under subsection (d)(5) to the manner of service under subsection (d)(4). 110, §§16, 17 (Smith-Hurd 1956); Wis.Stat. (7) which read: "Upon a defendant of any class referred to in paragraph (1) or (3) of this subdivision of this rule, it is also sufficient if the summons and complaint are served in the manner prescribed by any statute of the United States or in the manner prescribed by the law of the state in which the district court is held for the service of summons or other like process upon any such defendant in an action brought in the courts of general jurisdiction of that state.". 60 (N.D. Iowa 1886). Note to Subdivision (e). Q. I am registered to vote, but I moved this past year. Frequent use should be made of the Notice and Request procedure set forth in subdivision (d) in actions against corporations. For complete details, refer to our section "Early Voting.". 242, 90 L.Ed. The European Commission, which has overseen the Brexit talks and is in charge of trade policy for the bloc, said it had adopted a proposal on Wednesday to seek the extension. Q. July 1, 1963; Feb. 28, 1966, eff. Paragraph (2)(A) is explicit that a request for waiver of service by a corporate defendant must be addressed to a person qualified to receive service. We have previously expressed a preference for the service-by-mail provisions of the proposed amendments to Rule 4 which the Supreme Court transmitted to Congress on April 28, 1982. See United States for the use of Tanos v. St. Paul Mercury Ins. Notes of Advisory Committee on Rules—1987 Amendment. Under the applicable law it may be necessary, when the defendant is an infant or incompetent person, to deliver the summons and complaint to a guardian, committee, or similar fiduciary. Thus, it would not seem to be appropriate for the Marshals Service to attempt service by regular mail when serving a summons and complaint on behalf of a plaintiff who is proceeding in forma pauperis if that plaintiff previously attempted unsuccessfully to serve the defendant by mail. §1608. The opportunity for waiver has distinct advantages to a foreign defendant. Section 3 of the bill amends the Appendix of Forms at the end of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by adding a new form 18A, "Notice and Acknowledgment for Service by Mail". "Good cause" does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendant's property. L. 97–462, set out as a note under section 2071 of this title. A secondary effect of this provision for foreign service of a federal summons is to facilitate the use of federal long-arm law in actions brought to enforce the federal law against defendants who cannot be served under any state law but who can be constitutionally subjected to the jurisdiction of the federal court. (b) Issuance. U.S.C., Title 28, §§113 [now 1392] (Suits in States containing more than one district) (where there are two or more defendants residing in different districts), [former] 115 (Suits of a local nature), 116 [now 1392] (Property in different districts in same State), [former] 838 (Executions run in all districts of State); U.S.C., Title 47, §13 (Action for damages against a railroad or telegraph company whose officer or agent in control of a telegraph line refuses or fails to operate such line in a certain manner—"upon any agent of the company found in such state"); U.S.C., Title 49, §321(c) [see 13304(a)] (Requiring designation of a process agent by interstate motor carriers and in case of failure so to do, service may be made upon any agent in the State) and similar statutes, allowing the running of process throughout a State, are substantially continued. Note to Subdivision (c). How can I obtain a DPS Election Identification Certificate? By waiving service, a defendant is not called upon to respond to the complaint until 60 days from the date the notice was sent to it—90 days if the notice was sent to a foreign country—rather than within the 20 day period from date of service specified in Rule 12. ACTIONABLE WRONG. See 2 Moore, supra, 4.32, at 1004; Smit, International Aspects of Federal Civil Procedure, 61 Colum.L.Rev. Since a default judgment can be entered for defendant's failure to respond to the complaint once defendant has been served and the time to answer the complaint has run, it can be argued that a default judgment can be obtained where the mail was unclaimed because proposed subsection (j), which authorized dismissal of a complaint not served within 120 days, provided that mail service would be deemed made "on the date on which the process was accepted, refused, or returned as unclaimed " (emphasis added). See DeJames v. Magnificent Carriers, 654 F.2d 280, 286 n.3 (3rd Cir. The Court held that state law (which required both filing and service within the statutory period) governed, barring plaintiff's action. In addition, the new second sentence of the subdivision permits effective service within a limited area outside the State in certain special situations, namely, to bring in additional parties to a counterclaim or cross-claim (Rule 13(h)), impleaded parties (Rule 14), and indispensable or conditionally necessary parties to a pending action (Rule 19); and to secure compliance with an order of commitment for civil contempt. Pub. A state, a municipal corporation, or any other state-created governmental organization that is subject to suit must be served by: (A) delivering a copy of the summons and of the complaint to its chief executive officer; or. You must be a current registered voter in your former county in order to qualify OR you must have been registered in your old county at the time you submitted a voter registration application in your new county, if you have done so. 1959); United Artists Corp. v. Masterpiece Productions, Inc., 221 F.2d 213 (2d Cir. Congress has provided for nationwide service of process and full exercise of territorial jurisdiction by all district courts with respect to specified federal actions. Is there anything I need to do to make sure that I won't have a problem voting in May? You can obtain a voter registration application from your voter registrar's office, libraries, most post offices, and high schools. Subparagraph (D) of paragraph (1), permitting service by certain types of mail, affords a manner of service that is inexpensive and expeditious, and requires a minimum of activity within the foreign country. Appendix II, at 18 (Advisory Committee Note). See Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft v. Schlunk, 486 U.S. 694 (1988) (noting that voluntary use of these procedures may be desirable even when service could constitutionally be effected in another manner); J. Weis, The Federal Rules and the Hague Conventions: Concerns of Conformity and Comity, 50 U. Pitt. with very strict conditions attached. The European Union will ask Britain if it can take an extra two months to ratify the Brexit trade agreement by extending until April 30 provisional application of the deal.

U.S.C., Title 15, §§5 (Bringing in additional parties) (Sherman Act), 25 (Restraining violations; procedure); U.S.C., Title 28, §§44 [now 2321] (Procedure in certain cases under interstate commerce laws; service of processes of court), 117 [now 754, 1692] (Property in different States in same circuit; jurisdiction of receiver), 839 [now 2413] (Executions; run in every State and Territory) and similar statutes, providing for the running of process beyond the territorial limits of a State, are expressly continued. Appendix II, at 16 (Advisory Committee Note). 1988); Light v. Wolf, 816 F.2d 746 (D.C. Cir. 20. What if I forget to bring my photo identification with me when I vote in person? The aims of the provision are to eliminate the costs of service of a summons on many parties and to foster cooperation among adversaries and counsel. If the circumstances of a particular case satisfy the applicable Federal law (first sentence of Rule 4(e), as amended) and the applicable State law (second sentence), the party seeking to make the service may proceed under the Federal or the State law, at his option. The paragraph is explicit that the costs of enforcing the cost-shifting provision are themselves recoverable from a defendant who fails to return the waiver. 281 (D.D.C.

If a voter does not possess an acceptable form of photo ID, and cannot reasonably obtain one, the voter may still cast a regular ballot by presenting a supporting form of ID and executing a Reasonable Impediment Declaration, noting the voter's reasonable impediment to obtaining an acceptable form of photo identification, stating that the information contained in the declaration is true, that the voter is the same individual personally appearing at the polling place to sign the declaration, and that the voter faces a reasonable impediment to procuring an acceptable form of photo identification. An additional safeguard is provided by the requirement that the mailing be attended to be the clerk of the court. This change, together with the shortened times for issuing a scheduling order set by amended Rule 16(b)(2), will reduce delay at the beginning of litigation. Q. In this respect, the revision responds to the suggestion of the Supreme Court made in Omni Capital Int'l v. Rudolf Wolff & Co., Ltd., 484 U.S. 97, 111 (1987). 361 (1940).

Town & Country Markets, PacWesty offer electric vehicle grocery deliveries
Eats and supplies from Town & Country Markets ride in style as loads of groceries go into the company's vans and zip off to front doors locally in quiet, electric vans.
The company and its delivery partner, Bainbridge Island-based PacWesty, have been bringing groceries to homes for about two years but are now touting an all-electric delivery service. PacWesty, originally launched as an adventure travel company that rents out and works on Westfalia vans, has converted gas-powered delivery vans into an all-electric, battery-powered fleet that brings bags of groceries right to homes with zero tailpipe emissions.
Larger, electric cargo vans were online at the beginning of the year. Vans with refrigeration are designed to use the cooling system for the batteries to also cool cargo areas, which eliminates the need for fuel-driven refrigeration, according to the companies.

"We're taking all those other cars that would have otherwise gone to the grocery, off the road," said PacWesty general manager Greg Dronkert. "It's not just that the machine we're running is zero tailpipe emission, but we've taken 20 other vehicles off the road that are internal combustion vehicles."
PacWesty is still renting out vans to those looking for a weekend trip or local getaway, but now has a section of its business dedicated to logistics.
Town & Country Markets had been eying plans for a delivery service, but the pandemic prompted the company to move ahead with the offering in 2020. The grocery store chain launched the service on Bainbridge Island in a partnership with PacWesty early in the pandemic.
ICYMI:Poulsbo's Central Market is getting a new name
The company had pitched a "more dialed-in, a more sensitive service" compared to gig services like DoorDash, Dronkert said. Ryan Ritter, senior director of technology and products for Town & Country Markets, reached out on a Saturday and asked when the company could start.
"He said, 'How about Monday?'" Dronkert said. "And off and running."
The service has continued over the last two years and grown to cover the company's stores in Poulsbo, Ballard and Shoreline, too. Ritter said online ordering makes up between 6-10% of business now, as numbers flex up and down, and said that there are plans to expand further to serve all six of the Town & Country Markets locations. Dronkert conservatively estimates that the company has delivered 150,000 bags of groceries so far.
Town & Country Markets leases the vans from PacWesty, which owns and operates the delivery service locally. PacWesty has also taken over as a courier service for the grocery chain, shuttling products and documentation around to its locations.
"There's already enough vehicles on the road, traveling in neighborhoods and all about, so it was like, how can we do our part to do grocery delivery to address not just COVID and the pandemic, but being a responsible provider into our communities," Ritter said.
"It comes at a cost," he said. "It's a premium to do this, but we're passionate about it."

As part of broadening focus into new markets, Q Advisors believes cloud-native security will remain a key investment area and an integral part of the cloud native infrastructure given the implications of the velocity and volume of distributed, ephemeral, and remote access services that the move to the cloud brings. Far outstripping any other enterprise IT budget item, spending on cybersecurity continues to ratchet up each year—eclipsing $130 billion in 2020—with long-lasting implications driven by COVID-19 and the surge in demand for Work-From-Home (WFH) access services. Q Advisors further believes that corporate networks are likely to see an accelerated shift towards mobility-enabling services, which in turn provide a strong secular tailwind to cloud-based security, identity access and management (IAM), next-gen endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, and AI-based analytics and automation. We expect this to result in a heightened response toward consolidation by legacy security and IT vendors.

In addition, Q Advisors curated a list of 100 private vendors benefiting from increased investments in the cybersecurity space.

It's that time of year again. The time of year when school officials make final decisions about which teachers will stay and which will leave.
Most Alabama school districts will have fewer teachers funded by the state Foundation program, the main source of funding for most districts. It's a downstream effect of declining public school enrollment since the start of the pandemic, and it may mean job cuts.
How schools and districts make these cuts is ongoing, with many teachers learning in recent days and weeks that they won't be returning next year.
The departure of teachers, especially non-tenured teachers, happens every year, but the loss of state-funded teachers this year is the largest since the Great Recession, according to Alabama Superintendent Eric Mackey, when a few thousand positions were lost.
Ninety-nine of Alabama's 138 school districts will have fewer state-funded teachers for the 2022-23 school year due to lost enrollment over the past two years, for a total of 230 fewer publicly funded positions.
Unlicensed teachers — those who haven't worked in a district for three years — are usually the first to be fired. Some districts told AL.com, however, that they believe normal retirements and resignations would fill most of the gaps, and that local funding could also help retain positions.
Mackey said he expects superintendents to have carefully considered where cuts should be made at this point, after telling districts how many teachers the state would fund in January.
"So there's no, 'we have to wait to see how much [teachers] we will have," he said. "They've known for months."
Mackey said he doesn't like seeing districts make a blanket decision to let all their untenured teachers go, which some will do with the idea of rehiring some of them before the new school year.
Alabama Education Association executive director Amy Marlowe said it's been difficult for teachers who are being laid off due to district budget issues.
"Imagine having to go away all summer. Should I move? What should I do with my family? Should I enroll my children in another school system? she says. "The level of classroom instruction also declines in these systems because teachers have no choice but to go to other school districts and find other jobs."
In August, she says, the districts that let teachers go may be the same ones that have a lot of vacancies.
Alabama's foundation program rates state funding for teaching positions based on the number of students in each class. State funding for schools is historically based on prior year enrollment taken within 20 days after Labor Day.
In 2021, with enrollment down by nearly 10,000 students in the 2020-2021 school year, lawmakers allocated an additional $95 million to schools to avoid laying off hundreds of teachers.
Mobile County — the largest district in the state — has lost 3,000 students since 2019-20, which translates to 185 fewer state-funded teachers for next year.
However, less state funding for teacher units does not automatically mean districts will cut positions. Some districts will use local money to make up the difference.
"We're using local money to fund all but 50 of these teaching positions," Rena Philips, communications director for Mobile County Schools, told AL.com, and the retirements and resignations don't should mean no reduction.
'It's essential to retain as many teachers as possible,' she said, 'because we, like everyone else, face learning loss and mental health issues – all those things that concern our whole country."
"The last thing we wanted to do was lose all those teaching units," Philips said, "because the most important thing these kids have is their teacher."
Birmingham City Schools has lost 1,500 students at 31 of its schools over the past two years, costing the district 127 state-funded teachers this year. Avondale Elementary School lost 11 state-funded teaching positions — 38% of its 2020-21 teaching staff — after seeing enrollment drop from 462 to 289 students.
It's unclear how district officials are making the adjustments because they did not return a request for comment.

Conecuh County in southern Alabama is facing the biggest drop in state-funded positions. The district will see a $1.5 million reduction in foundation program funding, from 104 to 79 teaching positions.
Another 11 districts, most of which are in black belt counties, will lose state funding for 10% or more of teaching positions for the upcoming school year. It is unclear whether districts will be able to find funding from other sources to retain jobs.
Hoover lost 500 students from the 2019-20 through 2021-22 school years. As a result, the state funded 33 fewer teaching positions through the Foundation program.
Deputy Superintendent Ron Dodson said the district will reduce its teaching staff by 32 positions for the upcoming school year, but is still working on that process.
"We can say normal attrition accounted for the majority of units lost," Dodson told AL.com.
Mackey said he believes public school enrollment has plateaued and he sees next fall's enrollment as an indicator of long-term student trends.
"If we see another drop this fall, it probably won't be COVID-related," he said. "It's going to be related to the population."

Letter Urges Legislators to Oppose Debit Card Swipe Fee Reform Rollback
- By Dan Cullen
Legislation to reform debit card swipe fees was passed 10 months ago, but the fight to implement these changes continues on Capitol Hill.
Senators Jon Tester (D-MT) and Bob Corker (R-TN) have introduced legislation that would delay implementation of the Durbin Amendment provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by calling for further study. Under the Durbin swipe fee amendment, the Federal Reserve has the authority to develop regulations to ensure that swipe fees imposed on debit card transactions are "reasonable and proportional" to the actual cost to process the transaction.
This month, the American Booksellers Association joined with eight organizations, including the Main Street Alliance and the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association, in asking Congressional leadership to oppose any attempt to delay the swipe fee reform set to take effect in July. In a letter dated May 17 to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House John Boehner, the groups urged against "any delay in the implementation of the Durbin Amendment provisions on debit card interchange fees contained in the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act."
In addition, ABA e-mailed bookstore members urging them to contact their senators to ask them to oppose any effort to roll back swipe fee reforms. To make it easier, ABA has provided a template letter below that booksellers can adapt and send to their federal lawmakers, or use as a source for talking points during a phone call. (Find your senator here.)
The legislation introduced by Sens. Tester and Corker would delay implementation for 15 months. While no date has yet been set for a Senate vote on the legislation, some supporters of reform expect that the vote will occur soon after the Senate returns from recess, on June 6, as reported by Convenience Store News.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve is tasked with implementing swipe fee reforms, and in December 2010 it issued a Proposed Rule that would set a maximum allowable amount of $0.12 per debit card transaction, regardless of the final sale amount. The Federal Reserve found that the actual cost to financial institutions to process debit cards averaged $0.04 per transaction, yet for years Visa and MasterCard have been charging Main Street businesses much more in order to attract banks to issue their cards.
The Federal Reserve had been expected to issue final rules prior to April 21, 2011. However, on March 29, 2011, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke advised lawmakers that the Board would be unable to meet the April 21 deadline, but that it was committed to meeting the Act's directive that it issue final rules regarding network exclusivity and routing by July 21. In testimony before the Senate Banking Committee in May, Bernanke said that he did not believe there was any need for further study of the issue. "We have plenty of information," he replied when asked, "that is not a problem."
In a recent op-ed piece, Mathtew Shay, the president and CEO of the National Retail Federation (NRF), urged Congress to "stand by last year's vote and not let banks steal swipe fee reform away."
Noting that "swipe fees are no small matter," Shay's piece pointed out both that the fees "drive prices up by $2 for every $100 purchased" and that "at $427 a year for the average household, U.S. consumers pay the highest swipe fees in the world."
NRF has played a leading role in working to ensure that swipe fee reform is fully implemented. In addition, the Main Street Alliance is offering online resources.
Dear Senator:
I am writing to ask you to not co-sponsor and to oppose S. 575, the Debit Interchange Fee Study Act of 2011. This legislation would delay and effectively kill debit card fee reforms scheduled to go into effect this July; reforms that will have a positive impact on my business and ultimately my customers.
For years I have tried to negotiate debit card fee rates and terms of acceptance to no avail. These are one of the fast growing costs I face in my business. This is not just because the volume is rising, but, rather, because the rates are rising, too, despite improvements in technology and economies of scale. The current level of unpredictability and uncertainty in the debit swipe fee market puts a real strain on my ability to budget, plan for my business, and hire new workers.
Last year, Congress passed legislation to provide some relief for me and my customers. I was disappointed then that I would have to wait a year until those reforms would go into effect, but I recognized the need for a deliberative process of writing, reviewing, and enacting those reforms. But now there are some senators and members of Congress who want me to wait two more years so there can be a study of hypothetical reforms, while my rates continue to go up, negatively impacting me and my customers.
As a small business owner, I'm required to compete on price and services every day, but Visa, MasterCard, and the big banks do not. In the midst of the recession last year, networks raised debit card fees tremendously, even as the top 10 banks took in more than half of the $16 billion dollars collected in debit card swipe fees.
Every month that there is a delay in limiting the amount banks and credit card companies charge Main Street businesses translates into another $1.3 billion bailout for Visa, MasterCard, and their big bank allies at the expense of American small businesses and consumers. Consumer groups also agree that a delay of these reforms would be misguided.
I strongly encourage you stand up for Main Street business and consumers by not co-sponsoring S. 575, the Debit Interchange Fee Study Act of 2011, and also opposing any efforts to move this bill in the Senate.

There are a number of foods and beverages that are part of the usual daily diet that help increase weight, as occurs with excessive amounts of carbohydrates.
Now, what if there were even more reasons to avoid them? Experts explain that many of these common foods can also accelerate the rate at which you age. The key is to avoid foods that involve a glycemic peak when digesting them: "For example, foods rich in sugars. Sugar is mainly responsible for glycation, the process by which sugar molecules adhere to collagen fibers and causes them to lose elasticity.
It is as if the collagen caramelized or crystallized, breaking apart. Furthermore, sugar also attacks the components of the plastic cell membrane, favoring the aging of cells " , explains Dr. Perricone , considered one of the of the leading dermatologists worldwide.
What to avoid on the shopping list: Pasta and rice: Its high glycemic index is largely responsible for glycation. The same goes for others like white bread and corn flakes.
Juices: In a natural fruit, although it may contain a lot of sugar, it is well metabolized due to its high fiber content. On the other hand, in a juice the juice is ingested, but not the fiber. This reduces proper metabolism and produces glycation peaks.
Coffee: Although an essential part of the daily breakfast, it has been shown that its intake increases the levels of cortisol, the 'stress hormone', which produces an increase in insulin, greater cellular inflammation and an alteration of the skin barrier that, as Consequently, it can cause hypersensitivity or blemish processes.
Soft drinks 'light' and sweetened drinks: They have a high content of chemicals and sweeteners that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, favoring the absorption of fats and making it difficult for the correct digestion and processing of nutrients.
Alcohol: Alcohol metabolites, molecules known as aldehydes, damage the plasma membrane, producing an inflammatory reaction in cells. The only alcohol that falls off the list is wine, and rarely. This is due to the fact that it contains polyphenols, great antioxidants that protect the body.
Chocolate, a powerful antioxidant
However, dark chocolate is a good ally to slow down the passing of the years . Of course, in small doses, without milk and without added sugars. When we take chocolate as pure as possible, it acts as a powerful antioxidant , preventing the attack of free radicals and, thanks to its high magnesium content, it regulates sugar levels, helps to fix calcium, controls the intestinal flora and protects the system. cardiovascular.

"For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds." // Luke 11:10
I sat in a conference hall surrounded by thousands of other young adults when I got the news. It was Christmas break, I was a junior in college, and I didn't get the prestigious internship I'd been interviewing for for the last few months.
What am I going to do now? Most summer positions had already been filled, and the weight of rejection felt heavy on my heart. I felt helpless, so I mustered up a quick Jesus, I trust in You, which felt more like a last-resort than a courageous prayer, and began to slowly place my fears and anxieties at the foot of the Cross.
A few weeks later, I came across a posting for a summer internship in Phoenix, Arizona. As I looked out my window and saw the piles of snow that surrounded me in Michigan, I thought, Hmm. That could be nice.
Several weeks later, I was making plans to spend the summer in the desert, in a state that I couldn't previously pick out on a map, in a time-zone where I knew virtually no one.
That summer, I met Jenna Guizar and Beth Davis, who made Arizona feel like home with their sweet friendship, prayerful encouragement, and joyful company. I returned to Michigan to finish my senior year, bidding farewell to my brief Arizona life.
But as providence would have it, by the time Christmas break rolled around again, I was making plans to permanently move to Arizona and work full-time for Blessed is She.
I don't know where you are in your life right now, but I do know this: the Lord has a good plan for you, and it's better than you could dream.
It may seem like you've hit yet another dead end and have nothing else to give, and that's okay. Our Father is the most generous giver. He has everything that you need.
He knows every beat of your heart, every dream in your life, every burden you carry. He wants to carry it all and make something beautiful.
He can, and He will.
Pray with me? Jesus, I trust in You.

With Slightly Less Downtime Edition
Top Story
- Europe is threatening to frown at Twitter if Elon Musk closes all the company's European offices and tells the tiny-minded fascists of the EU to take a hike. (Tech Crunch)
For "appropriateness of the expertise and resources allocated" read: "Shuttering local offices and canning EU staff will be frowned upon - hard."That idiocy is Tech Crunch's own wording, but it's understandable because EU officials actually said this:
For those platforms that the Commission will designate as very large online platforms, the risk management obligations also include a strong component on the appropriateness of the resources allocated to managing societal risks in the Union. Among other matters, the Commission will scrutinise the appropriateness of the expertise and resources allocated, as well as the way they organise their compliance function.The appropriate thing to do is for Musk to close down all operations in Europe and direct users at a US-based portal to pay their $8.
It's not like Europe is going to create its own social network.
- Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere amnesty is loosed upon the world. (Tech Crunch)
Twitter has announced it is granting amnesty to all accounts previously banned for reasons other than actually breaking the law or persistent spam.
I strongly suspect that the records of the former Bureau of Censorship and Intimidation contain so much bullshit that they can't even begin to selectively undo the damage of the past four years.
The mass reinstatements start next week; no indication yet how long it will take to complete.
The usual suspects say that this is the three hundred and seventeenth sign of the Apocalypse which seems to be running seriously behind schedule at this point.
Tech News
- The PlayStation 6 could launch in 2028. (WCCFTech)
The PlayStation 5 meanwhile will be in stock in retail stores no later than 2030.
- The FTC meanwhile is frowning at Microsoft's acquisition of Activision. (Ars Technica)
Which in my opinion is good news for Microsoft.
- Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time: IBM is suing Micro Focus for allegedly reverse-engineering CICS to create its own Enterprise Server product... Close to 20 years ago. (The Register)
CICS was first released in 1969. Micro Focus was founded in 1976, and while I couldn't find exactly when the first version of their Enterprise Server was released, it has been quite a while. Not sure if this sort of suit has any de facto expiry on it the way trademarks do.

For The Fifteenth Time Edition
Top Story
- Why Twitter didn't go down, from a Twitter site reliability engineer. (Substack)
Because it's automated.
The funny thing is, this guy worked on the distributed caching system, and the distributed cache is the most visibly unreliable component of the entire platform.
- Twitter is not only still not dead, but is planning to cast some advanced necromancy:
This will be fun.
Tech News
- Stable Diffusion 2.0 is here. (Stability.ai)
The new version of the AI image generation tool has all the same features, only 2.
- The US Navy has been found to have committed software piracy in a $600 million lawsuit. (Gizmodo)
And ordered to pay $150,000.
Which is a pretty sweet deal, honestly. Maybe someone remembered that they have an almost unlimited number of guided missiles.
- Amazon is planning to spend $1 billion a year producing bad movies. (CNBC)
The operative word bad wasn't in the press release for some reason. I guess they just assumed we'd know.
- An in-depth look at the (current) low-end Ryzen 7000 models. (Hot Hardware)
They're by no means bad, but for a pure gaming setup you might be better off with Intel's 13600K than the Ryzen 7600X.
For the stuff I do (software development and testing), the efficiency cores on Intel chips are a pain in the bum, and AMD's chips provide both better and more consistent multi-threaded performance. For gaming or tasks like 3D rendering there's less difference between the two options.

Craftsgiving Edition
Top Story
- So you're building a PC and you just want a basically decent video card that doesn't cost three arms and a leg and require its own substation. What about the new Radeon 6700 (non-XT). Is that any good? Yes. (Tom's Hardware)
It's cheaper than Nvidia's RTX 3060, and if you're not playing with ray tracing turned on it's 25% faster. If you are using ray tracing it's 10% slower, so there is a tradeoff to consider.
- Hololive EN and ID are streaming Minecraft again. I've missed that. Other games tend to be too distracting to have on while I work, but Minecraft is mostly building and chatting, or gathering resources and chatting, or dying horribly in the Nether and chatting.
- Twitter is still not dead.
Tech News
- If you want to pack 768 cores and 24TB of RAM into a single 2U system, Gigabyte has what you need. (Serve the Home)
That's a four node blade system rather than a single shared-memory server, so you'd want to connect it with 800GbE and run some flavour of clustering.
- Bullshit projects, bullshit jobs, bullshit industries. (Earthly)
Been there, done that, currently wearing the t-shirt.
- HP is planning to lay off 6000 workers over the next 3 years. (Thurrott.com)
HP (this is just the consumer products company; the enterprise and engineering divisions are separate entities now) has over 50,000 employees, so over three years that would be less than normal staff turnover anyway.
- WSL is out of beta. (Phoronix)
I haven't done anything hugely taxing with it recently, but I use it every day, and it's very handy. Greatly reduces the need to run a conventional Linux virtual machine.
- The bankruptcy proceedings for collapsed Ponzi scheme FTX have been moved from the Bahamas to Delaware. (CNBC)
It sounds like the Bahamian government was happy to wash its hands of the mess.
- A look inside how news sausages are made. (Semafor)
By gibbering imbeciles, it would appear:
I can't imagine a US intelligence official would be wrong on thisThanks for WWIII fellas.
- Genesis, a sister company of Grayscale in the Digital Currency Group, is reportedly considering filing for bankruptcy. (WCCFTech)
The company supposedly has assets of $2.8 billion and a $35 million exposure from the current crypocalypse, so it would seem that somebody is lying about something.
- Meanwhile, TSMC, one of those stodgy old fashioned companies that actually makes stuff, is looking to invest $32 billion in a 1nm chip factory. (Tom's Hardware)
Better mark where you put it, guys, or you'll never find it again.

Keep Calm And Hit The Mute Button Edition
Top Story
- Why is the entire tech industry imploding at once? (The Atlantic)
Because you locked people into their homes while pumping trillions of dollars into the economy, and then hiked interest rates to combat the inevitable inflation, creating and then bursting a massive bubble.
You idiots.
Tech News
- With Twitter ushering in a new era of free speech - not just Trump, but dozens of other prominent accounts having been reinstated - liberals are vowing to stay and fight. (The Atlantic)
You have to ask, if they label themselves the "resistance", what exactly they are resisting. They seem extremely upset that one tech company is now run by a middle of the road vaguely libertarian guy who sees their histrionic antics for what they are.
- Tumblr is adding support for ActivityPub so that it can be part of the Fediverse. (Tech Crunch)
All this shit started when Tumblr banned porn. Before then, the crazies were safely contained. Now, Elon Musk has had to spend $44 billion to stop them burning civilisation to the ground.
- Samsung has stolen a lead over everyone else with 3nm chip production - but only 20% of the chips actually work. (WCCFTech)
Early production on a new process often has high failure rates, but a 20% yield is really bad.
- Is wine fake? Well, yes, but also no. (Asterisk)
The article provides some details about a study I'd read of previously, that found that wine experts couldn't tell the difference between red and white wine in a blind tasting. That's not quite true, as most things aren't.
- For example, Pfizer is not hiking the price of COVID vaccines by 400%. (Ars Technica)
It's only 300%.
- Did Sam Bankman-Fried buy off the media? (Reason)
<shake shake>
Signs point to yes.
- Trust us, we totally have $10 billion worth of Bitcoin, says Grayscale. (WCCFTech)
"Can we see it?"
They are currently trading at about half of their claimed value.
- Amazon Alexa is on track to earn $10 billion this year. (Ars Technica)
Except in the opposite direction. I'm not sure how they've managed it but Amazon's Telescreen division is bleeding money eight times faster than Twitter was.

Safety Last Edition
Top Story
- CBS abandoned Twitter over safety concerns, apparently worried that someone might correct their mistakes.
They lasted a day.
- Meanwhile individual journalists are fleeing free speech for the comfort of the distributed platform Mastodon, which is going about as well as you might expect.
The one thing crazier and more self-absorbed than journalists, it turns out, is people who run Fediverse nodes.
Tech News
- If computers keep getting faster, why do they sometimes feel like they're getting slower?
Because they are. (Dan Luu)
Measuring the time from pressing a key to the matching character appearing on the screen, the fastest system on the list is... The Apple IIe.
- Proof of Solvency: Using the blockchain to make sure that blockchain exchanges aren't Ponzi schemes. (Vitalik.ca)
Might not work, but the more friction you throw in the way of fraud, the better.
- Price cuts expand on the Ryzen 7000 range. (WCCFTech)
The leaked price of the upcoming 7900 is $429 against $549 MSRP for the faster 7900X, but the 7900X is now selling for $474, so if you want it you might as well buy it now. (The 7900X can be configured to run at 65W just like the 7900 non-X.)
- You will never fix it later. (Useless Devblog)
This is not entirely true, though the counterexamples are most often when the thing you promised to fix later suddenly breaks down entirely.

Return Of The God Emperor Edition
Top Story
- After a poll that garnered fifteen million votes, Donald Trump's Twitter account has been reinstated.
The usual suspects are, well, usual suspecting:
Given that both Apple and Google carry Trump's own Truth Social app in their stores, I think the answer there might not be what Karen was looking for.
Tech News
- Oh no, there's another one.
Guess I gotta buy it. It's a great case, but not cheap, and these special editions run 50% over the price of the regular version.
I'd be in trouble if they announced they were doing all of Hololive.
- Artifacts of range restriction: When predictive factors aren't. (Towards Data Science)
One example is particularly clear: Among employees of tech companies, technical skill is one of the weakest predictors of success. That's because tech companies are trying to hire the top 5% by technical skill, and with that range restricted other factors are amplified.
- Nvidia is expected to launch its mobile 4000 series GPUs on January 3. (WCCFTech)
Leaked numbers indicate the mobile 4060 will be faster than the mobile 3070, and the mobile 4070 will be faster than the current top of the line mobile 3080 Ti.
I wish they'd give them different names to the desktop cards, though.
- Looking for an 8 core NUC that can double as a four port 2.5Gb firewall/router? This is one. (Serve the Home)
If you don't mind ordering from a random company on AliExpress and getting who knows what BIOS, it does seem to work.
- Funny how this suddenly became possible after the entire Twitter management team and three quarters of the stuff were terminated and locked out of the network.

Rumours Of My Death Edition
Top Story
- Twitter is dead. (Ars Technica)
- Seriously, Twitter is dead. (WCCFTech)
- Twitter is dead, no really you guys, follow us on Twitter for updates on this and other breaking stories. (Unusual Whales)
- Wait, was this Musk's plan all along, to rid the company of thousands of expensive but useless employees? (Tech Crunch)
Well, someone wins a kewpie doll.
- Previously banned Twitter accounts are being reinstated. (The Verge)
Including the Babylon Bee and Jordan Peterson, who were both silenced for correctly identifying the sex of mental patients.
Top Story
- Yoel Roth, former head of Twitter's Censorship and Intimidation department, should have been fired on Day One. (New York Times)
I was prepared to give him a chance - one chance. I was wrong.
Here he discusses why he quit after Musk also gave him a chance. Short version: He loathes freedom of speech and wants to see it eradicated everywhere, because someone might say something bad.
- China's new home-grown CPUs could soon offer the same IPC (instructions per cycle) as AMD's Zen 3. (WCCFTech)
Missing from the story is the number of cycles per second, which is kind of important here. You can get any IPC number you want if you can slow down the clock speed. At its simplest, you can can internally double the clock speed - feed in a 1GHz clock and run the chip at 2Ghz - and sell it as a 1GHz part with amazing IPC.
- Good news: There's no shortage of the RTX 4080. (WCCFTech)
Bad news: That's because it's overpriced and nobody wants it.
- Google's new AI is racist. (Ars Technica)
Because of course it is.
Yeah, that's exactly what these language models do. (And the AI image generation models as well.) They don't understand anything. They don't reason. They just break down words (or images) to mathematics and recombine them in new ways.
- Twitter is dead, by the way. AI researchers are definitely not active there.
- Robot delivery service Nuro is laying off 20% of its staff. (Tech Crunch)
They build robots to deliver stuff; they don't deliver robots. Or maybe they do.
- Was the FTX "hack" actually the Bahamian government freezing their assets as part of a criminal investigation? (MarketWatch)
Maybe. The appointed administrator says he has evidence that this is the case. And he's the guy brought in to liquidate Enron so he knows a thing or two about reading cooked books.

Top Story
- Looks like Elon is getting his 75% staff cuts. (ABC) (No, the other one)
He told staff to either commit to doing their jobs or quit now. Sounds like many have chosen option B.... In a recession, with the entire tech industry either in a hiring freeze or actively laying off staff, and the crypto sector in particular having a complete shrieking meltdown.
Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.
- Alameda Research - bankrupt sister company to the bankrupt FTX - had $14.6 billion in assets just six months ago. (CoinDesk)
Unfortunately most of this was imaginary, including billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies issued by FTX.
Meanwhile FTX was spending billions of actual money on garbage. (Semafor)
Investing money in FTX was like giving a bottle of hundred year old brandy to an alcoholic.
Tech News
- Ticketmaster is probably glad that Twitter and FTX are eating the news cycle after having to cancel ticket sales for Taylor Swift's 2023 tour. (ABC)
They reportedly received 3.5 billion requests for tickets, which seems like a lot, but:
"For example: based on the volume of traffic to our site, Taylor would need to perform over 900 stadium shows (almost 20x the number of shows she is doing) … that's a stadium show every single night for the next 2.5 years."Suffering from success, I guess.
Oh, and after ignoring the growing FTX disaster for years, Congress now wants to investigate Ticketmaster. Guess they didn't bribe the regulators.
- AMD is expected to release 65W non-X versions of the 7600, 7700, and 7900 at significantly lower prices than the X models. (WCCFTech)
Those are 6, 8, and 12 core parts respectively. There was a 65W 12 core 5900 part, but it wasn't available in retail. It will be interesting to see how the 7900 performs given that the 7900X is rated at 170W.
- Fred Brooks has passed away. (Twitter)
Brooks was the project manager for IBM's massively successful System/360 mainframes and OS/360 operating system, and wrote of his experiences in the classic The Mythical Man Month.
His name is attached to Brooks' Law: Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later, though he personally considered this an "outrageous oversimplification". Not untrue, but an oversimplification.

Out Of Bees Error Edition
Top Story
- Twitter workers are now being expected to, well, work. (Ace of Spades)
A good roundup of events with plenty of juicy links and communists to mock, plus details of the Deep State's determination to get that damn Musk now that he's taken one of their prime propaganda tools away from them.
- Meanwhile Amazon has started its own massive layoffs of useless communists. (Thurrott.com)
They're not going to stop supporting communist causes, they're just not going to keep them on their payroll.
Which I suppose is something. Let them all start vegan organic locally-sourced fair trade coffee shops in Portland.
Tech News
- One $5000 AMD Epyc CPU outruns two $8000 Intel Xeons. (Phoronix)
True, it's a geometric mean of 200 benchmarks, both single and multi-threaded, and it doesn't fare quite so well when you only look at the multi-threaded workloads. Still impressive, particularly when we note that this is a 32 core chip in a range that goes up to 96 cores.
- The Five Essential Keys. (Starlabs)
PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, and... SysRq?
Weird, but this is designed to be primarily a Linux laptop rather than Windows.
Choice of an Intel 12900H or AMD 6800H - similar compute performance but the integrated graphics on the AMD chip are twice as fast, up to 64GB of RAM and 4TB of SSD, a 3840x2400 display (or a 2560x1600 165Hz screen, but since it doesn't have a dedicated GPU that's kind of pointless), two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, three USB-A, HDMI, microSD, and an audio jack.
You can even customise the keyboard, but only if you choose the international layout which is kind of awful.
- The Australian Stock Exchange has cancelled its five year mission to boldly go where no stock exchange has gone before. (The Block)
The plan was to record all trades on the blockchain. After five years of work they've scrapped the effort at a cost of A$250 million.
I could have failed to deliver that project in half the time at a quarter the cost. Call me next time, guys.
- Micron is cutting DRAM and flash memory production by 20%. (Tom's Hardware)
It takes months for chips to go through the pipeline so this won't affect supply any time soon, but the supply chain may take the opportunity to increase prices. Probably not a lot, though. If the chips were selling well, Micron wouldn't be cutting production.
- Lenovo is releasing another large, high resolution table. (Liliputing)
The 11" Tab Extreme joins the Tab K10, Tab M10 FHD, Tab M10 FHD Plus, Tab M10 Plus, Tab P11 Plus, Tab P11 Pro, and Tab P12 Pro in Lenovo's range of full-size tablets with 1920x1200 or higher resolution displays.
Their sole small high-resolution tablet available outside China, the M8 FHD, was quietly killed earlier this year.
Not that I am still salty about that at all.
