Title is accurate!

unsliced bread needed to be opened completely for cutting,

Depending on the packaging you can expose one end of the bread and cut what you need without exposing the rest. That's usually what I do unless I'm expecting to serve the majority of what's left right now.

Nintendo has a lot of active "super mario" trademarks with the USPTO, 79259975 includes the following:

G & S: IC 030: Tea; tea-based beverages; coffee; coffee-based beverages; cocoa; cocoa-based beverages; pastries; candy; ice cream; cookies; chocolate; popcorn; chewing gum; bread; buns; sandwiches; pizzas; pies; cakes; frozen yogurt confections; pancakes; crackers; mints for breath freshening; seasonings; ketchup; dressings for salad; cereal bars; oatmeal; corn flakes; noodles; pasta sauce.

This would limit the supermarket from carrying their own store brand product lines for these product types.

Off the top of my head I can confirm my supermarket stocks their own brand of :

Tea; coffee; cocoa; pastries; candy; ice cream; cookies; chocolate; bread; buns; pies; cakes; seasonings; dressings for salad; cereal bars; oatmeal; corn flakes; pasta sauce.

Admittedly my local is part of a large chain so this may not be typical but even independent supermarkets in my area tend to repackage bulk candies and chocolate under their own label.

An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC.

This is very explicitly not making any promises beyond these 4 titles. :\

I've lost track, is Helldiver's 2 still PSN optional but still unavailable in non-PSN regions?

Not really, my reading is that they want it to bypass the battery when docked.

Their take is that the battery power is irrelevant once it has an external power supply.

For "family" devices its a feature that many parents would be happy to use.

I enable the battery health options on my kid's tablets, I'm happy to sacrifice a little bit of operating time in year one if it means I still have "near new" operating time in year two and on.

You’d have to sacrifice too much of a capacity to prevent it so it’s easier to just try no to go below 20% of charge.

But that's the thing, you are sacrificing the capacity its just that you are being asked to make that decision manually each and every time. They know how the drain/recharge cycles effect the battery so they could set the min/max cutoffs to optimum values.

For SSDs we expect them to over provision the storage and consider the increased longevity a measurable benefit. I don't see why batteries should be any different.

if you go that far you’re damaging it.

If that's true to any significant degree that's an even bigger problem.

The device should be switching off with something to 5% charge remaining to prevent battery damage.

I think Sims 1 was physical only.

As a digital product EA halted distribution of the Sims 2 with very little notice:

On July 16, 2014, Electronic Arts announced the end of support for The Sims 2. As a response, The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection was released at the same time as a limited time offer. The game became available for free download from Origin exclusively following an announcement by EA that they would no longer be supporting the game. This offer ended at 10:00 PDT July 31, 2014.

Oddly it looks like Mac got a version via another distributor not long after ?!

This claims a $4404 box office?

For film I thought "box office gross" was the amount paid for tickets at the cinema. Is the article using a different definition of "gross"?

I'm reading the 2015 Howard the Duck and it looks like it had companion content available on a now defunct mobile app.

What the content ripped and archived anywhere?

 

The Australian Government has announced changes to the way video games are classified in Australia. Starting from September 22nd, 2024, two new rules will apply to games that include “in-game purchases with an element of chance,” such as loot boxes [now M], and games that feature “simulated gambling,” like casino games [now R18+].

The spoiler syntax is supported when editing but fails to render when viewing.

Example (spoiler alert I suppose!):

Personally I have held back from discussing details of current films because spoiler masking isn't guaranteed and I don't want to ruin anyone's experience. If Boost can add this then we are one step closer to a perfect world.

The gif format is currently lacking pinch zoom support.

This makes it impossible to see details like text in larger images.

Some examples:
