I wouldn’t be surprised if the theme also showed up in books that predate all of these films.
There are a couple of emulation communities outside of Beehaw:

you’ll get “a product that works like new with genuine PlayStation replacement parts (as needed) that has been thoroughly cleaned, inspected and tested”. You will receive all the cables and paperwork you need for a PS5, and it comes with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty
That’s worth a premium to some people.
A large part of the reason Mercedes and other German brands were considered high quality was that they were more reliable than a lot of other brands on the market, while being good to drive.
“Good to drive” is a bit of an understatement. German cars have enjoyed car enthusiasts’ favor for decades, despite often mediocre reliability, specifically because they were great to drive. There are multiple dimensions to that, ranging from the safety advantage (and fun) afforded by giving the driver a good feel for what’s going on between the tires and the road surface, to an excellent balance of responsiveness and comfort from well-designed suspension. VW even ran an ad campaign around it: Fahrvergnügen
Japanese and American cars generally could not compete in this area.
However, those same German cars also became famous for developing endless little problems over the course of ownership, from annoying rattles to failing parts that were either expensive to buy or difficult to reach (and therefore expensive to replace).
If there was a time when German cars were known for above average reliability, I think it must have preceded the more recent generations. Maybe back before Japan had started investing in this area?

Terrible idea, predictable results.
Is there a text version? Or if someone watched the video, are these drives sold by Amazon or by third party sellers?
Even League of Legends?

This bit seems relevant, given that Ukraine’s stated intention has always been reclaiming their own land:
The overall goal of the incursion is not immediately clear. Conflict analysts have suggested that Ukraine may be trying to alleviate some pressure on its forces elsewhere along the sprawling front line, gain leverage for potential territorial negotiations with Russia, or even just humiliate Moscow and boost morale in Kyiv.
I don’t know the whole story behind Cybenetics, but I think it started just a few years ago as one guy who was active in the hardware enthusiast community and dissatisfied with the info generally available about power supplies. He has been doing outstanding work, not only in measuring performance and efficiency in multiple dimensions, but also in measuring the noise produced by these things at various workloads, and publishing the results for free. The reports were instrumental in my last hardware purchase, and I’m very happy with the model I chose.
It’s great to see his work recognized by a big vendor, and to see a big vendor moving to a superior certification system. Thanks for posting this.
Interesting. Can you link some details?
Annual isn’t enough.
Pooled estimates of VE of a primary vaccination cycle against laboratory-confirmed Omicron infection and symptomatic disease were both lower than 20% at 6 months from last dose administration. Booster doses restored VE to levels comparable to those acquired soon after the administration of the primary cycle. However, 9 months after booster administration, VE against Omicron was lower than 30% against laboratory-confirmed infection and symptomatic disease.
Since the site is a bit overloaded right now:
It appears so.
We could quibble about the details, but all of them are fundamentally last-man-standing competitions.
The Hunger Games was indeed one of them. I didn’t mention it because it’s the most obvious one in current cultural memory (no need for me to point it out) and because Battle Royale came a decade earlier, and Battle Royal half a century before that. The characters’ situation is probably older than printed words.
Even if a competitive game format was unique to the Hindi film, it would be tough to argue that nobody else could have thought of that detail when making their own variation of the same theme. Calling it a “blatant rip-off” of Luck (2009) is quite a stretch.
(Incidentally, the Luck synopsis that I read says it focuses on gambling, not competitive trials or children’s games. A quick look at the video confirms it.)
