But the sale numbers are probably much higher nowadays, so it would be feasible to sell games for cheaper. But why would they? People are gonna buy them anyway. Those who won't will get them on a sale later.
I remember this joke usually involving eggs. But I suppose that had to be changed, for reasons.
"Iela" means "street" in Latvian, so yeah.
Speaking of, my favorite street in Riga is Lielā iela. If for nothing else, then just for how that name sounds. But also "lielā" (feminine of "liels") means "big", but Lielā iela ("Big Street") is tiny, just one car wide (for the most part) and is barely even visible on the map.
That's how Google always worked, btw. But there is one obvious benefit to showing the original URL before you click it, you can hover it to see where the link actually leads before they hijack the click.
It's definitely not just a couple of seconds, unless you have a very lightweight OS and only 1 or 2 apps to work with. And no matter how little extra time it takes to cold boot the system, there's still no benefit to doing it that way, so no matter how little that time is, it's still wasted.
As I mentioned, one is free to use their computer however they wish, but it doesn't make it not wasteful to shut it down. If grabbing something to eat was part of my daily routine, I'd grab it beforehand, instead of needlessly going back and forth, wake the computer and use it immediately.
Firstly, I normally have way more than two apps open. And secondly, in case of a few apps, I personally still value the couple minutes of my time more than I do 2% of my battery. But to each their own.
