I imagine this could be neat way to troll Amazon's walk-out stores. I'm not entirely sure how those stores work, but I'm guessing they keep track of you with cameras to tie you to a credit card. Someone enters the store, registers their card, but then just disappears. Suddenly stuff is disappearing off the shelves, attributable to no customer. Would the system just let them walk in its confusion or sound an alarm?

I mean, from a technical standpoint the PS2 has higher raw performance numbers: 300MHz vs. 200MHz CPU, 150MHz vs. 100MHz GPU, 32MB vs 16MB RAM, etc. Even factoring architecture differences, those are some large number differences. Of course, what developers actually DO with the added power is another story. Just like some later DC games looked better than early PS2 games, some of the later PS2 games would have been impossible to bring to the DC. And they did manage to eventually find a workaround for the lack of AA on the PS2 with those ugly bloom and "smear" filters. ;)

try Volumio (https://volumio.org/). it can do both multiroom and airplay.

AFAIK the incas did know about the wheel, and could have presumably made them out of wood, but chose not to due to religious reasons. They venerated the sun and its shape, thus using something circular for such mundane purposes would have been tantamount to blasphemy. source: some tour guide in belize.

That's correct - the Xbox was about 95% COTS PC components. It had a Pentium 3, a Geforce 3 deriviative, 64MB DDR RAM, and a 8GB IDE HDD. Compare that to the PowerPC or MIPS processors and custom GPUs the competition was using at the time.
