It looks like a broadband router. It's pretty standard design. And all that space is to keep it cool and quiet, I suppose. It's got some pretty powerful hardware in there that's gonna be generating a lot of heat.

I mean, 3rd party stuff might get removed after X months (esp if pubs come up with next gen remasters they wanna sell you), but this is basically Sony's GamePass lite, so it makes ense they'd keep a strong library of "intro titles" for people just jumping onto the new console.

My understanding was they'll be available indefinitely, as long as you stay subbed.

series X is for 4k

Series S is for 1080p

I think S still has a disk drive? Not sure about that though.

Yeah, like I said, my case wasn't terrible. I finished Queens undergrad with 30k overall, my parents paid off 15 of that (they also paid for my rent (400-450/month) while I was rooming in houses for 3 years, cuz they didn"t want me working in school); after law school I was back up to 54k (I think?), which is what I ended up repaying over the next 6 years.

Like I said, my education didn't cost a ton; I was also banking okay money in the summers (working insane hours at WWK those years) and generally kept my expenses pretty low, so didn't dip into the loan money for any living expenses- it was purely tuition/rez/meal plan. After I got the guard job in summer of 2006, all my personal expenses for food and alcohol came from my own money, not the loans. (1st year I also had a bunch of bursaries, cuz my high school grades were decent, so I lived off those)

And yeah, I also had the experience in 2009 when I started looking for actual jobs that, yah, good luck with your non-specialized BScH. Though to be fair, psych faculty informed us we need to get at least a master's if we wanna work in the field... halfway through Third year

There definitely need to be changes in the system, including better communication of job market expectations. Pursuing your dreams/interests is great, but people need to have an early reality check as to how marketable that poli sci degree actually is, regardless of all the genuinely cool stuff you can learn.

And basic post-secondary education should be affordable- because we deff need the majority population to have at least a modicum of critical thinking so as not to end up like our southern neighborinos.
