I tried watching Macross Delta before english subs were offered; the fansubs by Deadfish, included these simple lines which in my head-cannon are a flawless translation of what the japanese characters said:
"Jellyfish chips is like crack."
'Yes.'

If you think that's rough, try watching CBS Sunday Morning.
I swear to god, that free show that airs on broadcast TV, must be one of the hardest currently running shows to stream.
Well, that & "Shaka Ilembe"
Edit: I say Sunday Morning is hard to stream, because the CBS streaming app repeatedly fails to load the right segment after a commercial break, starting the show over at the beginning; if you skip forward from there, it shows another commercial break after you try to seek. Our last viewing of this 90-minute show, took 3.5 hours.

I knew people with NiMh batteries for their RC cars\planes\boats, but the first time I ever saw NiMh AAs, was in a GameGear.
Likewise... I haven't bought a game on optical media since the Wii.
Hm... I've never bought PC software on a disc...!?
And yet I have all these old Windows & Office & game discs... Man, hoarding tech is a weird habit.
Man, I hear "disc drive" & I think "hard disc drive". I've connected optical drives when USB boot wasn't supported, but the last time I voluntarily used a disc drive was to test an M-Data disc burned to silicon. But yeah, none of these new devices have a HDD or optical (or floppy disk, for that matter).
Those are not discs.
Less "not optimized", & more "not supported"; IE, accelerations that don't turn on, because companies like Intel, Broadcom, Samsung, & NVidia, have a long history of only giving preferred partner devteams, prerelease hardware access, much less any peeks at unobfuscated firmware.
I would 100% end up like that guy from the Twilight Zone episode, who gets some time to himself & immediately breaks his glasses.
Now if only I didn't have to go 5 miles outside town, to reach a store that still stocks desirable inventory. When I realize that almost nothing is stored in town where the majority of sales would otherwise occur, I feel like our cities are just kinda doomed?

Yes! I had three NiCd to every one NiMH, & the NiCd would all be flat within minutes; then I'd switch to the NiMH for some actual fun & within 30 minutes they're all spent for the day. Sometimes I stripped the single-use flat cells out of used Polaroid film packs, for just a few minutes of superior power:weight ratio on my littlest RCs
Then there were the flashlights we'd use for hours but if you put the same cells in the GameGear, dead in no time.
LiPo cells were like a revelation...
Come to think of it, the PSP had an optical drive which was a battery hog too; I remember a friend being elated that I'd found an aftermarket pack with more mAh.
