I know, Bulbasaur came to mind for us too, but Petilil is a far cry from the very first Pokémon in the National Pokédex. While Petilil and its evolved form Lilligant don’t have much use in Pokémon Go, being pretty awful across Go Battle League and raids alike, it’s a great opportunity to look for the elusive 100% IV Petilil, which is usually an uncommon spawn. With the eventual release of Hisuian Lilligant, however, this could be a good time to stock up on high-IV base forms!...

Thanks to its NVMe connection and fast QLC (quad level cell), you can get sequential read speeds of up to 2400MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2000MB/s. That makes it about four or five times faster at tasks like large file transfers than even the fastest SSDs that use the older SATA connection. This high capacity and high peak speeds make the P2 a great choice for storage rather than for booting up an OS, although will still be more than capable for bundling your copy of Windows on....

This new ruling follows PlayStation’s rebuttal to the original suit, which it deemed as describing “unactionable allegations of run-of-the-mill personnel activity”....

Wilson issued the comment at a financial event organised by Goldman Sachs (transcribed by Seeking Alpha), where he contrasted Call of Duty’s situation with that of Battlefield - the latter of which, he boasted, was “platform agnostic”. “In a world where there may be questions over the future of Call of Duty and what platforms that might be on or might not be on, being platform agnostic and completely cross-platform with Battlefield, I think is a tremendous opportunity,” Wilson said....

The study found that 77 percent of youth are at least playing fewer hours per week, even though only 54 percent are within approved hours.
