This article says these numbers are not correct: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/dec/14/instagram-posts/heres-how-much-kevin-mccallisters-home-alone-shopp/
To be considered: minimum wage in the US in 1990 was $3.80/h, and it’s $7.25/h in 2023, so 1.91 times higher. If $1 of 1990 equals $2.42 of 2023 (because of inflation), minimum wage should be $9.20/h to have the same purchase power as 1990.

I believe the OLED was actually going to be the Switch 2 (or Pro), but the pandemic made them change plans.
The chip market went bananas, and it was impossible to produce some chips at volume and at competitive prices.
They probably decided to wait a bit, and evaluate alternatives and probably dedicate more time to R&D.
Whatever they do, as long as it is compatible with the Switch, I’ll be happy. It’s one of the best game libraries they’ve had in a long time.
The blue led was released in 1993. I remember reading an article in Wired magazine (back when magazines were published on paper) about the invention. Gladly, the article is still available online: https://www.wired.com/1995/03/blue-laser/
I talked with some friends about the “true boo-roo” led, and the phrase stuck with us (that’s why I still remember the article). At the time (almost 30 years ago) we had no idea how important the invention was, even when we realized that it allowed for rgb led light.
But we had no idea leds would be miniaturized to be used in screens and be as ubiquitous as they are today. Living through all this technology evolution has been quite the ride.
