It’s at the point where it requires enough equipment and skill that I’d recommend just going to a shop for newcomers. But it’s easy enough that you don’t need really need an expensive microscope or rework station so for people who already have some experience under their belt it’s doable as long as they practice on junk boards down to 0201 sized components.

The switch is underpowered for a lot of things but if it’s having trouble with Disco Elysium that’s probably more of a knock on whichever studio handled the port.

V1 switch just needs a jig, simple. V2 switch picofly is affordable and accessible to diy with some soldering skills. With the OLED models they put one of the points underneath a BGA chip making that more difficult.

But getting one installed from an actual shop will still only cost the price of a Nintendo game or two.

We have, she wasn’t into it. She didn’t grow up gaming so she has a couple mobile time waster games and then just overcooked is the one we replay all the time…I’m worn out on overcooked but she loves it.

Well deserved. My wife doesn’t game but still had fun with it. This and overcooked are the only ones that have really worked for her.

I have no idea why he went back. I get that it takes balls to become a martyr but this one just felt like he could have made more of a difference being a vocal dissident living abroad. Maybe he had more faith that his imprisonment would start a movement for change in Russia but it went exactly how everyone expected it would.

A company “accusing” someone of piracy isn’t proof. Access to the internet is almost essential these days. If you can prove a person is pirating prosecute them under the law with fines or even incarceration if warranted. But stripping internet access from someone shouldn’t be seen as an acceptable punishment for a free citizen anyway.

Whoever owns the network attached to the IP address also shouldn’t be responsible for actions of every user. Let’s ban an entire company, college, or government institution from the internet because an IP showed up on a list… dumb ruling.

Poor LGR, first the Sims 4 and now this.

Cool. I force a no-psn-requirement for games that I buy.

Again I’m in favor of choosing browsers on install, but lots of Chrome installs on Windows is not the same as being the default.

So much so that you even get this annoying popup from Edge when you try to download Chrome with Edge - which should be against the rules imo.

I agree with going after the Edge Lords and making things more fair…but I’m guessing Chrome is the most used we browser by a long shot even on windows so the “No platform independent browser can aspire to match Edge’s unparalleled distribution advantage on Windows." part feels like users are comfortable stepping over Edge’s corpse to download chrome anyway.

It’s life changing when you start to rtfm.

Mods could just make a filter to remove everything new anyway. The concept of mods being unpaid volunteers means they get to fuck with reddit if they really want. They already had that issue with some subs just starting to allow porn during the first api protest. Sure reddit can just churn through to newer friendlier mods like the first time but they’re not going to be able to crush all the dissent and drama from moves like that.

But actually I think reddit has a bigger problem than protests. They tweaked their algorithm recently and it is going the way of facebook now, I’ve been getting 0 upvote day-old posts shown to me. They’re probably getting more engagement but I don’t think redditors are going to put up with that level of enshittification as easily as other social media where people are locked in by friends and followers.

You had me in the first half, ngl

I’m so glad I quit consoles. Now I’m just rooting for steam to get every game running perfectly in linux so we don’t have to deal with Windows either.

Some of us like linux and want to deal with it…

No, most of this is untrue. Ex Presidents can refuse secret service detail. They are allowed to drive on public roads - that is a secret service rule that they can’t but it’s not against the law and Presidents don’t have to follow those rules. And they are allowed to live outside the US if a host country allows them.

Keep making life shitty and it will happen all on its own anyway. Hell making it a law might Streisand Effect it.

Here’s this one cool hack they don’t want you to know about. Governments hate it!

That 11x election cycles with at least one of three last names on the ballot is only a record tie.

We had John Adams x4, George Clinton x2, DeWitt Clinton x1, James Monroe x2, John Quincy Adams x2 also a total of 11x.

Roosevelts were on the ballot 8x election cycles but the gap years screwed them. And they were close to uniting with the Nixon 5x streak also with some gaps. And then after one cycle right into the Bush Sr streak. If things shook out just a bit different there was a 19x streak in the cards.
