The dumb take is that this is a bad idea because you might damage the card. That’s silly because that’s just the trade off of portability.

Yes, and did you read wha ti said?.. I agree with what you just said. The positive of physical card is that you can lend them. I still think it’s a horrible product, and I’m afraid this will be the end of physical games.

That’s a really dumb take. That’s just the downside of physical media.

The real problem of this is just the same as the digital games. Once the Nintendo switch store inevitably goes offline like the Wii and 3DS, your key card becomes useless e-waste no matter how good you care for it.

If you think the average person understands watts, you live in a bubble, straight and simple. You have a very skewed notion of the average person.

How can you outlaw something a company in another conhtinent is doing? And specially when they are becoming better as disguising themselves as normal traffic? What will happen is that politicians will see this as another reason to push for everyone having their ID associated with their Internet traffic.

Guess some lighting things on fire is overdue.

“Why do we still need pride parades?” this is why

I really hope so because that means less wasting on R&D on a device that already works fine and will continue to work fine for years. Not everything needs a new masive upgrade and living on the bleeding edge.

I kinda wish they would not release a Deck 2 for a while and focus on just small iterations (new screen, new motherboard etc).

No publicity is bad publicity I guess?

I thought the same. And watching the second video it’s still impressive, but much more realistic.

Also, once solution to avoid having so many cables: the batteries last just enough for the promotional video.

That’s why I said around these parts. Back then there was a lot more regional fragmentation.

Around these parts in the 2000s, MSN Messenger was what literally everyone used. Then Microsoft bought Skype and decided to shut down MSN Messenger. Then they also ruined Skype. Microsoft just can’t do anything right despite making so much money. It’s like they have no long term vision.

I want to support tuxedo, as an European brand, but the last one I bought had such a shitty screen that got worse and worse over the years. They seem to have improved the hardware somewhat but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

Listen, if you think a BRICS currency won’t be controlled by oligarchs, you’re just fooling yourself. But at least there would be more oligarchs controlling things, not just a few Americans.

I think the best outcome of a BRICS currency is that, like in the Eurozone, a common currency nudges countries to cooperate more with each other instead of fight, and this can have a broader positive effect on other countries.

A bit better than having a one single currency dominating virtually all global trade, but only so slightly.

That’s the problem of thinking of companies as people. Company operate like ruthless people people they usually responde to several stakeholders that all control the company like an ouija board.

I like to say that corporations will never go out of their way to be charitable. There’s always a bottom line, being it PR or direct profit. Even PR and Marketing spend has to eventually lead to increase in profit.

This is almost certainly the case. I also know Airbnb hosts do that all the time.

What sort of advise are they giving? I’m out of the loop
