It’s on the FAQ about the Switch 2 battery revisions, under “What does that mean for Nintendo Switch consoles in Europe?”. From what I’ve read, it’s about the production date. After February 2027, all newly made devices need to have replaceable batteries, but remaining stock can still be sold.

I think laws could be used to put some stronger responsibilities on the parents. Unfortunately, some of them don’t care whether their children are on social media or what they do on there at all. So when something happens to a child who was too young to join social media, parents would bear some responsibility for that. Guidance is great, but not everyone will take that offer. I’m not in favor of abolishing the minimum drinking age (which is 14 here btw) either.

Notably none of the questions they asked were about age verification though. I support a minimum age for social media too, but I don’t support age verification measures.

Saw the full video on reddit. It’s from the perspective of a motorcyclist who gets harassed by a large group of youths swarming him and this kid in particular was extremely aggressive and tried to attack him, so he chucks him into the rice field. Without that context, it definitely looks pretty bad…

Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the License you must retain the original Product logo when distributing the program. Pursuant to Section 7(e) we decline to grant you any rights under trademark law for use of our trademarks.

Am I understanding this correctly that you can’t remove the logo, but you also aren’t allowed to use it as it’s their trademark? So creating a legal fork is essentially impossible?

In many games it does, but I’m not sure this comparison is a good example of that, as it shows persistent CPU stutter on Linux. With those spikes, Windows would be the smoother experience even if the average frametimes are slightly better on Linux.

Also, I think Star Fox would make a good single player, third-person shooter.

Star Fox Assault was pretty much that. Definitely something they should revisit (but hopefully not just as another remake).

Absolutely. Not buying from China is an impossible task for electronics anyway and I’d welcome some competition in the memory market.

Pretty sure this thing was 11+ years earlier.

ChatGPT can’t just access everyone’s prompts, nor can it run statistical analysis over it, so that’s pretty much just a hallucination.

The original Steam Controller and Steam Link went on sale for about 5€ each just before they were phased out. OG Steam Deck also had some smaller discounts.

My guess would be like 600 or so for the base model.

It’s hard to say, but at least before the component shortages, I would have expected the Frame to be the more expensive device. After all, it has 2 included controllers, displays, batteries, tracking cameras etc. But maybe the lower memory and storage (if you go for the 256GB) along with its mobile SoC might help reduce the effects of the component crisis somewhat. I don’t expect it to be below 1k€ though, personally.

It’s obviously not Valve’s fault but man, that’s expensive. Wasn’t planning on getting one anyway, but it certainly makes me worried about what the Frame may cost.

Anyone here planning on getting one? I do wonder how much of a market there is for it at this price.

You need some sort of streaming if you want to play Split-Screen over the Internet. I guess you could use Steam’s Remote Play Together feature with an emulator (I believe there are ways to enable that for non-steam games).

Facial recognition goes beyond face tracking, by running an algorithm that identifies an individual by their facial features. It can use face tracking as one of its base technologies, yes, but not with the same goal and it generally needs different and more detailed data points than the simple face tracking you’d use for an AR feature like this one.

I’m sorry, but I’m really not sure what you’re trying to say with Andross, nor have you explained the connection to the Virtual Boy. Are you trying to spin some great conspiracy where Nintendo is monitoring us via facial recognition and has somehow been doing that since the 90s?

That’s not facial recognition, it’s face tracking. And it is a chat feature. What exactly is supposed to be the problem here? Also I’m not sure why you linked the Virtual Boy, which didn’t have a camera, face tracking or even a chat.

Doesn’t have a shit QC (8bitdo’s are apparently like that)

Can’t confirm. I own 3 controllers, a keyboard, a numpad and a mouse by 8bitdo. None of them have any hardware issues. Only issue is that the software is meh and Windows/Mac-only. But it’s a plug-and-play controller, so you really don’t need the software unless you want to do stuff like define macros (which you can just use Steam input for).

FreeCAD. It’s janky, absolutely, but it’s quite powerful once you get used to it. Improved a lot with the latest major update as well.

I also tried OpenSCAD for a bit. As someone with a programming background, I really like the principle of how it works. But ultimately, I found it way too limiting.

Do you use a configuration that mixes gamepad with mouse or keyboard input, like “Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad” or something like that? Some games can’t handle those configurations, causing some strange behaviours.
