Did you try spelling it with phonetics?

No, they have the same form factor but they do have improved read speeds over Switch 1 cards. They’re not as fast as the internal memory or MicroSD express cards though. In Mario Kart, the card takes about 20% longer to load.

You can’t sell GKC after downloading of the game, as far as I understand the system.

Then you don’t understand it correctly. GKCs aren’t locked to an account. When you’re finished with the game you can sell it to someone else and they can download and play the game just fine (as long as the Switch 2 servers are still running). You won’t be able to play it anymore after you’ve sold the card though, as it needs to be inserted to start the game. Source

No explanation was given as to why they didn’t forgo the key card altogether and just release to the eshop only.

TBH compared to digital-only, having a GKC is still a preferrable option, as it can be sold when you’re done with the game.

I think a better option for cases like this would be a cartridge that contains the compressed game data which can be installed to the local storage, as is the case with the other consoles’ disks. But presumably the Switch 2’s OS doesn’t even have that capability right now.

No soldering is required. Just disconnecting and reconnecting some pretty tiny ribbon cables.

I’m not aware of any. IMO the best way to get this would probably be to mod some original joycons with hall effect sticks (quite easy to swap) and ergonomic grips.

No. You’re probably thinking of game key cards, which don’t actually contain the game, but not all Switch 2 games come on those. Cyberpunk is on a proper game cart, which does contain the full game.

Camera kit is an SDK for augmented reality face tracking. It’s probably a dependency for some AR feature on Samsung phones or an app you’ve installed that has AR features, maybe “AR Zone”?

I’m currently one week into a two week period where all of the CEOs and project managers of my company are simultaneously on vacation. It’s wonderful, just coding without being bothered.

I guess not everyone’s traffic is being deemed unusual/suspicious. There are many deciding factors that cloudflare could use to differentiate from “normal” traffic, such as location, browser, OS, VPN usage etc.

No, it’s the website you linked (yarn.co) that uses cloudflare protection (against bots, DDoS attacks etc). When it detects any traffic it deems unusual, it shows a captcha that the visitor needs to click before being able to view the image. It can’t display a captcha when you’ve embedded the image into a Lemmy post though, so the image just won’t load at all in that case.

Probably because of the cloudflare layer. It shows me a captcha when I click on the link to your image, so it makes sense that embedding wouldn’t work correctly.

To be honest I wasn’t aware GOG even had a Linux client!

It doesn’t. This is Heroic launcher, which is an unofficial launcher that can download games from EGS, GOG and Amazon. It does support Proton generally, not sure why it doesn’t in this case.

4chan (Moot?)

Moot has stepped down more than a decade ago. It’s now owned by the Japanese founder of 2channel.

I guess we’ll see how that goes, but with similar age verification laws currently being introduced across the US, it seems like it soon won’t make much of a difference.

Plenty of stuff like this or this or this

Again, those are all pushes for legislation. None of which are implemented at this point. The EU is, for better and for worse, a bureaucratic monster. Anything it does has to go through a long process involving multiple oversight comittees, the commission, the parliament etc. It really doesn’t have the option for much secrecy. National governments are quite a different story.

But those are all publicly available pieces of legislation. It’s quite a leap to go from that to just assuming they’ll secretly and illegally spy on you through public wifi networks, without any law allowing them to do so. Besides, if they have no problem doing that, why would internet through your European ISP be any safer?

I hope nobody will trust them with their data after this. Just leaving their databases open to the public is horrendous. Though I fully expect this kind of stuff to happen way more often over the next few years, with the rise of “vibe coding”.

Looks like mobile shovelware with a Pokemon skin. TPC has shockingly low quality standards for the biggest franchise on earth.

Somehow didn’t expect them to pick such a young actor for Link, even though it does correspond to Link’s age in many of the games.

I’m really curious to see more of this movie. I think Zelda is a really difficult series to adapt well.
