Bruh. You were being a prick about it long before he called you out on a being said prick. It’s why he called you a prick.

my man, my only experience with your comments is this very thread, and that’s all I need to know that your bans were justified. Your ban from this community is going to be justified too.

The problem is, who do you define as professionals? I’m a professional software engineer. I argue that there is no responsible way to use AI at the moment- it uses too many resources for a far too worthless result. Everything useful that an AI can do is currently better (and cheaper) to do another way, save perhaps live transcription.

Do you define Sam Altman as a professional? Because his guidance wants the entire world to give up 10% of the worldwide GDP to his company (yes, seriously!) He’s clearly touched in the head, or on drugs. Should we follow his advice?

The problem is that there’s basically no way to use it responsibly.

He explicitly states that no sensitive informarion gets used. If you believe that, then I have

… a bridge to sell you.

Don’t be naive.

No problem, thanks for being receptive!

Modern day breakers are better about failing safe than they used to be, but… still not an intended use, and all it takes it one bad roll of the dice and everyone gets to have a Bad Day. Hence me viewing them, much like you, as things Not To Mess With Unless Needed. :P

Just so you know, breakers are not on/off switches. Turning them on/off like that is awful for them, they degrade every time they’re tripped. The result of it is, best case, everything on the circuit eventually get destroyed because it’s doing weird shit to the electricity going through it because of a bad connection. Worst case scenario is that it can no longer trip when it should and your entire neighborhood burns down.

While that’s all a good question and thought provoking… unfortunately it’s literally just word of god that if Qui-Gon won, the light would win.

A common problem in Star Wars- the fans have put waaaay more thought and worldbuilding into it than Lucas ever did.

Canonically the actual gamble was qui-gon vs Darth maul. If qui-gon had lived, the universe would have been fine. But he lost, so it was doomed.

The force on star wars is weird, because if you’re strong enough in the force things are basically fated.

Anyway, that’s the long reason why the background music during that fight is called “The Duel of Fates”.

Just to jump in here, git submodules and similar are a terrible design pattern that needs killed, not expanded. Create a library properly and stop cutting corners that will bite you in the ass.

Three seperate companies wanting to do it the lazy, wrong way doesn’t suddenly make it a good idea.

No, we did not accept any of it. There’s been massive, colossal protests about it all in fact. We don’t like this, and we’ve been TRYING to get it to stop.

The problem is that both parties, the media, and big tech companies are doing everything they can to normalize this shit and pretend that the protests are small, have no momentum, can’t accomplish anything, and it’s already too late.

It’s not.

US citizens do not want this shit.

More to point, the idiots that voted for this while thinking it would happen are a very, very small minority.

And even then, it’s looking reaaaal likely that a significant amount of those votes for this shit were faked.

Don’t drink “soda” and shoot guns, you should damn well know better.

While that may be a valid observation, at the end of the day magnetic actuators don’t heat up like motors do, so it’s actually a pretty relevant difference.

It’s true- it’s well known that hall effect sensors are magnetically sensitive and do poorly in handhelds (like the steam deck, ROG ally, or joycons on a docked switch) for that exact reason- they can basically only be used in standalone controllers. More to the point, since the HD rumble is magnetically actuated, there’s even more interference than just the main system itself + the connector system. You CAN try to account for that interference, but why would you do that when…

Hall effect sensors actually have some major downsides- they have poorer centering, increased power draw, the aforementioned magnetic interference issues, the fact they don’t actually solve stick drift, and finally and most concerningly- they have a REALLY low poll rate. I was able to notice the difference when playing celeste with a buddy’s hall effect controllers, for example.

More to the point, gulikit is definitely engaging in some corporate double-speak here- the switch 2 joy cons use the same analog stick design… that basically every game company has used for decades. NOT the same sticks as the switch 1 joycons. They’re completely different, Nintendo went back to the ‘standard’ design instead of the ‘short’ design that caused the problem in the switch 1.

Probably entirely the former. Nintendo’s got a history of being overzealous with user health (cough constant game interuptions to tell you to take a break cough), and prolonged vibrations ARE bad for your hands (though I imagine no amount of game controller rumble could actually cause health issues), but the ‘motors overheating’ thing is entirely silly…

Because the rumble in the joycon2s don’t have a motor. There’s nothing to overheat, it’s a magnetically actuated disk weight. Like, it’s a whole thing they’re super proud about and have advertised, they can move the weight so precisely using the magnetic actuation that they don’t even have a speaker in the joycons, they literally just run the rumble faster so it acts like a speaker cone to make sounds/music with it. There’s actually a pretty cool demo for it in the switch 2 welcome tour.

Yeah.

There’s actual things Nnintendo could do better, but this weird smear campaign I’ve been seeing is just… weird.

People are inventing issues with nonexistent hardware components, claiming the gamechat button noise when pressed says a slur, claiming the joycon2s have the same stick drift issue solely because they aren’t hall effect sensors (despite nintendo outright stating they rebuilt the stick from the ground up for the joycon2, and the design nintendo is using for the new sticks being the same design literally every gaming company has been using for decades with no issues), claiming that switch 2 ports are going to be switch 1 carts with an upgrade code in them, etc etc.

Like… guys, focus on real problems to get attention to them in hopes of them getting fixed, not just made up bs.

I like how people are very sure Nintendo’s shipped a flawed product just based off some random article speculating that the rumble motor MAY overheat… Despite there not even being a motor in the rumble!

Good lord people, it uses a weight on a spring that’s magnetically actuated. Stop spreading dumb rumors.

My understanding is that if they’ve lasted at least a month and haven’t died on you, you probably got a “good” batch and what you have now will be what it stays as for the most part, but a fair number of gulikits just sort of crap out at the 1-2 mo mark.

So heads up on that.

Buddy says they were gulikit, yes (wasn’t my joycons). Tried them out on chapter 2 golden and some c sides. He liked them (didn’t play anything like Celeste) but had noticed the reduced battery, I could feel the reduced polling rates sometimes causing latency and throwing off timings.
