  • It would be, if that were the case.

    This article is not alledging a systematic pattern of stick drift in the Switch 2, like there was with the Switch. It isn’t even saying that so much as a single case of stick drift has been found.

    What it’s saying is that the Switch 2 still uses potentiometers, a technology which can be susceptible to stick drift. You know, like every single other major console ever launched. So, as of now, we have no particular reason to believe that the Switch 2 will drift worse than the PS5 or any other system.

    That said, all the major players are dragging their feet a bit longer on Hall effect sticks a little bit longer than is warranted, Nintendo included.


  • You are asking for 1TB of RAM. Keying it to M.2 wouldn’t make it any cheaper or better than keying it to regular DDR5. I don’t think that even just a tenth of that would physically fit onto an NVMe drive, even if someone wanted it to.

    Put in that context, do you begin to see now why that isn’t a thing that exists?

    When you donate to a software project, you’re not giving money to some inanimate concept. You’re giving it to the developers, the “random people associated with it.”

    Kling’s actions are harmful, and contribute to an open source environment less welcoming to ~4 billion people. I don’t want to reward that. Unless you do, you would be better off putting your support elsewhere, too.

    It’s textbook misogyny.

    No, it is not.

    Yes, it is.

    It’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re a doctor. It’s sexist when you assume someone is a woman because they’re a nurse. And it’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re an OS developer.

    When you continue insisting that the OS developer be a man, even though it’s been clarified to you that they just as well may not be, that’s when your behavior crosses the line to misogynistic.

    It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down by insinuating they’re not welcome in your profession, and it’s not a “new convention” to fucking avoid doing that.








  • Oh great, another Putinbot spouting reams of misinformation.

    Trying to clean up the whole mess from your firehose of bullshit is a fool’s errand, but here are a couple counterpoints for the benefit of anyone not already familiar with the relevant history:

    1. The war in Ukraine was not “civil.” It was being waged by Russian troops acting as “separatists,” a disguise so thin that the only ones to buy it were on Russian state TV.

    2. Every single escalation in the conflict was by Russia, ever since the hostile takeover of Crimea.

    3. The military strength of Russia compared to NATO is so ridiculously lopsided that the only way Russia could possibly “win” is if they’re able to sabotage NATO from the inside, for instance by manipulating foreign elections enough to put a Russian puppet in charge.
