- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 3 weeks ago:
Because you need it to play them on Switch.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 3 weeks ago:
But everyone doesn’t, piracy is still rampant.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 3 weeks ago:
I mean, PC games are constantly pirated across the world, but Steam has done things right. Switch games somewhat, although the difficulty means it’s not that popular.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 3 weeks ago:
Because of physical media.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but that’s a different issue; I agree with that. Don’t forget that if you even are allowed to ‘buy’ them, they will close the online service for that platform in the future with no guarantee you can use it on another platform.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 3 weeks ago:
But you don’t have the sub (cheap when sharing a family pack) so you can’t play the N64 games anyway.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 3 weeks ago:
Right, but he sub is shareable and a pretty cheap barrier for entry… and required to play those GameCube games anyway.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 3 weeks ago:
So there will not be a way to play it when they eventually turn off their online service for the console. Uh huh. They were what we thought were the last bastions of protecting content/games, now… yeah, okay, they are just shooting themselves in the foot again and again here.

Was it? In Syria it seems pretty open.
- Comment on YSK, that on most smartphones, if you press the power button 5 (or more) times in quick succession, you can quickly call emergency services. 2 months ago:
Mine opened the camera the first time, then emergency call the second time.
- Comment on LG discontinues all UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray players 4 months ago:
I wish there were more/better/good choices for streaming video. We already have decent solutions for audio, games and books/audiobooks, yet video seems to be lagging behind, hugely.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 4 months ago:
Of course, it’s still murder, that’s why there is a judiciary. But, the system should also be better, and not allow people to be cheated out of their lives by profiteering goblins.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 months ago:
That is a pretty horrific thing. Policy is so far behind if that is allowed.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 months ago:
Oh that’s a point, probably not cheap though, maybe not good for home cinema? Not heard of Sceptre, will check out. I’m happy just not connecting my TV mind you.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 months ago:
I’m not sure they exist, but either way, just plug something in and don’t connect the TV itself to the internet.

God damn it

If they weren’t so focused on Europe/the Americas, sure.
- Comment on Spotify’s Plans For AI Generated Music, Podcasts, and Recommendations, According To Its Co-President, CTO, and CPO Gustav Söderström 5 months ago:
There is already AI music which people create and upload.
- Comment on Kemi Badenoch announced as new leader of Conservative Party 5 months ago:
Either was going to be a shit choice, because they are nasty nasty people. She’s worse, and will keep the Tories out of power for quite a while, so… thanks!
- Comment on How did Third World countries handle the Covid Pandemic? 5 months ago:
There’s a lot of guesswork here which could be avoided by not contributing the things you do not know.
There was a programme in place to provide vaccinations to developing countries, so they didn’t get left behind. Not all developing countries lack in hospitals or space, nor did it cost much to vaccinate when the doses were provided for free.
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 5 months ago:
Could be to heighten the importance, but they are not exactly the same thing, as one is directly genetic. You may see the term used when talking about kings and queens.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
It doesn’t come with one last I checked.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
Because we shouldn’t have to pay such prices to upgrade to a normal storage amount without dongles and external storage.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
Why didn’t they put the headphone port on the back…
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
I mean… It looks like the other Mac minis so… Okay.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
Aside from the pitiful SSD it seems good.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
The SSD size is silly though.
- Comment on Looks like a toy 'yota. 5 months ago:
Originally the company was called Toyoda.
- Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr? 5 months ago:
You can use your full name plus PhD at the end, that should make it easier for people to get the gender of the person, and looks better for those who are not medical doctors.
- Comment on What websites still feel like the old internet? 6 months ago:
Excellent example.
