  If pre-orders ever made sense, it was when you still needed a physical cartridge or disc and the game wouldn’t get patches anyways. But those days are long gone.

  That’s also part of the reason why IQ scores are deeply flawed. Using a single number to measure intelligence implies there is an absolute order.

  Fun fact: Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicist of the 20th century and legendary physics educator (author of the Feynman Lectures), was invited to join Mensa after he won the Nobel Prize in physics. He declined however, because he didn’t meet the IQ score of 130 normally required by Mensa.

  And yet, despite having instant access to the Internet you write this utter bullshit. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

  But that’s kind of the point of the Turing test: a true AI with human level intelligence distinguishes itself by not being susceptible to probing or tricking it

  Then an ethically and sustainably built smart phone isn’t for you, because that won’t be possible at that price point. But that isn’t an issue as there is a sustainable option at that price point: buying second hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That one was a reissue of the original GameCube controller with the original connector and everything. It works on the original GameCube and Wii and with the USB adapter that was released with it, you can use it or any other GameCube controller on the WiiU, Switch and maybe even Switch 2.

  This new controller looks like a GameCube controller, but is something entirely new. It is a modern wireless controller that mimics the GameCube controller shape and button layout but won’t work on the original GameCube, at least not without some additional adapter hardware

  What exactly is your critique? Do you think news aggregator style social media is an issue in general or is there something that lemmy just doesn’t do good enough?

  I don’t get the point. Framework laptops are interesting because they are modular but for desktop PCs that’s the default. And Framework’s PCs are less modular than a standard PC because the RAM is soldered
