- Comment on Nintendo refuses to repair water damaged Switch 2 console 6 days ago:
Isn’t this common? From what I know water damage isn’t covered under warranty by anyone.
It sounds like the water indicator stickers did not change color. But they said that water can still get in / water damage can occur regardless.
I also asked for a picture and they flatly refused that they don’t do that. – www.reddit.com/r/consolerepair/…/n1y1kga/

Russia Day is June 12th, though.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 2 weeks ago:
No, I meant that revolting against a government without an election system change is replacing one almost dictatorship with another.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 2 weeks ago:
First past the post voting system isn’t democratic and can easily be corrupted by Gerrymandering.

Deoccupied Ukraine. Very good.

- Comment on MAGA, please stand by until our grand TACO provides you with how to feel 4 weeks ago:
WW3 fear mongering is playing into the hands of weak aggressors.
Neither Iran nor Russia nor both at once have the capability to ignite WW3.

Pavel Durov had to flee Russia after resisting Putin’s influence on VK. That’s public information known to everyone who cares to spend a minute reading his Wikipedia article.

the EU needs a smartphone brand like…yesterday
Germans, get cooking!

Yes, they incentivize another 0.001%. How is google going to survive this?
Tech geeks acting as multiplication factors are the people who brought Apple from obscurity to mainstream.
- Comment on Rumour: Google intends to discontinue the Android Open Source Project – OSnews 5 weeks ago:
Maybe but those 1% of buyers are multiplicators incentivizing others to buy the same phone.
- Comment on Rumour: Google intends to discontinue the Android Open Source Project – OSnews 5 weeks ago:
Full AOSP compatibility for Pixel devices is a huge reason to buy a Pixel instead of a 3rd party OEM. They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

Which rights do you have?
Plenty. GOG sp. z o.o. is an EU company after all.
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 5 weeks ago:
Galaxy is free and not required.
It’s a product for paying customers of GOG games. You have rights you don’t have with some open source hobby project.
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 5 weeks ago:
So does Galaxy?
Heroic is a community “we hope it’s useful but don’t complain when it doesn’t” product.
With Galaxy you are a paying customer who has rights.

- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
It wasn’t “half the internet unusable”.
Everything behind the same AWS and Google IPs which is a lot.
I live in Russia
So you pay taxes to Putin. Good to know who actually helps funding the regime.
- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
Telegram is not banned in Ukraine either. There also are no Ukrainian sections against the founder.
I also did not call him a fighter against the regime. You have a vivid imagination.
Russia tried blocking Telegram once but Telegram relies on AWS and Google Cloud, so the blocking attempt backfired, leading to half the internet unusable in Russia, leading to quick back paddling by the Kremlin.
Since Telegram is not banned in either country, it’s the best source for unfiltered news from the front.
- Comment on Why doesn't Nvidia have more competition? 1 month ago:
Intel tried with OpenAPI because ROCm was not invented here.
- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
I‘m saying whatever the server asks the client, a client can choose to hide the UI elements. Nothing more, nothing less.
- Comment on Why doesn't Nvidia have more competition? 1 month ago:
Because its competitors care about Not Invented Here instead of building common industry standards.
- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
Grok UI elements and number of GIFs in the picker are 100% local features clients can choose to ignore.
- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
Definitively certain and I didn’t call anyone an angel, so no idea why bring such a thing up.
- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
They can’t force local UI elements via server. That’s impossible to do with forks who decide against following server side requests.
- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
Telegram founder fled Putin.

- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 1 month ago:
The beauty of open source is that there will be 3rd party clients that don’t care about all of that.

Anyone putting corporate technology into their bodies is just asking to get Black Mirror’ed.

- Comment on Switch 2 supports USB mouse controls, developer reveals 1 month ago:
It still doesn’t do anything to steer me toward a Switch 2 over a Steam Deck
Who’s claiming that giving away your Deck is a necessity?
