That’s illegal in most places. Votes are anonymous specifically on purpose. Numerous people have been threatened to vote certain ways in the past all over the world. If there is no record of you specifically voting a specific choice, you can’t be forced to vote a specific way. And you can’t be targeted after the fact for that vote.

No, that was just development on the promised No Man’s Sky-style recovery they were working on.

It improved a bit, and then the studio began working on an overhaul internally to provide what the game should have been, sort of No Man’s Sky style… but they were shutdown by Bioware.

There’s a lot of reasons it ended up the way it did, development hell and poor management mostly. Hell, the flight mechanic, which had been added and removed several times in development, was core to the released game, and easily the best part, apparently wasn’t even decided to be a necessary feature until Patrick Soderlund, former head of EA studios, was very disappointed in a demo BioWare had shown in early 2017 that the team decided to add flying back in.

One of the core pillars of the game was essentially added just to impress an executive and keep the development going versus being canceled. Flight like in the game requires the entire map and structure of the game world to be different. If you can fly,. you now need to take advantage of the vertical space, something that simply doesn’t even get considered in most games. A mountain you can climb is not the same as needing to fill in an entire mountain range and canyon region with content.

What do you mean? Nintendo decides what options are available for their console and how much they cost.

They could have made both card options cost the same. They could have more than just a 64GB option at different costs for larger or smaller games. They could have made it a requirement that the key carts are only able to be used if the game doesn’t fit on the options with storage.

There’s a lot of other options than just making the objectively inferior option significantly cheaper.

Except this time around it’s already looking like a minority of games are going to be on the carts. The blank key only cards are cheaper, so publishers are choosing solely because of that to maximize profits.

Previously on the original Switch the key carts were often games that didn’t fit the onboard space.

Banned consoles are getting returned and sold as used already to unsuspecting consumers.

It also brings other choices they’ve made this generation into question. Many games aren’t actually on the cartridges, they require downloading them to play even if you have a physical cartridge. If the device is banned, you cannot access the eShop to download anything.

A minority. And it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. The digital only carts are cheaper for publishers, so you know that’s what the majority will pick just because. The ones with the game on board also only come in a 64GB flavor (currently) so anything larger than that won’t fit and would require a digital cartridge.

Nintendo clearly wants to transition to digital only for some reason, even though they’re releasing some first party games on the carts still.

The current physical carts are only available in 64GB size, and the key only carts are a lot cheaper for the Switch 2. Which means higher profits for the publishers, so of course that’s what most of them are going with.

I don’t actually know if a banned console can still download and install games from a cart, haven’t looked into that specifically. Knowing Nintendo though, they wouldn’t give a shit about customers no longer able to play their purchased games. They don’t care about the customer after purchase in any regard and haven’t for years based on comments and actions they’ve taken.

That means you can’t use the eshop

Which is where the issue is. Banning from online play is justifiable, the issue is the rest.

Since most games aren’t even on the cartridges and are downloaded from the eShop even when you buy the physical copy.

Does that ban prevent you from getting game updates?

Does the ban prevent you from using the physical games you’ve purchased?

Because that’s where the issues are. Nintendo can ban the console from online play all they want, their decision of how the Switch 2 handles the actual games and installs means that it would turn the device effectively into a brick.

I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

Any backers if there are any, searching their name online to see about controversial decisions.

And then I default to replacing them. Most people vote to keep the status quo… I’d rather keep them on their toes.

Yeah it is clear as day here. Airflow is inadequate while the product is in use on hotter days.

Looks like a group of shady men wearing masks intended to hide their faces around an unmarked van threatening civilians with weapons to me. Call the police, maybe hyperbolize it a bit. Make them either abandon their spot or waste their time justifying their existence to the police instead of whatever bullshit they’re there to do.

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

People refer to vibration motors using that phrasing regardless of the actual technology used to achieve the vibration. No one gives a shit that Apple call theirs a Taptic Engine, or that it uses a linear resonant actuator as opposed to something like an offset spinning weight. It is a vibrate motor to 99% of people, even though it doesn’t technically have a motor.

Well of course. One handles money. Of course that’s the priority.

“Drones capable of surveillance”… That’s an understatement bordering on intentional disinformation.

They’re flying MQ-9 Reapers. You know, the newer big brother to the old MQ-1 Predator. 27 hour flight time, 3,850 lbs of munitions, capable of 240 knots and 50,000 foot flight ceiling.

You probably recognize them best as the ones we built to strap missiles to shoot at civilians in the middle east from the comfort of an office in Kansas.

And before someone tries to claim they’re not… Despite photographic evidence. Here is the CPB website page detailing their use of Reaper drones.

For random password dumps going through thousands of accounts it’s probably fine, but if you’re targeted for some reason and they get just a couple passwords. With even just 2 passwords, that system may be obvious already to someone looking to gain access to your accounts specifically.

Crazy, thought for sure it would fail testing.

Still wouldn’t trust it personally after a failed stick from a matched pair regardless of what the test says though.

(used to have 2, one died)

That would make me immediately look to the RAM as the possible source or corruption. If it used to be a matched pair and one stick died, the odds of the other being on its way out are MUCH higher than normal. I would never trust that matched stick.

Similar issues even with just 2 DIMMs with some XMP/EXPO profiles not working on AMD systems because of board/CPU limits. It should technically work, but for whatever reason it just can’t handle it and speeds need to be dropped or the timings loosened a bit even though the RMA itself is rated for that.

Not that the higher speeds are even necessary for 90% of users outside extreme overclocking. DDR5 6000 is basically where you reach diminishing returns anyway, and that’s often where that limit seems to appear.
