Except no one expected the Wii U successor to be the same. The Nintendo switch leaks came years before the release, when it was still known under the codename “NX”, and they were 100% accurate

But SteamOS is also immutable 🤔

No, the app is completely open source and has reproducible builds. And the site you are accessing only gets the information it requested, and you see which information it requested in the app before scanning your ID

https://github.com/Governikus/AusweisApp

It uses the government ID, which has a built in NFC chip. You can use a phone in combination with your ID and it’s pin to verify your age online. The ID scanner app will tell you which parameters the website requests from your ID, and its possible to only request the birthdate.

I don’t like the system, but it is truly anonymous

If you are from Germany out of all places you should understand why one would get a device from a carrier. The price difference is insane and in Germany the devices don’t come with a Sim lock or carrier specific firmware

Well, if you want to go to the top of the chain it would really be Nvidias fault

It’s never been ok to pirate a console that is still on the market. Though, part of that is how rare it has been for emulation to be feasible for a current console

How old are you? Almost every single console has been emulated before it’s successor got released.

And even without emulators it has been possible to pirate games on most consoles during their lifetime, the Xbox One and Xbox Series being the only exceptions during the last 3 decades

The most important one, changing your DPI, wasn’t even mentioned in the article 🤦

Every single 3D Mario game has been a significant innovation over the previous one, except for Mario Galaxy 2

Just because the cartridge slot is compatible with old Switch games doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t use a different communication protocol for the new cartridges to prevent them from getting dumped

In fact, that is almost guaranteed to be the case, because otherwise the Switch 2 would be launching with a flashcard available for it on day 1.

It’s a cookie clicker type game that occasionally drops steam items that you can sell on the marketplace for real money. Most of the playtime comes from bots, not actual players, which is why it is so far up the charts

The whole thing is a scam basically

Yeah, the only caveat is that you don’t get an installer with steam, so if you copy the installed game onto a pc that doesn’t have all the correct dependencies installed (like the correct DirectX version for example), then the game won’t launch. But it’s not too complicated to install the dependencies manually

No

OK, how is this relevant here? Red dead redemption was developed for Xbox 360 and PS3, which are significantly less powerful than the Switch. And RDR runs at a much higher resolution on the switch

Same thing applies to Steam. You don’t need to use the Steam DRM if you don’t want to, it gets added by the developers/publishers. There are plenty of DRM-free games on Steam

At least with “Find my” I can just login anywhere and lock it.

Unless you use your phone for 2fa, which most people do

Yes, because the only people buying Nintendo Switch games are the ones who don’t care about the price in the first place. If you want to save money on switch games you just pirate them

Not as much as I care about DLSS

Japan is also one of the few countries where you aren’t assumed to be innocent until proven guilty. If you get arrested for a crime you have tl prove your innocence, which is why Japan has a conviction rate of over 99%

Add 150 for a decent CPU, 40 for 16 GB of memory. Another 80 for a Mainboard for a total of 180+150+40+80=450 USD

You could have at least spent 2 minutes looking up prices instead of making stuff up. A Ryzen 5600 is $110 and a compatible motherboard $50. That CPU outperforms the PS5 and Xbox Series X by a big margin

I’m just saying if you want a rig that outperforms a console, it will be in the 4-digits.

No, you don’t. Here is a list that I quickly threw together. It has a much better CPU and GPU than current gen consoles, and 1TB of SSD storage, for “only” $550

PCPartPicker Part List

No one forces you to spend a thousand dollars on a 4090. An RTX 3060 will outperform a PS5 by a big margin, and for under 200 bucks
