Incredible game. If you ever get the chance I 10000% recommend playing it.


That’s probably why I saw it I’m my steam recs the other day then. So the publicity is working!


They gave out Wipeout and infamous for free out of that, I got a lot of play time out of those two games.


The Nintendo switch came out in early 2017, and it really wasn’t all that powerful then. It’s 8 years later, and it really shows. I don’t think they should make new games for the Switch. If developers have to consider the original Switch, the games will suffer. It had a good run, and a good library. But it’s time for the original switch to retire.


Basically.

So the Switch uses an Nvidia Tegra X1 chip to power it, which isn’t the only device nor the first that it was used for. The Nvidia Shield TV and Google Pixel C (tablet) used it too. On those devices holding down a certain button at boot would put it in a special mode that let it boot from code sent over USB.

The Switch simply did not have this button, but by shorting those pins you send the same signal.

This is a very low level hardware feature so Nintendo couldn’t ever patch it with an update. They had to make new hardware to fix it.

You need to bridge a few pins in the controller connector. There’s several ways to do that as shown in that link. Then you can upload jailbreak software from a PC.

I personally used aluminum foil successfully, then bought an actual jig later.


Sure but that’s far less convenient than early switches where you could use a bit of aluminum foil in the controller socket lol


You’ll probably want an early model then they usually have the most vulnerability


They’re only undercutting Valve cause they wish they could be the monopoly taking 30%

Don’t get me wrong I think 30% is bullshit, but it’s an industry thing not especially a Valve thing


They charge 30%, and only goes down after making $10 million in sales.

But Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft charge just as much.


Same reason Apple did, makes their devices feel cheap and shitty. Possibly losing return customers.


US providers can sometimes have pretty crazy discounts.

What I want to know is why can’t phone manufacturers stand up to these mobile providers? Apple doesn’t let carriers do this crap. You buy an iPhone from whatever carrier and it’s identical to retail (can be locked to a network, if you’re doing payments though even SIM locking is becoming less common)



Honestly I struggle to imagine how Steam could support it more.



That’s a great distro, used it for quite a while as someone who switches distros somewhat often




Not really? Conceptually maybe. But if you can install whatever OS you want and aren’t forced to use official distribution methods then that seems pretty PC to me



Factorio

Minecraft (how am I the only one to say this so far?)

For the third I’m not sure, but I’m thinking something more mindlessly endless like Tetris (though I’m not a big Tetris fan)


It did that for me on Windows 11, had to go back to 10 and it works fine. It’s literally the only thing I ever use Windows for.


Sure it could, but I think Apple makes so much on overcharging for the machine itself they don’t need to be so aggressive over data collection just logically.


Apple doesn’t require you to make an Apple ID to use a Mac lol


I’m pretty sure in game billboards with real ads has been done already

And like, in sporting games having ads where the real stadiums have them isn’t a huge deal to me as long as they don’t interrupt or put focus on them.

Though I’d prefer mock ads GTA style if you need ad space for realism purposes


I remember “Jailbreaking” mine and getting shell access and some things, not sure if there’s any like, custom ROMs that make it a better e-reader though. It’s been a while.


Wait Arms Race left? Seems like it would’ve been pretty simple to keep in.

I used to do Arms Race as a warmup for comp matches


I’ve had two Samsung phones, the Galaxy S2 (E4GT) and the Fold 3.

TouchWiz sucked ass. I pretty quickly moved to custom ROMs. Many years later I decided to return with the Fold3. OneUI is better but I still really dislike it. It’s a shame because the hardware is quite nice.

Samsung’s software doesn’t seem to be getting better.


I give it 2 months before they axe or further cripple old.reddit prior to IPO, should give Lemmy another wave of new users.


Post says they already use it and it’s a Nokia G21. According to GSM Arena it does have an FM antenna.



ES File Explorer, those were the peak days of the XDA rom and root scene


I used Apollo from the very first day it hit the App Store.

I started a Lemmy instance when they announced Apollo was going under, I hope Lemmy gets there too.




I’d still say laser is best for most, but if you do want/need inkjet, then that’s the way.


I’d need Blu-ray at least tbh.

But yeah lately I’ve been buying 4k Blu-rays for movie night


I like to think I have the general gist of how cars work and go together, even if I couldn’t literally get in one and replace some arbitrary part (other than tires/batteries/fluids) without a lot of guides.


I have an instance of WefWef just for my Lemmy instance. https://app.thelemmy.club

That way I can give my users WefWef without having to put any more load on their main server
