They’ve had dumb vulnerabilities in every single console. Given this one is a refresh, it probably won’t have some huge unpatchable vuln, but there’s always something.


Almost like they base prices on actual financial accounting and not the feelings of gamers.

Of course any economist will tell you economics is part psychology and sociology because humans aren’t rational actors, but it evens out at these large scales, and they have to start somewhere.


From the article:

Though the livestream demonstrated the Joy-Con 2’s mouse function on flat surfaces, a press release shared by Nintendo to Business Wire confirms that sliding the Joy-Con 2 controllers over a pair of pants will also work.


You really, really want to play Switch 2 games soon

Or without having to learn to emulate. Or play coop/multiplayer with the joycons.


They’ve been doing that for decades now. Lots of PC games had a box and CD, but the only thing on it was a stub installer to run Steam. Or even if it had the full game, you’d have to download a giant day-one patch to fix all the bugs fixed between the image going gold and the actual release day.


A keyboard should work, type the passcode on the number pad.

Or https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy, it’ll hide the lock screen but just type the passcode and hit enter. This may require already having enabled adb debugging though.


You could put an external display on your tablet. Support is hit or miss, but possible.


If the data connection is solid, notifications should be almost instant (assuming a properly-written app using the Google push notification service). There are so many different things to check that I would probably just recommend checking for updates (unlikely for a 4a) and then factory reset.

Or just tell her to call you when it’s time sensitive. Or just yell down the hall.

Pretty sure it was just an excuse for the authors to play Halo, but skimming the study it still looks like valid science.


That feeling when hip surgery is next month



If I really need upscaling, I just let my monitor do it with bilinear scaling or whatever. No fancy hardware required.




They’re had some big advertising campaigns recently which makes me suspicious, but I don’t have any concrete complaints. I haven’t used them, though.



None of them should have asked you to accept risk, they should go right to the green page. Did any of them give more specific error messages?


Yeah that’s a security feature and it’s doing its job. If someone is trying to steal your Discord account, bypassing this error will give it to them.

Do you have anything like a VPN that does any kind of traffic manipulation? Some custom DNS server? Can you think of anything that might be different between your mobile and desktop connections that could cause this? Are you in a country/company/ISP that interferes with its citizens’ Internet access?

Edit: also, if you go to https://badssl.com/ and try some of the green ones, do they work or not? Especially HSTS


Uhh it should really not be doing that. What exactly is the error?




It looks like “attack and destroy the contents of religious sites such as the Itatehyouzu Shrine” means you can break the clutter scattered around the area, like a pot or a bench. You don’t deface the shrine itself. This is just twitter drama.


Seeing Lego just milking brands is pretty disappointing.


I barely noticed any change from 14. They changed the UI style slightly, especially in the settings menu, but nothing that really affects anything.



Like Whatsapp? I prefer to minimize the amount of data Facebook collects on me.


It is possible for the carrier to do it, though. Probably the OEM too, though I’ve been using Pixels for so long I don’t remember seeing it.


Yeah, the lighting was done for the regular lighting system. If you change that, you change how everything appears and basically have to redo all the lighting in the game.




New environments, new tricks, higher quality graphics, fixed bugs, runs on the current console (since backwards compatibility isn’t always a thing). Multiplayer, if Skate 3 didn’t have it already.



Yeah, I was thinking it controlled a vibrator, and now they support resuming where you left off in a compatible video (because yes, these are all real things).


Yeah. It literally stands for “manufacturer suggested retail price”. It’s the price at which they think you should be able to sell a reasonable volume based on the wholesale cost plus markup. But retailers can set their price higher or lower as they see fit.


Android is already open source. And third-party firmware runs just fine.


Oh so that explains it. I was able to restore the backup, and while it didn’t do anything the first time, I tried again yesterday and it looks like it worked. I’m still missing some days, but I don’t know if that’s because I actually didn’t go anywhere that day.
