This could be revolutionary if it comes true.

The ecodesign requirements will include:

• resistance to accidental drops or scratches and protection from dust and water
• sufficiently durable batteries which can withstand at least 800 charge and discharge cycles while retaining at least 80% of their initial capacity
• rules on disassembly and repair, including obligations for producers to make critical spare parts available within 5-10 working days, and for 7 years after the end of sales of the product model on the EU market
• availability of operating system upgrades for longer periods (at least 5 years from the date of the end of placement on the market of the last unit of a product model)
• non-discriminatory access for professional repairers to any software or firmware needed for the replacement

The dumb take is that this is a bad idea because you might damage the card. That’s silly because that’s just the trade off of portability.

Yes, and did you read wha ti said?.. I agree with what you just said. The positive of physical card is that you can lend them. I still think it’s a horrible product, and I’m afraid this will be the end of physical games.

That’s a really dumb take. That’s just the downside of physical media.

The real problem of this is just the same as the digital games. Once the Nintendo switch store inevitably goes offline like the Wii and 3DS, your key card becomes useless e-waste no matter how good you care for it.

We’re living in the future.

Didn’t we have this 10 years ago?

Likely more than consoles which are usually sold at a loss.

You would not win in that case. Nintendo lost because their trademark does not apply to supermarkets. But if you made a game called super Mario, you would definitely lose.

I’m hoping someone else comes up with a better open source service

That’s what I don’t get. If they can make a phone that is thinner but lasts 2 days, why not double the battery and make it last 4??

Arguable, but I think they do both.

OK, so the comment above mine is misleading. The difference in resources would be small as my DE and Compositor use negligible resources.

Hm so SteamOS uses less resources that the steam app? I assumed SteamOS was just a streamlined way to run Steam?

What would be the advantage of installing it on a laptop? Can’t you just run steam on Ubuntu or whatever and use Big Picture mode?

Can’t remember ever having to share something to someone next to me. But sure.

Maybe, unless the AI pretends to suck.

An AI would play this better than any human.

That’s indeed a shame.

How are they making it more useless?

We know we’ve caused itch and the game developers financial losses, but be assured that we have contacted them to offer our biggest, most sincere apologies.

Fuck them. Time to sue.

If you’re still in 2024, you’re already behind. Get on with the times and start grinding. DM for a link to my weebinar and 5% discount on my eebook.

Oh no, but that’s illegal. Please don’t. - love, Nintendo

They made it just easy enough to be fun.

My current favourite is https://metazooa.com

Somes kids get digital allowances these days. I’m sure many parents prefer to track their children at every turn.

Depends what you mean be best. I choose FairPhone

Google had many little features over the years that just quietly disappeared.

They have lawyers on staff earning a salary, so stalling literally costs them no extra money.

Even so, you can’t win a legal battle against Nintendo that easily even with precedent. It will cost you money which you might not have…

“Material You” is the new design system on android where the theme adapts to you background. They are applying this new design system to the Android settings page.

Exactly and you can get better ones from other brands than the ones shipped with phones.

I mean, that direction is extremely lucrative, whereas AI is extremely expensive and totally unproven to be profitable.

Oh uau. How would I have remembered birthdays until now since 15 years ago?

And don’t forget the white text with close to zero contrast.

I’m so tired of this bubble settings crap. This seems like a step in the right direction.

I tried to like Kvaezitso, and I loved some of the features, but it’s too strict in others that I didn’t like. I want Lawnchair and Kvaezitso to make love and have a perfect baby.

Do you really hate to say it? I have a feeling you actually enjoy it s little.

This is so silly. Do people think hosting thousands of games and having thousands of users is cheap?

And how… is this supposed to help that?

Well, I gave one reason. If you don’t understand I don’t know what else to tell you. I don’t do it, not sure why you’re replying to me.
