  • Thermosphère: EL2 EmuNAND support, i.e. backing up and using virtualized/redirected NAND images

    This is one of the components, which emulates your internal memory onto your SD card so you can basically sideload an entirely different Switch on your SD card. This means you can do whatever with that "entity" without messing with the system memory and files.

    In practice, this seems to be used to play online via system memory, and get on Nintendo's bad side through the SD card using EmuNAND

  • That's reassuring. At least partly, I think we both know Nintendo is a bully anyway

  • How well protected is this against any lawsuits? I imagine it's not illegal to create firmware but Nintendo might think differently. Do they have any leg to stand on?

  • Ah you got me fam, let me donate some more to Biden's election fund to make up for it

  • double v (often pronounced as double we) usually points towards somewhere near germany/holland/belgium

    As a Dutchie, we pronounce W as "Weigh" or "Way". No double nonsense.

  • Do we have a c/beetlejuicing?

  • Except in this case, they used AI to help them make decisions. The lawsuit is still ongoing so I shouldn't speak in definitive terms, but considering the circumstances and evidence I think it's pretty clear than they have tried to automate some processes and didn't audit them properly.

  • Company A raises prices because they are greedy bastards. Company B is then impressed with the sheer display of dominance by A and raises prices accordingly to "keep up".

    When there's a dozen manufacturers, they won't all do it. As I mentioned, this is price fixing and illegal in a lot of countries.

    Secondly, what's stopping someone from creating another company to undercut all of those greedy bastards to corner the market?

  • You know, at face value he's absolutely right. We shouldn't claim care that is unnecessary or maybe even harmful. But where we disagree is that I think that decision should be left to our medical professionals

  • Here's a good breakdown: https://econreview.studentorg.berkeley.edu/unboxing-universal-basic-income/

    As for my thoughts, yes there would be a noticeable impact at first, but UBI would help stabilise and strengthen the economy in the long term because purchasing power and demand will increase. If supply can keep up, prices won't go up. Companies can't just raise prices as that's called price fixing. Antitrust laws should be there to prevent that, but your mileage may vary depending on your country. That means that if some companies decide to raise prices because of more purchasing power, some smart company is going to charge less to gain more market share. So we're still doing capitalism, but there's a social safety net.

    Also, people will still go to work to find purpose. Except "work" in this case could mean the freedom and flexibility to contribute locally, or take higher risks like entrepreneurship or becoming an artist.

  • Arguments at the dinner table were solved by an exasperated FINE, I'll get up and get the encyclopedia just to prove you wrong

    Also, we had Encarta. It wasn't online, but on a CD-ROM so you could view it digitally compared to the dozens of hefty books

  • No thanks. I would also like to see news that I don't necessarily like, from sources I might not necessarily agree with.

  • It's a bad thing not because it's finite: your body makes hormones when it deems necessary. The issue is when you regularly have high levels of those hormones, it will cause effects like weight gain, fatigue and skin issues, to name a few.

    Your heightened sense is a temporary mode at the cost of other functions of your body. Going back to your analogy, hormones influence things like a bunch of presets on your motherboard. Your body cranked up the CPU because you didn't have enough sleep, but this will cost you in other areas like your immune system.

    Unlike a computer, we can't simply draw more energy from the wall to crank up the settings permanently. So these hormones/presets helps your body focus on what you need the most at that point, redistributing your available energy.

  • Your body is producing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to make it through the day. These hormones help with alertness in general.

  • Wait, you do by install size? What's the best game in the range 20-23GB, about what I have left on my SSD?

  • I remember "ordering" those silicon Wii condoms (they were freely distributed as a measure of people breaking shit, hurting other family members, etc because people wouldn't use the wrist straps), and was so proud of getting away with ordering 4 while I only had 3 Wiimotes. I really thought I stuck it to the big company :p

  • Looking at the evidence, I don't think there's even a brain in there
