While true, they tend not to bare the costs of the environmental damage, at least when these activities are poorly regulated.

But once you have it’s output, unless you already know enough to judge if it’s correct or not you have to fall back to doing all those things you used the AI to avoid in order to verify what it told you.

Aren’t you letting perfect be the enemy of good here? You are looking for a unicorn and likely will never find it.

They released the engines for the games minus 3rd party libraries they didn’t have rights to. Working builds were available within a day of the code being released as people found copies or wrote replacements for the missing code.

The switch itself implements the DRM and can play any official physical game without issue.

Nope, the game will work regardless of what Nintendo do, though you are right they can kick you off their online platform. That isn’t them deciding what happens with your physical copy though that is them deciding who can access their servers for what ever arbitrary reason they decide. In fact if they kick you off, the only games you’ll still be able to play are the physical ones.

Can I put second hand carts in my switch and play? Yes I can.

This isn’t strictly true because most games do still have a playable version on the disk. What is more is that it’s not as straight forward to revoke a disc, especially for passive media and the license is legally transferable due to doctrine of first sale as I understand it.

This feels like a tough one for betteridges law of headlines.

These kinds of figures are pointless without knowing the starting number of users, it could be an increase from 10 to like 30 or something… Also, this sudden rush of articles mentioning rednote seems more like an attempt to induce movement to it, but that could just be me being cynical.

All a NAS is is a separation of concerns, if you build a system who’s only job is to provide networked storage, then that system is a NAS. If you buy an off the shelf “NAS” and proceed to run a bunch of services on it, that is a home server, not a NAS. Build your own NAS and most of your concerns go away.

A baby doesn’t learn concepts by repeating words over and certainly knows what a mother is before it has any label or language to articulate the concept. The label gets associated with the concept later and is not purely by parroting and indeed excessive parroting normally indicates speech development issues.

You are talking about the boot loader, but even that is pretty standard. There could be hardware exploits in place, sure, but we are mostly talking about a very low margin product and the volume of data that you’d need to retrieve and process to sift out anything useful would be massive and obvious so in general I think this is mostly conspiracy level thinking. Any shenanigans is going to be done in small targeted batches if it’s done at all to try to infiltrate specific targets and reduce risk of some curious researcher or enthusiast accidentally stumbling across it and ruining it.

You might be right and in any case the new boss is better than the old boss right? Then again maybe this is just the honeymoon period which bluesky soaks up as many users as it can before the enshittification begins to start wringing profit out of the enterprise? Time will te if the hate is justified or just sour grapes.

I disagree with the “don’t ask stupid questions” any question you ask might be viewed as stupid by someone who knows the answer. Better to say “don’t ask questions you know are stupid”.

Got to wait until the network effects make it hard to get the momentum to go elsewhere before really turning the enshittification screws. Look at how much it’s taken to dent twitter significantly.

All of us are neandthal too, and decendants of various ancient celebrities as well as all the forgotten commoners.

This only tells you about your very recent ancestry, but go back enough generations are you are descended from everyone alive at the time who still has living decendants, just like everyone else.

When we’re they last sold though, eol 8 years after last up for sale is fine, but if they were still on sale up to last month that is a different issue.

Now all restaurants are taco bell.
