  • I once had a broken headlight and also broke pockets, so I grabbed some packing tape and made a new one. I was at an AutoZone and the guy looked at my car, looked at me and said “that won’t last past the first storm” to which my response was “it’s held up for three months. I’ll take my chances.” and it held up until the seals on the transmission blew out after driving it across the country again.

    As someone with a primarily physical Switch library and more than 100 Switch games, the Switch cartridges aren’t even satisfying to put in and harder to store or display than consoles of old.

    Even the 3DS just feels easier and more substantial. So, despite the Deck’s lack of a cartridge slot, I don’t even think the Deck really loses.

    Your ‘design courses properly’ loses all steam when you realize there has to be an intro level course to everything. Show me math that a computer can’t do but a human can. Show me a famous poem that doesn’t have pages of literary critique written about it. “Oh, if your course involves Shakespeare it’s obviously trash.”

    The “AI” is trained on human writing, of course it can find a C average answer to a question about a degree. A fucking degree doesn’t need to be based on cutting edge research - you need a standard to grade something on anyway. You don’t know things until you learn them and not everyone learns the same things at the same time. Of course an AI trained on all written works within… the Internet is going to be able to pass an intro level course. Or do we just start students with a capstone in theoretical physics?
