  • Nintendo Switch 2 Comes With a Below-Average Display and Disappointing HDR Support, New In-Depth Analysis Reveals

    Jump

  • I'll be real, I love what Nintendo chose to do with HDR and I wish more companies would follow suit. I hate it when they make the content crazy bright. Tone mapping for SDR games on PC and Steam Deck is notoriously bad, with oranges getting blown out into vibrant reds instead (I love my steam deck but basically have to leave HDR off).

    Subtle but higher color accuracy/range was always HDR's selling point. I'm angry at Nintendo for a lot of things right now, but this is one thing they got right. High quality HDR LCD screen for high longevity and not overturning the colors to blind the hell out of you with "vibrancy."

  • Nintendo Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility issues update

  • I'm sure they have some kind of CI/CD pipeline that can run any game through a gamut of automated tests. They let it rip on a development switch or SDK that has access to the whole software repo and spit out the results in a CSV, with human investigation on games that flag negatively.

  • Why do push notifications work the way they do

  • How do you get it to do discord and other random apps?

  • As fans reject Switch 2 game-key cards, former Nintendo marketing leads say it's unlikely that physical games will ever "100% go away," because "they realize the importance of that"

  • You are thinking of the Bill of Materials cost, which is not the same as fab cost. Higher data densities absolutely do cost more to fab, and are upcharged to companies and individual consumers for profit. Nintendo has to pay more for higher density storage amounts and so do you.

  • If you have access to the actual files themselves you can even edit them with a text, binary, or hex editor depending on the format.

  • Been working on a #opensource GUI that allows you to connect to any #AI provider (even local like #ollama ) and have a unified chat history, characters, tools, documents etc.

  • Looking forward to seeing your work - it's always good to have competitors, and gpt4all is also very crashy. If you have a lead in stability, I'd definitely use yours over theirs.

    Some other areas you could probably look into if you want to differentiate are:

    • Getting Started experience - recommend some high quality models and update the list as time goes on. Maybe include a good default one as part of the package.
    • Convenience - include a way to do what the modern chat interfaces do where asking it to do something other than text will call a different AI model built for that purpose and return the result (image generation, etc)
    • Voice conversations - Can we actually talk to the dang thing?
    • Assistant module - piggybacking off of the last one, can we invoke it with a wake-word or a button press and have it "always available" (similar to HomeAssistant with a Whisper plugin, but on-device).

    Anyway, I wish you well in your endeavor and will keep an eye out.

    EDIT: looks like the conversational bits are on your roadmap, and you do have some basic suggestions on startup.

    As for voice, the OpenWhisper module might fit your project's theme a bit closer than elevenlabs.

  • What I am telling you is that while that sounds like an amazing idea in theory, in practice almost no stores offer it. How can we do that if its not even an option? I have literally never seen it done anywhere here or in any of the other places I've traveled to (I've been to about 5 different states this year alone).

  • Most stores dont let you take the hand scanner, and it would consume that kiosk the entire time you're shopping.

  • Do you actually audit open source projects you download?

    Jump

  • Its just whatever is built into copilot.

    You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like "outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here." and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.

  • I did this recently, scared the shit out of them and they quickly found a spot to turn off and park. I think they thought I was trying to do some kind of pit maneuver to get behind them or something, when I just wanted them off my ass.

  • That seems to be the direction the industry is headed in. GHAzDO and competitors all seem to be converging on using AI as a force-multiplier on top of the existing solutions, and it works surprisingly well.

  • Having actually worked with AI in this context alongside github/azure devops advanced security, I can tell you that this is wrong. As much as we hate AI, and as much as people like to (validly) point out issues with hallucinations, overall it's been very on-point.

  • Considering they have never done this with any of their previous consoles, and the fact that the original switch launched in March 2017, they have no excuse in terms of "being rushed."

  • Box64 takes care of the architecture, SteamOS is just well-packaged Arch Linux which has ARM distributions, and people have gotten Steam+games running on the Switch 1 under Ubuntu Switchroot. Nvidia open-ish source drivers exist for Linux and work more or less.

  • Yea but it's like... A week and a half away. This would have been interesting a year ago, but this could have been released on purpose by Nintendo and have little fanfare. At this point its a "get ready for how to use your new device" event.

  • Sorry, Mario, but the software is in a different architecture.

  • You might be thinking of Box64?
