  • Nintendo: We announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well.

    Jump

  • I’m kinda expecting that it will just be a more powerful Switch. Maybe one day companies will be able to make games that are Switch 2 only but won’t be forced to. Kinda like how nobodies making PS5 exclusives yet.

  • Days after shutting its AAA game studio filled with former God of War and Overwatch talent, Netflix announces a "new initiative" powered by AI

    Jump

  • How exactly will this produce novel new ideas, AI is literally incapable of doing anything it hasn’t already been trained to do.

  • Mobile hotspot with VPN: is GL.iNet the only game in town and is it trustworthy?

    Jump

  • About to head off to work but I think Netgear make one, but it’s like 6-7x more expensive. And it’s probably made in China anyway.

  • Windows is actually pretty good OS

    Jump

  • It’s an Archer T3U, which uses a Realtek chipset. I was living in Africa at the time I bought it and you don’t get much choice when it comes to electronics. I heard of a guy who had to travel to Spain to get a USB mouse. Anyway, the problem is that I’m actually trying to install it on a Beaglebone Black which is stuck on the 5.10 LTS kernel. The chipset is actually supported in the latest kernel, but the BB version hasn’t been released yet.

    Kamala Harris predicted to win by nearly every major forecaster

    Jump

  • Not predicted to win by a reliable margin though, it could go either way. I did read that Harris is scoring better with the demographics that are more likely to vote though.

  • Woman Wants Landlord to Pay After Finding Cockroach Imbedded in Her Ear

    Jump

  • I’ve never even seen a cockroach in the UK, I didn’t realise they were a thing here.

  • Windows is actually pretty good OS

    Jump

  • I spent today trying to install a USB WiFi dongle in Debian. On Windows it took about 5 seconds, I still haven’t got it working on Debian.

  • Not pictured: a flat of eggs

  • TIL that in American liquorice is called licorice.

    Black liquorice is great, damn kids just want to eat a bowl of sugar nowadays.

  • Mobile hotspot with VPN: is GL.iNet the only game in town and is it trustworthy?

    Jump

  • There are others that aren’t Chinese but nothing anywhere near the price bracket you’ll get from GL.Inet. I wouldn’t trust them either, I’d just take the hit and lose the app. Since it’s OpenWRT I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an alternative to the apps. Flashing standard OpenWRT to them is really easy, you just download it from the site and flash through the firmware upgrade option, no dramas. Many VPNs will have instructions on how to set up their service on OpenWRT.

  • Anti-Fascist voting

    Jump

  • It’s because of this mentality that the US has this shitty two party system.

  • I don’t see why everyone hates this. It’s disabled by default and you don’t have to use it. I use Linux but thank god someone’s actually trying to make operating systems interesting again, nobody else has done anything interesting in years.

  • I don’t think I’ve ever had a kid come to the door without a costume, I’m not sure I’d even notice. But yeah, who knows why they haven’t got a costume, so I’d probably give them some.

  • Have you heard about Blue Screen syndrome?

    Jump

  • I mean, I use Linux but I’ve used a lot of Windows in the past. I don’t find either of them particularly more stable than the other. I had blue screens a few years ago on my laptop and that turned out to be faulty RAM. I haven’t had a Windows-caused BSOD in years. And all this talk of Windows suddenly starting an update while I’m using it, I’ve literally never had that happen.

  • How do I sort screws for reuse?

    Jump

  • I think you could lose your mind doing this. In my garage I have a few pots of various screws sorted by the material they’re made of.

    I keep entertaining the idea of sorting them by size, for example, one pot for M8 nuts, bolts, screws, etc. just because it’s obviously easy to tell the difference between a nut and a screw, but not easy to tell the difference between an M8 nut and an M10 nut.

    Most stuff just goes in the recycling though.

  • VPNs are banned in Russia to make sure they don’t accidentally get inaccurate information about the special military operation.

  • ‘You are not my king,’ Indigenous Australian senator yells at visiting King Charles

    Jump

  • It’s just a ceremonial thing, they don’t have any actual power. Plus it makes money for the country. There’s not really any reason to get rid of them and King Charles is always pushing anti-climate change stuff so he’s actually using his influence to try and help.

  • Actually loads of people do.

  • It took me ages to realise this. People with ADHD are always portrayed as lazy but they don’t struggle with hard work, they struggle with boring work. Before I knew I had ADHD I always found I was getting in trouble for not finishing boring work so I always used to prioritise tasks by how much fun they were and start with the most boring. I just ended up getting nothing done.
