The point about Nintendo not having significantly larger sizes on games could be attributed to a few things:

• Their developers were sometimes exclusively making Nintendo games = more familiar with the hardware and how to use it effectively
• They were guaranteed to sell a few million copies of a game = they could afford to run the numbers on refactoring the games resources and asset logic to maximize cartridge size and still come up on top. With the scale of sales, this could cover a specialized developer exclusively optimizing techniques to save on that front
• Many third party studios run their games through some converter and fix what’s remaining, the result are turd sized and non-optimized executables. E.g.: see iOS and Android app and game install sizes.

More like, they’ve never been known to pass the savings to the consumer on the digital front. Some games were more expensive on the e shop than physical copies from time to time iirc.

Fully agree. I disabled the joycon motion controls on Zelda to be able to play it. I was not going to give Nintendo more money for another faulty replacement.

It is part of the reason I will not buy a switch 2. They evaporated the trust I had in them chasing profits by not acknowledging a very known problem.

It’s clear that it is lawyers and bean counters steering the company. The only thing they still have going for them is they delay games until they are acceptable, once that boat has sailed, you know it will be all downhill going forward.

I was about to say, I never got more than 3-4 on the one I own. You refreshed my memory. It also had an OLED screen on the updated hardware.

You don’t have to take my word on this, but when you have so many vulnerabilities, the foundation and knowledge about security practices by the developers is missing some key ingredients.

I use Jellyfin. I like jellyfin. I would like people to use jellyfin, but do it responsibly.

Citing backwards compatibility is not an acceptable answer either. If individual endpoints and/or protocols (web sockets) are being addressed as separate issues, then there is no overall filter for the most basic thing as checking if the user is authenticated, you know a potential attacker will look for more.

Will they target jellyfin instead of your average government website with a low budget and similar issues? Unlikely, but possible if the level of effort is low and can potentially create a large botnet, maybe?

You handle these with overall filters (or whatever they are called on c#) and white lists if something truly needs not to have it instead of reacting when someone reports it.

The simple fact that some of the code was sending api keys as GET parameters (which get logged cross every access log in the middleware on its way to the target server) and it didn’t raise any flags seems sufficient enough to suggest DO NOT expose jellyfin directly to the internet.

By then you would have racked up thousands of dollars in legal fees. Not to mention if anyone posts anything negative about the current administration you could be used as an example.

We already have students on visas being kidnapped off the streets, let’s stop pretending the law actually matters for the people in power.

Mint is pretty good, but I found the update center GUI app to always fail to update things like Firefox with some mirror error (regardless of whether you told it to use it or not). It happened for my old desktop (now my dad’s main computer), my LG laptop or used HP elitedesk G4. Using “sudo apt update” + “sudo apt upgrade” + Y (to confirm) on the command line was 10x easier and just worked. I do feel better/safe now that they use Linux for internet browsing instead of windows too.

Worse, they have been taking after the US and only allowing single family homes and car based infrastructure. They also elect idiots like Doug Ford.

Doug: “I feel so safe on this bike in the city of Toronto”. Also Doug: “my commute is extended a few minutes, fuck the people that actually live in the city, I’ll remove the bike lanes with fake data and by riling up other lazy fucks like myself so I can drive my car from the suburbs into the city quicker”

There is a whole channel “not just bikes” about non car based transportation and public spaces that commonly cites Canada as basically US 2.0 (from a guy that used to live in Canada before, and still has family there).

Bash does seem like a better fit for this kind of script since it is a lot more portable.

I.e.: It comes by default for many Linux distributions. For windows, a Git bash install will get you most utilities needed for large reliable scripts (grep, scp, find, sort, uniq, cat, tr, ls, etc.).

With that said, you should write it on whatever language you want, especially if it is for learning purposes, that’s where the fun comes from :)

Can’t be delayed if there is no release date (other than possible 2025). Luckily Nintendo does delay their games when needed.

Rick Bayless on YouTube has this method on a recent video. He adds a little salsa that can taste pretty good. Reminds me of the way we had it where I grew up.

Some phones only. Or at least that is how it used to be when I had one not too long ago. The boot loader had the be unlocked and some apps like banks or Google pay refused to work at the time (or maybe it was if you had root enabled).

Jesus Christ Marie, they're not rocks. They're minerals!!

Right, not sure why the steering wheel controls would even come into play. Android auto and Apple car play units from 2014 that I bought can directly accept the industry standard steering wheel controls cars use. I was able to use this stereo in a Honda from 06 and a Subaru from 2015. There are also wireless adapters for cars that didn’t have the feature from the factory. If it broke it was a conscious decision.

If you wait for the perfect solution, you likely will never get it. Similar to pedestrian friendly infrastructure and people’s expectations on day 1.

He wasn’t unlikable, but did also benefit from the Reddit and online hive mindset. It was impossible to criticize him since he was “on a noble mission to expand science/tech, eco friendly transport and rockets”.

I was also one of the people that thought he was interesting. Once you look back you see that there were small clues like people talking about him getting kicked out of PayPal for what seems like incompetence and what not. His PR team really did a great job of keeping him clean for a while there.

The quick 360 on policies does show that he is like any other CEO or executive, someone that will lie in your face to sell you something and line his pockets.

Edit: on retrospective he is like many career politicians, just more unhinged since he has a lot of nepo money to fall back into.

Poor guy just liked playing soccer, why would you eat him? :(

Don’t ignore them and move on. At least give them a private tag of “Russian shill” or similar so it is easy to identify and call them out next time so others don’t waste their time.

Cheaper plex subscription at the cost of healthcare and taking orders from a moron. Can’t say no to a great deal!

They do have some other similarities with Tesla though, like rapid expansion, market saturation and short term profits over quality.

Tesla also has the crazy market over valuation that needs a correction (more valuable than Toyota? LMAO).
