I'll preface all this by saying I'm not a native speaker of English, so my standards may be a bit lower than average.
Well the rallying support bit was a bit complicated. I also didn't understand what HMMV meant at first.
That whole thing about a red line confused me at first. I thought you meant the geographical front line of the conflict.
Also it's still not 100% clear to me what reaching a critical mass means in this context.
Generally speaking the sentences were a bit advanced and seemed to hedge on someone understanding military stuff and having a pretty extensive background on the conflict. I had to reread it attentively to understand, which is not what I'd generally expect of an ELI5 reply.
There's also that whole thing about foreign weapons and their suppliers having some degree of control over what Ukrainians do with them, which wasn't obvious to me.
These days Nintendo doesn't really try to compete on performance. The Wii, for instance, was unapologetically what it was. You played relatively low-poly, low-res, low-texture games on it, but you played them, because they were fun and imaginative.
That's their main thing. Performance comes, like, 4th.
However, this time, they got burned on their own games. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom had pretty obvious performance issues that even the normiest of normies could notice, for instance. And my memory is short but I think that wasn't the only first-party game where performance was a challenge.
I think this time they'll care about performance more than last time. It's not like they've never done it. The really old consoles from the 20th century were competitive on performance, right?
I like it. They could have easily cited the needs of a mobile console and wanting to dedicate every last cubic centimeter to cooling and battery as an excuse to make the next console digital only.
I really hope they fix this. When support for my old OnePlus 6 stopped, I was going to install a custom ROM until I realized bank apps, and most security-centered apps, wouldn't work. So I ran with an out-if-date, possibly vulnerable OS for a year until (probably) corrosion from liquid exposure finally did the phone in.
I've never really understood it. My Mom asks me to check her pool's temperature. "24 degrees"
And she's confused! "I have no idea what that means! Tell me in normal pool temperature"
But if I told her the outside temperature in Fahrenheit she'd be utterly confused, as would I. Only thing I know about Fahrenheit is that 30 is cold and 100 is very hot.
The pool thing is completely crazy.
I can understand the oven thing though. It's so hot that it might as well have nothing to do with other everyday temperatures. So if you get ovens and recipes from the United States, I can see why it wouldn't really be a problem. It's treated as basically just a power level.
Still I wish we all switched to Celsius. It just feels useful to me to know how far you are from the boiling point of water, for instance.
Want more craziness?
Construction materials, imperial.
People's weights, pounds, although most people understand kilos, they'll just internally think you're being a hipster if you make them convert in their head.
People's heights, generally feet. They're hard to convert back and forth to cm, so people are often confused when I use cm. Though on government ID it's cm.
Short distances? Mostly imperial, especially with older people, but sometimes metric.
Long distances? Hours by car. If you press it, people will use kilometers, but hours are absolutely the casual unit of distance.
Weight of things? Usually metric, but a pound of butter is a pound of butter.
Volumes? Metric, or metric-ified imperial units, like metric cups (250 ml), tablespoons (15 ml) and teaspoons (5 ml). Ounces only used for alcoholic drinks AFAIK. No one I know understands wtf a "15 ounce drink" means, even though restaurant chains sometimes use the measurement on their menus.
In Quebec in particular, pint and gallon have been completely denatured from volume units to container types. A pint is a small container, usually a carton, containing 1 or 2 liters. Usually only used for milk. Can also be a 1-litre plastic bag of milk. (Used to be a popular Canadian staple; now cartons are the more popular thing.) A gallon is a jug or jerrycan. People are aware they're supposed to be volume units but you rarely see them used as such.
I can see why they would want that. They may consider email to be inherently less safe than their platform, so they don't send any sensitive information there.
Canada's government stuff also generally works that way, except without any links.
I'm not sure how legit their concerns are, but it's a thing.
"Multiple nested menus to perform basic functions like equipping something"
Damn no need to roast Elden Ring alive like that! :D
