Playing roms on a Switch means you're NOT emulating, that's the reason people jailbreak them. Plenty of Switch games run like crap on a Steam Deck, and the more demanding games are difficult to get running at all via emulation.

I'm not saying a jailbroken Switch is the best option, I'm just saying there are pros and cons. Honestly, I'd recommend OP get a cheap desktop PC with a budget GPU instead of a Steam Deck, unless they need it to be portable. It would perform better for emulation.

Ooooh you're right! Those fuckers

Wowwww that's especially insulting considering that everything from Humble used to be DRM-free. I have HUNDREDS of games in my Humble library from the golden years. But most of their stuff doesn't interest me nowadays.

Patreon?

Wow, Humble has really gone downhill after being acquired. Make sure you change the default split, they've made it harder to find! There's an "Adjust Donation" button where you can choose to put more of your money to charity, rather than Humble and the book publisher.

By default, they're only giving the EFF ninety cents of your $18 purchase. That's insulting. And they still have the gall to put up a "leaderboard" for people that paid extra, but probably only 5% of their money went to charity if they didn't think to change the split. What assholes.

This is suuuuuuuper common, most software makes you agree to some sort of arbitration clause. It doesn't mean that you can't sue them, it's just an obstacle to deter you.

They've had some security breaches, like most companies. If you're feeling paranoid, do some reading on nginx vulnerabilities.

Exposing your home servers to the Internet is always risky. There is no 100% safe way to do it.

Looks like it's not really designed to be self hosted yet. So, if you're self hosting, Immich is still probably the way.

but only for game servers

Why? I use tunnels for everything, all sorts of apps included. They're easy to set up, and reliable.

Tailscale is a good solution, though. I use that as well.

Okay. And until the government does something about it, a PHEV is an excellent choice.

Bullshit. Being able to eventually get somewhere doesn't mean the infrastructure is "there" unless your standard for "there" is low. Charging every 100-150 miles means a long trip will take literally hours longer. That is just unacceptable for most people. I've done the trip across Pennsylvania several times in a Tesla, and Pennsylvania actually has decent charger coverage. But my trip still took a solid HOUR longer than usual. And if I have to wait in line at a full Tesla charger, it'll add even more than an hour.

The fact that you, personally, are okay with driving slower doesn't mean everyone else is. And that argument doesn't even touch the fact that you're only saying the infrastructure is there for Teslas. What about all the other brands? Everyone in America has to buy a Tesla?

An EV would work if the infrastructure was there.

Right, but it's not yet. So a PHEV is a better option for most people (for now).

Oh my God this is hilarious.

SMS stands for SCHOOL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCE.

My dude, stop smoking weed and take some actual classes, maybe a debate class or something.

So, this article actually disagrees with you, it lends you no credibility at all. You said in another comment that you have evidence, I'd love to see it.

But I'll go ahead and warn you: if your evidence is just the existence of an SMS "advisor" chat bot, I'm going to be very rude and condescending, and continue to make fun of you, because that isn't evidence of anybody being "replaced".

Edit: for those following along, it's even dumber than I thought. OP saw "SMS" and assumed it meant texting, when it really stands for School of Molecular Science

Found out about what? That they haven't actually replaced any staff with chat bots? Because that's what this article says.

Did you just give us a fucking screenshot of an article headline instead of linking an actual article? (Edit 2: OP has now edited the post and added the link, thanks for that I guess.)

Edit: AND you gave it a misleading title? Jesus Christ, this is the peak of low effort bullshit.

Here's the article, in case anyone wants to actually learn something instead of just reading a headline and commenting something edgy: https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/18/24043017/openai-arizona-state-university-asu-chatgpt

Here's what it actually says:

The university will begin taking project submissions from faculty and students on where to use ChatGPT beginning in February. ... There may even be room for chatbots to act as personalized tutors for ASU students, said Jones.

Literally doesn't say a single word about "replacing advisors or educators".

No. It all depends on how you drive it. If you just drive a PHEV around town and do the occasional road trip (which is how most people drive) then the ICE engine sees very little wear and requires very little service.

If you're doing constant road trips and burning up the road, a PHEV is not for you. And neither is an EV, honestly.

PHEV is not the same as a common hybrid. It's literally in the name.

General Motors is thinking about bringing back plug-in hybrids

GREAT! Ditching PHEV's was a stupid idea, we don't have the charging infrastructure for most people to buy EV's moving forward. We need an interim solution, and PHEV's work great. They use a LOT less gas for most people (depending on driving habits) but you have the fuel tank in case you're on a long road trip, or in a charging desert.

Have y'all seen the new Prius Prime? It starts at $33k, it actually looks kinda cool (subjectively), and it's FAST (objectively). We need more cars like that.

Not.
