I like how there's so many fees on this console that we haven't even gotten to the $50 skype webcam accessory which they spent a solid third of their direct showing off.

I miss the DS era :/

EDIT:

I also want to point out this: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/reggie-had-to-fight-for-wii-sports-as-a-pack-in-and-miyamoto-wasnt-happy

Fils-Aimé pushed for the bundle, and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: "Nintendo does not give away precious content for free."

"Neither of you understands the challenges of creating software that people love to play. This is something we constantly push ourselves to do. We do not give away our software," Mr. Miyamoto stated.

It's ironic that with the success of Wii sports, Nintendo completely ignored the lesson.

People should see any of those videos of 3rd world countries repairing and refurbishing industrial technology on the street with their bare hands. I even remember someone commented that back in the days of the USSR, they used to salvage the solder off old and broken components too.

The sad thing is, many of these people end up with health issues due to lack of any protection or health standard, yet they also provide a superior service and product that you will never find in a first world country due to the industry opting to trash and buy new.

I've personally had to junk a radiator because the cheap plastic at the end broke, and no OEM actually sells the plastic part because it only comes as a whole assembly, even though you can easily delid the radiator to replace it if the subpart could be bought or made.

2025 and people are still treating X as a source of information.

youtube comments section has more reliability than what Twitter ever did

I said the same thing about the same type used on the 3DS but I guess for people who grew up on analog sticks, the flat design is not comfortable or lacks precision in some way, which is weird because I hate regular analog sticks because my thumbs never stay centered and I dislike the curve motion compared to the flat design which feels more akin to a mouse, which is what I primarily use on PC.

Bruh, uh... maybe OpenSUSE lol?

Checked and no they haven't lol.

I don't think this used to be an issue because I used to use desktop icon launchers in the past, which makes it weird that it somehow changed. I think maybe after the big new UI update?

OEM interoperability/functionality guarantee

The last big game dev holdouts will agree to target Linux if the PC userbase jumps significantly and Valve guarantees a standard expectation with technology with things like rolling kernel, latest libs, steam functionality, etc.

There's still a lot of stupidly annoying things that are missing like proper wayland (valve->frog) and its resultant features like HDR, VRR, etc.

The linux packaging problem from 20 years ago is still a problem (albeit much less) which Torvalds himself mentioned Valve would just say "screw it" and bypass/solve the problem via Steam (which they did). The issue is the remainder. Kernel updates are all over the place depending on distro. Everything Ubuntu is technically out of date because SteamOS uses Arch. Fedora gets you closer at least.

It's really just that OEM guarantee that would get it moving quicker. Although it might not even happen tbh, Valve said they weren't that interested in competing against Microsoft which makes sense because its still the primary OS of their customer base.

Not making fun of you but I can hear the WB fan typing away at his 90s computer about this lol

Gonna be a useless recommend, but try Fedora or Bazzite (Fedora Silverblue gaming with tweaks to make it easier).

I've had some friends with similar complaints about Mint having one off issues with hardware, which is usually because its downstream Ubuntu which means kernel support can be all over the place.

Fedora is probably best bang for buck in latest stable release without entering the realm of unstable rolling like Arch. Really the only thing I've found that it lacks is more varied support for ARM boards out of box and a cross compile package for ARM from x86.

By default it does have a slightly annoying repo setup because software that isn't FOSS ends up on RPMFusion which you have to enable as a user, which is why I suggest Bazzite, which also uses the immutable Linux design which makes it much easier to prevent from breaking or fixing by rolling back a change.

Don't worry, in a few years China will release some comparable and powerful RISC-V processors with some brand new in house fabs.

Although by that point it'll probably have 300% tariff, so probably stick to TSMC x86 and ARM anyway lol

Dependencies:

Old ass library version from 2004

apt/dnf/pacman: package not found

library package was last available 15 years ago before it was dropped to move to the next legacy version

App package was available right up until last year until it was dropped for development inactivity

Absolutely no one has a compiled version of old ass library

Attempting to compile old ass library results in 30 other old ass package dependencies

How in the actual world was the maintainer compiling this up to last year

First time ever I might actually consider paying for a pirate solution back like the R4 days because someone is actually gonna need the funding to make proper homebrew that will keep up with Nintendo's DRM, or sell mod chip services to keep up with Nintendo's DRM. Switch revisions and OLED aren't even software hackable, or at least no one has discovered any big unpatchable vulnerability like the launch Switch.

And no offense to the talented people who work on Switch hacking, but the CFW and homebrew is honestly pretty basic and lame because everyone has to keep constantly updating for firmware releases and dancing around Nintendo's own zombified BSD system to coax things just to work.

Suddenly all that crap about team xecutor goes out the window when they offer an OS better than Nintendo, even if their intention was just to make a dedicated hack launcher.

latest innovative mario kart.

This is literally the Cars videogame but with Nintetendo IP and Nintendo Proprietary TCP pos p2p online multiplayer.

I used to play that game for free with my friends at the local library 2 decades ago.

Pay to use hardware button that offers 10 FPS pre-skype era fidelity is totally a good thing to show off, and Nintendo has totally never been the only company to notoriously harass, litigate, and shutdown mods, tournaments, homebrew. emulators, fan projects, and literally anyone who so much as so glances at their Intellectual Property.

Utterly delusional

Meanwhile every Muslim country government bar Yemen: Nah, I don't really feel like it

Could be worse. Could be Pakistan ransoming every startup industry for IMF loans used exclusively for the Army's land development schemes lol.

Only place One of few places on Earth where cars consistentantly appreciate in value every month even with high mileage/usage because the supply chain is so utterly screwed.

Right seriously, I've even so many report it as "raids" which makes it sound like they have troops on the ground.

I don't know what the actual reasoning is but the 49/46% on Cambodia and Vietnam sounds an awful lot like how we still embargo Cuba like decades after failing to overthrow Castro.

Some beekeepers actually mentioned that they've been scraping the beeswax clean off their hives more frequently because its known that the beeswax collects pesticides and herbicides over time which affects the colony due to exposure.

The problem is its not just monsanto acid, there's a ton of other issues also correlated like weather/climate, seasonal flowering, untreated parasites, bacteria, etc.

We've literally nuked the environment so hard that even if we fix one problem, the population will not make a full bounce back (although I would think monsanto is the biggest threat)

Biggest scam of this century was corporate produce monoliths convincing people Organic was about health and not the fact that it doesn't use a scorched earth policy and scam one off hybrid plant seeds to grow food which has been setting us up for a widespread fammine for decades.

Some random superweed is gonna crossbreed with some rapid out of control growth plant and wipe out half of the food chain.
