Yeah, they're jerks who happen to produce good games from time to time and build consoles out of parts that are 4 years old at launch.
I believe Nintendo went after Switch emulators because the new Switch shares enough with the original to make it a cake walk to emulate Switch 2 games with better performance.
If someone who I considered a friend pulled that kind of stunt with me I would have one fewer friend. Screwing with people is rude and it's plain bully behavior when you know they're stressed and you mess around with a thing that is cruicial for them. You had fun at someone else's expense.
My guess is Switch 2 shares enough architecture with OG Switch that games for one run on the other. This is why Nintendo has been going after Switch emulators - they're already better than Switch 2 at being Switch 2.
In middle school we put on Romeo and Juliet and a few teachers thought it would be fun to show the movie she was in. They did not realize she was topless in it, which is how every boy in 7th grade saw boobs that day.
This was pre-ubiqutous internet, so boobs weren't easy to see. We talked about it like it was the coming of Christ.
You forgot the part where third parties talk about how smart Mulder is while he almost never demonstrates it on-the-ground and constantly gets things very wrong while being used by not-so-invisible puppeteers.
It's hard to understand why anyone gets up in arms with anyone online where there are ways to block and ignore people.
That being said, personal pronouns are an awkward thing linguistically. (Maybe they won't be in the future?) He. she and they are all pronouns recognized within English and have been for a long time. The farther you stray from those, the more likely you are to annoy people who have an idea of what language is in their heads. Those people could use a change of viewpoint of what language is - specifically that language is alive and changing - but transphobia might not be their real motivation. They're wrong, but not necessarily the morally bad kind of wrong.
Communications with commercially available drones are generally unencrypted and easily intercepted. Triangulation of the source of the controlling unit would be trivial.
You'd have to be looking for it while the drone was being operated, so you would have to either monitor all the time or be tipped off that someone was coming to get you. This isn't really a good deterrent to drone-based assassination.
Also, drones are trivial to build on your own these days. With a few months of extremely basic electronics education, a pile of off-the-shelf components and a little iteration you can have your own "ghost" drone that you can control via RF, cell towers from a modem you put onboard, bluetooth, line-of-sight-laser or whatever. The weapons on it are a different story, but people have been improvising ways to off each other forever. It's kind of what humans do best.
$30 a gram?!? I was paying $35 for 1/8ths of top shelf stuff in the rural western US in 2007. Then again, the rural west is where all the good stuff was grown pre-legalization.
Volts are not energy. Volts are a component of electrical energy. The drop in voltage is because of the additional load on the circuit that the charger represents. Energy losses come out as heat. If something gets hot while it's doing its job and its job is not to heat things it means that it's got a loss of energy somewhere. I'd bet that the charger warms up in use, and the loss is likely greater than the 1.75% loss that you were thinking you had with the voltage sag.
L1 charging is less efficient for a few reasons, but the biggest increase you get in efficiency from the L2+ charges is time. Triple the charge rate gets you full in an afternoon rather than overnight. But then you can parlay that into cost savings by timing your charge to off-peak times and charge up on cheaper electricity, if it is available in your area.
Electric cars do have an easily measurable range drop in cold weather for the reasons you outlined. Gas cars really shine in cold weather because not only do they not perform measurable worse in terms of range when the thermometer drips, but they also make their own heat, ALL THE TIME. In electric cars you have to use battery power to heat both the battery and the cabin, which is yet another drain on range. But, that gas combustion heat is loss in the summer when you're not using it. Like the waste from your charger, but this time it also comes with emissions.
