its harder to hire new devs if engine is built in house, because no one outside the company understands how to use said engine unless its open for the public to use. thats the biggest drawback of in house engines (other than the increased develepment life cycle to develop one)

its why for example, many 3rd party ports/remasters of old games use unity for example.

Using an inhouse engine makes sense only if you can retain a lot of talent. or have several projects that use it as a base.

cant wait till they get to the 3.0 mewtwo update

EU law that mandated all devices under 100W to adhere to the USB-PD protocol only passed a few years ago. Comparing it to the switch 1 is invalid because it was designed before the mandate existed. I made my statement with knowledge of the mandate

if you want to doubt nintendo didn’t follow it, nintendo is effectively illegally selling the switch 2

Center right and far right party join together, to create the right party

I have the mindset that I buy one for the lowest firmware, because nintendo always has people trying to hack it (successfully). Nintendo has very low investment in actually trying to get a proper OS engineer design their OS security. Youd basically have to go as far back as the fucking virtual boy to look for something non exploitable, and thats just because no one bothered with it.

it mandates it for charging, but i dont think the mandate technically applies for other functionality.

i wouldnt be surprised if as a device it charges normally with pd chargers.

if the only reason to buy your EV over competitors is almost solely on your brand recognition, then its a bad EV

especially since many companies are using the EV market to make a new brand image (especially the korean ones)

yes. ranked choice voting happened in alaska in 2020, and they tried but failed to repeal it in 2024.

although alaska isnt by means a left leaning state, the establishment does not like ranked choice voting

if you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.

of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.

last thing you want to feel is if you remembered to close the door or not and youre already far off

Ai pcs are actually being bought. most of the pcs being used for local AI purposes are fully rammed out mac mini/studios or strix halo desktops, which are almost solely sold by smaller oems and are backed up.

most AI pcs arent the ones the large oems clamour about (basically unused NPUs, and to a lesser extent, nvidia based computers with high vram gpus)

the latter doesnt offer the vram required for the people who want to do in house Ai.

Mehrunes Dagon will never know what hit him

wild ass condition. i wasnt aware there was an opposite to explosive diarrhea thats objectively worse

sorry thats already reserved by tuna

all for the power of selling the device at profit and not at a loss.

when currently last gen pc handheld like the lenovo legion go is being sold at 500$ and has both a higher fresh rate resolution and 20ms pixel response time conpared to the switch 2s 33ms.

social life is kinda fucked when you have night shift, you resort to somethign to pass the time

i have a coworker who worked at an airport, and while people who worked nightshift made more money, their increased chance of recreational drug use and lack of vitamin d from sunlight did not do wonders for their aging.

theres almost a 50/50 split between Palestinians under and over 18 so the number matches up if you killed indiscriminately

iirc its usually not a landfill but China has a lot of unused land, so there are places with just entire lots of EVs not being in use.

there was a chunk due to the rideshare boom https://www.carscoops.com/2023/08/the-real-story-behind-chinas-graveyards-of-abandoned-evs/

similar to the current story it all revolves around taking advantage of the government rebates for new evs

i reckon steam is lacking on this because steams basically the only client that natively has a steam client on all platforms officially. it doesnt see it as a problem because of that.
