Apparently according to other comments a mouse only works in games, but not in Switch UI menus. The Joycon works as a mouse in both.
I would think a wireless mouse and a wired mouse are functionally the same as far as the device connected to it is concerned. The USB dongle of the wireless mouse handles the wireless part and then delivers the same type of signals to the PC/host device that a wired mouse would.
Yeah it’s definitely a different class of device. Did you see the mouse connected in any way, like as a controller, or did it just work in the right context (ie in game)?
I wonder if they did it out of some abundance of caution for security, out of fear that some 3rd party controller might find a way to hack the device.
Yeah, meanwhile the Joycon works in system UI, so you would think a regular mouse would also.
Per my own testing with a Logitech M650, I don’t think you can connect a mouse to the Switch 2.
Are you sure? I tried, expected a mouse pointer to appear on screen, but it didn’t. I used the same adapter I use to connect my mouse to my Android phone.
“Some spectrum bands are free of charge and available for anyone to use – such as the shared spectrum bands for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The interference that occurred on Wednesday was in one of these shared bands,” O’Grady said.
In other words, the ADF microwaved New Zealand for a bit.
NOoooooooo :(
lemm.ee has been hands down my favourite instance, it’s genuinely depressing that it’s going.
My toolkit only has a T25. Fortunately, from experience you can turn a T30 with a T25, if you’re careful.
It’s only just about functional and clunky as fuck. But if you want to get rid of WhatsApp from your device but still need to talk to someone in it then it’s a good shout.
Probably not. Back when the WhatsApp Pegasus vulnerability happened, there was a vector on iOS, but it was iMessages.
I don’t know any first hand details, but my suspicion is that the way WhatsApp on Android worked was via Facebook system apps bundled with the phone by the manufacturer. Back in the day, Facebook itself used to be a system app on some phones (making it difficult to remove), but gradually they moved away from that to having the Facebook or WhatsApp apps be the same as the one on Google Play, but there would be a separate system app that would be much harder to remove. I suspect this system app used various exploits for further data mining by Facebook (perhaps even gaining microphone access so they can present ads based on what you say?) and that the Pegasus hack got into WhatsApp, then simply called the system app to use its established exploits. One other thing that maybe points to this: the Pegasus hack would only sometimes be effective on Android phones, and researchers couldn’t pin down why. To me, that suggests some other app or configuration variation.
WhatsApp on iOS shouldn’t have this vector, as Apple control both software and hardware on their phones, hence why the strategy was to go for Apple apps directly (as they had the direct access to system level permissions, like I’m alleging Facebook sometimes had on Android).
Like I say, the exact workings of the hack are my own assumptions, and I understand that the WhatsApp Pegasus entry vector has been patched, but ultimately I don’t think Facebook/Meta or any of their apps are trustworthy and encourage people to remove them from their devices.
I torrent on my media PC and stream from there.
I think that Will Smith is pussy whipped by his wife and Scientology. I think she uses the church against him, with the threat that they will take his kids away and hide them from him. That’s the only explanation I have for his (slightly delayed) response with Chris Rock, and with Will being ok with his wife grooming their son’s underage friend and later having an open relationship with him on the side.
It baffles me that Trump thinks it’s a good idea to mess with the school that most lawyers come from.
Some videos from just before:
WhatsApp is the big one, that shit is a proven vulnerability. It was literally the vector for zero click access to Android devices in the Pegasus toolkit.
One way around it is to have a separate device for WhatsApp itself, then use WhatsApp4Web from F-Droid. It’s basically a web wrapper for the browser version of WhatsApp, but it does run somewhat independently of the main WhatsApp device (unlike eg Threema where the website won’t work unless the device has internet).
Nominally EU voltage is 230V, and may be 240V. In fact, it can be as high as 230V +10% = 253V. Higher voltage means more power for a given current, so nominally it’s 16A x 230V = 3.68kW, but you could have say 16A x 250V = 4.0kW.
If your sauna is 400V then it sounds like you’ll be 230V (400V / sqrt(3) = 230). But the voltage can also be 230V -6% = 216V, so 220V is within scope.
But yeah, standard voltages in the EU are either 230V/400V or 240V/415V. They’ve been harmogenised, but if you look at the numbers you’ll see the trick - 230V +10% is roughly the same as 240V +6%. So the range is 230V-6% and 240V+6%.
You’ve got a 3 phase connection though so you might find you’ve got different single phase breakers on different phases (eg lights on one phase, sockets on another), with slightly different voltages for each one.
If you read the article and between the lines a little, this was instigated by a Republican who actually supports trans people and believe they should get treatment, but was later silenced by the rest of his party.
Gov Cox is clearly having his arm twisted behind the scenes here. That doesn’t excuse him - at best he’s compromising his morals and putting his political position first - but I think it’s important to frame it accurately here rather than jump on a hate train and paint everyone with the same brush. Victory is had by winning people over to your side, not by making everyone an enemy.
Linktree is a social media site that gives you a simple web page with all your links to your actual social media sites. This way, you can provide one link to your fans, taking up less space in a profile, then fans can pick and choose to follow on whichever services they prefer.
Usually, it’ll be something like instagram, onlyfans, fansly; maybe some others like snapchat or kik. I think sometimes music artists use Linktree sites too, ie completely SFW, but primarily they exist for NSFW content creators.
I think it was on a podcast or something, but someone somewhere once said that people/aliens in the future might look back on our civilisation and assume so much about us from social media bots. They might think that we go around greeting each other going “Link in bio” like Vulcans say “Live long and prosper”.
Fair. That’s got me wondering, perhaps if you’re in a game with Joycon mouse support it might lock into mouse mode. One thing that annoys me about using a Joycon as a mouse is that you have to have it on a horizontal surface - I like using a mouse on all sorts of weird things and at different angles (eg curved sofa arms or my belly) and the Joycon doesn’t work for this in UI menus.
