One of the most popular video games of all time, especially among children.

Well, except for all the Switch 2 exclusives like Mario Kart World and the new Kirby Air Ride.

Although, to be fair, there are still a good number of first-party games still releasing on both systems.

All we can hope for is that the AI bubble bursts very suddenly, and the manufacturers/distributors are left with a huge amount of excess stock and production capacity that will oversaturate the market.

DDR4 RAM prices did drop back down after a huge peak in 2018 caused by smartphones, although this is a much larger scale issue so who knows how it’ll play out.

Cause it is. Em-dash in the title and words that are bold for no reason? Clear signs the post was made with an LLM.

Every physical therapist I’ve been to has said that stretching cold muscles is actually more likely to injure you than doing some light cardio to warm up before stretching.

No, it’s not forbidden. No idea what that commenter is talking about.

ConcernedApe has been very supportive of modding Stardew Valley, so I don’t see why this game would be different

I mean, what are they gonna do? Mess with the atomic clocks and throw off everyone’s ability to geolocate? Probably not, since then everyone would just move to the still-accurate signals from the European and Chinese equivalents.

…or do you just not understand how GPS works?

Did you just call Ars Technica an “internet rot site”?

Good way to make it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about.

They don’t have a monopoly. Full stop. Just off the top of my head, we have Epic Games Store, GOG, and Itch.io, which may not be as popular as Steam, but are absolutely viable alternatives if Steam ever goes completely to shit.

A real monopoly is like how, in my city in the US, there is exactly ONE company you can buy electricity and gas from. It’s a subsidiary of Avangrid, which is a Swedish corporation, not even on the same continent. They’ve been doing incredibly fucky shit with billing customers for years now and they have the mayor in their pocket, so if you want electricity, you have no choice other than to pay up. There are no alternatives unless you have the money to pay up front for a full off-grid solar install.

Wanna provide any examples of that happening anywhere at any appreciable scale?

I’ve only been told to turn T-shirts or garments with dangling bits inside out, so that the friction of rubbing against the other clothes doesn’t wear off the print.

I don’t really see how turning stuff like hoodies inside out would affect anything, apart from maybe preventing the button/zipper from clanking around in the dryer (which admittedly IS very obnoxious)

That “jackass” sounds like an AI training set scraper. They’re known for being incredibly brutal to the sites they scrape, ignoring robots.txt and other honor-based systems for preventing the site from getting overloaded.

Using a few anti-static bags inside one another doesn’t block 100% of signals but it cuts range down by a lot. But also, if you’re looking for this high of a security level, wouldn’t it be easier to just find a phone with a removable battery?

It’s not an app this time. At least on the Switch, things like micro transactions and in-game ads aren’t a thing

Yeah, I think their point is that if China suddenly threatened to cut off all trade with the US, we would be screwed because we no longer have the means to produce everything we need as a nation.

I don’t think it’s unspecified, it’s to keep weeds away. Using weed killing chemicals to kill off any plants in your field apart from the specially-weed-killer-resistant crops is super common in agriculture, and is terrible for the environment.

You seem to be against the idea of growing rice in flooded fields, can I ask why? It’s not like this is in some places like California that’s in constant drought.

If you’re only going to use it from within your own LAN, then no, you don’t need a static public address

I mean, as far as I know, DNS is decentralized. Anyone can host their own DNS server, or change which server their network/device uses. Google’s is just very commonly used because 8.8.8.8 is easy to remember, but there are thousands of others run by entities big and small, and there’s nothing stopping you from running your own (assuming you manage to get a hold of a static IPv4)

Not sure where you’re located, but at least in the USA it’s definitely illegal for an employer to discriminate against a medical diagnosis like that. They aren’t even allowed to ask you private medical questions during the hiring process.
