I’m sure Nintendo intentionally throttles the Switch to improve battery life, preserve the integrity of the hardware, and provide a consistent experience. Not to defend their decision at all. I just think it’s funny how people tend to react to learning about how much the Switch is artificially held back, as if Nintendo is just being stupid about the potential of their own console. I think it’s very likely they did plenty of testing and concluded that the specs they targeted provided the best balance of positive overall user experience with the least amount of complications for developers. And it clearly worked because it’s one of the best selling consoles ever with a massive catalogue of titles. The small handful of power users who want a Switch 4K Pro are just destined to buy a Steam Deck anyway. Nintendo doesn’t want anything to do with that niche group of gamers lol.

Taki Udon demonstrates a Switch emulating a Switch running Minecraft with better performance than Minecraft just running on Switch stock firmware.

Seconding everything you said. Rocking a third party launcher and surprised at all the useful features. I don’t think I’d want to give up Routines if I were to ditch Samsung next phone.

Revanced and UBlock Origin still working for me on Android and Firefox respectively. As the new Chrome update launches and every Chromium based browser follows suit, I do wonder if Google will just straight up block Firefox in the near future. Eventually, I think Google will win this by breaking YouTube on everything except their own apps. Unfortunately, YouTube is kind of the only ubiquitous platform that could pull a disastrous move like that and remain on top.

Fuck, man. That looks amazing and it kind of turns the Jelly Star into what I always wanted; a fully functional phone with controller hardware, small enough to easily pocket the entire thing. I almost regret passing on this phone now.

The exact reason I opted not to get this phone. I kind of don’t understand why so many lesser known brands have such limited bands on their phones. Does it add that much to the cost?

I’ve been using Bixby more often lately, actually. Routines are pretty handy now that I’ve got a couple smart switches. I just tell my phone “goodnight” while I hold the power button and it turns off my lights, powers on my fan for white noise, and locks the screen and enters DND mode and battery saver for the next 8 hours. Not life changing, but I’m glad it’s there.

Shifting to Samsung after years of stock Android really surprised me. I’d never expect to be given that level of control by the biggest player in the game. If anything, I figured Samsung would be more locked down and Apple-like than its competition.

Relationships typically involve more than just sex.

Fuck that. Any military defending this country is gonna be serving the side I’m not on. More than happy to let someone else take it and try to run this shithole.

Miitomo was the best social media platform ever conceived. The world just wasn’t ready for it.

A little, yeah. But thank you for opening up about it.

The old name was a very poor excuse for people to say the N word who shouldn’t say the N word.

2 is clearly grass jelly and delicious.
