Because they don’t work as phones, at least not for practical use

No one has cracked it yet, some projects seem to be getting close, but the radio in a phone is a very complicated and poorly documented black box

And if you agree to their new terms of service (there’s only an accept button when you open the site), you agree it’s not discord’s fault!

Such innovation.

McDonald’s is the most clear cut example, although that’s ongoing

There’s been countless little companies that sent themselves into death spirals with a price hike, but when they’re big their remains are pounced on, or they experience a slow decline before collapsing to a failed pivot

There’s no digital ID in my system, there’s digital disclaimers and parental locks on the devices

The way we’re going now is digital IDs, they would try to throw it in regardless, but under my plan there’s no place where it could come into play

You could go further than that… Mandate that all new devices and app stores must have a parental lockout available out of the box

Then when you get your kid a phone or computer, you just set up the permissions. This already exists to a large extent, this would just standardize it all to turn it into a usable system

If they were serious about protecting children, they would have a device level lock and force web pages and apps to positively affirm they are “safe” for minors

That would work, this clearly won’t. This is just censorship, you can’t sanitize the Internet, you can only carve out walled gardens

Fair enough, we can’t all know everything after all. I pride myself on turning on a dime when I learn things in my blind spot, and I respect you for it too

I mean it wasn’t frequent, but it was candid. They periodically gave updates, demos at events, etc. They definitely were not radio silent

They just never confirmed a release date, they just said it’d be done when it’s done. Until this year, then they said fall, then 2 weeks ago they gave a solid date

Ah yeah they finished up a couple weeks ago and gave a hard date, but it’s been listed as fall 2025 since around whenever Nintendo announced the switch 2

Shadow dropped?? I’ve been looking forward to it since like… February?, when we got real confirmation. We’ve been tracking this for years

But I do appreciate you appreciating our day. It doesn’t have to be your thing, but it’s very cool of you to cheer us on. Today has been a big win for a lot of people, and I invite you to celebrate this as a win for gaming in general

That’s how it always was. In fact, you can run away from a lot of boss battles this timeIf you want “I have a family” mode?

Grind though it a few minutes at a time and build your skills. Otherwise, this game just isn’t for you, watch a playthrough

Yeah… It won’t help you. You’re Hornet, not the Hollow Knight. The controls might be the same, but the skills don’t transfer

I replayed the original too, it was enjoyable, but easy after completing the path of pain years ago.

I’m getting my ass kicked in Silksong, and it’s great

You could mount it on top or vertically behind the rack and have it still look decent and be functional with a little handiwork

You still are going to need a router, although you don’t need a fancy router and a fancy switch, you just have to make sure you’re not bottlenecked and have to design things differently

2.5 gb is probably more than enough, but you could probably get away with 1 gb if you aren’t doing a lot of file transfers - if it’s just backups and streaming video, if you want to get fancy it might become a bottleneck.

PoE is kinda niche so unless you have specific plans to use it, it probably won’t come up

The switch supports vlans, so you could get fancy with a VPN gateway and access these things remotely with a Virtual DMZ, but realistically that’s a bitch to set up and you could just make a real DMZ with a router/wifi access point combo. Or just forget the DMZ and have a VPN gateway that connects to the local network

I really just don’t know enough about how you want to use this to get more specific. This is probably more switch than you need, but if you’re not connecting from outside it’ll probably work great for the LAN

Networking is all about bottlenecks, and I doubt this will be a bottleneck for a good while

I’m not sure what you’re asking

In your position, I would want a VPN. I like wire guard, it’s pretty simple compared to other options… But just comparatively

If you want to do networking to network, I can suggest all sorts of things… None of them is practical for normal use cases, but some are pretty neat

It handled it like a pro for me

The problem is, there’s a lot of compartmentalization

The people working on the Israel projects are probably going to be on board with what they’re doing, so I guess you could sabotage Windows a little?

I mean honestly, with how many bugs are coming up in all the windows products, maybe this is happening. I figured it was just years of layoffs, but maybe some of it is intentional

I’m not sure you get the problem here

You can talk to an llm at any moment of any day. They will engage with you endlessly. They’re becoming the front end for search, and at some point might become the primary interface for your device

It’s a huge problem if they manage to make it a propoganda tool, and that’s the goal here

Abstraction is a trade off. You don’t want to build interface layers between everything… It’s a pain in the ass, and if there’s a 1-1 relationship between parts of a system then you’re basically putting in a minimum cost to modify that area in any way. So if you do it, it’ll probably be once you’ve locked down the design pretty well

Game development is pretty different than normal development too. You have a lot of one off and lose ends based on creative decisions… You aren’t building up on top of your system, you’re building out

And frankly, it leads to a mix of mind blowingly good code and a lot of terrible code

So no, I don’t think it’s that easy. I think it’s also a bullshit argument, and they should release the “proprietary” code when they finish supporting the game, or put in the time to make the interfaces

Can’t you just get a new launcher? That’s day one of getting a new phone for me
