I’m kinda expecting that it will just be a more powerful Switch. Maybe one day companies will be able to make games that are Switch 2 only but won’t be forced to. Kinda like how nobodies making PS5 exclusives yet.

How exactly will this produce novel new ideas, AI is literally incapable of doing anything it hasn’t already been trained to do.

About to head off to work but I think Netgear make one, but it’s like 6-7x more expensive. And it’s probably made in China anyway.

It’s an Archer T3U, which uses a Realtek chipset. I was living in Africa at the time I bought it and you don’t get much choice when it comes to electronics. I heard of a guy who had to travel to Spain to get a USB mouse. Anyway, the problem is that I’m actually trying to install it on a Beaglebone Black which is stuck on the 5.10 LTS kernel. The chipset is actually supported in the latest kernel, but the BB version hasn’t been released yet.

I’ve never even seen a cockroach in the UK, I didn’t realise they were a thing here.

I spent today trying to install a USB WiFi dongle in Debian. On Windows it took about 5 seconds, I still haven’t got it working on Debian.

There are others that aren’t Chinese but nothing anywhere near the price bracket you’ll get from GL.Inet. I wouldn’t trust them either, I’d just take the hit and lose the app. Since it’s OpenWRT I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an alternative to the apps. Flashing standard OpenWRT to them is really easy, you just download it from the site and flash through the firmware upgrade option, no dramas. Many VPNs will have instructions on how to set up their service on OpenWRT.

I’m avoiding reading this thread as I don’t want spoilers but I didn’t really enjoy the first one that much and dropped out before finishing. I hear a lot about 2 though, is it worth playing the first one in order to play 2?

To be fair, they’ve given a relatively technical and honest explanation as to why they’ve made this decision.

I don’t see why everyone hates this. It’s disabled by default and you don’t have to use it. I use Linux but thank god someone’s actually trying to make operating systems interesting again, nobody else has done anything interesting in years.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a kid come to the door without a costume, I’m not sure I’d even notice. But yeah, who knows why they haven’t got a costume, so I’d probably give them some.

What was wrong with Joplin? I was thinking about giving it a try.

What do you find uplifting about Doom? Is it the bit where demons enslave the Earth?

VPNs are banned in Russia to make sure they don’t accidentally get inaccurate information about the special military operation.

I know everyone hates AI being forced into stuff but I think it could be great for games, both in regards to voice acting like here and with creating loads of low-level content, like boring litter, etc. I’m playing Cyberpunk right now and I keeps thinking how it’s a shame that you can’t enter most of the buildings. I’m hoping that with AI that will somehow become possible. Imagine being able to walk into a huge office block, find any random person then have a deep conversation with them. It’ll be amazing. Right now if you walk up to anyone who doesn’t have something specific to say it’s just “Can I help you” and shit like that.

It’s just a ceremonial thing, they don’t have any actual power. Plus it makes money for the country. There’s not really any reason to get rid of them and King Charles is always pushing anti-climate change stuff so he’s actually using his influence to try and help.

Actually loads of people do.

This one was much better than the sequels and I think it was because in the sequels I found Lara unbearable. In this one she was scrappy and there was lighthearted chitchat to just make everyone feel a bit human. In the sequels everything was just so melodramatic and it all took itself way too seriously, especially considering how silly the stories were.

It took me ages to realise this. People with ADHD are always portrayed as lazy but they don’t struggle with hard work, they struggle with boring work. Before I knew I had ADHD I always found I was getting in trouble for not finishing boring work so I always used to prioritise tasks by how much fun they were and start with the most boring. I just ended up getting nothing done.

It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.
