Nintendo was overblown? The switch launch units had a very large rate of drift issues within the first year. I’d call it fair to say that most of the launch version had drift issues. Most Nintendo hardware releases have no major flaws while “viewed under the microscope”. I guess the switch 2 has a shitty screen, but it’s not flawed hardware. The screens were made to be shit from the getgo.

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicideEnglish42·1 month agoThis is a lawyers cash grab. Why should it get put on Roblox? Why not the parents or the pedo or the IP or the electric company?
Also, Roblox business hasn’t been just children for quite a while. It’s been around and popular for too long. Nearly 1\3 of the player base is 17 and over. A lot of the 12 year olds who started playing a decade ago didn’t stop playing.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicideEnglish133·1 month agoGame companies shouldn’t have to monitor and supervise children. Each kid already has adults legally responsible for them. It isn’t a g companies job to do someone else’s job for them, nor be financially responsible for criminals or parenting.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicideEnglish105·1 month agoMaybe the first thing is that it’s just the predators fault and anything beyond that is bullshit. Gonna sue the company that made the PC too? Maybe the electric company for providing the electricity to it?
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicideEnglish222·1 month agoWhy? It’s idiotic to force age verification and an ID to play games on the internet, and I’m assuming the kid didn’t just click a button to turn off parental controls. He probably got his parents to do it. Liability shouldn’t be pushed off to others every time something bad happens. This is the groomers fault. Not a game company or an internet provider or anyone else. Hell; why not sue Intel for making a processor that allowed the game to be played and discord to be used? Do you also expect every startup game company and Indy dev to have millions of dollars worth of chat security and oversight? Shit like this is nothing but a money grab.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Fediverse still going strong and stabilizingEnglish8·2 months agoNo. Everyone just decided to stop using the fediverse a couple of times for like a day. Guess you missed it.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your SoftwareEnglish1·2 months agoIn third world countries I think Samsung’s allows you to unlock the bootloader. Open developer options and see if there’s a tic box for “OEM unlock”
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your SoftwareEnglish3·2 months agoMy Note 20 Ultra (US) came out like 5+ years ago and you can’t unlock the bootloader. There was a workable hack job that was possible for a little while, but even that got patched up through a firmware update back in like 2021, and there’s no way to roll back firmware anymore, either.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your SoftwareEnglish6·2 months agoLiterally anyone who simply wants their privacy.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your SoftwareEnglish51·2 months agoYou realize how many things have gotten shittier since android 11? Accubattery isn’t even allowed to monitor everything using up juice any more. You can’t customize your own charging curves, you’re locked out of accessing portions of your storage on your own phone, and a lot of great power user apks had to completely hit themselves or just stop working all together.
What do you need from after 11 that an apk wouldn’t have allowed you to do already?
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your SoftwareEnglish3·2 months agoThat’s barely a viable option without using apples own walled garden.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on airEnglish41·2 months agoWell sure, it could have been something he drank, or maybe he wanted to kill himself and took something on purpose. We’ll probably end up finding out more at some point.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on airEnglish9·2 months agoBy how it reads, it kind of looks like more of a Jack-ass situation if voluntary abuse. There was some mention of him getting shot with paint balls. Also, the autopsy report said he had no trauma.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•GOG.com gives away free horny games to protest credit card company censorshipEnglish2·2 months agoYep. I remember it being in the mall for Coleman’s book signing. I also remember that they actually got Gary Coleman as the voice actor.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•GOG.com gives away free horny games to protest credit card company censorshipEnglish2·2 months agoI can’t remember if it was p1 or p2, but I remember having to fight Gary Coleman. Lol
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•GOG.com gives away free horny games to protest credit card company censorshipEnglish8·2 months agoThose poor cats.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•GOG.com gives away free horny games to protest credit card company censorshipEnglish16·2 months agoWell I hope you don’t bust while playing Postal 2. Not really any sexy stuff on there, but you can dump gas on people, burn them alive, and then piss on them.
Also, cats can be used as suppressors.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Google loses app store antitrust appeal, must make sweeping changes to Play StoreEnglish24·3 months agoYou say Amazon has one for a while… They’re deactivating their apk store like this week, I think.
All the apks I got through amazons store gave a shitty check in them that sees if the Amazon apk store is still installed and active. If it isn’t, the apk won’t work, so I’m in the middle of waiting to see if the ones I still have installed on my phone are going to keep working or not.
*Edit. Just double checked. Amazon apk store shuts down August 20th.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, KojimaEnglish1·3 months agoOh sure. But what could you really do about some weird kid taking pictures of you in public?
Here, Gizmodo. Let me fix that title for you.
“Almost half the upset tweets on the most bottidden platform (twitter) about Cracker Barrel were likely from bots.”
Realistically, the upset was probably more about how the new logo came on all of a sudden, was very plain, and like how coca cola found out with new coke in the 1980s, it’s not necessarily that people love cracker barrel. It’s a part of their nostalgia they grew up with. They went with Grandma and Grandpa growing up. It was a special little stop on a family vacation to eat. They liked looking at the toys and candy in the gift shop and it was so weird and cool they had a store in the restaurant. It can be a company nightmare to screw with a logo that’s been around for decades that could have memories attached to it.
Especially the new one is pretty lame.
