That thing looks so steampunk, I’m kinda jealous.

Aww, you two look really cute together. :P

The Sony Bravia I have now is the first Android device I have ever owned. It is also, coincidentally, the first TV I have had to hard reboot on a regular basis because the HDMI stack keeps crashing.

I have never and will never allow this thing to go online.

Do I have to answer this question?

Money.

Gold points are earned by buying select Switch games and hardware. You use it to buy stuff online related to the Switch. Nintendo wants to reset everyone’s progress for the Switch 2. If you want to use gold to buy Switch 2 stuff it has to be gold earned buying Switch 2 stuff.

Greedy? Yes. But then again, it’s a rewards program they don’t even have to offer in the first place.

That suits me, I just dumped everything I had into renewing my online subscription. Half off.

It feels like this is the only way Nintendo feels comfortable going from a currency system on the Switch to the exact same thing on the Switch 2. Nary the twain shall meet.

They just don’t want to be hounded by anyone about transferring gold from one system to the other.

There is absolutely no reason in a fair and just world why my Pro Controller wouldn’t be able to sync to the Switch 2. So foolishly assuming we live in a fair and just world, I’m probably never going to use the Joycons ever.

How much cherry Kool-aid did that kid have?

That person isn’t fucking around.

I don’t like the idea of saying this federated thing will overtake/be more important than that federated thing. If Piefed is doing it right, Piefed users will be able to see everything on Lemmy and Lemmy users will be able to see everything on Piefed.

User’s choice should grant access to everything.

Federated networks are not competing with each other, they’re cooperating with each other against silo’d, closed networks run by corporations. Or at least that’s how it should be.

We already have Luigi Health Claim Adjuster.

The relevant part of Pirates of Silicon Valley. After which you should watch the whole thing. It’s fan fiction, but it’s the best explanation of what happened between Apple and Microsoft leading into the 1990s.

“You can’t steal that public data! We stole it first!”

And considering that’s exactly what Microsoft did to Apple with point and click, what irony!

Nothing is wrong, comrade.

This is a real problem, and Apple can’t patch it out of the hardware. The only thing they can do is write software to run in advance of hardware execution to “randomize” when and where memory is written to and read from. That will slightly decrease the performance of these chips. The “older” chips from 2021 would see the worst performance reduction. M3 users probably won’t even be able to tell.

The attack vector is a web browser. Even a completely updated safari is vulnerable, but Chrome is seemingly easier to exploit (the way browsers store website data in memory is the key). An encrypted browser won’t change anything because the attack is reading the unencrypted data being displayed to the user.

It takes several minutes for a compromised website to perform the attack. So basic sense practices apply. If you think a website is unsafe, don’t open it. If you think something is happening, closing the suspicious sites immediately might stop the attack before any damage is done. I don’t know how easy it would be to compromise a trusted site, but it’s been done in the past.

Apple could potentially patch Safari to do things that make it harder for the attack to work correctly, and you can bet they’re already retooling the next generation of processors to get rid of this exploit. They did the same thing when an unpatchable exploit was found in the M1 series, M2s have a stopgap measure, and M3s were redrawn to make it an nonissue.

The Sims 2 has always been on the Mac App Store under Aspyr.

It still gets random updates to account for system-level changes.

Ah, the Admiral pulled the old Galaxy-class out of mothballs to serve alongside the newest B52-class starship.

Can confirm, living inside the circle and it is very loud.

This seriously looks like ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic.
