    GOP intensifies war against EVs and efficient cars

    This may be a bit selfish but I also kind of hate how these large vehicles block my view of the intersection lights or road ahead of me. Unfortunately now that we have electric SUVs and trucks, American preferences for large vehicles are unlikely to change,

    Not when the rest of the world is increasing regulation stringency.

    Our first impressions after 48 hours with the Switch 2

    The dock doesn’t even support VRR to external monitors because Nintendo went ultra cheap and only built in HDMI 2.0 instead of 2.1, which has the VRR spec. This is despite them knowing most customers will use the device in docked mode. They really harmed user experience to save a few cents per...

    Our first impressions after 48 hours with the Switch 2

    It’s too bulky to play on a couch or bed for long. And you’ll be reaching for the charger before you know it. I really preferred the switch lite. It was a proper, solid feeling handheld. But IMO Nintendo really needs to target 4 hours of heavy usage as minimum for it to be a viable portable...

    Our first impressions after 48 hours with the Switch 2

    This is exactly what I was thinking. It’s like some old executive at Nintendo was mad the Wii U failed and decided to bring it back as a “portable” with abysmal battery life. And the Nintendo fanboys are downvoting anyone with legitimate criticism. Battery prices have dropped 75% in 10 years...

    Our first impressions after 48 hours with the Switch 2

    Battery life is way too short. Device too big. Remember when we made fun of the game gear for embarrassingly short battery life and the Atari lynx for unreasonable bulkiness?

    Nintendo warns Switch 2 GameChat users: “Your chat is recorded”

    Either way the battery drains ridiculously fast while playing a game. Considering how much battery prices have dropped, 75% in 10 years, nintendo should’ve included twice the battery.

    Google settles shareholder lawsuit, will spend $500M on being less evil

    It was probably always going to end this way for Amazon’s Wheel of Time show

    Oh yeah, can’t imagine why massively altering the story and characters and alienating the original core fans from the get go would cause a loss of interest. If the original setting and its gender roles make you uncomfortable, maybe you should consider why a simple piece of art is too much for...

    Trump bans sales of chip design software to China

    If China could do that, they would already do that. They have every intention of domiciling everything they rely on. Encouraging the development of a software development industry and the necessary culture to make it work is a lot harder than reverse engineering hardware or stealing some...

    Trump bans sales of chip design software to China

    No idea why people are upset about this. Software is a lot harder to do right than hardware. China is not going to just magically design their own chip design software. And even if they somehow do eventually this ban slows them down. China is not a friend of anyone. Their human rights...

    Trump signs executive orders meant to resurrect US nuclear power

    I think 25% nuclear baseload could help a lot. Idk how we’ll deal with winters when solar just doesn’t work due to much shorter daylight hours and much more inclined angle of sunlight rays. I guess rely on windmills but land based wind is inconsistent. We could generate carbon neutral...

    AT&T has $6 billion deal to buy CenturyLink fiber broadband business

    For what it’s worth, at&t fiber is pretty good with customer service and upkeep. They seem to be run by completely separate people than the abusive u verse and dsl branches. I did have some downtime the last couple days for the first time in a year but AT&T fiber sent out regular text messages...
