if you mainly play Switch 1 games, it's not worth the upgrade. I've got both and Switch 1 games are not dramatically better. The screen is certainly not as good as the Switch OLED, so if you have that and aren't interested in Switch 2 games you've made a good choice!

These AI companies need to be kept away from Open Source projects. A sad day for Blender :(

In my country 95% of people don't mind Meta tracking their location with WhatsApp, so I think the days of people caring about tracking are long gone!

I am the exception and believe in privacy, and I've not used a Meta app since I tested Facebook/WhatsApp back in 2010 and soon uninstalled them as I don't want a digital portfolio to be developed on me for advertisers. Same with Google, they can whistle for my personal information, but they won't get it!

I'm sure surveillance companies have an even easier time buying data from Meta/WhatsApp so that's even more worrying as people use different ISPs so 95% of people won't be traced by any one ISP, but Meta and Google have the location information of anyone gullible enough to use their services.

This brought back some memories. So nice to see art from an era where you really needed talent to be able to produce it. Such a nice contrast to the AI slop which takes no talent to produce!

GenAI is a bubble, but that’s not the same as the broader field of AI, which is completely different. We will probably not even be using chat bots in a few years, better interfaces will be developed with real intelligence, not just predictive statistics.

It’s a good thing that most people don’t buy Macs for gaming, as they suck compared to any other platform. Anyone who expects a good experience is fooling themselves as they won’t get it! If you want to experience games as the developer intends, don’t play ports that use compatibility layers, just buy a console and play natively!
