Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld
  • Not a hot take at all. It was revolutionary for the first year it was released and then was quickly surpassed on every front by any company that put slightly more effort (and more cost) into any part of the switch: graphics, sensors, controllers, expandability, etc. Pretty stock for any Nintendo product, because they only focus on hardware that be produced mass-market and get good profit margins on. Which means it's often made with current-to-dated components that can get overlooked because it's the only platform you can play Nintendo games on. Also, not sure why they are so allergic to ergonomics, all the way back to the NES controller, the least comfortable controller of its peers

  • The real hero of Terminator 2
  • Best thing about this is that it is canonically true; "Cameron believed that cops, institutionalized in a system that encourages them to abuse their power, were a perfect representation of the inhumanity that led to the creation of murderous robots." https://screenrant.com/terminator-2-movie-james-cameron-t1000-police-officer-reason/

  • Alex Jones spent over $93,000 in July. Sandy Hook families who sued him have yet to see a dime
  • Welcome to the world of civil court decisions :(

    If it had been a criminal defamation case, then it would be criminally enforcable... but all this really means is "a judge ruled you need to pay" and if you don't pay, then you could sue them again for not paying, and it just goes in a loop over and over again. I have a friend whose family has been in a loop like this in civil court over a bad real estate venture for decades with someone who simply ignores the rulings.

    It hangs over the head of the person who did it, but in the end it's mostly just a "it's on your permanent record" kind of stain which can stop people from working with you and damage your personal life, but it's not like the kind of people who would work with Alex Jones don't know who they're working with.

  • Why is OneDrive taking up almost 900MB in iCloud backup?
  • The toggle is off which means it's not currently getting backed up

    If the question is why would it take ~900MB if you turned it back on, I'd assume that it's not marking offlined files as purgeable, which would exclude them from backup

    OTOH some might say this is the better experience with a full backup after a critical data loss -- to have all the files you previously marked as offline available immediately after you've done a restore from an iCloud backup 🤷🏾‍♂️

  • What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming
  • No, it's because they understand that from books comes great literature and poetry, and they'll be happy to think that's what you mean when you say your hobby is books, until you clarify that they are the books in the "Dragonlance" Dungeons and Dragons novelization universe
