Only if they tell this to their auditor tbh

I guess launching this next year ahead of the rumoured Switch 2 launch would make sense to steal some of Nintendo’s potential market share.

I bet the Switch 2’s SoC will include a GPU based on Ampere or newer, which means RTX 3000 series capabilities which. Nvidia Tegra Orin from 2019 already included that much.

Of course it will be very likely more limited than even a 3060 mobile chip, but it could include both RT and DLSS 3.5 if they wanted to. I doubt they use RT but DLSS would make a lot of sense.

I mean the Xbox Series S will be a 4 year old non-high-end console by the time the Switch 2 will be released. I can definitely see them go in that direction.

Maybe it will have more RAM, but it will most likely have slower/cheaper RAM. LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X instead of GDDR6. Should also be more power efficient.

I just wonder whether they want to use DLSS for more FPS on the handheld or whether it’s simply their future way to upscale from the native handheld resolution to 4K when docked.

Surely DLSS would be very taxing on the battery life, but it would be great to improve the docked experience which is often rather bad (stuttering, etc.) with the old Switch.

The subscription also includes free games, though

So privacy first first and privacy last second, interesting combo

Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

Google has managed this years ago, but it’s optional. There was a fairly short timeframe when most phone makers enforced it, but now most allow power users to disable the security and root their phones. But usually they will disable some security-sensitive features like Samsung Knox. And many security-sensitive apps like banking apps will not let you run them anymore (if yours does, great for you, but that also means your bank’s security is shit, just FYI).

Why is this rumor all over the media again all of a sudden? This was already reported a month ago.

As well as back in March.

ngl, SQL could use some rejuvenation

X.com was the startup Musk (and others) launched in 1999. It merged with another startup to create PayPal in 2000. Musk bought the X.com domain back a few years ago.

So yea, he’s been obsessed with the letter X for a while. Other than SpaceX, there’s also Tesla Model X.

Either you’re wearing it (way) too tight or it’s cheap garbage. Going through two wristbands per year is not normal.

wtf do you do to those wristbands?

Im Europe, if you want to buy digital, it can be worth buying with a Norwegian account, they often have the best prices in Europe. Like Zelda TOTK is at least 10.- cheaper in Norway than almost all of Europe. On the other end of the spectrum is Switzerland, where it’s 20.- more expensive. So as a Swiss resident, it’s 30.- cheaper for me to buy it through a Norwegian account.

Samsung is about the same size as Alphabet

Seriously. I’m quite a Google maximalist (yea, I know, spare me) and a young-ish not-that-old IT nerd. But even I have lost track of which chat app is currently the supported one / the successor of all the dead ones, and how to get is / use it (well, particularly on the web). If I’m confused, I can’t imagine how it is for the average internet user or old people.

Worked fine until yesterday evening. This morning (i.e. now) it instantly crashes

“Losing” is part of both the game and life, the kids will get over it. I mean, as kids we played games like TMNT and Battle Toads and we managed, not getting 50 coins because you got kicked out of the gym is nothing on comparison.

But yea, if you want to be extra nice, you can look out for these things and lose all your PvP battles.

Honestly, if you care about kids’ experience that much, join them in raids, that does much more.

The point is that Alphv is an operator of ransomware as a service (RaaS), specifically BlackCat, independent of whether they used ransomware in this specific attack (which it indeed doesn’t sound like).

No. If Reddit would negotiate with them, they’d probably leak small subsets as proof that they have actual data that isn’t available publicly. But with no negotiations, there’s not really any need for that.
