the SD Express 7.1 standard, which exposes a true PCIe Gen3 x1 interface

External GPU, here I come!

Switch 1 games could also support them. A recent story claimed generic mice would just work. That’s false.

It is still just using regular USB-C. I took inspiration from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btwqt-w85Vk and used a similar cable to connect other devices of mine to the Switch 2 dock and they just work. Switch 2 seems to check the hardware ID. I’m sure if there is some kind of way to fake the hardware ID, Switch 2 would just work with other docks as well.

I can later do an “lsusb” command on Linux using the dock2 and read its hardware ID. The one I currenty use just says xxxxxxxx USB Type-C Digital AV Adapter

I’ve got a USB-c dock and it handled Ethernet and power for my 2 totally fine

Are you still using it in handheld mode? It’s not really docked when you hold it in your hand. I tried to connect three completely different docks to two different monitors, all worked fine with Switch 1 and my PC, none worked with Switch 2.

and I think it reported the keyboard although I didn’t test it.

There recently was a story that USB mice would work just like joycon in mouse mode. They don’t. Games have to explicitly support them, just like before.

I’m sure they did some kind of cost/benefit analysis, but it’s still fucking dumb imo.

The host of what was yesterday the most viewed teardown on YouTube speculated that the string joycon magnets may interfere with hall effect sticks.

Can’t complain about the single player half of the fun at the price of free, though.

The game is so old, it should run fine even in a VM.

Can’t you just grab it and then restrict its internet access?

It wasn’t “half the internet unusable”.

Everything behind the same AWS and Google IPs which is a lot.

I live in Russia

So you pay taxes to Putin. Good to know who actually helps funding the regime.

Telegram is not banned in Ukraine either. There also are no Ukrainian sections against the founder.

I also did not call him a fighter against the regime. You have a vivid imagination.

Russia tried blocking Telegram once but Telegram relies on AWS and Google Cloud, so the blocking attempt backfired, leading to half the internet unusable in Russia, leading to quick back paddling by the Kremlin.

Since Telegram is not banned in either country, it’s the best source for unfiltered news from the front.

Intel tried with OpenAPI because ROCm was not invented here.

I‘m saying whatever the server asks the client, a client can choose to hide the UI elements. Nothing more, nothing less.

Because its competitors care about Not Invented Here instead of building common industry standards.

Grok UI elements and number of GIFs in the picker are 100% local features clients can choose to ignore.

Definitively certain and I didn’t call anyone an angel, so no idea why bring such a thing up.

Discord is just a website.

They can’t force local UI elements via server. That’s impossible to do with forks who decide against following server side requests.

Telegram founder fled Putin.

That’s not how the GPL works. Any such agreements would be voluntary.

The beauty of open source is that there will be 3rd party clients that don’t care about all of that.
