  • Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port

    Jump

  • Hiding the loads would require them to redesign the game.

    What I wonder is why they don't copy the game from the cartridge on first load - that's what they do on PS5 and Xbox Series X because the optical drive is also too slow.

  • It depends on why it's slow. Games are complicated software, and some times compromises made in the base architecture can cause issues when porting to untested hardware.

  • You remember how that was a console exclusive so it was optimised around the console's specs? Star Wars Outlaws wasn't done with the Switch 2 in mind, so if the Switch 2 has limitations that the target PC spec or PS5 / Xbox series S doesn't it's natural performance will suffer.

  • Fair point

  • Remember that even Hitler was very charismatic and soft spoken on most of his personal interactions.

    Charisma as very little to do with morals.

  • getting a deadly infection and an eating disorder from an untreated shattered tooth because dental isn’t considered healthcare

    Jump

  • Hyperbole (/haɪˈpɜːrbəli/ ⓘ; adj. hyperbolic /ˌhaɪpərˈbɒlɪk/ ⓘ) is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth'). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.

    Jump

  • Dental health is the one medical speciality where access to healthcare in Europe is almost as bad as the US.

    On paper, most European countries include it in the universal health, but in practice it either only covers doing the bare minimum on life threatening conditions or there's only one dentist in the public healthcare system per million people.

  • Democrats vote down resolution calling for arms embargo on Israel, recognizing Palestinian state

    Jump

  • OK, let's break this down.

    a) Democrats are not in control

    b) They didn't signal support for a two state solution, even when there were 0 real costs because they are not in control

    c) there's 0 reason to believe they would have voted differently if they were in control

    ergo, this is very relevant, even if Republicans are worse.

    Most incumbent Democrats need to be primaried out.

  • Grocery Chains Are Passing Trump Tariff Costs on to US Consumers With Higher Prices: Report

    Jump

  • People still need to eat, and I wouldn't be surprised if the supermarkets have kept the same margins as a percentage with the higher price for essential products.

  • Trump tampering with Fed independence is risky for the economy, experts say

    Jump

  • So is shifting tariffs on a daily base.

  • California Gov. Newsom signs legislation calling special election on redrawn congressional map

    Jump

  • That's not necessarily the case, unless there are massive migration movements inside the US. The split is not really per state, but mostly between urban and rural areas inside each state, instead of a large scale political segregation.

  • It's equally likely that it will end with the US being carved into semi-official fiefdoms divided by faction as with the Guelphs and Ghibellines in medieval Italy.

  • Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods.

    Jump

  • Meta got a fine of over a billion euros. Google got a bunch of smaller fines, but it's probably way above everyone else in terms of fines. Microsoft got half a billion. Even Apple got an 8 million euro fine, but that was more a tap in the wrist to make them think twice about some data collection.

    And besides this, large companies are constantly in contact with the authorities and in smaller violations the general policy is to give a warning and let companies stop the illegal data processing voluntarily.

  • GDPR article 9 (1) says you can't play algorithmic guess with people's religion or political opinions unless you gave express permission to the service provider to do it (i.e. it's not covered in the general GDPR boilerplate)

  • GDPR also applies to data you get from public sources.

  • That's probably a massive GDPR violation. Automated processing of extra sensitive data like political beliefs and religion is not outright forbidden but it's subject to extra protections.

  • Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website

  • We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

    either someone over engineered the page in such a brittle way that it would make AI agents proud, or this is a lie.
