I believe Atlas Pro did a video on it one time. I'll go check.

Edit: Yep

Checked it out and learned there's Thursday Night Dodgeball near me. Ok, this is actually useful.

I feel this would fit better under either Bone Hurting Juice or Speed of Lobsters. Idk if we have any communities like that here yet.

The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. in c/[email protected]

Even then, this is still a solid 30-40% increase in downloads. That's statistically significant right there.

I see a k following the numbers, so I'm assuming that's total number of downloads.

Nintendo doing the smarting in c/[email protected]

I haven't looked into the details myself since I got lucky with my used Switch. But, yeah, it should still be possible.

Alas, the only easily hackable Switch's were made until about a year after release. To hack modern ones requires a special mod chip that isn't easily soldered on.
Nintendo unfortunately did a good job on hack proofing the Switch.

If I recall correctly, the shareholders also can and will sue you if you make a decision that earns them less money than if you had done something more profitable for them. So the companies have a legal incentive to only serve their shareholders.

There's actually two Switch emulators. Ryujinx is the other one. I've tried both and they're both solid options.

Reddit Is Letting Power Users In on Its IPO. Not Everyone’s Buying in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

This is the big thing. There are multiple niche, and not-so-niche, subreddits that just don't exist here. Or they have nowhere near the presence as on Reddit.
Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to fix that by contributing where I can, but I am just one person.

OpenAI collapses media reality with Sora AI video generator | If trusting video from anonymous sources on social media was a bad idea before, it's an even worse idea now in c/[email protected]

This is only the beginning. It's only going to get harder and harder to know what is and isn't real online.
Sure, you and I are aware of this and have an idea of what to look out for. But do my older parents or grandparents know about this stuff and what to look for? I seriously doubt it.

1.8 Million Barrels of Oil a Day Avoided from Electric Vehicles in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I would have to dig to find it, but I remember reading years ago in a Car and Driver article that EV's powered by even the dirtiest coal power plants will still return around 30 MPGe, which is better than most vehicles on the road today.

Granted that article was from before the Hummer EV, so I'm sure that number will have changed somewhat.
