A patent filed by Nintendo suggests that they’re working on Hall Effect style joysticks for the Switch 2 that would eliminate stick drift almost entirely.
I picked them up a few months ago so I could watch Clerks 3 and Ghostbusters Afterlife. Then I ended up watching Spartacus, Ash vs Evil Dead, and Outlander. There's a few other things on there I'd like to see, but I don't think it's enough to justify a yearly subscription considering how little TV I watch. Once they have John Wick 4 and I get through that, then I'll probably cancel.

I’ve had this question looking at the Quake con sale, and Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth is for sale on both platforms. I ended up buying it on GOG. What is your opinion?
GOG. DRM-free support needs all the help it can get. I have nothing but respect for Steam, so it's my secondary choice. The only exception is if it's a game that's been out for a while and there's been discrepancies between GOG and Steam support (or a dev/publisher with a history of said issues), in which case I'll go with the one that's better supported.
And she, she was real cool too! She'd harvest the crops, man, that's what I'm talking about! She put in the, in the, um, bushels and stuff and sell it, you know, because they had to make ends meet and stuff. I mean, did you ever look at a dollar bill man? There's some spooky stuff on, on a dollar bill, man. I mean, and it's green, too!
And by god was it absolutely terrible. New restaurant, clean on the inside, tried 3 different things and I have to wonder, does anyone actually like jack-in-the-box? How are they still in business?
My golf handicap is higher than the average score. I've played at 4 different courses and I go the driving range about once every 3 years. I should see if they'll let me become a moderator of /r/golf.
In 2005, Sony BMG installed DRM software on users’ computers without clearly notifying the user or requiring confirmation. Among other things, the software included a rootkit, which created a security vulnerability. When the nature of the software was made public much later, Sony BMG initially minimized the significance of the...
There were tons of issues with earlier DRM models. SecuROM not working with certain disc drives, SafeDisc driver vulnerabilities, StarForce allegedly bricking some hardware, Tages eating up online activations for simple hardware swaps. Everyone hated them, but the Sony rootkit was probably the biggest one at the time. From what I remember there was no mention of it anywhere on the CDs or in the EULA, and when they did get caught their "fix" basically just hid the files while collecting info on you and sending it back to Sony.
For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.
As far as I'm concerned the man point is tactile feedback. I don't want to have to take my eyes off the road to switch between screens and find the right menu item to turn on the AC while I'm driving.
A couple years ago I had a salesman try to use the "bigger screen" as the big selling point for going up in trim. I asked him why the hell would I want to take my eyes off the road to look at the screen while I'm driving. He said it was safer because I could see more, then I asked if that mean the cheaper trim didn't have the same safety standards as the more expensive one.
So anyway, the wife "convinces" me to buy the more expensive trim...
I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes....
I smoked for over 20 years, and spent probably 15 of those years trying to quit. When I switched over to a vape pen in 2014 I had to be very cautious about which cartridges I bought because of the obscene nicotine levels in some of them. I can't remember the name of the brand, but there was one that helped me quit because they had a lineup that had a really low level of nicotine in them. After a year I quit without a problem. Just over 8 years now since my last cigarette and almost 8 years since I threw out the vape pen!
It can help, but you have to be very careful which vape juice you use.
I’ll start: My first GF and I didn’t use protection. We used the pull out technique. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I was 19 and could have ruined my life then and there.
Out of curiosity, do men generally measure the lengths of their pps? I asked my fiancé and he says he hasn’t. Wondering if he’s in the minority, or if he’s actually lying and just won’t tell me.
Deezer for music, then I rotate monthly between HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount, Peacock, and Starz. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay all them at once, so all they get is 2 months a year each.
It's one of my favorite games of all time. I think I played for a good 150+ hours and restarted half a dozen times with different builds before I finally beat the game. The same studio is the one working on Balder's Gate 3, which I'm holding off on until it's finished, but I'm really looking forward to eventually getting it.
A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all....
It's not like they're asking it to go away or to be curated for everyone. They just wanted to differentiate the type of NSFW. Sometimes if someones in the mood the last thing they want to see is some poor bastard get splattered on a road, other times when the morbid curiosity hits you don't want to see someone showing their "OH!" face.
You tell them to curate their feed, and that's partly what they want to accomplish. Yes, there are tools in place to do it, but it's easier to find what you want by filtering down than it is to use some of the search tools.
