If you want a fully digital copy just buy the digital copy. Those aren’t going anywhere.

These ones are for games that were sold at retail, in a box, but just had a digital code that made it no different to buying the game digitally. They had no reason to exist. Now they do. They give these games some of the benefits of physical copies.

They don’t stop working once servers are shut down btw. 100% false. You only ever need an internet connection the first time you run the game after downloading it. Source: Nintendo directly:

An internet connection is only required when you launch the game for the first time. After this, the game can be started even without an internet connection.

Definitely feels like something is missing from the story. Where did their 2 phones and drug selling claims come from?

Did he have clearance/permission to have the ashes in his bag? The TSA has rules around transporting ashes:

Not enough info to know what is true and what isn’t really. If he’s telling the truth it’s a shitty and unfair situation for him and something needs to change.

Also most people don’t seem to know but the australian government also gives border security the ability to confiscate your phone/devices and even make backups of them, and arrest you if you refuse to unlock them and hand them over.

User error. Pretty much every AI tool says that you should not trust what it says and that you should check everything yourself.

Also while this cost him $2000, how much did he save by having AI do all the work? If he saved more than $2k then it’s still a net positive.

You’re assuming that they haven’t already got their proof. People are arrested and held until trial all the time.

This person hasn’t been thrown in jail or deported yet btw. They got arrested like someone would when they’ve been accused of a crime. It’s now up to them to prove that she is a criminal or she’ll be let go.

The article in this topic? She never went to America! Some random unnamed lawyer said she could maybe possibly run into some trouble lol.

She didn’t get denied entry, sent back, or thrown in the gulag.

That’s fine, we don’t like you either :)

You guys are insane. You’re saying that we should just believe everyone when they say they’re not a criminal lol. Criminals would never lie, would they? Hahahaha

Sorry I legitimately took that as you thinking that stick drift could be “fixed” by calibrating the controller, as in the controller would be back to normal.

Yeah you can do a workaround to at least stop the games from registering the drift as input, but I think if you suggest that then you need to make sure people are aware of the loss in precision and that it will make the stick feel unresponsive.

Taking my downvote away.

“Misguided preconceptions” lolololol

Any battery powered device that costs more to replace the battery than it costs to buy a new device is not a smart purchase when it’s close to or outside of its warranty period. The risk is not worth it.

It’s like you don’t even understand the point being made. If a EV battery was good for “the life of the car” (let’s say 350,000km or 20 years) then the warranty would be 350,000km or 20 years, wouldn’t it?

Answer me this - why is the battery warranty 8 years / 100,000km with 70% capacity (or whatever the km limit is, can’t remember off the top of my head)? Why don’t they guarantee it for 15 years? 20 years?

It’s less of a vote against your own interests than literally voting against your own interests. Less votes means each vote has more power.

Lots and LOTS of people only vote because they have to, and they vote for whoever lies the best.

If they didn’t have to vote they wouldn’t, and the major parties would lose a LOT of votes, which is what needs to happen. We need independents to actually have a chance.
