I set up Ubuntu for my somewhat non-technical brother (not as non technical as you mentioned, but not someone who will ever open CLI), and they used it happily until their laptop got too old and they had to change (5-7 years, even upgraded to next LTS once)

So, I will vote for something stable and mainstream like that. Set up steam on that, and they should be good to go.

It’s interesting that both this and Mario Kart: World originally started as Switch 1 games, and only later they decided to move to Switch 2.

I played it 2-3 years ago, and yeah, it still holds up pretty well.

Hope we aren’t putting too much pressure on a guy who just wants to share screenshots of the game he is playing.

10 days to go! 😀

This, I believe, is the biggest use case that I have come across.

I don’t think the third-party dock market for general consumers is too big. But of course, any example I quote would be anecdotal as I dont have any actual stats.

EU made iPhone have proper USB C port, instead of proprietary stuff

It can probably do something about this too. I think USB C rule was only for phones so may not directly apply to Switch, but they can make Nintendo fix it.

Thanks, will take a quick look at that.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the detailed response.

What’s the Pirate Software fiasco?

Oh.

Well, thanks for the info!

Just curious, but does this coming to Xbox Series X/S means people can play it on ALL the Xboxes? Like the Rog Ally, The Meta Quest etc. As much as that branding is confusing, if this is true, then that’s pretty cool.

This is not just for Xbox, 9000 layoffs are against whole MS. Xbox just got hit heavier than anyone else.

Saw some article about how MS has planned to invest about $80B in infrastructure for AI stuff, do they are cutting any expense they can.

Didn’t read the article in detail. Too tired of this now.

TotK definitely improves upon everything in BotW, but that doesn’t mean BotW isn’t a masterpiece on it’s own.

doomcanoe has explained it well, I think for you, BotW is the way to go.

Though, just to be clear, you can’t go wrong with either option. It’s like choosing between two of my favourite ice cream flavours and I can only have one. 😀

lol, I can’t make up my mind if it will be fun or annoying to play Mario Kart with you.

Yeah, I wanted this when it was originally announced but recall reading after that the specs aren’t so good. We finally have the confirmation / review now.

No info on that, but apparently firing over a 100 people (out of 300 or so people)

One person, who asked to remain anonymous in order to protect their career, told IGN there’s no word yet on exactly how many staff are affected, but the standard 45-day consultation process starts today, June 23, which according to UK law is triggered when an employer proposes 100 or more redundancies within a 90-day period. IGN understands Build A Rocket Boy currently has around 300 UK employees, with around 200 abroad.

“It’s understandable that dev kits are heavily restricted before a console launch and they usually remain restricted for a while afterwards,” he says. “The Switch 2 has been very normal in this regard and we didn’t expect to have access to kits ahead of launch.”

I think this quote sums up the article nicely.
