That's not even an issue for them now with checking unique IDs. They're just outright banning entire switch 2 consoles that use duplicate unique cartridge IDs which appear after dumping the game data onto a Migswitch cart. They see the same ID in two places at once? That ID is poisoned now. Any time that ID comes online, it bans a console. The fact that they're doing this and still remaining profitable is a testament to customers blind love for this company's products.

It has also killed the second hand game market for me regarding switch and switch 2 games.

    All forms of finality punishment are cruel. You'll never change my mind that death sentences are anything other than evil purely based on the fact that if it's on the table for anyone, it's on the table for everyone and we have a false conviction rate of nearly 1 in 20.

    It's so funny that the things they're scared of aren't even hardly on the radar of most liberal politicians. Like Hinojosa's platform is literally increasing educator salaries, providing rebates for Texans out of the bloated rainy day fund and reducing property tax burdens. Also, Texas doesn't have income taxes with which to increase.... So what taxes do they think will be increased? Probably oil production and data centers which is a popular position across the line.

    I actually run two instances of gluetun running two VPN seats configured for two different countries and a script that speed tests both every hour and switches what network is piped into qbit based on how fast the speed test was with some logic for if I am uploading more or downloading more on the client. Quite proud of it tbh.

    1000% this. Get on a private tracker and setup your glutun/qbit docker container and you never have to worry about your ratios or bring had by the feds. It's so nice. My jellyfin setup with Seerr gets a lot of traffic from my whole family. All of it is running on second hand hardware from office e-waste auctions that I've spent maybe $250 on over the last 4-5 years. Way cheaper than paying for all the subscription streamers. And I got to learn a fuckload of cool stuff I never would have otherwise.

    That's the problem with Republicans. Even when they disagree, they always vote in unison. It's why we have the ratchet effect. Republicans always vote together regardless of their own personal views and Democrats vote with their feelings. When Republicans are in power, they move right quickly without dissent. When Democrats are in power, they cannot agree on how to vote and it causes gridlock.

    I had an idea in a dream where a pressure vessel had a buoyancy valve at the lowest point. The idea was that a ball would sit in a hole and water that may condense inside the vessel would lift the ball allowing the water to drain after which the pressure of the vessel would seal the ball back into place. That made me wonder about the possibility of a pressure based buoyancy valve and whether the physics were there.
