  • Not familiar with how piefed handles it specifically but aren’t posts/comments self-upvoted by default?

    You could probably figure it out pretty easily just by looking at a user’s posts, no?

    (This is unless piefed makes it so the main actor up votes their own posts, and the anonymous actor upvotes others’ posts, but then it would still be possible to do analysis on others’ comments to get a pretty accurate guess)






  • Another thing is that the power profile of consoles (and computers in general) has gone up a lot since the earlier consoles. Even if it was well-designed, the thermal paste in all of the coolers would still get hard over time and need to be replaced. That wasn’t as much of an issue with consoles like the Nintendo 64 that used a 20-watt wall adapter as opposed to the max of 200 watts* a PS5 can draw under load. (I don’t have a PS5 so I don’t actually know if this is accurate but it’s what Google said)

    The switch doesn’t use much power either but having a battery and the thin profile makes that type of longevity a lot harder. (Granted, longevity is hard for anything with a lithium battery)

    sigh, takes out 3DS that’s still hanging in there

    Honestly if it weren’t for the headache of some software still not ported over to arm 4 years later, Macs would be pretty good for software development since they have a lot of the POSIX tooling.

    For the same reason I have windows so that games will “just work,” I have Linux so my programming setup will “just work.” Low level languages like C/C++ are so much easier to work with on Linux.
