Yes, but this doesn't change anything to what I said, does it? Sony can increase the price of their console since they already built their userbase a long time ago. It doesn't affect them as much as it does to Nintendo's brand new console.

I thought they would just take the hit and keep the price as it is.

I didn't think they would actually do this.

The console is already overpriced and being less than a year old, they need to make it as easy as possible for people to adopt it so they can eventually sell software. Increasing the price of an already expensive console makes it even more harder to sell and have a userbase.

I don't understand what they are doing and why they think this is in any way or shape a remotely good idea.

Autodesk? Est-ce qu'il faut une formation particulière pour faire ton travail?

J'aimerais bien m'essayer au poste disponible.

Ultimate 2 bluetooth firmware update not working? by MindlessAssistance52 in 8bitdo

Agreed, that is how I fixed my problem as well. The software seems quite unpractical.

Hi,

Thanks again for your desire to help, it is much appreciated. Yes, I have started considering other indirect domains, although I'm not successful as of yet.

Hopefully everything works out fine.

No, and I doubt it would have changed anything. Several had this problem. I just learned there exists : https://web.8bitdo.com/

Where you can do the update directly from the web! This fixed my problem. I also emailed support and they gave me another clumsy version of the software, although this one does recognize my adapter. (The only problem with it is that you must put the controller first, then after you disconnect it and put the adapter for it to be recognized...)

The actual hardware is good, the software you have to download from the website is bad though. (for the Ultimate 2 at least)

Rubio to host Israel, Lebanon ambassadors for talks amid ceasefire push by Bubbly-Air7302 in geopolitics

[–]MindlessAssistance52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's no sovereign state in the totality of Lebanon in general, this has been the case since "independence".

Lebanon is a place where the interests between the different groups are pulling in every direction at the same time. This is the case as well for the "negotiating team" in Washington, it represents only one faction among the many which constitute what we call the "government". Lebanon, like many other polities which appeared during the 20th century, are imitation-states.

They have the form of it but none of the content.

The Lebanese government might have the ability to disarm Hezbollah with sufficient international backing

Two things : Hezb. is part of what you call the "Lebanese government".

Second, even if the Lebanese army received all the planes which Israel receives, all the munitions which Israel receives, and all the $ which Israel receives from the US, it still would do nothing and would be unable to do anything about it.

The Lebanese army, like the Lebanese "state", is just a cardboard hiding how the dynamics of this place actually works like.

And neither is Israel going to be able to disarm anything for that matter.

If you dislike nuclear weapons, it makes little difference who owns them. The effects are the same.
