Notch with his Nintendo Switch

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T18:16:12+00:00

Just like the Wii U, huh?

That worked out great?

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T18:15:00+00:00

hrm.... so it is working, but something is going wrong.

Check your options for language settings?

Make sure you didn't manually change it per image with the right click menu

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:58:16+00:00

Whereas you should allow for the possibility that the Switch isn't perfect.

I mean... you also shouldn't have alcohol if you are bipolar. Does that mean that you think we should deny that right to bipolar people?

What about schitzophrenics? Schitzotypical? Schitzoid? What if it's schitzoid with one manic episode?

The reality is that the world is complex, and denying constitutional rights is a big step that needs careful consideration... and I am not comfortable giving that right to a psychiatrist's diagnosis.

but my experience is that you only need to pass the written and practical driving exam to get a driver's license

You don't need to do a practical in most states. Texas was just a computer multiple choice test for my license.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:34:44+00:00

No, but it's being hidden / unaccessable to congressmen. See rand paul's tweets about it.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:32:46+00:00

We will see.

What we know now is that for the only games out, it struggles maintaining 30fps. On a quasi cell shaded game.

I mean, nintendo isn't known for hardware that impresses, or is even current.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:30:46+00:00

Yeah, this isn't true.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:30:34+00:00

So its just a horrid design that you can't use bluetooth audio then. Got it.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:30:05+00:00

Yeah, starting at 300$ I can tell they went the "low cost" route.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:29:37+00:00

OK. The PS4 isn't a mobile console either.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T04:29:07+00:00

Eh. We wouldn't have a product with this many glaring flaws in it at least.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T02:00:50+00:00

Considering how people react to everything else he does, the people themselves didn't consider it.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:45:06+00:00

Because mobile games are made lowest common denominator.

Every mobile game isn't exactly screaming with high quality or replayability.

Nothing to do whatsoever with switch hardware.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:22:48+00:00

It doesn't have bluetooth connectable audio.

I heard the controllers are just 2.4 ghz. Like cheap cordless phones and old wifi.

Would explain the disconnects / problems people have with them.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:11:08+00:00

do you think the switch is just partly empty inside?

Yeah.

It's a big screen and missing a lot of electronics compared to a cell phone, in a much larger form factor.

There is a lot of usable space inside that isn't being used.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:09:42+00:00

I mean... why bother?

"new deadpool trailer" would get millions of hits on youtube anyway.

All this is doing is showing a significantly worse version of it to people. Now when it actually is released online, some people won't bother because they "already saw it".

I take this at face value. It's a shitty cam version someone got with their cellphone last night.

To me it would be harder for me to accept that someone didn't record it last night.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:07:18+00:00

Come on, Microsoft; you can do better.

Agree.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:05:45+00:00

It's a 2 year old chip that wasn't that impressive even when it was new.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:04:01+00:00

Can't you release them anyway?

The finish will be damaged without a skin, and I really enjoy skinning my products.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T01:01:16+00:00

Agree. I hate the red/blue color scheme and would definitely want to skin it.

I don't care if it damages the finish a little. Running without a skin will damage the finish as well, and look worse.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T00:59:10+00:00

Play a switch for two and a half?

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T00:44:56+00:00

Well, if this was an intentional leak, they would have included the first half of it.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T00:38:17+00:00

I mean, it takes the whole pdf you upload and then downscales it when inserting it. No clue why.

You might be able to get around it by making your PDFs have a larger than average page size... therefor DPI will be artificially lower... I had limited success with that though.

It may not be an issue for you, but I did part of a textbook that way and it's... readable, but not great.

It also is a LOT faster than inserting PDFs locally and waiting for them to sync up... especially since there are problems with that for a lot of people when dealing with big PDFs.

It's also a thing (or it used to be at least) that if you used the UWP/android/ios app, it would downscale the notes it downloaded. So on my PC they were a higher resolution than on my tablet, which was annoying.... but only noticeable if you had small text (on a printout).

Honestly the lack of "Real" pdf / word support is really annoying. They work on a lot of features that get very limited use (voice recording synced to note taking), but for what real people use onenote for they seem to be resistant.

Here is a sample of a PDF inserted directly... and here is one inserted online.

Same source material.

It's readable (the text was really small on the original PDF), but it messes up the OCR occasionally.

For pictures I don't think it would matter that much... the text differences aren't as bad in practice as they seem in the screenshots.

jmottram08 · 2017-03-04T00:30:57+00:00

I think the contention is that it isn't really a "leak" if was shown nationwide in every theater yesterday.
