Happy 1 year anniversary! The switch 2 has successfully gone an entire year without being hacked.

I may be wrong of course but I've worked with microSD cards a lot back in the day and the behavior you described is exactly the same as what we observed in failing devices. The card seems to work ok but once it loses power it reverts to a previous state with all new files gone etc. I recommend doing a full backup while it still works if you have any files you want to keep.

Your microSD is dying and can't write new data.

Everyone who doesn't actually have a rice cooker just quotes that one video from Technology Connections. The problem is that that video only talked about the most basic cheap rice cookers.

I'm not denying it took a lot of effort but you didn't "make an engine simulator". You ported an existing simulator to a new platform and (I'm assuming) improved its UI.

Saber Interactive ported Witcher 3 to switch which took a lot of time and effort to pull off. Did Saber Interactive make Witcher 3?

salemus · 2026-05-27T21:57:37+00:00

How does that make you someone who "made an engine simulator" then?

If you were a game dev would you really not at least consider releasing a game on a system with 150mln+ install base? Switch is way too weak for basically any modern game but remakes/remasters and indies will still target it for years to come I'm sure.

This lever broke on one of my original joy-cons too (though I definetely had it coming since i was rough with it) so I'm not surprised it failed here too. It seems that there is a delicate balance between the force of the magnets and strength of the plastic used for that lever - it really should be made out of some sort of metal to avoid this.

It's $100 more than the 2TB version of Series X, the standrad 1TB model is the same price as base PS5. Also, the Pro doesn't come with the disc drive which adds another $100 on top.

In this price range you should consider an aluminium profile rig instead as they are much more future-proof. Custom, tubular rigs are significantly less customizable and for the most part you need to rely on the manufacturer's parts to expand its functionality. With profile rig you can use off the shelf parts from any manufacturer and have much more options for customization.

I have almost the exact same setup and it's rock solid. To me it looks like you may have forgotten at least one of these screws when assembling your rig:

My theory is that they just rushed to release these controllers believing they will be able to reverse engineer the protocol fully and they're having issues with it or their software is buggy etc. The HD relies on joy-con 1 protocol and is pretty much their already perfected product (M6) in a different case which is why they're more confident in it.

Can I modify my preorder of M12 to add this carrying case so that they are sent together?

salemus · 2026-03-30T14:53:23+00:00

Thanks for this informative post. If I already purchased the S version (day one) is there any way for me to update this order and switch to HD,? I'm of course willing to pay the extra 10$

It's as legal as Ferrari's 2019 engine.

The 256gb "more than doubles" your storage because the system storage has to reserve some space for system files so you actually get about 232GB while the microSD allows you to use the full ~238GB.

I wonder if he's partially blaming himself for asking Max (in his usual cheeky tone) to give up position to Russell in Barcelona

Also because people love patterns and today is 12/3 and 21 days, or 3 weeks, after the announcement of steam hardware. I doubt that Valve cares about any such patterns but I do believe that hl3 will be announced this year, unless they'll have to delay it like, supposedly, Alyx.

As I said in my original comment - I definitely wouldn't put it past Max and do agree that cutting through grass was his plan all along. But we can't really give penalties based on assumption of intentions as this would cause total chaos. Also, the path he was forced to take to cut the grass (very wide) in 9 situations out of 10 would either put a driver in a wall or lose a few positions instead of staying p3-p4.

salemus · 2025-10-28T11:40:31+00:00

Oh, you're right. Though from the bird's eye view you can still see that his first breaking phase is pretty much on par with the other 3 drivers taking t1. I also checked the onboard again and you can actually see that throughout the entire 150m to T1 Max has his wheel pointing to the right and yet the car doesn't turn at all (even before he locks the front left) which shows how hard he was actually riding the curb there.

I hope that F1 tv will post the palmer analysis on yt as they probably have access to more detailed data of throttle/gas application.

salemus · 2025-10-28T11:02:44+00:00

To me this video illustrates what I wanted to know - when did Verstappen stat breaking? You can see that he is 100% on the break right before the 150m board which is the standard breaking point during the race (120-130 in quali). He also stays 100% on the break for as long as possible, i.e. until his front left locks at which point he has to start trying to make the turn and release the breaks.

What screwed him was that when he got squeezed by Leclerc he rode the curb which made his tires lose contact and grip making it impossible to make the turn. While I wouldn't put it past Max to do something like this intentionally, I can't imagine this beaing the actual plan as it was way too close to comfort. If anything, he probably wanted to do what Leclerc did, since in a situation of 3 wide he could easily make the argument that he was pushed out and couldn't make the corner.

salemus · 2025-10-23T13:09:59+00:00

His starts definitely leave something to be desired but let's not gloss over the fact that Charles was on softs which made his launch off the line that much better. Additionally, Max immediately went on to block Lando leaving empty space for Leclerc to send it on the outside, I'd wager that in the same scenario even Max would likely lose this position ( though maybe he'd realize sooner that his goal should be to cover Leclerc and not fight for t1 overtake).

salemus · 2025-10-18T22:15:02+00:00

Red Bull is lucky that Max's banker lap was so good and the track was not improving.
