Afaik, this is not possible yet. There hasn’t been a way to bypass the security measures yet, unlike with the bug in the tegra chip of the switch, or the exploit for the ps5 (or 4?) that got well known recently. Until such time, what you’re looking to do is borderline impossible.

As a german, I’m glad germany lost because this entire circus ends early

Yeah my corgi that is fucking afraid of everything, like jackets, cats, plastic sacks and so on, adores fire works. I have no idea what’s wrong with the fucking animal.

what’s being eliminated here is choice

But you never had a choice from the beginning when it comes to consoles. Even if you obtained a physical copy, you only could play these games on their systems and they can in theory revoke the license at any given point for any reason, making the disc a useless brick. The console ecosystem has always been under the boot of the company that “controls” the hardware.

The only time where these devices were fundamentally free was when there was a way to root them and extract data from them, like the switch jailbreak for older versions of the switch.

Killing off DVD/BR because we have streaming now means that streaming services can jack up prices because there’s no alternatives

Or you just don’t watch these shows. It’s honestly that simple. Streaming isn’t a universal human right that you need to survive. Quit streaming services. Obtain older shows on DVD that you haven’t seen.

It just sucks to see more and more evidence of the boot stepping down on our necks.

The digital world has never been more free than today tho. You have an incredibly competitive free operating system, you have a ton of great open source software for almost anything you can imagine, you can literally free yourself from the boot TODAY.

It’s just the willingness that is lacking for many as it seems. Many people want the luxury of a free world, but are unwilling to sacrifice something for it. Which I think is very sad.

Guess there will be some exploit to root the switch 2, just as we had with the switch 1. Then we can dump digital roms and still own them, independent from the company.

I know this might get me a lot of hate on here, but I don’t really care and I don’t understand why people are this upset about it. I can’t remember the last time I bought physical media, nor do I know anyone that has. And most games that are released on physical media are unplayable anyways without the obligatory 40GB day one patch - making the entire concept of physical media pointless.

So yeah, idk if people are actually upset about this or if this is just a big outrage over nothing if I’m honest. But maybe I’m just too PC-pilled in my free and open source ecosystem to realize the struggles of living under the boot of a corporation that removes stuff you paid for at will lmaooo.

Yeah, used to. But people figured out years ago that old copies of pokemon go for 100€+ on ebay so they are basically hunting every thrift store or flea markets for elderly mothers who sell their sons stuff who moved out 10 years ago and hasn’t bothered picking his old stuff up.

Hat bisschen was von nem Boomer-Meme muss ich sagen.

The code has been generated in it’s entirety with an LLM, as I am not a software developer

What’s the point then? There is countless expense management software. Completely stupid tbh.

Stop vibe coding. It makes you stupid and you don’t learn anything with it.

Most of our fuel rods came from russia.

Idk about that, but even if, but uranium is fairly abundant in the earth, more than gold or silver. Getting it from somewhere else is not a big deal.

nuclear is prohibitively expensive

Upfront, absolutely. But cost drop dramatically with life time of the plant.

uninsureable

That’s wrong. Nuclear Power Plants are incredibly safe. The security standards are immense and if everything is done by the books, nothing will happen.

Fukushima was a problem of risk assessment and massive complacency about procedures, where fundamental security protocols were ignored to “safe some money”. Also, building a nuclear power plant in an area that is facing tsunamis almost regularly was pretty dumb. And Chernobyl was a case of “What happens if we experiment with that hot rock we know nothing about?”

and has unanswered questions regarding permanent waste storage.

Yes, but it’s no longer as much of a problem. We’ve gotten really damn good at reusing burnt out fuel rods. I think we’re able to reuse like 60% of the burnt out fuel rods, dramatically lowering the waste we produce. And I once read about a theoretical processing method that could be able to reuse 95% of the rods, making the waste almost negligible. Even tho that processing method hasn’t been put to the test yet afaik.

Renewables are the answer

Probably not for germany. We don’t fulfill the requirements for widely used renewable power.

• Solar is the first choice, we’d need absurd amounts of space for solar panels. Also, it’s obviously only available during the day, making batteries necessary. And I mean a LOT of fucking batteries.
• Wind is great and widely available in the north of germany - but that doesn’t help the south. Moving power from north germany to south germany is incredibly inefficient and wasteful. Also has the battery problem.
• Hydro is cool, where available. Just bad that it’s barely available. Same with geothermal.
• Leaves us with biomass, which is a nice supplement to the power grid to use up waste from the agricultural sector - but it’s not going to carry germanies power needs in any meaningful way.

100% renewable energy is never going to be a thing for germany. It’s just a wishful thinking. We can’t magically produce vast amounts of power anywhere. We need a way to produce a reliable base load even in areas that are not in a great position for renewable power.

Nuclear is the best long term option we have.

What are you even talking about? There’s no such thing as “forced OS updates” on arch.

Who even gives a shit at this point. It’s almost laughable. The stock market creates money from thin air without any sensible valuations anymore. Could be a decidillionaire at this point and nothing would change.

Governments should really find a way to tax unrealised gains. Then this fiesta would end quickly.
