  • Generic models are not ready yet and won’t ever be but my company is using something from AWS called “Q” I think (heh, great name this day in age) but because it performs training rounds (*I think!) on a set of documents you define (like process documentation) its actually pretty good at finding exactly the information and suggesting additional reading. We’re using it on a process guide of a couple hundred pages; not sure how it scales to other sizes or what the cost is.










  • When I was growing up, my parents had a set of spoons that not only looked nice, worked well, felt good in hand, etc but they also stacked perfectly in the drawer. I mean sure they were easy to knock over but they would self-align with a little pinch of the pile to line them up. The forks did it too.

    I’ve never seen a set like that again and I’ve been chasing that dragon for 35 years


  • It’s like a virtual license file for a game. It’s basically the same system as before but now you can trade them with people on your friends lists.

    People with kids: be sure to set parental controls on this before your kids are bullied into sending away all the games you bought them

    WDIT: I see the article is not actually about the virtual key cards but the physical ones. This is a game cert without the game on it, just the license file. You still have to download it.

    Honestly I think that fucking sucks because they can just take it away from you.


  • Couple things there.

    There are Virtual Game Cards, purchased and downloaded digitally from the eShop. These can now be traded, sold, gifted, loaned, etc. to other friends, which was not previously possible. (This could possibly require an NSO subscription, but I’m not clear if that’s true at all.)

    There are physical game cartridges, which contain the actual game on them, and (from what I’ve heard) most games will be distributed this way.

    Then, there are also physical carts that contain only the virtual game license file, thus that you have to possess the physical cart in order to download or play the game. Apparently, there are Switch 1 games like this already, but they are rare.

    With the introduction of Virtual Game Cards, it is no longer possible (even on Switch 1) to play more than one copy of a game online at the same time, even with a min NSO Family subscription.




  • The problem now is living with someone who doesn’t do this and then you expect it to be balanced because you take the time and effort to be precise as a show of appreciation for the others around you so they don’t befall the same fate that YOU now must suffer as you discover the eggs are now unbalanced and they spill all over the floor, because they didn’t happen to hyper focus these exact thoughts and how could they be so inconsiderate after you put in so much effort to focus on this to prevent this exact situation

    Bro life is too exhausting wtf
