What do you see as "general" topics? And why wouldn't tech talks be a part of it?

If you design a product to be intentionally difficult to repair, using subpar parts, is it not planned obsolescence? I really don't get what you are about there. Unless you require some sort of an internal clock to force brick the device to be considered planned?

Everything else is correct and I agree.

What it reeks of is Nintendo wanting to make things cheap and sell you multiple of them

That's the "apple like" planned obsolesence part I was refering to. Think about airpods for example.

The teardown doesn't touch on part serialization, although the ability to brick your device if they "feel like it" is on PAR with Apple.

Although I'm not sure we should be arguing about which of the two is shittier when both are already deep in non compliance of "modern right to repair regulations (lmao)"

The switch 2 gives out complete apple vibes. It's repairability is pretty horrid after watching the teardown guide.

Controllers will fail sooner or later and will have to be replaced. Here it will end up replacing the whole stick just due to glueing small parts of the controller.

Battery will also fail sooner than later. The whole thing yells planned absolesence...

Why would elon want boy-pre-pussy?

Yet another chimpout...

Let it all burn!

Wasn't the episode about US voting system being systematically flawed, and bashing the general populus for keeping up the status quo?

You can sell GPL software, even without any changes. The less permission part would be "You want to close-source it and not contribute back? Go ahead!"

It's Russias way to keep the soviet legacy intact and justify it's war of aggression to "denazify" Ukraine. There is a huge cultural shift of breaking off any remnants of Soviet "glory" in the country. Sadly it's hidden behind a lot of valid points, that would explain the abstain votes.

5. Expresses deep concern about increased frequency of attempts and activities intended to desecrate or demolish monuments erected in remembrance of those who fought against Nazism during the Second World War, as well as to unlawfully exhume or remove the remains of such persons, and in this regard urges States to fully comply with their relevant obligations, inter alia, under article 34 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 194

Clearly designed to enforce Russian rethoric and force the glorification of USSR. Not surprised it's voted against by Ukraine.
