Do your issues appear on a fresh install? At my admittedly limited level of expertise, I'd probably start from there. If a clean install works properly, then something that's happening later is messing it up. You'd have to keep track of changes you make to your system and check for issues as you go.

If a clean install is borked from the get-go, maybe try different distros. Since Framework supports Fedora, I'm surprised that anything would go wrong.

I don't know if Framework offers any support or warranty, but you could check with them too.

Bad news, Minnesota is shrinking.

I reserve my right to complain.

I am surprised that they didn't just do away with it entirely. I don't think it would have hurt their bottom line. This is somehow worse IMO. They'll charge you more money for physical media that doesn't even have the entire game on it. It's like they want people to know that they're being slapped in the face.

Yeah shifting production to the US is much more complicated than just making it more expensive to import things. Even when it's on goods that can be produced here, I'm skeptical that any of these tariffs will result in increased production here.

I am genuinely surprised that they're suggesting physical games that act as keys for digital downloads. What is the point of getting a physical cartridge if you can't play the whole game offline? I guess they're just trying to kill physical media, and this is the first step in this direction.

Some people don't ultimately give in, or so I thought. I don't know what the science says on torture.

Also, it's good to draw it out for as long as possible. If you give a thief infinite time and resources they can break any lock, but it is still worth it to invest in security to draw out the process. The same logic applies to this. It may just be enough time to await rescue.

Software is the leading cause of all computer viruses.

I am on Firefox for Android, and I got a pop-up asking for my location. Then it redirected me to the homepage.

They are the only real family oriented console AFAIK. At least on PC, there isn't a huge emphasis on local coop. This makes a steam deck a harder sell to people just looking for the casual family games. Nintendo on the other hand is committed to releasing games like this with every generation, and they don't seem big on games with a restrictive age rating. I'm sure that wins points with parents.

I'd love to tell families that they should just buy a steam deck, but I don't know if it's the right choice TBH.

Does it make sense? Emulation is going to happen one way or another. If Nintendo sold a GC controller that is PC compatible, they'd at least make some money from those buyers.

I guess they don't want your money if you're not buying the switch. Strange move, but I guess it's their prerogative to alienate more consumers.
