Such a shame to see what seemed like a great alternative to Gmail under such management.
I'm sure a lot of customers don't go through the hassle of having Nintendo replace their controller or simply don't know about the policy and just buy a new one.
They did replacement for the original Switch, not sure if it will still be the case for the new one. Besides, there is no way they don't know about hall effect sticks, yet they went with the older tech. Which means they made a business decision based on what would make them the more money, and not what would be the most resilient parts.
Thanks for the heads up ! I had no idea (and can't find where the settings for this are ^ ^ ^' )
How else would they sell you new joycons every 2 years for 80 bucks a piece ?
Where did you get that number from? It doesn't appear in the article. Not that I oppose your proposal mind you, on the contrary : I think 50 times is still way too much of a differential.
8bitdo are very good indeed. Gulikit is a worthy challenger with their KK series or Zen pro controllers. Same Bluetooth and 2.4g, replacable switches with mechanical option, hall effect joysticks and triggers, and good customer support with available spare parts and firmware updates.
He has to wear it to remind everyone, else no-one would ever believe he once was in the Marines. As a military journalist.
From the article :
"The US has now recorded over 300 measles cases just three months into 2025, exceeding the yearly case counts for all years after 2019."
It's a five year high yet we're only comparing 2.5 months to full years. Just give it time...
MK8D would be perfect if only battle mode wasn't such a mess. If they could just take MK64 battle mode and implement it exactly as is in MK8D, it would be perfection.
Ah oui, les pesticides chimiques, par opposition aux pesticides non chimiques ? 😒
There's a variant of AZERTY devised by the AFNOR ( french standardisation agency) that improves on a lot of ways on the legacy AZERTY, by grouping accents, parentheses, quote marks, etc. and making keys combinations a lot less common. It would be quite easier to learn than standard AZERTY, and it's quite easy to learn for regular AZERTY users too. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to find a keyboard or even keycaps with the corresponding markings. Drivers are available by following the link if you want to try it for yourself.
It looks like this :
As for myself, I touch type in French on a QWERTY keyboard with an AZERTY letters layout, because even legacy AZERTY keycaps are not that common, and neither are ISO enthusiast segment keyboards.
