  • Honestly, I’ve been thinking about those notification settings on the Switch 2 lately. You know, the ones that are supposed to enhance your gaming experience or whatever. Sometimes, I just want to play without being bombarded by notifications. It’s like, do I really need to know what everyone is doing all the time?

    Sure, I get that some people enjoy staying connected and knowing all the latest updates from friends. But when you’re deep into a game, the last thing you want is a ping interrupting your epic quest. I guess that’s where tweaking those notification settings comes in.

    You could turn off some notifications or even reduce the number you receive. That might help keep the distractions to a minimum. But honestly, it’s a bit of a hassle to go through all those settings. I mean, who has the energy for that? Just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap instead of adjusting my Switch 2.

    Anyway, I know it’s probably a good idea to customize the notifications for a better experience. But sometimes, I feel like I’d rather just let things be. A few less notifications might make it easier to dive into a game without losing focus. But hey, if you’re like me and can’t be bothered, that’s fine too.

    At the end of the day, it’s all about finding that balance. You don’t want to miss out on important updates, but you also don’t want your game time interrupted. So, maybe just do whatever feels right for you. Or don’t. It’s all the same, really.

    Your Switch 2 Has Notification Settings You Should Tweak For A Better Experience
    Personally, I usually like receiving notifications about things so I know what’s up with the people in my life. But if you’re playing an immersive game on your fancy new Nintendo Switch 2, you may want to ensure there are no distractions. In that cas

  • In a world where 3D printing has become the new frontier of human achievement, it appears that our beloved gadgets are not just printing our wildest dreams, but also a symphony of snaps and crackles that would make even the most seasoned sound engineer weep. Enter the Prunt Printer Firmware—a name that sounds like it was born out of an intense brainstorming session involving too much caffeine and too little sleep.

    Let’s face it, for ages now, Marlin has been the undisputed champion of firmware for custom 3D printers, akin to that one friend who always gets picked first in gym class. But wait! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Klipper slides into the ring, offering some serious competition. Think of Klipper as the underdog in a sports movie—full of potential but still figuring out whether it should be hitting its rivals hard or just trying not to trip over its own laces.

    Now, onto the real magic: controlling the charmingly chaotic duo of Snap and Crackle. It’s almost poetic, isn’t it? You finally invest in a 3D printer, dreaming of creating intricate models, only to have it serenade you with a cacophony reminiscent of a breakfast cereal commercial gone horribly wrong. But fear not! The Prunt Printer Firmware is here to save the day—because who doesn't want their printer to sound like a caffeinated squirrel rather than a well-oiled machine?

    Embracing the Prunt Firmware is like adopting a pet rock. Sure, it’s different, and maybe it doesn’t do much, but it’s unique and, let’s be honest, everyone loves a conversation starter. With Prunt, you can finally rest assured that your 3D printer will not only produce high-quality prints but will also keep Snap and Crackle under control! It’s like having a built-in sound engineer who’s only slightly less competent than your average barista.

    And let’s not overlook the sheer genius of this firmware’s name. “Prunt”? It’s catchy, it’s quirky, and it’s definitely a conversation starter at parties—if you’re still invited to parties after dropping that knowledge bomb. “Oh, you’re using Marlin? How quaint. I’ve upgraded to Prunt. It’s the future!” Cue the blank stares and awkward silence.

    In conclusion, if you’ve ever dreamt of a world where your 3D printer operates smoothly and quietly, devoid of the musical stylings of Snap and Crackle, perhaps it’s time to throw caution to the wind and give Prunt a whirl. After all, in the grand saga of 3D printing, why not add a dash of whimsy to your technical woes?

    Let’s embrace the chaos and let Snap and Crackle have their moment—just as long as they’re under control with Prunt Printer Firmware. Because in the end, isn’t that what we all really want?

  • Je suis vraiment exaspéré par la tendance actuelle à faire du marketing pour des consoles de jeux qui ne peuvent tout simplement pas rivaliser avec la nostalgie et la magie de la Sony PSP. Oui, vous avez bien entendu, rien ne sera jamais aussi cool que la PSP, et je suis fatigué d'entendre les discours sur le Switch 2 comme si c'était la seconde venue de Jésus en matière de jeux vidéo. C'est presque insultant pour ceux d'entre nous qui ont grandi avec la PSP, une console qui a redéfini le portatif et a marqué une génération entière de joueurs.

    La Sony PSP n'était pas simplement un gadget ; c'était une expérience. Une expérience qui a fusionné la portabilité avec une puissance graphique qui, à l'époque, était révolutionnaire. Je me souviens encore des heures passées à jouer à "God of War: Chains of Olympus" tout en voyageant, une véritable prouesse technique pour l'époque. Et maintenant, on nous dit que le Switch 2 va tout balayer sur son passage ? Allons donc ! Comparer ces deux consoles est un affront à l'héritage de la PSP. Le Switch 2, malgré toutes ses promesses, ne sera jamais en mesure de capturer l'essence de ce qui faisait de la PSP une console emblématique.

    Et parlons des jeux – oui, le Switch a peut-être quelques titres phares, mais en termes de variété et d'innovation, il est loin derrière la PSP qui a apporté des classiques inoubliables comme "Daxter" et "Lumines". Pourquoi devrions-nous nous contenter de remakes et de suites quand la PSP nous a offert une bibliothèque riche et diversifiée ? La nostalgie est belle, mais elle ne devrait pas être une excuse pour ignorer les réalités de l'innovation vidéoludique.

    Je suis furieux que les fans de Nintendo semblent avoir oublié ce que signifie vraiment être un joueur. Nous ne sommes pas là pour juste nous contenter de ce que l'on nous sert ; nous voulons de la qualité, de l'innovation, et des expériences qui nous marquent à jamais. La PSP a su faire tout cela avec brio, et je ne comprends pas comment on peut envisager que le Switch 2, avec ses limitations techniques et son approche peu inspirante, puisse rivaliser avec ce chef-d'œuvre du jeu vidéo.

    Alors, réveillez-vous, les fans ! Arrêtez de vous laisser berner par le battage médiatique autour du Switch 2. Rappelez-vous de la Sony PSP et de la magie qu'elle a apportée dans nos vies. Rien ne sera jamais aussi cool que cela, et c'est un fait que nous devons défendre avec fierté. Nous ne devons pas laisser l'histoire se répéter avec des consoles qui n'apportent rien de nouveau. Il est temps de faire entendre notre voix et d'exiger plus de la part de l'industrie du jeu vidéo.

  • Non posso credere che nel 2023 ci sia ancora gente che si illude di poter "restaurare" l'amore per il design della stampa. Questo articolo, intitolato "Questo straordinario giornale ha ripristinato la mia storia d'amore con il design della stampa", è l'ennesimo tentativo stravagante di glorificare un formato che, in realtà, è obsoleto e superato. È ridicolo! La stampa è morta e sepolta, e chiunque pretenda il contrario sta vivendo in un’illusione.

    Il concetto che la Newspaper Club possa riportarci al "piacere semplice del design tattile" è una presa in giro. Seriamente? Tattile? Ma parliamo di un formato che si sfoglia, si strappa e si deteriora. Siamo nel 2023! Viviamo in un'era digitale in cui l'informazione è accessibile in un istante, eppure ci sono ancora persone che si crogiolano nei ricordi di una carta che ingiallisce e diventa polvere. La verità è che la nostalgia non giustifica la sofferenza di un design antiquato e poco pratico.

    E poi, cos'è questa storia di ritrovare l'amore per il design della stampa? Se pensi che il design di un giornale cartaceo possa competere con la fluidità, l'interattività e la bellezza del digitale, sei completamente fuori strada. La stampa non può e non deve essere romanticizzata. È frustrante vedere come gli sforzi per riportare in auge un formato superato vengano accolti con entusiasmo da chi non riesce a vedere oltre il proprio naso. Cos'è, il desiderio di tornare indietro nel tempo? È una follia!

    In un momento in cui il mondo si sta muovendo verso la sostenibilità e la riduzione dei rifiuti, promuovere la stampa è un colpo basso all'ambiente. Ogni pagina stampata è un albero abbattuto, ogni giornale è un passo indietro nella lotta contro il cambiamento climatico. Eppure, ci sono ancora individui che applaudono a queste "innovazioni" come se fossero qualcosa di rivoluzionario. Se la Newspaper Club vuole davvero restituirci un amore perduto, dovrebbe concentrarsi su come utilizzare le tecnologie moderne per rendere il design della comunicazione più sostenibile e accessibile, non su come riprodurre un'era che dovrebbe rimanere nel passato.

    Non possiamo più permetterci di affidarci a mezzi di comunicazione datati e inefficaci. È tempo di smettere di glorificare il passato e di abbracciare il futuro. La stampa non è mai stata l'unica forma di design e non dovrebbe essere presentata come una panacea per i nostri problemi di comunicazione odierni. Dobbiamo essere critici e non accontentarci di facili nostalgie. È ora di alzare la voce contro questa assurdità!

  • So, I guess if you’re wandering around Arrakis in Dune Awakening, you might be wondering where to find aluminum. Yeah, that’s a thing. It’s not like there’s much else to do on this barren planet, right? You log in, look around, and think, “Great, now I need to hunt for aluminum.” It’s one of those resources that everyone talks about, but honestly, it feels like a hassle just to gather it.

    You’ll probably want to check out some of the caves or maybe dig around in the sandy dunes. Apparently, there are a few spots that are known for having aluminum deposits. But, like, do you really want to spend your time doing that? I mean, it could be fun for a minute, but it’s mostly just running around in the sun, trying not to get eaten by giant sandworms or whatever.

    Also, it’s not like there are guides everywhere, so you’ll have to rely on word of mouth or whatever you can find on the internet. But who has the energy for that? You can end up wandering aimlessly, and let’s be real, that’s not the most exciting way to spend your game time.

    You might hear some players say they found aluminum near the Spice fields, but how reliable is that information? It’s like a game of telephone. One person sees something shiny, tells everyone, and then it turns out to be a rock or something. Classic.

    And when you finally do find aluminum, what’s next? You just sit there wondering what to do with it. Maybe you can craft some gear or trade it, but honestly, by that time, you’re probably just ready to log off and take a nap. I mean, who needs the stress of resource gathering on a planet like Arrakis?

    So, if you’re still interested in hunting for aluminum on Arrakis, good luck, I guess. Just don’t expect it to be the highlight of your gaming experience. More like a chore you’re obligated to do, rather than something that’ll get your adrenaline pumping.

  • Lars Wingefors, the CEO of Embracer Group, is stepping into the role of executive chair to "focus on strategic initiatives, M&A, and capital allocation." This move is both alarming and infuriating. Are we really supposed to cheer for a corporate leader who is shifting gears to prioritize mergers and acquisitions over the actual needs of the gaming community? It's absolutely maddening!

    Let’s break this down. Embracer Group has built a reputation for acquiring a myriad of game studios, but what about the quality of the games themselves? The focus on M&A is nothing more than a money-hungry strategy that overlooks the creativity and innovation that the gaming industry desperately needs. It's like a greedy shark swimming in a sea of indie creativity, devouring everything in its path without a second thought for the artistic value of what it's consuming.

    Wingefors claims that this new phase will allow him to focus on "strategic initiatives." What does that even mean? Is it just a fancy way of saying that he will be looking for the next big acquisition to line his pockets and increase his empire, rather than fostering the unique voices and talents that make gaming a diverse and rich experience? This is not just a corporate strategy; it’s a blatant attack on the very essence of what makes gaming enjoyable and transformative.

    Let’s not forget that behind every acquisition, there are developers and creatives whose livelihoods and passions are at stake. When a corporate giant like Embracer controls too many studios, we risk a homogenized gaming landscape where creativity is stifled in the name of profit. The industry is already plagued by sequels and remakes that serve to fill corporate coffers rather than excite gamers. We don’t need another executive chairperson prioritizing capital allocation over creative integrity!

    Moreover, this focus on M&A raises serious concerns about the future direction of the companies involved. Will they remain independent enough to foster innovation, or will they be reduced to mere cogs in a corporate machine? The answer seems obvious—unless we challenge this trend, we will see a further decline in the diversity and originality of games.

    Wingefors’s transition into this new role is not just a simple career move; it’s a signal of what’s to come in the gaming industry if we let executives prioritize greed over creativity. We need to hold corporate leaders accountable and demand that they prioritize the players and developers who make this industry what it is.

    In conclusion, the gaming community must rise against this corporate takeover mentality. We deserve better than a world where the bottom line trumps artistic expression. It’s time to stop celebrating these empty corporate strategies and start demanding a gaming landscape that values creativity, innovation, and the passion of its community.

  • Amazon Prime Day – encore une fois, cette farce déguisée en « journée de bonnes affaires » va se dérouler sous nos yeux ! Oui, les dates viennent de tomber, et comme toujours, il est temps de s'interroger sur l'absurdité de cette opération commerciale. Pourquoi devrions-nous nous soucier de ces soi-disant « offres » qui ne font qu'enrichir un géant déjà trop puissant ?

    Tout d'abord, parlons de la manipulation psychologique que représente Amazon Prime Day. Chaque année, les consommateurs sont poussés à croire qu'ils vont réaliser des économies incroyables. Mais la vérité, c'est que beaucoup de ces "offres" sont simplement des prix gonflés qui, à la fin, ne nous font pas économiser un centime. C'est un cirque où nous sommes les clowns, applaudissant à des rabais qui ne sont rien d'autre qu'une illusion créée pour nous faire sortir notre carte de crédit.

    De plus, cette pratique ne fait que renforcer le pouvoir de monopole d'Amazon sur le marché. Chaque clic que nous faisons sur leur site, chaque article que nous achetons, alimente une machine qui écrase les petites entreprises et les commerces locaux. Nous faisons des folies sur des produits qui, au fond, ne sont pas nécessaires. Pendant ce temps, les magasins de quartier ferment leurs portes, victimes d'une concurrence déloyale. Qui se soucie des conséquences sociales et économiques de nos dépenses impulsives lors de ces journées de soldes ? Personne, visiblement !

    Et parlons aussi de l'impact environnemental de ces achats en masse. Chaque produit commandé en ligne nécessite des ressources – de l'énergie pour le transport à la fabrication des emballages. Amazon, avec ses livraisons express, contribue à une augmentation considérable des émissions de carbone. Mais peu importe, tant que nous pouvons remplir notre panier avec des gadgets inutiles et des vêtements à bas prix, n'est-ce pas ?

    En fin de compte, il est temps que nous ouvrions les yeux sur cette mascarade. Amazon Prime Day n'est pas une célébration de l'économie, c'est une exploitation délibérée de notre cupidité. Au lieu de nous réjouir de ces « offres », nous devrions nous demander qui en profite vraiment. La réponse est simple : un petit groupe de milliardaires qui se moquent éperdument de nous.

    Alors, la prochaine fois que vous vous préparez pour cette semaine de « bonnes affaires », pensez à ce que vous soutenez. Il est grand temps de changer notre façon de consommer et de privilégier des choix éthiques et responsables. Refusons d'être des marionnettes dans le jeu d'Amazon !

    Amazon Prime Day – encore une fois, cette farce déguisée en « journée de bonnes affaires » va se dérouler sous nos yeux ! Oui, les dates viennent de tomber, et comme toujours, il est temps de s'interroger sur l'absurdité de cette opération commerciale. Pourquoi devrions-nous nous soucier de ces soi-disant « offres » qui ne font qu'enrichir un géant déjà trop puissant ? Tout d'abord, parlons de la manipulation psychologique que représente Amazon Prime Day. Chaque année, les consommateurs sont poussés à croire qu'ils vont réaliser des économies incroyables. Mais la vérité, c'est que beaucoup de ces "offres" sont simplement des prix gonflés qui, à la fin, ne nous font pas économiser un centime. C'est un cirque où nous sommes les clowns, applaudissant à des rabais qui ne sont rien d'autre qu'une illusion créée pour nous faire sortir notre carte de crédit. De plus, cette pratique ne fait que renforcer le pouvoir de monopole d'Amazon sur le marché. Chaque clic que nous faisons sur leur site, chaque article que nous achetons, alimente une machine qui écrase les petites entreprises et les commerces locaux. Nous faisons des folies sur des produits qui, au fond, ne sont pas nécessaires. Pendant ce temps, les magasins de quartier ferment leurs portes, victimes d'une concurrence déloyale. Qui se soucie des conséquences sociales et économiques de nos dépenses impulsives lors de ces journées de soldes ? Personne, visiblement ! Et parlons aussi de l'impact environnemental de ces achats en masse. Chaque produit commandé en ligne nécessite des ressources – de l'énergie pour le transport à la fabrication des emballages. Amazon, avec ses livraisons express, contribue à une augmentation considérable des émissions de carbone.

  • Ah, the magical world of 3D printing! Who would have thought that the secrets of crafting quality cosplay props could be unlocked with just a printer and a little patience? It’s almost like we’re living in a sci-fi movie, but instead of flying cars and robot servants, we get to print our own Spider-Man masks and Thor's hammers. Because, let’s face it, who needs actual craftsmanship when you have a 3D printer and a dash of delusion?

    Picture this: You walk into a convention, proudly wearing your freshly printed Spider-Man mask—its edges rough and its colors a little off, reminiscent of the last time you tried your hand at a DIY project. You can almost hear the gasps of admiration from fellow cosplayers, or maybe that’s just them trying to suppress their laughter. But hey, you saved a ton of time with that “minimal post-processing”! Who knew that “minimal” could also mean “looks like it was chewed up by a printer that’s had one too many?”

    And let’s not forget about Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir. Because nothing says “God of Thunder” quite like a clunky piece of plastic that could double as a doorstop. The best part? You can claim it’s a unique interpretation of Asgardian craftsmanship. Who needs authenticity when you have the power of 3D printing? Just make sure to avoid any actual thunder storms—after all, we wouldn’t want your new prop to melt in the rain, or worse, have it be mistaken for a water gun!

    Now, if you’re worried about how long it takes to print your masterpiece, fear not! You can always get lost in the mesmerizing whirl of the printer’s head, contemplating the deeper meaning of life while waiting for hours to see if your creation will actually resemble the image you downloaded from the internet. Spoiler alert: it probably won’t, but that’s part of the fun, right?

    Oh, and let’s not forget the joy of explaining to your friends that you “crafted” these pieces with care, while they’re blissfully unaware that you merely pressed a few buttons and hoped for the best. After all, why invest time in traditional crafting techniques when you can embrace the magic of technology?

    So, grab your 3D printer and let your imagination run wild! Who needs actual skills when you can print your dreams, layer by layer, with a side of mediocre results? Just remember, in the world of cosplay, it’s not about the journey; it’s about how many likes you can get on that Instagram post of you holding your half-finished Thor’s hammer like it’s the Holy Grail of cosplay.

  • Apple has been up to something again, I guess. They made a custom iPhone camera for the new 'F1' movie. Not sure why, but it seems they mounted this thing on Formula One cars for actual races. It's supposed to capture some racing scenes, or whatever.

    The camera uses an iPhone sensor and the A-series chip. Sounds fancy, but honestly, I don’t really care that much. I mean, sure, iPhone cameras are decent, but are they really necessary for F1? I can imagine the whole setup being a bit over the top. I guess it’s nice for filmmaking or whatever, but it feels like just another way to show off.

    They probably think this will make the racing scenes look super cool or something. But again, I wonder if anyone will actually notice or appreciate it while watching fast cars whiz by. Feels like a lot of fuss for something that might not even make a big difference.

    So, long story short, Apple is trying to be all innovative with this custom iPhone camera for the ‘F1’ movie. It’s on actual cars, and they think it will enhance the racing scenes. I don’t know, man. Sounds like something to make headlines, but will it really change anything? Maybe it will just be another tech gimmick.

    Anyway, that's all I got. Not much else to say about it, really. Just another day, another tech move that feels kinda unnecessary.
