There’s no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that’s not what’s happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

To all my German fellas: This could literally be a Loriot sketch.

That would be really interesting, because it would mean they either emulate the game on switch 2 even though it is a special cartridge for the switch 2 edition, or they have some kind of universal binary that works on both (which I don’t think is possible without duplicating a lot).

It definitely won’t play Switch 2 games better. The hardware is roughly in the same ballpark performance wise, but the steam deck needs to emulate Switch 2 games.

Please, you can argue all you want against Nintendo, but just straight up lying really doesn’t help.

From what people have gathered, the CPU calls from Switch 1 games are converted to Switch 2 calls, and the GPU calls are emulated. Shaders are probably de- and recompiled for the new GPU.

What people forget is that GPUs are generally not binary compatible between generations, even from the same brand. That’s why PCs usually take time compiling shaders. On consoles, the games distribute the compiled shaders for the console, which means it won’t work on other GPUs without emulation.

I’m not an expert on game development, so please correct me if I misunderstood something.

Currently catching up on Fire Emblem Engage! Loved Three Houses a lot, but from the media reception I already knew Engage wouldn’t be as good as 3H. And indeed, the story is mediocre compared to it. However, I still like the FE gameplay anyways, so it’s just been fun!

Some games will be getting free updates for that, yes.

Then buy second hand

I didn’t even know they’re roughly the same size, and I’m German. What Mercator projection do to a man.

But don’t spread the bird flu pls.

Photons get absorbed and then re-emitted. I’d argue that counts as emission as it’s one part of the reflection process.

They would still emit real photons, just reflected ones.

I’m noticing in these comments that the tech bros that want to solve climate change by magical technological advances instead of using what we have had an interesting effect: some people on the other side have grown tired of the real technological advances that would actually help.

As far as I know, the current plans for fusion require deuterium and tritium. Whole deuterium can be easily obtained from water, tritium is a bigger problem. Its replacement, helium-3, is also not really frequent on earth.

I’m pretty sure the reason for that is that the sun is actually mostly not hot enough to do nuclear fusion, but has to instead rely on quantum tunnelling. This makes the fusion rate much, much lower. Now while this is good, because otherwise, the sun would burn up far too quickly and kill all of us, it also explains the low power, or energy per time.

After opening the emoji picker, press in the emoticon in the bottom right. Should be right between GIF and backspace.

The EU disallowed it and Meta had to pay a fine for sharing data between Facebook and Instagram. So I hope it won’t happen.

Gboard actually has them built in ᕙ⁠(⁠＠⁠°⁠▽⁠°⁠＠⁠)⁠ᕗ

And then you start using Gauß and natural units and are completely confused.
