Refinement, probably

Maybe it takes effort to maintain, takes effort to activate, etc?

It's not like athletes stop training after winning competitions

Define damage. Can it pass through the middle of organs? Sure, if it hits just right. But that's not so much a question of speed.

You'd need a pin needle shape to have a chance of piercing an organ without causing lasting damage, but it will probably break on impact

The market can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent

Official moderation is often worse than in community forums, lol. Overbearing in censored words, while not being active enough against abusive players.

That argument is absolute bullshit.

It's not like anybody demands Microsoft must protect you from mean words if you connect Outlook to some random mail server. Games are no different.

The Gameboy Advance could connect to a GameCube and Wii (both as a controller and to link games), GBC and N64 had the transfer pak

IMHO that was the best era of games, besides the NDS. I absolutely want the return of mobile + stationary modes in games, especially local multiplayer games. The GBA could for example show private game state to its player when used as a controller for a GameCube game! And you could bring your characters to your friend's games without needing an Amiibo, you just linked your consoles together.

Look how far this dude went to recreate it;

So the term you want to look for is telescoping controller, when you'll use it with a foldable.

Something like this one would be perfect with a Razr for DS emulation (but beware you have to check minimum supported width too for a clamshell foldable);

Galaxy Fold running Nintendo DS emulator, with theme

If you have a split game controller, I recommend using that over touchscreen controls. And using a controller like this plays better with a vertically aligned foldable phone (clamshell) rather than the pseudo-tablet sideways foldables, as you fully recreate the original physical controller layout

Some of the things make sense, but overall I agree.

3D display simply died, everybody did it for a while but so few things used it well that it wasn't worth the cost (especially since it hurts quality unless you can get the player to use special glasses).

You could use touchscreen compatible stylus, but no extra features connected to it.

Definitely miss analog triggers, which also hurts emulation (GameCube). Something streetpass-like could've been put in the mobile app (which also is way too limited and supported by too few games).

Absolutely miss customization too.

Gen 1 Switch should also already have gotten a top side USB C port - with support for accessories like a camera + mic (which wouldn't have necessarily been built in, but supported).

Switch 2 could benefit so much from better local discovery especially now that it has GameShare, you could have it passively advertise supported games so you could discover opportunities to play even games you don't have (much like how Download Play used to work on the Nintendo DS and GBA)

You don't even math modulo 42 do you?

Interesting paper co-authored by Airbus cryptographer Erik-Oliver Blass on using zero-knowledge proofs in flight control systems.

Sensors would authenticate their measurements, the control unit provides in each iteration control outputs together with a proof of output correctness (reducing the need in some cases for redundant computations), and actuators verify that outputs have been correctly computed

"The GSM Association announced that the latest RCS standard includes E2EE based on the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, enabling interoperable encryption between different platform providers for the first time"

 

HQC gets standardized, as an addition to ML-KEM (kyber). McEliece is out of the NIST process for two reasons, they consider it unlikely to be widely used, also ISO is considering standardizing it and they don't want to create an incompatible standard. If ISO does standardize it and it does see use, NIST is considering mirroring that standard (since lots of US agencies are bound to using NIST standards)
