He/him.
This makes me think it’ll be difficult, and inconvenient to use these type of cards. Companies actually know when you’re misusing an ID (see Apple with Beeper Mini), and act accordingly. Unless there’s a way to play disconnected from the internet (and you don’t update your console), it’ll be a pita to keep these type of card from being blocked.
I guess they learned a lesson from R4… So, they just need to have a DB of IDs tied to IPs. If an ID starts repeating a lot with different IPs (distributed around the world), they can clearly block at will. These kind of developments may be difficult to keep alive, then. Well, caveat emptor, I guess.
I hope Nintendo doesn’t implement something that forces you to check every game (including cartridges) against a server, because that will ruin cartridges forever. Or simply remove cartridges in the next console and everything is a digital download. They’re not fans of these kind of devices… :/
Edit: The card looks cool, though…
Exactly.
By the year, I think this was before there was even an App Store (first generation iPhone was launched at the end of June, 2007). Jobs really believed in web apps, but the original iPhone had no power to handle them correctly, and a lot of the APIs that we have now were unthinkable at the time. I was just trying to be funny, really. :P
Steve Jobs in 2007:
The full Safari engine is inside of iPhone. And so, you can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone. And these apps can integrate perfectly with iPhone services. They can make a call, they can send an email, they can look up a location on Google Maps.
And guess what? There’s no SDK that you need! You’ve got everything you need if you know how to write apps using the most modern web standards to write amazing apps for the iPhone today. So developers, we think we’ve got a very sweet story for you. You can begin building your iPhone apps today.
Admit it, the man was a visionary… XDDDDD
Just in case: /s
Seeing at how bad Japanese car manufacturers are at producing good electric cars, and how they may be replaced by Chinese companies, maybe they mean they’ll be bankrupt by 2050… :P
I’m pretty sure different countries or regions may have different mechanisms. I’m still amazed at the ability yo move large amounts inside the US, as you have states that almost qualify as tax havens. Guess the US government is not concerned. I still find it interesting.
So, you’re telling me in the US you can move a million dollars in a transaction and no one will bat an eye? Holy money laundering, Batman! :O
Edit: Btw, this reminds me of a guy that was doing crypto transactions from unknown origin (and not huge quantities, in the thousands) and had his accounts frozen by the bank because authorities wanted to investigate where the money was coming from. But I think he was in the UK. I’m amazed that you can move money that easily in the US…
A human would get involved to verify the sale
And probably, more than one. When you start moving large amounts of money, a lot of people start paying attention: banks want to know why you’re taking that money away from their institution, tax agencies want to know if you’re paying the taxes you’re supposed to, and security agencies want to know if everything is legal and you’re not involved in something fishy.
So, if you actually have the money and the transaction is not immediately rejected as an error, you are probably going to be asked a few questions. Unless you’re someone who regularly deals in such things. Bank have ways to detect unusual types of transactions from an account.
If you don’t have the money, it’ll probably just be classified as an error.
“I swear, it’s just one more road. One more and that’s it. Promise!” XDDDD
For all I’ve read, the lack of public transportation in US cities (or the badly managed ones) is by design, influenced on politicians by the car industry lobby.
I guess it’s the same for zoning laws? I’ve no idea, and I’m probably not exactly true, as I’m stating a huge generalization. The US is so big and diverse that there may be places with good public infrastructure.
But in a broader sense, it seems that the car lobby played a big role in how cities were designed and run.
If it’s just text (paperback novels), digital. If it has some illustrations, or is a comic or an art book, physical. Same for technical books with diagrams: physical. I don’t have an iPad or a large ebook to appreciate graphic content in the same way as in a physical book. I have no problems reading novels off my phone, on the other hand.
The initial sky island is as easy as the beginning of BotW. The initial constructs are easy to defeat (a few hits with a branch, and they’re gone).
I think by the time you jump to the surface, you’re expected to know how to fuse weapons. This will give you an advantage, and makes enemies easier to defeat. But if you don’t fuse weapons and play the game like in BotW, it becomes really hard, since enemies are designed to be attacked with stronger, fused weapons.
The depths adds another layer, as there you find resources that will make defeating enemies extremely easy: bomb flowers, muddle buds and puffshrooms are extremely useful when used strategically. As long as you avoid large enemies and bosses, the depths difficulty level is not hard. But again, you need to use fused weapons.
The main point, in my opinion, is understanding the new mechanics you can use, and play the game using them, and not like you played in BotW. It’s really a different game in a lot of aspects, specially combat.
Edit: Oh, I almost forgot: in TotK, you have the help of the sages avatars. Contrary to BotW, this game is designed to play with them, and not completely alone. A lot of people just dismiss the avatars and go alone against enemies, but this game is designed to have them around you almost always. If you’re not using them, try summoning them and having them by your side always. They help a lot.
I guess if the Earth was a sentient being, it would hate the guts out of humans… :P
The signs are there for all to see…
What challenges? They’re doing FINE! /s
Public transport is not a simple matter. You have different modes: buses, trains, trams, subways, monorails, etc. The best solution depends on the city population, density, distribution as well as geography. In Europe, a lot of small cities and towns are walkable, so there’s no need for public transport (at least, surface one), and in some cases, subways are not feasible, or too expensive.
But for most big cities, yes, prioritizing public transport is the way to go. We need to change this car-centric mentality, because it’s not sustainable. But it’s not the only problem big cities have at the moment.
With time, you end up realizing that you gain nothing from these interactions, so it’s best to ignore them, and focus on those that make your life better.
No matter if it’s the internet or real life, life’s too short to waste it on meaningless discussion with stupid people, they won’t change and you’ll only waste time.
Use your time and energy in meaningful things, and try to be a happier person.
This is one of the best options, specially if you finished studying, or are an older person. You’ll be surrounded by people that share an interest in similar things as you.
