Aren't these issues that Nintendo has to solve to maintain compliance with modern compatibility laws, rather than roadblocks for them to use to inhibit consumer ease-of-use? If the wattage is wrong then the Switch 2 can say that and either slow charge or not charge at all. The other issues are all purely user preference.

Many people will not pay much attention to the opinion of the average Reddit user these days.

Deservedly. But the HN audience is generally on the other side of the median of the IQ distribution than Reddit’s.

Believing this in any way is it's own evidence of it being untrue.

I think you'd fit right in on r/Gifted.

"drops" is unclear here - it could mean either "publishes" or "retracts"

Yes but not to the same extent. Professional, paid moderators following a centrally-defined set of rules are going to act differently to terminally-online volunteer mods.

Good luck actually getting them to do something. Also "Europe" is an entire continent with many different countries and laws, you might want to be more specific.

I reported a brand of baby formula that made our kid very sick, in light of the contamination of fish oil. Not even a week later they had gone to the shop and tested the batch.

Cynicism about public institutions is overrated.

Gee, I wonder what the difference between "dangerous killer baby formula" and "marketing tactic I don't like" is

The difference isn’t nil, but the point is that these institutions can be quite effective.

I’ve reported issues to the DPA (Data Protection Agency) of Belgium and they handled it reasonably well, which I didn’t expect either.

Marketing tactics are part of consumer issues and many countries seem to have good consumer protection laws. Of course Grammarly’s issue was towards/against a business, and that colours the problem. I think the damage to their reputation is enough punishment, but there might be other ways to tackle this.

I merely fail to see the point of “oh well, the Humanity, what can we do”. Apathy is death.

I added "in you jurisdiction" on purpose.

You can't vote for your own country so Australian bedtime is irrelevant.

> It's a missed opportunity for the digital soverignty the EU says it so badly needs. The code for a government backed WhatsApp competitor is there, in multiple instances even. Launch a WhatsApp clone and put all governement communication through it so everyone has to have it installed, and you have an instant EU-wide userbase. From there, people will naturally start to use it between themselves.

I think you have completely misjudged how much the majority of people would not want to use an EU-controlled chat app.

> Those are both hilarious to me.

Why is it hilarious to believe that the industry leader might be better at something than doing it yourself?

The hilarious part is more the absurdity and cognitive disconnect experienced when reading about serious evaluations that went in a completely opposite direction to those directly participated in.

I never had dry eyes until I got laser eye surgery. Some mornings I wake up with a very sore dry left eye.

One thing that helps with fatigue was to get some very weak glasses that I use when I'm working at a computer. They just make my eyes much more relaxed.

What does "LCOE" stand for?

Levelized cost of electricity. All the costs that go into producing from a given source (capex and opex) divided by the total power generated.

> All the costs that go into producing from a given source (capex and opex) divided by the total power generated

... total energy generated.

Good catch! One of my own biggest pet peeves too

Perhaps Low Cost Of Electricity?

I'm not asking for guesses thank you (especially if they turn out to be incorrect).

I stand corrected and educated.

Your sibling comment is right. It stands for Levelized Cost Of Electricity.
