  • Nintendo usually doesn’t do the right thing, but they kept the wii shop working for around 15 years after the console released, which seems reasonable enough, though for how much hosting costs they should still be offering downloads. IIRC you could store downloaded games on an SD cars so you could make a backup. Now the WiiU and 3DS, their online stuff shuttered too early. If I had bought Mariokart 8 digitally for my WiiU and wanted to redownload it, I would be unable, yet Nindendo still sells the same game on their newer switch store. The only Nintendo games I can say I own are the ones decrypted on my NAS that work with FOSS emulators.















  • I have one and opted for a Oneplus 6 running postmarketOS because of the pinephone’s many shortcomings:

    • Terrible battery life when on, though can last on standby
    • Phone has terrible performance. It is frustrating to do basic tasks because it is too slow.
    • It gets uncomfortably hot when using it.

    Some things I liked:

    • Screen was fine
    • All the phone hardware features work (unlike my op6)
    • Plastic back makes the phone pretty rugged.

    I might have stayed with the pinephone if it was more powerful like the pro, and might have brought a battery bank so I don’t have to worry about running out.
