Yes please:

Internet speed record of 420,000,000 Mbps achieveddownload Baldur's Gate 3 in less than four milliseconds

The team in question is Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (via Fudzilla) and it didn't use any weird tech or microscopic distances in a lab—50 km of commercially available optical fibres and signal amplifiers were employed in the test. At an estimated peak rate of 402 Tbps or 50.25 TB/s, it's approximately 25% higher than the previous record, set last October.

Started listening to the latest GU podcast a couple of days ago, had lots of things to say.  Listened the last part today.  Forgot al the points I wanted to make.

You probably didn't miss out on much though.  Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed listening.

Thank you for listening, in my opinion the last two shows have been worth listening to Happy

Well, our original Switch is officially a handheld no more.  I wanted to play some Splatoon3 on it today, and it went from 100% to 15% in 5 minutes.

And now for the question of what to do.  Do we just accept this as our new reality?  Do I try to swap out the battery myself?  Do I send it in and pay god knows how much to have it replaced?

[videogameschronicle.com]Nintendo has officially ended Wii U repair support Support graduates to "F" U

That is unfortunate.  Our WiiU has been unusable for years now.  I keep promising my son we'll buy a new one, but never got around to it.  Perhaps I shouldn't delay this any longer.

Well. I think if the cost of repair is less than 45% of a new one you have it repaired. If more, get a new one as a hedge that the Switch 2 won't be backward compatible.

In this market they are relatively lowly priced right now. I'd get one before that changes.  I hung onto mine for now as a way to play Wii and gamecube games via HDMI.

Nintendo should repair my Wii U pad's thumb stick rubber coating. Both feel sticky AF. I thought it was just my controller until a few weeks ago, John on DF mentioned the same issue.

I walked my dog for a couple hours yesterday morning and then settled in and played Gran Tursimo 7 the rest of the day; around 6-7 hours. I figured my wrists would be hurting bad this morning but they are fine. I played with rumble off, so maybe that helped.

Sounds like a fun day. I honestly miss the days that I can sit down and just get lost in a game world for hours. It happens every once in a while but it's extremely rare these days.

Played so much Snowrunner I got wrist pain.

Snowrunner joins Animal Crossing and Harvest moon in a short list of games that gave me physical pain.
