Nintendo refuses to repair water damaged Switch 2 console in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Nintendo has a history of BS repair refusals.

I had an LCD failure on a GBA, they said it was dropped when it wasn't and I found photo evidence of a retail unit with the same size and shape failure.

They did fix it, but it was like pulling teeth.

He looks like the "I'm the captain now" meme in that photo.

Can the polygraph test be made more accurate ? Has anyone made a polygraph machine or any kind of machine that can detect whether a person is lying or not ? in c/askscience@lemmy.world

Not really, because it's not measuring if you're lying or not, it's measuring a stress reaction.

So if lying is like breathing to you (cough, Trump, cough) you can pass the test with flying colors.

OTOH if just the idea of a test stresses you out, it will say you're lying about the color of the sky.

Gotta say, I was tempted, but $13,000 and I'd need a truck to haul it and ramps to get it in and out.

I first heard about them in Last Chance to See where they are described not only as a bird who has forgotten how to fly, but they have forgotten that they have forgotten how to fly.

So if you startle one of the poor dears, they're liable to climb a tree and fling themselves out of it.

Keeps getting reported as "ableist", but I have to say, as a wheelchair user, it's not offensive.

The target is Greg Abbot, who happens to be in a wheelchair, not wheelchair users in general.

Reed needs to, ultimately, nullify that negotiating tactic. 😉
