Fair. That's got me wondering, perhaps if you're in a game with Joycon mouse support it might lock into mouse mode. One thing that annoys me about using a Joycon as a mouse is that you have to have it on a horizontal surface - I like using a mouse on all sorts of weird things and at different angles (eg curved sofa arms or my belly) and the Joycon doesn't work for this in UI menus.

Apparently according to other comments a mouse only works in games, but not in Switch UI menus. The Joycon works as a mouse in both.

I would think a wireless mouse and a wired mouse are functionally the same as far as the device connected to it is concerned. The USB dongle of the wireless mouse handles the wireless part and then delivers the same type of signals to the PC/host device that a wired mouse would.

Yeah it's definitely a different class of device. Did you see the mouse connected in any way, like as a controller, or did it just work in the right context (ie in game)?

I wonder if they did it out of some abundance of caution for security, out of fear that some 3rd party controller might find a way to hack the device.

Yeah, meanwhile the Joycon works in system UI, so you would think a regular mouse would also.

Per my own testing with a Logitech M650, I don't think you can connect a mouse to the Switch 2.

Are you sure? I tried, expected a mouse pointer to appear on screen, but it didn't. I used the same adapter I use to connect my mouse to my Android phone.

Edit: Just tried again, both top and bottom ports, the USB-C to A adapter plus bluetooth mouse dongle work fine in my phone, but not in the Switch. This is using a Logitech M650. I don't think it can do it guys.

I haven't tried connecting by bluetooth directly but I doubt that will work either. Using the Joycon as a mouse is pretty limited also - I can quite happily run my M650 over my belly and at any angle to control things, but the Joycon doesn't convert to a mouse unless it is horizontal. The find controllers page also doesn't really imply a mouse can be connected, just that you can use a Joycon in mouse mode.

“Some spectrum bands are free of charge and available for anyone to use – such as the shared spectrum bands for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The interference that occurred on Wednesday was in one of these shared bands,” O’Grady said.

In other words, the ADF microwaved New Zealand for a bit.

Nominally EU voltage is 230V, and may be 240V. In fact, it can be as high as 230V +10% = 253V. Higher voltage means more power for a given current, so nominally it's 16A x 230V = 3.68kW, but you could have say 16A x 250V = 4.0kW.

If your sauna is 400V then it sounds like you'll be 230V (400V / sqrt(3) = 230). But the voltage can also be 230V -6% = 216V, so 220V is within scope.

But yeah, standard voltages in the EU are either 230V/400V or 240V/415V. They've been harmogenised, but if you look at the numbers you'll see the trick - 230V +10% is roughly the same as 240V +6%. So the range is 230V-6% and 240V+6%.

You've got a 3 phase connection though so you might find you've got different single phase breakers on different phases (eg lights on one phase, sockets on another), with slightly different voltages for each one.

Linktree is a social media site that gives you a simple web page with all your links to your actual social media sites. This way, you can provide one link to your fans, taking up less space in a profile, then fans can pick and choose to follow on whichever services they prefer.

Usually, it'll be something like instagram, onlyfans, fansly; maybe some others like snapchat or kik. I think sometimes music artists use Linktree sites too, ie completely SFW, but primarily they exist for NSFW content creators.

I think it was on a podcast or something, but someone somewhere once said that people/aliens in the future might look back on our civilisation and assume so much about us from social media bots. They might think that we go around greeting each other going "Link in bio" like Vulcans say "Live long and prosper".

Your reply is very well written and on the whole I agree. The one thing I would say is that I am not simply dismissing the mainstream usage of the word, but pointing out its misuse as intentional deception given that the usage contradicts what the word describes. I aim to point out that the word is actively being used for propaganda, and encourage others to associate it as such.

If you prevent them from leaving at any point you invalidate the accusation of trespass.
