Doing that same operation now, all of these years later, the Switch successor might:
- Be based on the Ampere-generation "Orin" Tegra chipset. It will have Tensor Cores and will support hardware ray-tracing. It will support what people are teasingly calling "DLSS 3.2": frame generation, but not ray generation.
- Be backwards compatible with the current Switch; a high-up at Nintendo said the whole key to transitioning consumers to the new hardware will be "the account system". I don't know any way to interpret that other than people will be able to continue to use the massive expenditures they made in the existing Switch software ecosystem.
- Have a Game Card slot which will be wider than the original Switch's, but be able to accept cards of both widths-- the old and the new.
- Use at least one new gimmick. It would be surprising if its primary parlor trick wasn't AR. Maybe it will be like the AR cards from the 3DS, but greatly fleshed out and expanded upon?
- Have a form factor a bit different than the current Switch. The present hardware is a handheld which can optionally be put into a dock to get TV-out. Language around the new hardware suggests, verbatim, that "the screen comes off of the console for portable play." I suspect everyone will be in for a huge surprise once the physical appearance of the new system is unveiled.
The Beast System
Read this article and tell me that the development of "AI" shouldn't be internationally banned, the same way in which chemical weapons are. For every possible "benefit" of "AI" I can imagine, I can see ten horrific disasters it will almost certainly cause. It is absolutely part of The Beast System which is being put in place.
Demographics of the Left
It's fun hearing a non-American take a shot at describing the demographics of American Leftists. He's sort of close, but not quite right. There is only one group which supports modern-day Leftism: white women and their cucked white husbands. What's more, it's a vertical slice both in terms of age and income.
Robbinsdale, the crime-infested city I moved from had a lot of low-income, ugly SJWs with nose rings and purple hair move in. Every single one of them was white, and every single one of them immediately put fifty million signs in their yards: "In this household we believe...", "No justice, no peace!", and so forth.
In suburbia, the supporting white women are older professionals, many of them executives at corporations. They sip wine and take ski vacations to Aspen. They have Keith Ellison signs in their yards and "worry" about "climate change" as they drive their massive SUVs everywhere.
Finally, there are the elderly boomers. They were the moronic young-- at the time-- white women who bought into hippy movement.
I once saw a voting demographic map, where if you remove white women votes the entire country turns red.
This is partially off-topic, but I thought it was an insightful comment:
"The only thing more boring than the left's clinical psychopathy is watching right wingers try to understand it as a system.
Cluster B personality disorders. The 'left' doesn't have politics, they have individual personality disorders that make them want to take or break your stuff because you have it and they don't and that manifests collectively as 'politics.'
Truth is almost all of them don't understand the symbols they march under to take or break your stuff, but they don't care."

This analysis has truth in it. Women are much more prone to neuroticism and mental disorders than men. As Leftist men have lower testosterone on average, they veer towards the same kinds of mental issues from which women suffer.
Top-Down Pushing Not Working
There are some really encouraging signs that the "EeeVee" push to ultimately get rid of personal transportation altogether is going to fail. I read that less than half of Ford dealerships are even bothering to carry phones-on-wheels this year; numerous companies have cut back or eliminated external combustion engine "car" manufacturing; China has huge parking lots of abandoned "EeeVees" just sitting there, rusting out; now I'm reading that in the UK, where the pushing has been the strongest, sales have gone backwards year-on-year. Excellent!
One other interesting thing is that Chrysler is selling a "classic" version of their pickup trucks, without all of the garbage. I wonder if this will become "a thing"? It would be cool if companies did this to sports cars: sell then "bare bones" for as cheap as possible.
Eye of the Beholder
Look at how beautiful England was as recently as the 1960s. As is obvious now in retrospect, forces were in place all the way back then and beyond to utterly destroy that way of life-- and everything we see today is a manifestation of that plan, now almost complete. To think there were malcontents back then who looked around at the lovely society and thought, "I hate this and want to tear it down."
