That’s not the reason, it’s because the constant removal & reinsertion of the cartridge across attempts to get it working causes the pins on the inside of the console to scrape against the contacts on the cartridge enough to remove some corrosion and form a proper connection. Saliva and the blowing had little or nothing to do with it.

The proper method is to use contact cleaner, rubbing alcohol or an eraser to remove the corrosion from the contacts on the cartridge. This is basically the same thing but instead of scraping off the corrosion with the console cartridge slot pins, you’re removing it evenly and cleanly.

Other things happening now does not mean this is not important right now. If I thought focusing on this was preventing them from doing something about the wars, stopping Trump, or establishing abortion rights, then yeah maybe I would agree.

But we all know they aren’t doing shit about those things. IMO, “what more important things could they be doing” is the wrong question to ask, because it doesn’t function like a priority list where one takes away from their other. If they happen to stumble on an issue that is actually important and prescient, which this is, albeit framed poorly, then I say let them go for it. At least some actual good might come of it.

You do realize that they wouldn’t pass a special law that would make AI generated photos of Taylor Swift illegal and everyone else’s would stay legal right?

This event is being used as a catalyst to put in proper legislation about deepfakes, something that impacts everyone but impacts your average woman much more. I agree with the other commenter that it’s unfortunate that this is the event that caused people to take this seriously, but better late than never.

Sorry, but I can’t see anyone who thinks that AI generated images of non consenting women is issue “1001 out of 1000” as someone who gives a shit about women and issues that impact them, especially as we are in the middle of an AI revolution. This is EXACTLY the time to be solving issues like this.

Agreed, but it was, so it’s still important.

Being vegan is a lot of things to a lot of people. It’s not only about animal suffering. This is true for some people but plenty of people are vegan for health reasons.
