Religion must be celebrated, protected and venerated,

No. No it must not. This completely unnecessary statement severely degrades the credibility of the rest of the piece.

The Aztecs used to use human sacrifice every day as part of their religious ceremonies. Shall we “celebrate, protect, and venerate” that?

What about modern day religions that practice genital mutilation? Or other completely abhorrent practices?

No: Religions should be viewed with skepticism and a critical eye. All throughout history they have been responsible for some of the worst of all human behavior and even to this day continue to lead people towards dark, unethical paths.

Hall effect sensor expert here! No, the magnets in the joycons that are used to attach to the display/body of the Switch 2 would not interfere with hall effect analog sticks.

Two reasons:

• The magnets are too far away (sensors are usually only sensitive to magnets within 10-12mm directly above/below)
• The mounting/attachment magnets would be perpendicular to the magnets in the analog sticks (if you imagine the flux lines they wouldn’t cross the sensory boundary).

Regardless, it would be trivial to place a tiny little piece of ferromagnetic blocking tape wherever necessary to prevent interference.

Unless they run a version of Linux where I can install my own software I’m not interested.

I suspect they’ll become like OpenWRT routers where the stock firmware is total garbage but you can replace it with something open source to super power the device.
