At this point in time, with how expensive the Ayn Thor has gotten and the downgrade from UFS 4.0 to 3.1 (WITH a simultaneous price increase), that console is dead to me personally, unless prices return to normal (which won’t happen).

However, the future of portable gaming is absolutely in ARM based consoles. Given that the upcoming Steam Frame will come with ARM to x86 translation (FEX), I think that Valve is also aware of this, and that the Steam Frame is the tip of the iceberg and will act as a sort of testing ground for ARM.

I’m hoping that Valve creates a variant of the Steam Deck that runs on an ARM-based chip, in addition to a true Steam Deck successor console running on a normal AMD processor and GPU. I think that Android also adds unnecessary overhead when gaming (latency and CPU cycles), and SteamOS is a great answer to that problem.

While I think Ayn is currently out of reach price wise, more competitors will begin to pop up making similar things (e.g. Retroid Pocket Flip 2).

Firefox has plugins to spoof specific tabs as always active.

That’s hilarious though ngl

But this man never needs to worry about anything anymore. I’d probably “work every day” knowing that I have the pleasure of stopping whenever I want, and having everything you could ever want right at your fingertips at any given moment.

They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

I love glasses, they add style. Contacts are good but I wouldn’t be a fan of having to do that every morning and night

Almost seems like the scratching of the phone is intentional. It would bring down the resale costs of the device and make them harder to trade in, and prompts consumers to think their phone is older than it really is in order to get them to buy a new one.

Not to mention that the heating issues on iPhone 15 are going to kill the battery faster than previous phones that do not overheat.

Fuck spez

And thanks spez

Developers, developers?

Damn thank you! Didn’t even think of making my own keto pizza dough

oh shit these ribs are fucking bussin

I’m probably the odd one out, and I used to be infuriated by the idea that my phone didn’t have a headphone jack, but I got used to not having it.

I only use wireless headphones now, and I have a USB-C adapter I can use in case I do want to use an aux port. Have been tempted to buy some decent “Chi-Fi” wired earphones, I do miss higher quality sound.

It’s like that, because of the way it is

If you find that preferable, you’d love the Pixel then. You can turn it on and off as you please.

Also if you’re using an official Apple USB-C charging cable on an iPhone, you can expect that it will charge at full speed (overnight or not).

And if you’re at a friend’s house and they have any other Android phone on Earth, the fast charging cable that they use to resuscitate their own Android phone from 10% to 50% in 15 mins and will take your (much more pricey) iPhone 50 minutes.

And the overpriced iPhone cable that charges those iPhones fast, will charge any Android phone fast.

At the minimum, you should understand that you’re the one getting the shit end of the stick. Don’t explain how it’s so convenient for you to get the shit end of the stick, that’s what let’s manufacturers keep getting away with this anti-consumer bullshit.
