The main issue I see there is the power still has to come from somewhere. All this would likely do is move the pci-e power plugs to the motherboard and cause lots of confusion related to: “this GPU only requires two plugs of power, but the motherboard has three plugs, do I need to plug in all three? My PSU only has two pci-plugs.”

Those are other users’ comments. Not sure how those are relevant to JiveTurkey’s comments.

The Pokemon games all being the same caused me to get bored of them years ago. And now with them suing Palworld for ‘capturing monsters with an object and summoning them in 3d space’, a patent made after Palworld released their trailer, I find the Nintendo brand actively harmful to the state of gaming.

Sounds like Paypal/Honey is in a world of pain. This is the second lawsuit I have seen. They probably aren’t having a good time over there.

I’m surprised more people don’t buy the SE’s. They are half the price of the other iPhones.

I feel like that’s saying that my computer monitor needs a “killer app”.

That’s the thing though, it has piles of them. Steam is absolutely jam packed with them. Additionally things like, video editors, photo editors, browsers, spreadsheets, word processors, code editors, etc, etc. All of these makes a monitor (or laptop screen) something almost everyone owns. All of these apps are best on a monitor.

What is best on a Vision Pro?

It’s just WAY too expensive for people to want to do so

Yep, the price can make or break a product. And the price makes this product…not good. Particularly when people don’t see much of a point in the product in the first place. VR headsets are niche as hell, the Vision Pro is a niche of a niche.

Glad to see more handhelds picking up Steam OS! So many portable competitors have been hampered by their OS sucking down limited resources while providing an inferior UI and UX.

The site can be fun sometimes. ;p

Hopefully it will be a banger like the first!

Regulating ISPs as a utility is a pretty big change, not simply a technical detail; it is in the purview of Congress.

Congressmen aren’t individually drafting bills, they direct their aids to draft the bills and hammer out the details. We don’t need to overhaul our system, we need congressmen to do their job rather than offloading their job to the Executive.

Edit: Said bill would direct the Executive on how to regulate them as a utility at which point small technical details, as you mention, are handled by the Executive.

I don’t know what the US should do to resolve all this, but it’s getting to be quite the mess.

it really is just another example of how various parts of the US government have been ceding or delegating their responsibilities around willy-nilly

This is the big one. Congress has been delegating their power to the Executive for decades. Rather than meaningful law, they tell the Executive to make regulations that don’t stand the test of time. Congress needs to pass laws again, instead of delegating large swaths of their power.

Like most large changes, it requires an act of Congress. Doing these via the executive leads to weak outcomes like this.

The Switch mostly lives on the talent and creativity of Nintendo devs. Russia seems to be lacking in the quantity and quality in that regard as well.

Honestly, I would expect Russia to shoot more for PC gaming, rather than console gaming. But that would almost certainly require using home-grown or Chinese semiconductors. I’m not sure there are too many homegrown Russian semiconductor fabs, and Chinese chips aren’t known for their high performance like Taiwanese (TSMC, and by extension nVidia, AMD) and American chips (Intel) are.

Does Microsoft make Halo? Halo’s developer is owned by Microsoft, just as Xenoblade’s developer is owned by Nintendo.

Xenoblade

The Xenoblade series is made by a developer that is owned by Nintendo. If Nintendo doesn’t want people to rag on their products, they should make them better.

Seems negligent to not include extension cables in the spec. Lots of hubs have too short of cables, or one needs to expose a plug somewhere other than where the PC is.

Exactly, every time I say ‘I’m thinking of putting up a Factorio server, you want in?’, they are significantly less likely to be playing (or paying for) the newest game that has kernel-level access. Why, because we are playing Factorio for the next few weeks together and Factorio is fun.

Factorio isn’t the only game we play, but the point is to reinforce yours. If you are playing fun game x, your friends are more likely to play x instead of something else. Even if they have no care about Kernel-Level access, the fact you do affects their buying (and playing) patterns.

First of all, plenty of people would be happy to self-host a game for their friends, if they were still allowed the option.

Exactly! Me and my friends often play on modded Factorio servers that one of us hosts. This is only possible because the developer doesn’t lock things down to only the first-party (official) servers.

We don’t play with cheaters either (you aren’t getting invited to our server if you are). We play with our friends because it is fun, in a way no official server could hope to work.

Why would they listen to your personal complaint if you, singular, are going to buy it anyway? Your voice only matters to a company if it means you won’t buy their product otherwise. Don’t buy the game, then tell them why you didn’t.

If the screens were as durable as the non-foldables, foldable phones would be the obvious choice. They protect the screen by putting it on the inside and are pretty satisfying to close.

With that said, I don’t forsee a technology that lets them get the screens nearly as durable as non-foldable screens. So, like you said, will almost certainly remain a niche feature.
