They could sell them at a loss assuming the average Steam outlay per device exceeded the loss. This figure would be dragged down by people buying them as generic portable PCs, using them solely with emulators, using them as drone controllers (apparently the Ukrainian military do that), and such.
The original one is solid, but takes up a lot of space. Which is fine in a car boot or something, but may be a problem in a backpack.
Having said that, if you’re putting it in a bag where it won’t be rattling around, protecting the front is probably enough, so a half-case which covers the front will probably suffice.
Hey, if you don’t have traumatic brain injury, what are you doing on Lemmy?
Are there any which interface with different national banking systems and allow payment from those without going through the credit card payment infrastructure, which has become a universal choke point? Or are they talking about accepting Monero or something?
If they did, they may be on shaky legal ground in IHRA jurisdictions like the UK and Germany.
The original full-stack developer
One problem with these is that using them breaks things like file open/save dialogs for modern apps which use some (DBus-based?) way of invoking those and expect a modern desktop environment to provide one.
Also, did the source code for the proprietary parts of Open Look ever make it out? That was probably the most handsome GUI of its era, certainly more so than Motif (the “yo dawg I heard you like bas-relief shading” GUI) and arguably NeXTStep.
Time to Switch 2 a Steam Deck.
The inability to roll windows up into just the title bar, or to get Firefox to place each of its windows on the same virtual desktop as before, are major annoyances. Otherwise, Wayland runs better than I expected.
Good luck to them finding work. Pretty much all Fortune 500 companies will have blacklisted them.
The government as bagholder of last resort
If it had “web3” in the description, that should have been a huge red flag in itself.
It gives her money for her hobbies, which at this stage are mostly stoking hatred against trans people. As such, any purchases of this game fund anti-trans hate campaigns. The fact that there is a trans character in the game which funds anti-trans hate campaigns doesn’t redeem it, but if anything, it’s a gesture of contempt (“these idiot wokelings will buy us the rope we’ll hang them with!”)
I have historically gone with PostgreSQL and had no complaints. The licensing issues concerning MySQL also give one pause (Oracle are greedy bastards who will use any excuse to extract money from captive customers, so depending on their properties is to be avoided). Having said that, these days, SQLite is probably sufficient for many workloads and has the advantage of not requiring a database server.
In a global free market, superheroes end up standing for Truth, Justice and Xi Jinping Thought
Depends on how well it’s executed. It would be all too easy for a device like this to end up fatally flawed to the point where it’s not actually useful. (I’ve seen some real stinkers that looked great in the crowdfunding campaign.)
I loved the original and the Ezio titles, found the American Revolution one ran a little too much on rails (here you ride with Paul Revere, and here’s an unskippable ghost-train ride of a sequence where you have to shoot some goons; meh), and found the Victorian London one a bit dull. I haven’t yet played Black Flag, but may do so next, given that people rate it, though am not excited by any more recent ones.
The Bryce of a new generation
Free as in puppy
About time. The PSP and Vita were beautiful devices that gave a great playing experience. Sony obviously knew how to make a good portable, and throwing that away was a big mistake.
