Ex Nummis

I once got a 2k camera + gear + extra (Sigma!) lenses for three fiddy. No Loch Ness monsters involved tho.

This reads like the beginning of a long questchain in Cyberpunk 2077.

Oh I agree completely. There are many “more powerful” devices out there, but very few people actually prefer them if they’ve used a Steam Deck before. And its battery life is fine for what it is, but it would be awesome if it was twice as much.

I’ve seen ARM64 in action firsthand in the new Macbooks. The energy efficiency especially is off the charts. Since battery life was the Steam Deck’s greatest flaw, chances are an ARM architecture version can squeeze a lot more juice out of the same battery size in the future.

I only use things like console commands in case I get softlocked or similar. When playing Bethesda games, especially modded, this will come up sooner or later. Apart from that, it would ruin the fun, so no point in doing it.

Let’s see, 70-100+(!) bucks for the (yawn) twentyseventh COD with a 4 hour campaign, or 20 for a game that is complete and lasts for dozens if not hundreds of hours?

Yeah, my choice is easily made.

I’ve had several die on me in Raspberri pi’s after prolonged use.

There’s already small NVMe drives the size of, say, four SD cards with up to 1-2 TB capacity. So it shouldn’t be long I reckon.

My experience with playing games off an SD card in Steam Deck was… lackluster, shall we say (performance-wise).

I share your feelings about SD cards.

Then they will always be useless as standalone trustworthy agents.

The fuck he talking about? Obviously it has worked before. How else can you explain yearly COD releases making billions in revenue?

That it’s a losing strategy in the long term was always obvious, but get this: whomever’s in charge only cares about the numbers of the following quarter. That the company will go under in 10 years is literally not his problem, that’s the next schmoe’s problem.

Luckily EA hasn’t published anything I care about in over a decade. No big loss.

I don’t know what went wrong that such a patent was granted. I absolutely loathe IP people.

Someone got paid, guaranteed.

People need food. People need housing. People are freezing in winter and boiling in summer.

Thank god they can’t do shit to TPB and its ilk since those are already illegal anyway.

Just wait a year and they’ll throw them at you for free with another Samsung product because of overstock.

Does anyone know how core parking/scheduling is in Linux for 9950X3D cpus? AMD finally got it working near flawlessly in Windows, kinda don’t wanna give that up.

I just hope the price point is reasonable. I think 30 for the original RDR remake is steep.

Needlessly intrusive. Can obviously be circumvented by cheaters anyway, so quite possibly superfluous. Apart from that it protects against the kinds of attacks that typically require physical access to the computer. If you have physical access you have full access anyway. Etc.

I love the Battlefield series but I’m not turning on Secure Boot for them. If it remains a hard requirement, I’ll simply be passing altogether.
