hardware is fine. If you’re not experienced the 3000km will fuck you though. Stuff will arise where you will need to get at it.

I’ve been using two laptops als “servers” for years.
well, the first one died after about 6 years of use.
But I can get at them reasonably.

but only as in the modifications to Falcon 9 to make Falcon Heavy, right?

surprisingly not most of the time I checked.

Laptop/Mobile x86 seemed rather competetive to Laptop/Mobile ARM in performance/Watt

Unless they change CPU architectures.

well. there’s already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

A CPU architecture change wouldn’t be a deathblow.

Also the price scales wayyyy better. Steam Deck starts at 313,65€ now.

if you have less money, buy that, get an sd card, and if you enjoy it put an ssd in later.

I still wait for the day where smartphones become the only computer for most people.
dock it, (maybe cool it) and the available power is significant.

google is definitely taking steps there with their virtualization work and desktop mode, just slow.
Apple may be too, with their switch to ARM on desktop.

fuck yeah, definitely the right direction.

still a ways to go, but hey, baby steps

I have to say this is extremely encouraging.
I didn’t think that the steamdeck would have the raw performance. But it seems to me that it does, but the emulator is lacking optimization (understandably for such an early stage)

My experience with Cyberpunk was that the Steam Deck preset was a good starting point, but wasn’t actually an ideal way to play the game.

that is also propably subjective and may even depend on the deck you have, and in which areas the silicon lottery was good or bad to you

Wonder if benchmarks will switch to a more sustained load profile.

I also hope that Android will get some desktop mode with maybe even linux app support like chrome os (but I of course am dreaming) to actually use the insane power in a more ergonomic environment than in my palm

why can I not install it?

first time i just get the share button on droid-ify

/e: installig directly from github was no issue

this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

if Google can’t continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

yeah, but it’s not nearly as good as it seems.

ion thruster with a tiny bit of extra thrust snd ISP because of fusion reactions.

Curious if this will fix my one issue I have with Finamp.

I have some quite large playlists I’d like to listen on shuffle. Finamp doesn’t do that well at all. (It seems it only shuffles what it has cached or something, as it seems to shuffle “only” the first 100 or so songs. of 3000+)
