The actual story buried at the end of a Sino #1 article-

In the United States, companies like Oregon-based ESS Tech Inc. are already deploying iron flow systems for tech giants like Google.

However, some of these existing designs could struggle with “dendrites” — tiny, needle-like crystals that can short-circuit the battery. The Chinese team believes they have leapfrogged these hurdles by using an alkaline-based chemistry and their new molecular “shield.”

Just like the original plan for Xbox One!

ARM isn’t the reason why it won’t work for long.

It’s cooling, as soon as the phone thermal soaks it’s throttles down - phones can’t have a decent cooling system since they use power (fans EAT power), degrade water resistance and just add weight/bulk that most don’t want in a phone.

The handhelds you’ve listed aren’t phones. They’re handhelds that do in fact have heatsinks - they’ll work fine.

Again this isn’t anything against ARM, it’s the idea that a phone form factor with zero cooling considerations will somehow best a device with those considerations.

Yeah but you can’t make Sino Number #1 propaganda if you include the others.

For a minute or so anyway, until the SoC overheats and thermal throttles.

You’re going to need a bigger battery and a real heatsink+fan if you want real gaming out of it, at which point it’s going to start getting to Deck size…

Or, a game looks great, is fairly made by inspired artists looking for a return on their risk, in which case: Why are you not paying them for their work?

Vast majority of people making games are on a Salary. They’re not getting any more or less return from you buying a game.

*Unless you’re a german webshop, then it’s fine to restrict sales to Germany only apparently.

You might be better off using an old laptop you’ve got laying around than buying a Pi for it.

It’s relatively easy to add more NICs (use m.2/mpcie from the mainboard, if you don’t want wireless on it, just use the wifi m.2 and you’ve still got storage)

You can limit the power usage with sysfs, it’s got a built in UPS and a monitor/keyboard for troubleshooting if you really need to.

ie. “The Gnome Way”* exported to the OS as a whole.

* Strip all features but allow them back as plugins that aren’t supported or secured.

That’s the neat part - You don’t! (unless you want incredibly long update times as every new util is a new overlay!)

Windows

pfft, DOSSHELL is where it’s at.

The “systemd devs” are anyone with the cashe to contribute to it.

Not really, unless you’re employed by one of the big tech companies contributing to it, your pull requests are piped directly to the shredder, same with xorg, gnome, etc.

You can fork them, but why bother when it’s a mess designed to ensure the employment of its contributors, ‘WallyWare’ if you will.

From the blog-

Pursuant to Section 7 of AGPLv3, the copyright holder is expressly entitled to impose additional conditions. In the case of ONLYOFFICE, such conditions include, in particular:

• the obligation to retain the original product logo (Section 7(b));

• the denial of any rights to use the copyright holder’s trademarks (Section 7(e)).

Such additions to the License were implemented on May 25, 2021, and can be found at line 655 of the License.

ie. You’re not allowed to rebrand the software as something else and additionally, not allowed to use their trademarks without their consent - they’re trying to turn something agpl into ‘shared source’ proprietary software.

Never heard of OnlyOffice before, will never ever be using it now.

USA only unfortunately.

Does it have a faster, sleeker looking Dara O’Briain for a logo?

To be fair, ‘PlayStation’ is an American brand now, SIE is headquartered in California.

Switch2 is selling insanely well in Japan as they have their special Japan-only subsidised version. (¥49,980/~USD$313)

Dremel is probably a bit overboard, a utility knife will do it. But you’re right, there can be required modification (or just using a 1x to 16x riser for ~$2 from AliExpress)
