  • Sweet. I already have 2 Ultimate 2C controllers. Way back I bought a Switch Pro controller and I'm never buying official gamepads again. Third party stuff are great now

  • I don't think Americans and Europeans know how much invasions into southeast Asia in the 1800s and prior there were. It's not a post-WW2 thing. It's centuries of atrocities in the region. Someday the UK are going to be grandstanding against India too and people out here will be confused why Indians aren't wistfully looking back to the days of the British empire exporting foods by coercion while Indians go through famines

  • Is the plan to kill some more millions of southeast Asians like good ol' days

  • Americans shouldn't be looking at other countries to feel better about themselves regardless. They should be letting themselves feel bad so that they actually maintain some energy levels to fight for their own rights domestically instead of contributing to the constant stream of jingoism that has been American media since inception. Decades living and its a cycle of next enemy while economic disparity just keeps widening but people are pacifying themselves with the next enemy

  • Mentioned in the article, I use LACT. It's good

  • Every laptop I've bought has come with Windows including gaming ones. Up to really powerful computers. Like having a 4080 in it or down to just integrated. I could be doing nothing and you'll hear the fan spin up hard on Windows.

    On hardware with just integrated graphics, Windows just sucks compared to Linux. Fan spins up but you'll still get animation hitches as Windows background services are doing something. Switch to Linux and resource usage just matches up really well with what you know you've installed and set to run. Just whatever is popular: Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Pop_OS, etc compared to consumer Windows editions.

    Plus it's nice installing an OS and not having to go through pages of telemetry opt-outs, encouragement to buy O365, OneDrive, Copilot+, Gamepass, create online MS account, etc. Windows went from a relatively neutral marketplace, besides the bundled software, to a platform for marketing MS and other companies subscription services

    Neutral base of fairly standardized open source Linux operating systems is going to show itself overtime as preferable as these controlled platforms get monetized harder. Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android are all in varying stages of being subscription and marketing data farms

  • But Beyer said Connolly was a young 74, cancer notwithstanding

  • I don't know if it's the same law but they've already said they'd move countries, anywhere with laws suitable for the service

  • The controls I thought were really easy but I played on PC so I could swing the mouse around and I don't need to looks at the keyboard to hit almost any key. So for me I thought it was real easy to control contrary to what I read online

    Then I played on a console and then I understood the hate for Witcher 3 controls. I remember it feeling very heavy. Weird to control the camera and Geralt

  • One thing about these handheld is that i feel like they're price competitive with miniPCs and laptops with the same CPU/GPU

    This and any other that will come with Linux out the box, guaranteed hardware drivers exist for everything so then it becomes about as appealing as a Steam Deck minus the price advantage Valve can do as a software store vendor. I already run a Legion Go with Bazzite.

    What I'm waiting for now is a PC Handheld that weighs less than a Steam Deck that is solidly priced but is performance competitive with the Z1 extreme devices. At that point I would actually feel comfortable recommending them to people on the fence. The weight, price and minimum performance to be able to play at least Switch 2 level games. I think that'll be the UDNA generation of AMD APUs

  • I would bet that for Zotac, they still want a support/integration contract and maybe Manjaro have setup to actually have a business plan now. SteamOS, maybe going to Valve for support is more expensive or they're not staffed well enough to onboard Lenovo, maybe Asus and any of the actual big PC vendors

  • I had family with a Sega Nomad. I thought that thing was a unit and I was so jealous of it. Now everything's significantly bigger than that. I remember how anything over 4.3" 16:9 phone display was too big to be portable. PC Handhelds go up to I think 10 inches now with GPD Win and the lightweight one soon being a Switch 2 is 7.9" 16:9 display

  • I've never viewed the anti-slavery stance as much of any substance. The French and others just exported slavery to other countries so they wouldn't feel bad witnessing where their wealth was coming from. I side eye everytime I see news of French paratroopers touching down in whatever African country that is supposed to be fully independent and not under any French coercion

  • Dude ya! Not funny but I was kind of grinning a bit reading it. Like this is how you represent yourself to the public, now imagine behind closed doors. Even worse considering not having talked to his son for 10 years after the divorce where by his words the son chose the mother. Like damn man, crawl into a hole and avoid scrutiny

  • I wonder what the dad thought doing interviews because to me he sounds a shitty parent

  • My impression is that France mostly ignores with popular support anything they had done for centuries to people in other countries. That seems true for most of the European colonial empire countries treating their roles in atrocities as footnotes in history rather than major events that modern countries are still trying to rebuild from

  • My favorite thing about these is that even though minipc's with them are around $2000 now, someday they'll be cheap and the Switch 2 is coming out and will probably be a ~10 year platform. Someday it'll be a solid choice as a cheap entry into PC gaming

  • The crypto industry produces so little jobs. Just conceptually server farms that run single applications or pretty much marketing firms that make advertising coin dumps. Companies that employ single digit people locally

  • That's just ad hominem to say people are fanboying the CEO. I never heard the name of the CEO until people started complaining about him. Then I read the statements he put out and that people are hysterical over and reading into as if he's some Trump fanboy. The guys not even an American. He doesn't live in the US. He just runs a service as an alternative to the big tech companies. Was he even in the US for anything but his university years and he's 40?

    Americans read more into him than his record and statements say. Not everyone's politics revolve around Americans. I'm waiting for American leftist to turn on Shawn Fain too for supporting Trump auto tariffs and be anti auto workers union because too many in the union are Trump supporters and even someone in opposition like Shawn Fain is supporting a Trump policy. That's even more direct and influential than a guy in Europe that runs a niche privacy centric internet service company

    Problematic, barely. It's a handful of statements months ago compared to his life of work. Magnifying glass to your whole life and people would likely find something problematic. If this guy is representative of what a problematic person is, the world would be pretty solid. Waste of energy to be so anti this guy and Proton when it's a service more conducive to privacy rights than anything I or probably any of us have done. Problematic has become such an empty insult with how easily it's thrown around with such passion. Waste of passion
