Another so called “economics think-tank” that thinks [consumer price]-[raw material cost]=[profit]. They are just ingnoring all of the other variables in equation. P&G (their biggest example) laid off a huge percentage of their workforce during the pandemic and increased the price of the products. Now they are nearly back at 100% of their workforce but everyone is being paid more. It ends up being a wash for consumers at that point. That’s not even including cost of energy, cost of machine maintenance, and all of the other little things that have increased over the last few years. Nonsense.

The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn’t worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I’m the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.

Not sure if it’s right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.

That was always Gabe’s intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.

Does that keyboard fit in the case while closed? I don’t need a keyboard with the deck often, but it would be nice to have one with it all the time for that off chance I do. The times I need a keyboard I really need a keyboard.

Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.

Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.

Short sellers, and the corporation that absorbs them at bargain prices.

New MacBooks have their memory soldered directly to the main board and don’t have an extra m.2 port. There are very few windows laptops that meet both of those criteria. But like I said, even in those cases you can install games on an external drive.

No it’s not, unless they have a MacBook. And even in that case it’s not hard to find an external SSD with a thunderbolt or USB3.2 interface.

It’s not that unrealistic if the dock has a GPU in it. Something they should have done with the og switch.

I use batch renaming all the time, very little of it for programming. Media management, and general file organization are my most common uses. But there are plenty of third party free programs that let windows do this without the need for running python scripts.

TBF I couldn’t read very well when SMK came out so I don’t really know if the game mags were trashing it.

.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy’s technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.

I’ve been liking .zip so far.

I’m so annoyed by all the “why isn’t it another RPG?” Complaints in the video comments. Why would southpark lend itself only to the RPG genre? Does anyone complain that Mario kart isn’t a platformer?

When they actually do have far right beliefs sure. But I think they were referring to people using the “right wing extremist” tag as a bludgeon for any views right of their own, or things that may not even be right at all.

Looks like it was to give independence to the French African states.

That could very easily be all websites. It would never be feasible to stop.

Eh, it’s unenforceable. Just theater from a bunch of politicians that don’t understand the technology. I wouldn’t worry about it.

That was the first way I installed Ubuntu. I remember the bootleg ones on eBay for $5 also.
