stephenthinkpad posted:It's not just a Windows thing, tinkering with the Stream Deck (linux) needs K+M all the time too. you don't need a k+m to use a steam deck, and you do need a k+m if you want to tinker with an android device tho? like, it's literally impossible to do most things you can do on a deck on an android device without adb

On Deck I need to use K+M (or use that trackpad thing) just to add the Ubisoft store. See this is the thing, it's trivial for Steam to offer one click support of Ubisoft and GOG on it. But Steam OS has no competition, they don't need to do it. But on android its wild open competition.

The OLED deck did get a shrink to 6nm, but honestly, the market for people wanting to play full-scale PC games or PS4/5 games probably is going to be more niche simply because playing more complex menu-driven games just becomes a chore on any handheld. If anything 8bit to maybe Xbox360/PSP/Switch seems to be more sweet spot because games are are a little more simplified from that era or designed for handhelds. I think midsized android/arm handhelds are about a refresh away from pretty much having all of that being possible at a relatively cheap price point. (Otherwise, people will probably just get a laptop out anyway.) Otherwise everything from the late 2010s onward is just going to be Gatcha or free to play games.

China finances its debt on terms of its own currency. It's not even a matter of printing out the money (in the way we got used to see it) because state ownership means the financing of debt can be offset by value generated in the public company, which is a very different thing than making available tons of cash for banks to then put it to loans to then flush the market with credit to then get investors to buy in to then etc etc etc. It's an entirely different game.

Also don't forget that China's central bank is directly controlled by the Chinese state. It does not have central bank independence. Which is good, because central bank independence is dumb as gently caress.

XCOM 2, Civ 6 and Baldur's Gate 3 and even Age of Empires 2 all did well on the consoles, I think the market is there as long as the UI/UX is properly designed

The Central Bank would likely simply take on the debt on to its own account, and then provide direct funding to the administrative unit/SOE. It is still printing, but there doesn't need to be a bunch of non-sense with bond markets since the government is just taking it on itself.gradenko_2000 posted:XCOM 2, Civ 6 and Baldur's Gate 3 and even Age of Empires 2 all did well on the consoles, I think the market is there as long as the UI/UX is properly designed They did well on consoles, they just aren't going to be fun on a handheld beyond someone who is either really into them or as a demo. At a certain point, it is worth it to drag out your laptop and a mouse versus just futzing everything. Eventually, just the screen size itself and having to physically hold it or awkwardly use a stand will be an issue. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 17:34 on Jan 30, 2024 |

A contender for the number one spot of "reasons why neoliberalism will ruin your country" is the destitution of national control of money. A financier shitbag holds the key of the mint and goes "nuh-uh! inflation!" and the state that wants to do something can't loving access its own capability of credit I sort of wish that the nationalists figured out that this poo poo is tantamount to treason, just to see what would happen

stephenthinkpad posted:I am enjoying the recent trend of Chinese made retro handhelds that can play all old gaming systems , some can play up to the PS2. Right now top end systems are still using TSMC made qualcomm chip, but the mid and low end tiers all use Chinese soc. I recently got a miyoo mini plus cause I was intrigued by the idea, and I think I'm hooked, I need to get one of the bigger ones that can handle PS2 at some point. The one I got from amazon came with an SD card loaded with roms, including a bunch of chinese stuff, I think there was even a game or two that just ran directly in linux or something. Makes me wonder what the future holds for other applications of those SOCs, if there's a flood of cheap product coming you know they will just be throwing poo poo at a wall and seeing what happens

There's a new Uyghur restaurant near me in Australia and the menu sounds like they get whole lambs at the restaurant, they have dishes using every single part. "Lamb guts soup", hoofs, things I've never heard of before. Fresh made noodles, honey stir fried potatoes(?!), lots of Thai chillies and spices, can't wait to check it out

‘Seductive mirage’: US tech diplomat urges democracies to unite against Chinaquote:China will dominate the key technologies of the 21st century unless democratic nations band together and agree to relinquish national control over digital policy, according to the United States’ top technology diplomat. quote:Fick said that effectively competing with China in emerging technologies “means really pushing back on notions of digital sovereignty”, describing national control over technology policy as a “dangerous path” to follow. it's so good that Americans openly tell their allies that you have to give up on national sovereignty now, we have no other way to stop China, come on dude, trust me The only thing better is how the targets of this nod sagely and agree that our American alliance preserves our freedom and independence

Probably not a coincidence but also not part of the marketing. As expected expats are very angry about people making fun of the terrible series.
