If they haven't already then very soon, nearly identical knockoffs will appear on Aliexpress for a couple of dollars.

... I really liked the Lenovo Duet which is a tablet with a keyboard cover running ChromeOS. You can run Android apps on that but still have a decent tablet experience, and a desktop experience when you attach the cover. But Android on ChromeOS is a super kludge and doesn't even run properly for a lot of apps.

Google shouldn't have even bothered with ChromeOS and instead focussed on making Android tablet & desktop e.g. resizable windows, printers, proper mouse & keyboard support as an alternative or addition to touchscreen, desktop aware versions of apps etc.). But they didn't. While there are Android tablets and some aren't bad to use, they all seem to use some half assed proprietary way of supporting tablet / desktop modes that isn't standard and none of the apps on the store bother to support it.

Or buy a "for parts" busted PS5, whip out the dremel, and mount a mini PC of some sort inside of it.

Even supposing you could hack one to run Linux or FreeBSD, the performance would probably be very mediocre because it's unlikely there is support for the bespoke CPU & graphics functionality it contains as well as other drivers you'd need to make it work properly.

I doubt Sony are subsidizing them at this point in the console's life. Sony are known for iterating through consoles through revisions that cut costs so maybe the first revision is subsidized but subsequent ones aren't. Models like the digital version & pro might have their own margins built in too.

The kinds of foods that trash your LDL predate the FDA and the United States.

You can homeschool with no income. What I was saying is that many rich people over millennia hired tutors to teach their kids. And therefore the reasoning of Zuckerberg to teach more kids may derive from that. I speculated it could have expanded as a means of providing his kids with companionship, or it could have been some fucked up Will Smith style "school". I have no idea without more information.

All of that and refuse to really fix the drift issue with Joycons.

The best way to detect file types is to make them unambiguously what they are by means of content type, file extension and structure. And fuck any format that decides to be something vague or ambiguous - they brought that problem on themselves.

Smaller EVs need smaller batteries. Maybe there is a clue in that statement for companies like Ford, Tesla, Rivian et al shitting out these 3 tonne monsters. People don't need these vehicles and smaller vehicles have better margins.

I'm sure he could afford private tutors and "home school" them just like many rich families did in the long past. It doesn't explain why other kids would be taught there though. Maybe it's all benevolent, e.g. Zuck thinks, "hey I'm paying for tutors so they can teach some other kids at the same time and my kids can get some peer bonding going". Or maybe it's some weird shit going on, some fucked up discredited teaching method like Jaden Smith received. Who knows. But it's no longer home schooling at that point.

The problem with PC gaming is that Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Epic, Rockstar, CD Projekt et al decided to replicate Steam independently. So gamers now enjoy umpteen bloated launchers sitting on their desktop with their own sign on systems, stores and update processes.

So blame greed for Steam retaining its dominance. Companies wanted the cake to themselves and failed to see the bigger picture that federation would have been a better idea. Develop a common platform that handles sign on, updates, achievements, anticheat, matchmaking, discussions, forums, reviews etc., but does NOT include a store. Companies would be free to sell their games however they liked from wherever they liked. The system could still have had a landing page or a promotional aspect but purchases happened elsewhere, possibly using SSO to make it simple and easy.

It would have been a more successful and fair system than what actually happened.

Most European cities have decent public transport and taxis. Not to mention that self driving cars barely work in the USA which has a vastly simplified road network compared to what you'd find in Europe - one way systems, roundabouts, narrow lanes, places where you have to give way etc.

It's not like Windows 10 ceases to function because Microsoft stops releasing updates. Also, if someone genuinely cannot update to Windows 11, it implies the limiting factor is their hardware which puts a dent in their chances of playing new AAA titles in any case. I expect most games will play just fine on Windows 10 for some time to come. There aren't a whole bunch of differences in Windows 11 from a game development perspective and nothing breaking until tools & compilers stop supporting Windows 10.

I certainly don't see the point of jumping from Windows 10 to Linux without considering that a lot of games aren't going to run any more. If you play predominantly through Steam then the pain isn't so bad because of Proton (WINE) emulation and some native builds. But anything outside of Steam, probably won't run at all, or only by screwing around with WINE or some variant, trying to circumvent DRM and the like.

Quite. Somebody misinterpreted what the behaviour should be or didn't test it properly. Nothing to do with the language.
