The point being it's not a launch library. The library already exists. The Retroarch device benefits from targetting a known library that has existed for decades, whereas when the N64 released there were less than a half dozen games for it. The same is true of the Steam Deck. It's not touting a new library of new games - it's not a launch library. For a different analogy, it's the Barnes and Noble Nook, reading the same ebooks that the Kindle has been able to read for years and years (I may have that backwards...the Nook may have been first).

We can agree that the comparison in the article is stupid.

"...which will alone give Steam Deck the largest launch library of any console, ever"

Except that it's not a new console in the traditional sense. It's not a new architecture with a need for games to be written to it. It's a device that was specifically designed to run a pre-existing library of games. Yes, 136 games are a lot, but those games are already available to play in the same form they will be used on the Steam Deck. Some of those games have been available for many years. Retroarch is working on a device that will slot and read physical Nintendo 64 cartridges. When it is released, it will have a "launch" library of every N64 game, many more than the N64 had when it launched. That doesn't mean the Retroarch device is in any way superior to the Nintendo 64 in terms of a launch library.

Thanks for pointing out that you're so much of an attention whore that you read/post to the internet while on the toilet to garner the external affirmations you so desperately need in your empty life.

Yet you cared enough about not caring to make a useless post illuminating your continued investment in expressing your opinion of not caring...

Aha, so YouTube is too good for you. You get your false education from some 2nd tier site because the content on there would get kicked from YouTube. You are 100% next level. You're still dumb as a post and a danger to both yourself and those around you, but I applaud your dedication to your self-delusion.

OMG, right??!! This entire flat-earth has gone to hell. Only those of us with our Matrix style "I'm Neo, I'm *THE ONE*!" complexes have figured it all out and are smarter than the combined knowledge of thousands of people across generations. ALL HAIL MY SOLE EDUCATOR, YOUTUBE!!!

"...but there was no sound and the game was unable to go full screen and capture the mouse."

So, it was able to replicate gaming on Linux perfectly?

"thinner... lighter is always nicer for transport"

The current Air is 0.63" thick and weighs 2.8 lbs. Even if Apple were to shave 10% off of both of those values the new device would be 0.063" thinner and weigh 2.52 lbs. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference either by looking at it or holding it in your hand. Let's say Apple are miracle workers and shave 20% off of both values. Now the device is 1/2" thick and weighs 2.24 lbs. Very view people, mostly those who claim they can tell the difference in speaker cables, would be able to detect a 1/10" and 9 oz difference. Especially when it is packed in a bag with other travel items.

Apple won't achieve a 20% reduction in either of those values. They will work very hard to get you to believe the 6%-7% reduction they may achieve will change your world, though.

Supply increasing while demand is decreasing is the exact reason the shortage is ending. It doesn't matter where the supply is originating, it's reducing the shortfall in supply regardless.

What software are you maintaining that is dependent on some feature that keeps changing in every biannual release of a Windows 10 update?

No one ever said "Windows 10 forever". At the announcement of Windows 10 an exec said this could be the "last version of Windows, ever". That's different. Windows 11 can (and will) be based on the same code underpinnings.

Microsoft releases two Windows 10 updates a year. How is maintaining documentation for that any more onerous than for any version of MacOS or the various releases of Linux distros?

Oh, yep. That's correct regarding what gets caught. My mistake. The Starship current legs are still just for prototyping. They will change a lot.

Maybe watch the video before making a disgusting comparison like that? And, yes, it landed successfully and then ~ 3 mins later it exploded. These things are prototypes and are being rapidly produced to test a novel rentry-landing idea while simultaneously testing new engine designs and new methods of manufacturing. Any number of interrelated and unrelated issues can occur in any one of these test flights. It didn't explode on landing, it didn't explode in flight and crash, it didn't crash and then explode. It landed successfully and then something, whether tied to the landing or not, occurred and the vehicle was lost.
