If you’re on PC or Xbox, you could try it on game pass when it comes out first before committing fully into it.

Not exactly, it’s a binned version. 5 GPU cores instead of the 6 on the iPhone. Still, it’s pretty impressive for what it’s able to do.

Not really sure how big of a difference it makes but isn’t the memory on the Neo on the same die as the processor? The A18 Pro is also likely a lot of old binned chips that they’ve been collecting for a year. I wouldn’t be surprises if this completely isolated them from the rising memory costs. Apple really lucked out on the timing of their release. Not that the Neo wouldn’t have been an amazing value regardless either way.

While it was different, I did like Exodus in a different way and it felt pretty fresh.

That’s true, but it could be the platforms doing the vetting rather than the government.

I’m frankly not sure if that’s any better. It’s not in the interest of the platforms to do a proper job of it especially if said platforms allow payments through them and get a cut of the sales. So it ends up being the government to enforce it and that opens up another can of worms.

So what happens if they’re not based on the US?

Completely ignoring the stuff that’s been happening in the South China Sea and the Indian border huh?

Rest of the world if you live in Europe or China where they have enough bargaining power from their size I suppose. Doubt this will work in smaller countries and regions. Only hope is that the manufacturers feel that it’s not worth it to make 2 different models of the same car.

I hate this chasing of overly complicated and excessive software in cars. The only touchscreen I want in my car is the one that let’s me run Android Auto for GPS and music. Everything else should be tactile analog switches and dials. Whichever person thought touchscreens are a safe UI choice in a fast moving death machine is insane.

It’s the humidity in tropical regions. If it’s not sealed properly, your biscuits will absorb the moisture in the air and turn soft. They’re not oxygen removers, they’re water vapour removers and it’s there for a reason. It’s not because we hate the environment or we’re nuts. Hell, English as far as I know doesn’t even have a word in common usage for it. In Hokkien we have a word “lau hong” which literally means to lose air as in lose the crispness of the biscuit.

Hell, there’s also so many ants here that when I was in Finland, I was shocked that people leave biscuits as is without putting them into containers. If you do it in South East Asia, your biscuits would have become an ant colony in hours.

I don’t see how other methods aren’t immune to this issue without asking you to do verification every day.

Yea that absolutely sucks for the Koreans. Doesn’t make any sense unless maybe they’re trying to counter people selling their accounts or something?

Hardly ideal. But I’m glad they’re at least accepting credit cards. Anything else like face verification, passports and national ID cards are crossing a line imo.

Yea, I think they usually make it out of paper?

Yea, it was announced years ago. Glad that we’re finally getting a release date.

You do need to wipe off the water at least and not all models have the feature to dry you after it’s done washing your bum.

Why would they learn that when the Switch 2 is selling twice as fast as the first even with a much more limited catalog? A drop of 1/3 is still selling notably faster than the first Switch at it’s same time span. It’s still a huge success.

Windows could have done so much differently. More seamless integration with xbox and cross platform for gaming. Different, easily swappable profiles (windows) for different tasks (basically overhauling desktops, like for art, dev work, etc). Optimizing microsofts enterprise software suite without all the bloat. Not deprecating the idea of android support.

But like all big tech companies, they only see money now

People like to hate on Ballmer but all of these ideas came out during his time. Since Satya replaced him, Windows has just been getting worse and worse and the focus on their products have been lost to the cloud and AI. Sure the stock price rose but there’s nothing exciting about Microslop anymore.

They’ve picked themselves quite a bit since last year and are actually very competitive on laptops. They’ve still got ways to go for desktop but the changes they’ve made since are promising.

Sounds great honestly, locked down console hardware is such an aging concept. If Valve manages to pull off the Steam Machines, it’s proof that we’ve past the age of consoles. Except Nintendo I guess, they’ve always been a special case somehow.
