I got a onexplayer for like $600 and it has the 7840u in it. No matter how you slice it, the 7840u is much more powerful than the steam deck. However, it doesn’t do well in low tdp. That’s what the steam deck is best at - low tdp gaming and battery life.
But so long as I’m near an outlet, I can play more AAA games and on much higher resolution and graphics than the steam deck for however long I’d like. On battery, only about 3-4 hours vs 6-8 hours on a steam deck.
I think the main reason Firefox isn’t on there is because redox os doesn’t use Wayland and x11. Porting firefox would be a massive effort unfortunately.
If you want something like Mac, use elementary os.
Can’t put a number on it, but I’d wager it happens the majority of the time
For me, its the way they used procedural generation. Like its literally the same exact points of interests on every planet.
I remember going to a planet full of high level fauna and discovering a cave where you find a dead pirate that says these things are everywhere ahhhh. I thought it was cool. Next planet I went to had no fauna, and sure enough that same cave and dead pirate was in there saying the same thing with absolutely no fauna or enemy NPCs in there.
Its like they made 20 unique assets for the procedural generation tool to pick from. This is the exact laziness I found and drove me away from ESO. Just the same experience, with maybe a different faction here and there but the same points of interest over and over.
Other than that, I liked it. Basically skyrim in space. But very empty and they forced you complete like a 2 -3 hour mission before stuff opened up to you. And another 20 or so hours before a mission locked skillset is introduced. Huge waste of time IMO.
Its an alright game if you have a lot of time to kill.
Me thinks its time to delete twitch account
In my experiemce, Java shoots processing usage up while COBOL uses much lesser CPU / memory
If libre/open office isn’t your thing, there’s always cloud based ones like office365 and google docs.
I also found this. Never heard of some of these things, so I can’t really recommend them.

You can also use ms word in wine if you’re writing. However; if you’re opening docs from the internet, I wouldn’t recommend opening them up in anything running in wine. Remember, wine is a windows emulator based on windows 2000.
Good find! I want to test this out this weekend :)
Look for something that can do rtsp streaming. Reolink, amcrest, ect. Its all cheap Chinese cameras that almost definitely dial out to some Chinese server.
What I do is have all cameras connected on a wireless router with no internet, use zoneminder on a Linux that is connected to my home network via Ethernet and the camera network via WiFi, and allow https into my home network from my VPN
I mean, if I buy a game on steam and valve goes belly up, how do I retain my games? Game companies were all too eager to stop selling physical discs for PC games and instead give you a code for you to redeem. And you can’t sell it after you play it like with console games, because it goes against most PC game companies’ terms of service (edit - …to sell your account)
If you buy a security camera that is only available through the cloud and the company stops paying for the cloud service, all you have is a paper weight
Just another reminder that you don’t own anything digital - companies do. Forgo these cheap cloud products, use hardware that you can control
People do play games offline. Personally, I don’t care about achievements. They mean nothing to me, except knowing that the game developer is tracking my play through, which I hate.
Yes
It absolutely happened my guy. I still have the pixel 7a dead in a box or drawer somewhere.
Googles warranties are the worst. I bought a pixel 7a, and within 5 weeks it died. They would not fix it or return it because it was outside the 30 days, but they did have a year manufacturer warranty. However, when an authorized repair shop I took it in noticed a small little scratch where the case snapped on, they wouldn’t honor it. Don’t ever get a warranty from Google for anything, they’re awful.
Me running on lxde using 512mb: 😎
I was just thinking about this the other day…like games are optized for windows usually, but windows is not optimized for games. A fresh Windows 10 runs at 2gb ram on idle. It all went down hill for gamers when Microsoft killed xp
Its about the same difference, but you can definitely tell the difference between 1600p and 720p.
