2·5 days agoI found ITX did, it did restrict my options however with my Ryzen 5 and RX6650 XT I can play everything at full detail and high resolutions. Linux is awesome with AMD hardware.
Looks like one of the 8-Bit Do ultimate controllers. I don’t recognise the stick/body colour combination, my black ones were just black
2·10 days agoThey’ve also got the Xbox interface for controllers, the reason they don’t make Windows better for this scenario is that they already have XBox and making a SwitchBox interferes with their plan to make everything shit.
Absolutely. But they want everyone to know they are using Windows, which if there was a custom shell then they wouldn’t.
They have >95% of the market, they don’t care about making a good interface for TVs as they already lost it to Android, and they don’t care about making a good gaming interface as they already have XBox.
Windows users are an inconvenience, that they want to milk.
No, Microsoft don’t allow it. As part of the distribution licence you are not allowed to customise the OOB interface.
People don’t know it’s Linux, but it’s absolutely because of Linux that it works.
They could call it Windows Console Edition, or WinCE.
Nope.
The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.
All the “competition” still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.
4·1 month agoThe only claim anyone has ever documented is detailed in the article.
An accusation doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right though. Something people get confused on often is Steam Keys, which are completely separate to Steam Store purchases. Valve do ask developers not to “give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers”
You can read through all the claimants key documents if you like 😉

So far no one has ever shown Valve asking for price parity with other outlets, and this doesn’t appear to be any different. Just a lawyer looking for a payday.

He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.
Essentially, this hinges on whether demanding price parity with other platforms is anticompetitive…
No it’s not. This hinges on whether you can sell the generated free Steam keys on other sites for less than the price you have set on Steam.
You can absolutely sell your game on another site for less. You can’t sell your game on another site for less and make Steam pick up the infrastructure costs.
Precisely. This is why the EU is harder on these companies.
When you get big enough, there are different rules to ensure that you don’t distort a market by killing competition. That is anti-trust, and that is considered a monopoly.
So you don’t understand what a monopoly is?
Because you don’t have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.
Nope. Fuck them, don’t give them any market share.
1·1 month agoNo, unfortunately only on the model I shared. There are comments about WhatsApp being removed from this model so it gets a lower rating.
That’s a shame as the 2780 doesn’t have WhatsApp.
You mean like this? Nokia 6300, has WhatsApp, apparently has Google Maps, 4G for tethering. Shitty camera is the drawback for me, otherwise it hits all the spots.
Quite a few of the dumb phones have WhatsApp. Although the maps experience would suck.
Personally, since they already have WhatsApp, having a good camera and 5G tether are my two wishlist items. 4G tether is probably fine for the most part but the good camera would be missed.
That with an iPad mini, so that I can still use banking apps and maps but I’d have it in a bag so that it’s not simple to access and I could leave it at home would be my ideal.
Also, “not blonde” considering the typical Hollywood stereotypes.
It is also the OS.
Windows doesn’t let you have a Steam Deck experience because its against the ToS. Once you don’t care about the user experience, why would you care about the HID?
