  • At this point in time, with how expensive the Ayn Thor has gotten and the downgrade from UFS 4.0 to 3.1 (WITH a simultaneous price increase), that console is dead to me personally, unless prices return to normal (which won't happen).

    However, the future of portable gaming is absolutely in ARM based consoles. Given that the upcoming Steam Frame will come with ARM to x86 translation (FEX), I think that Valve is also aware of this, and that the Steam Frame is the tip of the iceberg and will act as a sort of testing ground for ARM.

    I'm hoping that Valve creates a variant of the Steam Deck that runs on an ARM-based chip, in addition to a true Steam Deck successor console running on a normal AMD processor and GPU. I think that Android also adds unnecessary overhead when gaming (latency and CPU cycles), and SteamOS is a great answer to that problem.

    While I think Ayn is currently out of reach price wise, more competitors will begin to pop up making similar things (e.g. Retroid Pocket Flip 2).

  • Disgusting. This is my representative, I unfortunately voted him in.

    Our president is a pedophile and we still get the "for the children" bullshit. How about making a law requiring tracking the data on the Epstein class phones instead?

    I sent a letter to him, hopefully enough people do.

  • I never trusted ProtonMail. Right when you sign up, you're constantly bombarded with advertisements to upgrade to pro. They're plastered everywhere with obnoxious banners.

    I get that they're a business and they need money to operate, but the ads are so obnoxiously "in your face" that in my mind their priority isn't your privacy, it's your money.

    Tutamail is the better service.

  • Firefox has plugins to spoof specific tabs as always active.

  • I think you mean, X should be nationalized like our social security numbers have been. It's only fair, the piece of shit who runs it is the only reason that even happened, why not keep things fair?

  • I bought a lifetime subscription years ago, and even if the payment method got decrypted, it's well expired. Not to mention I haven't had a Plex server running for ages.

  • MediaTek or Qualcomm chips will be used probably, but to order cutting edge chips they'd need to order pretty high volumes to keep prices down, so the chip they order will probably be older. Though the Pixel 5 was one of my favorite phones, so if they can keep that level of speed on Android 16 then I'm all for it.

    Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed

  • Part of what pisses me off is that Tesla doesn't use LiDAR, it uses cameras. So in sub optional conditions, like the ones where it kills people, LiDAR would resolve those outlier cases.

    But he'll never do that because he likes how his own farts smell.

  • You are exactly correct

  • That's hilarious though ngl

    But this man never needs to worry about anything anymore. I'd probably "work every day" knowing that I have the pleasure of stopping whenever I want, and having everything you could ever want right at your fingertips at any given moment.

  • I don't think that the founders are bad people. If you look at their history of work, they have done enormous amounts of work in the computer security sector. The founder, however, did run a cloud based WPA cracking service.

    Meredith Whitaker, who is the president, used to work at Google doing research for "issues related to net neutrality measurement, privacy, security, and the social consequences of artificial intelligence".

    In 2018 she then staged walkouts at Google over concerns of sexual misconduct and citizen surveillance.

    The people on Signal's board seem to be trustworthy people with a pretty airtight background. You have to worry more about the mobile operating system compromising you than do you about Signal.

  • I'm hoping that the next gen Steam Deck gets a coprocessor that will allow it to use less power in sleep mode, and also download games and updates in the background while the screen is off or in sleep mode.

  • You've probably seen people with mommy and daddy issues before, but this is the first time we've ever witnessed a billionaire with severe mommy and daddy issues.

    Dude wants attention and doesn't care how he gets it. Helps a lot to be a Nazi too.

  • Easy: you don't.

    Nobody has the balls to chase these ghouls down for illegally accessing information, most especially because our government is the ones enabling them to do this.

  • I wonder if Amazon is pushing these "protests" to drown out the real ones.

  • Most likely it will work with a VPN, yes. But having lived in America for so long, I never thought I would expect to have to use a VPN to access a website with content censored by our government.

  • F-Droid is great, but it's only for FOSS. So it won't host content like TikTok on it.

  • APKPure

    It looks a little sketchy to me, I'm seeing mixed things on reddit about it.

    An alternative application you can use to download Google Play apps is the Aurora Store (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore), but I think it still obtains the files from Google Play.
