You should see it on Android where not only does every version move everything around, but every manufacturer seems to re-implement the entire settings screen as well.

China burns more coal than anyone else put together.

The way I see it, a box of drives still needs something to connect it to your network.

And that something that can only do a basic connection costs only a little less than something that can run a bunch of other stuff too.

You can see why it all gets bundled together.

I can see why it was popular with hikers.

Never know when you might need to start a fire to keep warm.

When I was doing work experience in around 1995, I did mine at a local computer firm. A few days in, the doorbell rang. I looked over at the security camera. It was four lads in balaclavas.

I thought we were going to get robbed. The boss opened the door, put his hand over the camera, and returned a few seconds later with his hands full of SIMMs. Which he dropped on the table in front of me.

“Test these will you” he said, and that was it. That’s what memory theft was like. A bunch of lads breaking into offices, nicking the RAM from the PCs, and selling it local computer shops who would sell it right back to the offices they stole it from.

Not one guy having an expensive package stolen at random.

It’s an obscene price to pay for a GPU no matter how fast it is.

You can’t even watch it at home as intended. You’d need 3D (which is dead) and high frame rates for certain scenes (which aren’t supported).

Why should dragons pay tax. He earned that gold fair and square!

This is called a nonce.

Which as a Brit is a really bad name for anything used to access porn.

Yeah, the last batch never did either.

It’s going to be priced like a PC and most PC gamers unsurprisingly already have one. You can already stream that to another room in your house with zero lag.

Steam Deck does well because it adds portability into the mix. Something PCs have always struggled with.

That would be scalpees.

I went into Netflix recently to find the same thing. Hardly anything visible on screen, just a handful of massive buttons.

You can see maybe two movies to the right of the main one, and the top half of the row below.

I assume this is just to hide the fact that there’s precious little worth watching on it.

He says, as if he’s not responsible for three out of four of the top grossing movies of all time…

The movies may be bland as all fuck, but the man knows how to put arses on cinema seats.

It can. Zero knowledge proofs have been around a while and are ideal for this.

They’ll try not to have that because data gathering is what they’re after, not keeping little Timmy from seeing some tits.

I got around that by being a bad pirate. If I’ve watched it, chances are I’m nuking it in a few days from my download drive to make room for something else.

Plus surely the browser libraries like CEF are in danger of being unsupported in 32 bit land at some point, if they’re not already.

A PS5 currently costs less than £300. I can’t even get 32GB of RAM for that, let alone a GPU or any of the other parts.

PC gaming is dead for now. The only affordable way is Steam Decks and similar.

I’ve got to be honest, the price of a game is probably the least important factor on whether I make a full price purchase.

I’m not going to rush out and buy something I’ve no real interest in. I can count on one hand the number I’ve made this generation. On PS2 I’d be grabbing something every week or two, but now I just can’t get excited for the latest and greatest updates on old formulas. Half the time I buy just to encourage them to make more games like that, like I did with Talos Principle 2, Astro Bot and Split Fiction.

I might pick it up later if I feel inclined, or see it on a decent discount. Like Clair Obscur, that I picked up for £29 in a sale just because I remembered it existed and fancied something to play over the winter holiday.

A good APU solution like in the consoles would be a nice option though. Especially now with RAM prices through the roof again.
