That ship has sailed a long time ago. Even Xiaomi is moving away from that.

I'm late to this, but really, for questions like these, you really need to state two things:

1. Roughly where you live. If I recommend something from Indonesia, and you live in the UK, that's not going to cut it, is it?
2. A hard number for a budget, cheap has different meanings to different people across income groups. Cheap to me as broke student in my 20s is different from me as a working adult in my 40s.

Eh, no biggie, though just means you're just doing standard drip coffee!

You should look for custom ROMs that incorporate the official camera app. It's been a while since I dabbled with custom ROMs but there's always a few makers that'd do so.

I don't know, it's been another year of overpriced GPUs that didn't advance as much as some past generations have.

My only complaint of the photo is I'm not seeing more of the innards of the sandwich! Or the height of it! Sounds like a nicely stacked one.

Yea, this is a USA problem. Elsewhere everyone just uses a messaging app of their network's choice.

Have you tried installing a copy of Windows in Dosbox, then install the game from there? I remember doing something like that to play the original SimTower.

Very likely the game is 16 bit mode, which is why nothing in Windows 10's compatibility mode is working, as it doesn't support 16 bit programs.

Nevermind that, an approach like what Sharp and the old PDAs did with transflective displays would be pretty neat too. But I suspect what'll happen is that they'll be called out for not providing "rich colours and deep blacks".

Is that what happened? Because it works absolute shite with Bluetooth keyboards too.

Damn, some sense around these parts. Always felt the TPM issue was overblown. Unless you wanted Win11 on day 1, and no sensible user should be doing that anyway!

I'm sure this isn't just a UK problem, I'm sure many countries are reporting worsening behaviour in parents, which filters down to the children. I know it's been a problem for a while where I am!

They did announce an 11" tablet, no idea if it's launched.

It's basically a LCD with a special matte coating, is that it?

How bad is the scalping? I'm in Singapore and the price premium is about 10%.

The higher price isn't permanent.

I've worked in camera retail and the local shops do just that, actually, and it's effective. The FOMO people get their stuff first at a higher price, the shop gets a boost in margins, and everyone else gets to enjoy cheaper prices three months later (and have the early adopters sit through the bugs and first-run issues).

And that's with a fairly active mod team too. Imagine the spam if there were no controls.

Definitely a good RTS, feels like it peaked with the first Company of Heroes.

Hybrid MMO/ARPG?

Yes, but it still shouldn't be forced down users' throats.

There's a lot I like about MS products (unlike the majority here), but I still dislike the way they integrate their services into their products. I'll use what I want, thanks.
