  • Pricing seems to be a lot cheaper than from "the big three" (Amazon, Google, Microsoft), but similar to competitors like Backblaze or Wasabi.

    Most of their other services are super attractive in terms of price (and also quality in my experience), this seems more like an "hey we have S3 too".

  • Then don't buy a new iPhone/MacBook/iPad every year.

    I personally prefer to buy a device that's as up-to-date as possible whenever I buy it. I wouldn't want to buy an expensive device that's 2.5 years old when I buy it only for it to get replaced by its successor half a year down the line.

  • Crazy how quickly NVIDIA went up. I wonder if they'll crash down just as fast should the AI hype either die off or shift to other manufacturers (Intel, AMD etc.) or in-house solutions (ex. Apple Intelligence).

  • Most of the cartridges this device can dump are so old that nobody will come after you for owning such dumps, whether they're from your cartridge or not. It'll also be hard to prove that the ROM isn't from your own cartridge if it's a clean ROM.

  • Probably Tetris Gym?

    EDIT: The "kill screen" in NES Tetris is just the game getting too fast for most people to keep up. Then there's some bugs that can crash the game in later levels, but Tetris Gym fixes these bugs. So you "just" have to be good enough to play Tetris for long enough at insane speeds.

  • This is the way.

  • Exactly. If anything, signs like these drag the attention away from the actual issue.

  • Just to clarify, do you want multiple remote users connecting to the same desktop session or to separate desktop sessions on the same computer (like a terminal server)?

  • Yeah, I won't trust Google on that unless they actually deliver. Too many canned projects by that company.

    The iPhone 6S got iOS 9 to iOS 15, so 7 years of mainline software support and as of now it's still getting security updates - 9 years later (latest version as of now is 15.8.3 released end of July this year). The iPhone XS entered year 7 of mainline software support with iOS 18.

    Sure, some phones only got 6 years of mainline software support, namely the iPhone 7 or iPhone X. They're all still receiving security updates though.

    Google just now promised to more or less match that starting with the Pixel 8 series, but they didn't retroactively apply that policy to their previous devices. The Pixel 8 now has just shy of 6 years of mainline software support to go to fulfill Google's promise and we'll see how long they'll release security updates after that.

  • Thanks for letting me know, I just updated to v5 yesterday.

  • "Personally, I think there is too much swearing. I don't want my five-year-old grandchild listening to that sort of language."

    Then don't let your 5-year old child watch the fucking press conference.

  • Technically the Pro Max already starts at 256 GB (starting with the 15 series iirc). But they simply removed the 128 GB option from the price stack.

  • I used to use the Magic Mouse gen 1 and opening the battery compartment was as easy as pressing down on a plastic "lever". I never harmed my fingernails in any way in the process.

    Other than that, there are clearly many better mice. Having to lift the finger from the left mouse button for it to register a right click is stupid.

  • Missing built-in FDE is one of my main gripes with SteamOS. It's why I don't really do anything besides gaming on the Deck. It's a portable device that could easily be stolen or lost, so this seems like a major oversight.

  • If the apps wouldn't be slow React Native or whatever "multiplatform framework" crapware, then I'd actually say that well designed, native Swift UI (iOS) or Material (Android) apps can enhance the user experience for a lot of services that are otherwise offered via website. Native integrations with shortcuts, widgets, fully supporting accessibility features of the OS etc.

    The problem is most apps are just low-effort web app conversions.

  • -0.05% might be insignificant, but do you think it has to do with more games requiring kernel-level anti-cheat?

  • You have to sue every single storefront first as well and go cry to the press that companies don't want to do business with you when you break their ToS.
