Valve isn’t pulling any anticompetitive moves though. They just try to secure profits by being the best instead of destroying everyone else that dares to compete with them.

There’s a lot they could have done, locking down Linux isn’t that hard. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s based on Gentoo, yet it’s locked down completely. All they had.to do is lock the BIOS, enable secure boot and disable root access, and then it’s pretty much a locked system.
Nintendo was super competent with the Switch, their kernel is actually ridiculously secure. I’m pretty sure if Nvidia hadn’t messed up, we would still be scratching our heads with the Switch.
It’s not impossible or even hard to lock down Linux. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s Gentoo based, but with the bootloader locked and root access removed, it is pretty much immutable.
And Chromebooks just use off the shelf parts.
If only they offered a solderless version.
The new engine is finally out for PC, nice. That means better performance in endgame maps.
You can do that, but be aware, upscaling with FSR takes a performance hit. It’s not a big one but can make the difference between stable and unstable 30FPS.
Yup. Standard 2230 M.2
In most it doesn’t matter, but in some newer games like Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, the difference is massive.
Can you point me to a $350 laptop with similar specs? And the form factor is the whole selling point, duh.
Yes, but shader caches always go to the internal memory, so that will fill up even if the games themselves are installed to the SD card.
I got the 64GB and swapped the SSD for a bigger one. It was painless and now I have 1TB of internal memory for less than the price of the 256GB model.
Bad management mainly. The cofounders fought and one basically expelled the other. And then there’s the bad choices like removing .deb support by default. Also, it’s a bit buggy nowadays.
I still remember fondly when elementary was relevant. It’s been a while.
Unless you’re Nintendo, they have their cake and eat it too.
Customization is a big selling point after all. Just see how much hype there was for iOS 15 only because you could finally customize the lock screen.
Yeah, Infinity feels less polished, but expected considering how much older Sync is. The Android subsystem has worked well, I used the script that adds Google Play services so my purchases are synced between phone and desktop.
I don’t have iOS devices, but I already installed Sync on my desktop (W11 Android subsystem) and laptop. So I’m getting the same experience everywhere, with the added benefits of tablet mode on desktop.
Sync uses Material You. It’s using the colors of your wallpaper. And you can customize the theme manually on settings.
That parity thing was debunked 2 years ago when a similar lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, their parity thing is for resold Steam keys, which Valve issues with no profit margin. Milberg London are trolls that tried to do the same lawsuit against Sony and PlayStation last year. Also got nowhere.
