Prior to the A11 chip they used PowerVR designed GPUs. They weren't done in house.
It's also been re-released on Nintendo Switch as a part of Arcade Archives.
They own Minecraft, Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Diablo...
The first few years. By the end it was supposedly profitable for Sony.
Even then they don't include everything on the disc. If you buy anime on Blu-ray or DVD it's really common to get both the original Japanese audio and the English dub. Even on iTunes they are often separate releases…
No, but they're also monetizing a bunch of extra ways that they weren't in the past. In the PS2 era, Sony made money from the cut of physical games and accessories and maybe the console itself if it was purchased far…
Yes, Kobo, Google Play Books both carry them.
That hasn't been my experience on SteamOS and Bazzite. Generally the keyboard pops and you can enter text, occasionally you do need to do it manually but even then text still works. On my GPD Win Mini I actually have…
I can never remember the data.table syntax, every time I use it I have to re-learn it. It doesn't feel very SQL to me either. There is an interface to use tidy syntax on data.tables and get's you 90% of the speed.
Have you used XR glasses (e.g., from Rokid or Viture)? If so, how do they compare for that use case?

Blu-ray is more annoying. DVD has one key used forever. Blu-ray has constantly changing keys. The LibreDrive firmware still needs the new keys to decrypt the disc but the drive won't refuse (like the server drive in the…
That's what modern Surfaces are. The consumer models have been Qualcomm SnapDragon based since 2024, they are pretty fast, battery life is pretty good and you can do whatever you want. Although native Linux support…
Forever only means 9 more years apparently.
Only if they are DRM-free. And only if they are in a compatible format. It's a solvable problem for techies in a lot of instances but for mainstream users it's pretty close to bricking.
It's not. It's really not. It's 14 years of you can still access the store and buy stuff. That's not that good. You can buy a DVD and it'll still work on 25+ year old players. You can still buy digital content on an…
What's wild is they STILL haven't built a mouse with two switches for clicking. Right clicking is on all their mice/trackpads faked with things like touch sensors. They are just dead set against it for some reason even…
All the modern mainstream eReaders have offline dictionary support. Some of them you can add custom dictionaries to. Not sure what's special about the "Livio" apps but they do exist.
I went to school too. Sometimes at school we would do presentations using a projector connected by HDMI, maybe you could get away with the room computer but that only had USB A ports being some ancient desktop.…
I know. But iGPUs aren't there yet, and once you add a discrete GPU it becomes a lot more expensive. You can get a PS5 digital at GameStop for $400 new right now. A decent similar GPU like a Arc 580 or Radeon RX 7600 or…
No you can't. Even at the raised prices. And if your argument includes used prices don't forget you can buy used consoles too.
Yeah, but that USB 3 port has to do a lot of heavy lifting. It 's also the only video out port making decent dongles a necessity. On a $600 PC it's not uncommon to have USB A (at 3.0 speeds), HDMI in addition to USB C…
That's not how long they will provide software support. It's how long you can get a hardware repair. Some "vintage" products will get current software support but not others. Some products have lost software support…
You can get DisplayPort KVMs. As a nice bonus the KVM will let you share a single mouse and keyboard set between them.
For the SNES, from what I heard it was partially because with the flat topped NES, Nintendo of America got a lot of repairs from kids spilling soda or whatever on the NES they were using as a table. For the SNES, they…
