Someone probably just did a crappy job converting HDR to SDR.

Will the chip actually last that long though? I would have expected a ceramic package with gold plated leads, not a plastic SOP-8.

Apple hardware is overpriced and they go out of their way to make it unrepairable.

It also makes the game look worse since you need to run it in 720p to get a playable frame rate, which requires non integer scaling on a 1080p screen. They could have gone with a 120Hz 720p OLED screen with variable refresh rate if they wanted a better screen than the Steam Deck for marketing reasons.

Why do they keep putting 1080p screens in the Steam Deck clones when they don't have enough GPU power to run most games in 1080p?

Torrents and usenet will get you high quality videos if that's what you want. Streaming sites are usually only have low bitrate videos.

I doubt many people would do that. You would have to intentionally set it up that way. Residential ISPs almost always supply a modem with a built in router which will have a firewall. You would have to set it to bridge mode, enable the DMZ, or use your own modem.

I haven't connected a computer directly to the internet since I used dial-up.

The quality of Google search results has been rapidly declining over the last few years. It's not really even worth using anymore.

I found a website that showed my how to use RSS feeds to automatically download TV shows. Having my favorite shows download automatically overnight was very convenient. There was no streaming services for TV shows back then and even if there was, my internet was way too slow for that. I had a portable media player with a massive 80GB hard drive that I could load my pirated TV shows and ripped DVDs on when I was away from home.

I wonder how long it will be before someone ports it to Linux

When support is hidden away in discord, web searches can't find it. Nobody can even look through it without having an account.

A lot of people use Github because it's easy to use and popular. Not everyone wants to self host, although it would be nice if the larger projects did. What I really hate is when open source projects use something like disord for support.

And of course those expensive chargers will become bricks when the company goes out of business or just decides to stop supporting them.

I wish laptops would start including SFP+ ports instead of a file transfer feature that only works on certain Intel CPUs.

They can reduce the price as much as they want, but I still won't pay for it until they get rid of the DRM.

It's not even an issue with java. Apps ran fine on the original Android devices with single core CPUs and half a gig of RAM or less. It's just that developers get lazier as more powerful hardware become available. Nobody cares about writing well optimized code anymore.

If Google and Apple required all apps to run smoothly on low end hardware from 5 years ago, we would be using our phones until the wear out rather than having to upgrade every couple of years if the batteries are replaceable.

We need some that are fully open source software and hardware. I'm tired of all of the proprietary crap.

You must live somewhere dry. I have to keep my filament in a box with silica gel.

I prefer OSM since I can use the maps offline. Google maps is useless out in the middle of nowhere without any cell service.

This is worse than a streaming service dropping a show. They are removing the ability to play digital files that people purchased.
