i cannot tell if this is supposed to be satire or moronic.

that said… “surprisingly frugal” covers a lot of ground, I mean this would be meaningless if it was earnest, just as if it is fake.

4k streaming (compressed) requires ~32Mbps or 4MBps … the game car’s transfer speed is in the realm of 400MBps apparently (though admittedly i can’t find a good source for that)

and yeah the internal storage is faster again… 50% faster than cart (or 66.7% in loading time of the game cart) but if that was a showstopper …

if anything they chose not to optimise “streaming” of storage… and famously you can’t watch 4K or FHD over the internet which is faster than local storage

yeah… I don’t buy it. The cost of carts never came up cause they were never gonna do carts - they had the option not to. The SD cart performance does appear to be ~22% faster than gamecart… but given there is no performance difference on the steamdeck I have doubts

but that is the beauty - OSX had a really good terminal app, and for users that will have issues not having to use the CLI is great. A must in fact.

but yeah Linux/BSD definitely great for more advanced users. Mostly i use MacOS on an M4 cause it is a great all rounder.

now about that cyberdeck…

if UI was king OS X would have won. Windows is the torture most people learnt to live with. Linux is great and to my surprise outdoes MacOS in some ways, but GNU/Linux devs are too ok with going to the CLI to fix bits, so end users will not be able to follow.

But damn Win11 is bad & getting worse

I was so over hearing about Elon and down about people losing their jobs … but yeah, great book, story well told.

you didn’t lose your way cause the country didn’t vote for a woman, you lost your way before that, that merely was an early symptom…

and it’s the kind of irony that comes back to bite …

there is a certain irony in a documentary (series or otherwise) about Kaepernick is not allowed to be played…

isn’t that the plot of “the last temptation of christ”? … it’s been a long time since i watched that…

could be worse, windows 8 was fine with a free add-on, not like windows 11 that finds new ways to frustrate on a consistent basis.

if one woman has one baby in 9 month, how long does it take 9 women to have the same baby?
August 3, 2025 at 6:11 AM
yeah i agree if she walks for five hour the speed doesn’t matter… its like how petrol prices don’t fluctuate if you always buy $50 petrol…

and yeah I assumed they meant she walks for 2.5 hours at A and then 2.5 hours at 3A
