iPad works more like a terminal environment than a standalone device. Don’t expect running piracy software directly on it, but you get a pretty good experience connecting to your home server.

Most snes RPGs arguably aren’t better for their length.

Plagiarism is obviously a word with very strong negative connotations. If you want to discuss the technology and it’s differences between a different solution that tries to solve the same problem and not accuse someone of stealing, it’s usually best not to use this type of language in general.

Wouldn’t the unfair advantage only hold water if they blocked unauthorized accessories only with online multi-player games and leave single-player experiences alone?

With an external USB disk drive you can.

It’s a toy for people who are interested in hacking/pentesting. Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone, but without the toy like aspects.

Tbh you can do literally everything that a PC can with a phone. Doesn’t mean that a phone is the most fun to use for whatever you’re trying to use it for.

Beehaw doesn’t have downvotes enabled. We try to be positive here.

No one here says they have data that disproves it though?

They’re the “political cartoon” of gamers.

It’s baffling especially because all of the other handhelds ship with a desktop operating system by default.

Are you talking about how they fired a transphobe, or about something else?

Honestly these days it’s much more difficult to find a good pirate copy compared to getting a working copy you pay for that yeah, if I put in the effort to pirate a game, I’m going to play it. Though I do enjoy having a really large steam library, so I usually just buy something just so it grows.

Dual screen was a great feature with a handheld with two tiny screens. They tried it with WiiU on the home console and it was a massive failure. The Switch maybe doesn’t have dual screens, but the single screen is bigger than even the 3ds screens combined and they managed to port almost all WiiU exclusives to it with minimum loss of functionality.

Maybe the revolutionary feature was the added screen real estate the dual screens allowed for instead of there just being two screens.

I pay for premium.

I spend like 20x time on YouTube compared to other premium streaming services, knowing the money at least partially goes to the creators and that it’s usually a much larger source of revenue than the midroll ads (and the fact I spend like 40% of my watch time on an iPad) makes it pretty worth it to me. Other than that I use uBlock on medium/high, but if there was an extention that could skip the sponsor segments inside the videos themselves I’d use it in a heartbeat.

Proton is a great company with a pretty good record, but I wouldn’t recommend them for passwords when Bitwarden exists. Proton only open-sources their clients, and for service based offerings like mail or VPN I don’t care about the servers being open-source, but for password management I want to be able to host my own (making sure that self-hosted mail gets properly received by Gmail is pain and self-hosting a huge VPN network is basically impossible).

Brave is based on Chromium, not Firefox.

Going to live as a digital nomad. Living in my eBussy camper van, traveling with my Ducati Futa electric bike.

They’re perfectly capable of running old games, they proved it times and times again. They just don’t want them to be backwards compatible so you have to buy them again.

I really can’t stress how good PaperWM is in combination with a touchpad. I wouldn’t recommend it at all on a mouse-only environment, but when you can use multitouch gestures to scroll through the workspace it works really well.

Or allow you to accidentally skip cutscenes when you didn’t mean to.
