I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same sound as it’s so high pitched that most people older than me are unable to even hear it while people my age or younger can clearly identify it. If that’s supposed to be a warning system, it doesn’t seem very good?
I mean I’m personally a public transport kinda person. I live somewhere where a car is really just a status symbol since even the cheapest car costs at least roughly 90k USD and most people take public transport.
Not super into cars but is there even any reason other than environmental friendliness to get an EV? Where I’m from, EVs are all wildly expensive compared to their combustion peers and they all frankly look really ugly to me. The coil whine of the EVs also drive me crazy.
The Deck’s controls. The Steam Controller was a bit too drastic of a change for me. It’s great for games not designed for a controller but having no D-pad and only a single analog stick is a deal breaker for most people who get a controller to play games designed for controllers.
The problem is that it was easier to get people to move to Telegram since it had an abundance of features compared to WhatsApp which was compelling for the average person that doesn’t care about encryption. Signal doesn’t have any of these features that make it enticing for the person.
Because there were still plenty of good games that came out after that?
I think the New 3DS had the best implementation. The swappable backplate were cool and provided easy but child safe access to the batteries behind 2 normal Phillips screws.
Because the people that would or can switch would already switch after it’s been posted for the 1000th time. It’s not realistic because the vast majority of people simply don’t care. People hate windows updates enough as it is, to most average people this is good news.
They added mod support to MS Store/Game Pass games ages ago. If locking it down like that was their intention they would’ve never even done that to begin with.
They’re also much better for local party games. That’s essentially what my Switch has become.
Compatibility for one. Also unpopular opinion here, but I actually like Windows and use it on my main desktop. So having everything run the same thing does add some conveniences. The only thing I really like about SteamOS right now is really just the battery life and the quick resume from sleep. If Windows gets those through this initiative, then I don’t really have any reason to stick with SteamOS.
I’m not sure if the price matters that much to the demographic. Their main target audience isn’t gonna consider a handheld gaming PC to begin with.
I think Black Ops 6 did a lot of really cool things for the story with a few open ended levels and a really cool segment in the middle won’t spoil. Story wise I think it is actually one of their better ones, it had the potential to be almost as good as Blops 1 if the ending wasn’t so rushed and failed to tie up the plot lines properly. I have a feeling it’s so that they could reuse the characters in Warzone which is a huge shame.
I would be interested if it also supported quick resume from sleep like the Deck does. Imo that’s the killer SteamOS feature that’s keeping Windows alternatives from being even a consideration.
Imo people should start with C first since it is a lot simpler than C++ while still providing a lot of what you mentioned. C++ adds a lot of things like name mangling, templates, L & R value references that can quickly make things a bit more daunting for beginners.
I also generally find error messages for C a lot more parsable for beginners than C++ ones.
I’m so grateful for Kotlin, it gets rid of so much of the annoyances in Java.
It’s only better imo if you set it to native resolution for the AA. If you set it to anything below that, there’s definitely still artifacting. It’s not crazy obvious but no way it’s not noticeable, especially if you have a larger screen.

Who the heck thought this was a good idea?
Drivers possibly? I don’t mean it as a dig at SteamOS, I’m just curious where the discrepancy is from.
Can’t you switch MS 2FA to use text or their authenticator?
