I was considering a Galaxy Tab for the included stylus and OLED screen for media consumption. This upgrade for the new Air really isn’t exciting me a whole lot considering what I can get with the Galaxy, but I do agree with you on I just prefer the feel of iOS to Android, and I have used both...

I'm due to upgrade my old iPad Air 2, but given my use case, I'm honestly leaning toward a Galaxy Tab at this point, despite my satisfaction with my iPhone. Just wondering if I want to do the whole two-ecosystems thing, but I just think the Galaxy Tab as more value out of the box for what I...

I thought it was a creative ad and people are overreacting, but that's just me. People are saying "how can they destroy those beautiful creative tools", but like guys, they're mass produced in a factory, you can get more. They didn't crush a one of a kind Stradivarius violin.

I never said the Deck was selling better than a Switch. I never even made that suggestion. I do think it's sold well under the circumstances it was launched, in an emerging market. Valve seems to agree, because they've already said they will be making a Deck 2, which they would not be doing...

Nintendo also has decades of experience creating and marketing console systems and video games with a devoted following built up over many years. Valve created a device for a market which, outside of a few niche players, basically didn’t exist, and when it did consisted of devices from small...

The Steam Deck has not been a poor seller, I’m not sure who told you that. They’ve sold millions of Decks and proved the viability of handheld PC gaming in the process. I have one and I love it. It’s a product designed by gamers who understood their target customer. The Ally has some nice...

AMD (and Nvidia) is what happens when you let an engineer run a technology company. Intel is what happens when you let a finance person run a technology company.

It doesn’t mean we need to give up Steam at all. I buy games on Steam that STILL require another launcher to open up when I click to play it, which is wholly unnecessary, as would be the creation of an additional account to play a game I’ve already bought on Steam.

Can we just go back to not having a account and launcher for every single piece of software? I'm sick and tired of having accounts and launchers all over the place. Can't I just install something and use it like a normal person?

Intel needs to develop competitive GPUs as a matter of survival at this point, so I would say the chance that Battlemage and Celestial are cancelled is basically zero. A delay is believable, but not a cancellation.

Unfortunately there isn't much in terms of choice for most people. Linux doesn't run everything most people need to run and requires more computer literacy. I'm running Windows 11 myself. If it were up to me, I'd still be on 7, but the support is gone. In any case, shout out to Lakados for...

Gamers want AMD to lower their prices so Nvidia lowers theirs, and then they buy Nvidia. AMD knows this and will likely just continue with their "10% less than Nvidia" pricing strategy.

People are switching because they have to, no necessarily because they want to. I’d wager you’d still have a solid number of people who will tell you they’d still be on 7 if it still received security and vulnerability updates.

I'm actually still using the one I bought back in 2002 believe it or not. Got my money's worth out of that purchase.

Remember back in the day when we used antivirus programs to hunt down and eliminate spyware that were tracking our every move and sending data back to the mothership, completely invading our privacy? And then Microsoft saw that spyware and decided to turn it into an operating system?
