There’s a lot they could have done, locking down Linux isn’t that hard. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s based on Gentoo, yet it’s locked down completely. All they had.to do is lock the BIOS, enable secure boot and disable root access, and then it’s pretty much a locked system.

Nintendo was super competent with the Switch, their kernel is actually ridiculously secure. I’m pretty sure if Nvidia hadn’t messed up, we would still be scratching our heads with the Switch.

It’s not impossible or even hard to lock down Linux. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s Gentoo based, but with the bootloader locked and root access removed, it is pretty much immutable.

And Chromebooks just use off the shelf parts.

If only they offered a solderless version.

He had the rare treatable pancreatic cancer, and he didn’t treat it because he didn’t believe in modern medicine.

And those 2/3s shine through, the last big engine update for HL2 was in 2007. It still looks great.

The art direction is impeccable and it still shines for it.

To be honest, the biggest takeaway of the trailer is how well the original HL2 aged.

The new engine is finally out for PC, nice. That means better performance in endgame maps.

The left wing governments have messed up so much that the people are voting into the far right as a knee jerk reaction.

Android 14 isn’t out yet, those are beta screenshots. One UI 6 stable probably comes out in December.

You can do that, but be aware, upscaling with FSR takes a performance hit. It’s not a big one but can make the difference between stable and unstable 30FPS.

Yup. Standard 2230 M.2

In most it doesn’t matter, but in some newer games like Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, the difference is massive.

Can you point me to a $350 laptop with similar specs? And the form factor is the whole selling point, duh.

Yes, but shader caches always go to the internal memory, so that will fill up even if the games themselves are installed to the SD card.

I got the 64GB and swapped the SSD for a bigger one. It was painless and now I have 1TB of internal memory for less than the price of the 256GB model.

It’s quite more powerful actually. Sits comfortably above the PS3 and X360.

Bad management mainly. The cofounders fought and one basically expelled the other. And then there’s the bad choices like removing .deb support by default. Also, it’s a bit buggy nowadays.
