Is probably the most “legitimate feeling” giving experience. You can be a legitimate owner of a copy of a game and use a random iso dump of the very same game, but just plug the actual thing gives different strokes.

Laws are those things that anytime touch you and the people around you, should always raise red flags; even (and especially) if they come from people you like… you won’t get people like the MAGA so forcefully fed in any BS if this was a common practice.

Once you haven’t raised red flags on politician you like… you’ll risk to be trapped forever in the shame you share with them.

It must be some kind of fresh new marketing system, I would call it the “Star Citizen” marketing system.

Typo fixed.

I do usually mirror on archive.org/archive.is (whoever save the page first) when a website become annoying with unreasonable amount of popup (“please log”, “please install our app”, “please eat our spyware cookie”, “please pay subscription if you don’t want to sell your data”)… All this on net positive of ublock already blocking most crap.

My reading is this: Nintendo is paying a lawyer firm that, unfortunately for Nintendo, can’t do all the things Nintendo dream (ie: physically slap in the face whoever is NOT actively give them money) because they loss most cases, and when they lose a case… that’s a precedent.

However, the lawyer firm is taking money from Nintendo, and they would like to keep doing so; unfortunately for them “doing nothing” is not a good call to keep the Nintendo money flow in their pocket.

So, they figured this out:

Point A: Microsoft want to be friend with Nintendo (Nintendo publish few games on Google’s Android and MS hope Nintendo will consider MS’s stores too).

Point B: Microsoft own Github, and Github has to please whosoever Microsoft wants pleased)

Point C: lawyer send letter to MS-github: “we represent Nintendo, and Nintendo would be pleased if you do this unlawful thing and you show off your shitty EULA against these poor bugger like it was actual law”. MS-Github obbey hoping some Mario’s money will come in MS-store later or extremely later (which is “sooner or late”, but for very desperate simp)

Point D: lawyer present Nintendo their “doing” as it was actual lawyer job to ignorant morons; being as such, Nintendo pays.

Qualcomm is provider for the next coming Steam Frame, which is an ARM platform planned to run X86 videogames through Valve’s Fex. Their active interest in kernel Linux may be driven more by Android and broad challenge against Intel/AMD in the desktop/laptop industry, but ARM Linux PC gaming is posed to be there by the time Valve’s FEX begin rolling like proton itself is doing today.

The problem with employees and employed is that the thing goes the other way around… unfortunately.

Can’t be 25% = it could be correct if the “other 25%” was 24 or 26 (or even 25.000001). Since there are two 25%, the 25% change is raised, nullify the 25% prediction. Can’t be 50%, because there are other two different options in addition to fifty in fifty-fifty; so 50% (or fifty-fifty) don’t exist as option.

Can’t be 0%, because 0% is a very specific assertion that can’t ever be true due to paradox (if you “guessed”, you nailed it 100%)

Result: malformed question, no one is valid… The best you can have is 25%, which is still wrong, but I thing is the closer to approximate. Ideally the question would reform as:

Option A: 25% Option B: 50% Option C: 0%

I just wish Valve would try to deliver the SteamMachine in form of barebone: without ram and storage. So customers can find their own way to build their PC.

…and once freed from ram cartel, push for a very alluring price on par with what they did with the SteamDeck.

Other than the broad “Microsoft hate” people is thinking about, there are two reason I can think about; and none about Gaben being a Microsoft’s scorned ex-employer.

1. conflict of interest: Microsoft’s EEE. Look it up. If they rule the OS on which majority of Steam Hardware work on, Microsoft rules on a competitors against it’s “Xbox experience”.
2. Microsoft doesn’t allow open source drivers to officially run on Windows. Any hardware driver must be done, paid, by close doors at Valve and no extra help as the whole community around mesa and affiliated. There’s a reason why Valve is skipping Nvidia on basically everything.

“Barebone” market does exist, and since market couldn’t exist without money… I guess there are “money-bringing entities” (aka customers) already for that sort of stuff. …but electric cars without batteries and wheels market? not quite sure about that.

Not sure how it became a ‘Steam Machine rival’.

Is a Steam Machine rival in the sense that Valve has to bent and pray to ram cartel to have a batch of machines to sell; AOOSTAR don’t. Of course, AOOSTAR doesn’t have the reaching power of Valve; but this may help Valve to understand there are options to what the ram cartel forces them into.
