Rosetta is full emulation. This sounds more like a hypervisor.

I imagine that AMD is more motivated to keep Microsoft/Sony happy than Nvidia is to keep Nintendo happy.

I don’t think it’s about making anyone happy, it’s about feasibility. From NVidia’s point of view, the first Switch was a throw-away project made up of already way outdated components. They literally just gave them the then currently in development NVidia Shield Tablet (meant for PC game streaming and Android apps) and let Nintendo stick the controllers to the side and port their 3DS operating system over. It was cobbled together to have a Wii U replacement relatively quickly.

Adding transistors for hardware-level backwards compatibility probably has more downsides on a portable console than benefits.

an almost 10 years old mario kart is still at full price is crazy

True but at least with physical media you can buy used.

don’t let yourself be scammed.

When entire industries are forming informal cartels, there is little individual consumers can do. That’s why antitrust authorities exist.

Trump Tariffs have nothing to do with the Switch 2 prices in Europe. Everybody incl. Nintendo is just hiking prices because they can.

I’m locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.

This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.

I don’t think Gabe has any interest in that. He’s so filthy rich, at this point everything is just a hobby paid from change he found under a couch cushion.

Also: EA cannot afford Valve.

You’re single-handedly saving this entire thread. I was about to delete it for being off topic.

You still need a HDR-capable screen.

it makes sense, now, why Valve would choose KDE for the Steam Deck (which has a touchscreen).

I like my Steam Deck but I must be honest here: Desktop Mode, which is Plasma 5 and not the latest 6.x release, is trash on that touch screen. It just a shrunken regular desktop. You can use some environment variables to affect a few QtQuick applications but the results are mixed. There are KDE applications what are designed for mobile but don’t even consider the possibility of anything but portrait screen orientation. SteamOS doesn’t ship with a proper Maliit keyboard, it’s just Steam’s built-in one which never pops up automatically outside of Steam and Steam games.

Plasma 5 on that tiny screen isn’t enjoyable at all. It kinda, sorta works but I’m happy the touch pads exist.

I’ve got a couple of reports that this is not about the Fediverse. It took me a while to be able to look at the reports and since some almost entirely Lemmy-focused discussions have taken place, so I’m leaving this post up because of the discussions.

This is not a precedent to post random off topic stuff, though.

People invested in the Xbox ecosystem probably already have one, though.

they might catch a breath thanks to how good this year’s lineup is

The lineup Microsoft’s higher ups and/or shareholders make them release on PlayStation and Switch 2 as well because the takeover of ABK sunk too much money and Xbox alone cannot recuperate it. The games that don’t get released on Sony and Nintendo consoles usually work better on PC, even though they add artificial and ridiculous raytracing demands in Indiana Jones and Doom Dark Ages (the PS5 are less demanding versions, so that alternative exists).

There is less reason than ever to get an Xbox console.

Yeah, especially for new AMD hardware a rolling release distribution is must have. My personal recommendation is openSUSE but the specific pick is secondary.

What I’d like to see is for the “real” gamepad icon to broadly match the current one in color scheme and orientation.

Edit:

My attempt. It’s a simple color swap of https://github.com/KDE/breeze-icons/blob/559782c5f5b455646d6c012fe5717057d5eb7764/icons/devices/64/input-gaming.svg

I feel like Windows tries with every change to push it’s users to Linux.

Even their core applications move to being web based.

There are other vision conditions where people cannot see letters in dark mode that well. Apps and websites should just follow whatever the OS setting is, no matter the motivation of the user. Even if it’s just a matter of taste and not some form of eye sight condition, it’s just as valid.

PixelDroid is a client that supports dark mode.

Look, someone reported this as misinformation. Too bad me, the active mod here, gets pain in the eyes, sometimes flickering vision, and sometimes what I would describe as sea sickness from staring onto bright white screens. When I have no other choice because work, I invert all screen colors but sometimes correct colors are important.

So yeah, no proper dark mode means it’s a crap app.

I’ve always assumed Meta’s investment in Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility was purely to show the EU, “Hey look, we’re trying to follow the open standard.”

Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility isn’t available in the EU. European Threads profiles cannot enable ActivityPub federation.
