Yep, this is more in line with what I expect as a steam deck competitor. We’ll just see if they can provide more value to customers than steam while also making good hardware to support it.

No, MSI or ASUS or really any other hardware company (that primarily sells hardware) makes money from selling hardware. Valve main source of income is their steam service, not the deck. For any deck they sold, they could make a loss but they gain revenue by a first time gamer. Much like how console can be sold at a loss but making the profit from the game they sold. The primary difference between traditional console and steam deck is that any hardware competitor to steam deck is still a win for valve since they also mostly profit from sales on their steam service. Thus my point, any hardware company is not valve primary rival since if a consumer chose steam deck, valve wins, but if they chose the competitor, valve wins too. Epic, Ubisoft, and EA or whoever else that tries to provide the same service like valve should be their primary competitor.

To be honest, any hardware company can’t really compete with valve toe to toe since valves can cut cost and sell at a loss. But I am interested in how the so-called steam competitor would make the same handheld device. I’m waiting for you Tim Epic.

- Comment on Sony Music warns AI companies against “unauthorized use” of its content 5 months ago:
Words can be copyrighted and licensed. Otherwise books and scientific journals protection are also meaningless. What some commenters do is just stating that their content is licensed under a certain term in the addition of whatever else the EULA/ToS for the service imposed on, provided there is no conflict.
- Comment on Adobe comes after indie game emulator Delta for copying its logo 5 months ago:
Huh. To be fair, I can see A on adobe logo but also delta on the delta logo. I think the negative space on the adobe logo makes the A more stand out, but the delta logo isn’t using much of the negative space, hence the delta is more prominent. But I don’t know if that is enough to not be trademark infringement.
- Comment on Google patches its fifth zero-day vulnerability of the year in Chrome 6 months ago:
I think the language is fair here since there are a lot of developers working on chrome. The language enabling mistakes like this is the fault because the sheer size of the project itself makes it unlikely any single person understands the whole codebase in detail. But then again, the C++ version used also matters since modern C++ also has tools to avoid footguns, but chrome predates those tools so shit is already set in stone.
- Comment on Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment 7 months ago:
This may be a bit convoluted, but I think its the only way. You have to install 2 apps on the PC and phone. One for controlling the PC, and second for your phone to stream the display to PC. The first one, I don’t know any good one but maybe some simple SSH is suffice. The second is scrcpy. It is an app that lets you stream your phone to the desktop/PC
