  • the S27 Ultra/Pro next year sounds like it’s shaping up to be a far more interesting device compared to any of the phones they released in the last few years.

    After reading this I googled it and what I read didn't sound super exciting. Just the regular spec bump and I'm skeptical of the reported RAM increase. Wouldn't be surprised if they cut RAM like everybody else. So unless you want a Ultra level model in a base level enclosure, I don't see what the "far more interesting device" is.

    I could get somewhat excited if someone made a Xperia Play type phone with a full FEX-enabled Steam client.

  • AI isn't a tool, it's an umbrella term applied to countless individual tools. Just a couple of years ago automated language translation wasn't AI. Now it is for whatever reason.

  • I like mine. Can't speak how much changed in recent generations because it's my first new phone in 4 years. Other than deleting Chrome and switching browsers to Iceraven and the launcher to Lawnchair as well as the keyboard to Gboard, I don't think I customized much. Slight tweaks here and there but for the most part I was pretty content with the defaults which is rare for me. In the past I may have been shocked by crap on new phones I needed to get rid of but I actually think most Samsung modifications to Android are pretty good and I often prefer the Samsung feature to whatever the Google counterpart is.

    I use that sidebar they have a lot. That AI Select thing is great and I set all Galaxy AI stuff to be on device. The only thing I dislike about AI Select is that a recognized song can only be played through Spotify which I don't use.

    I cannot speak for the entire range of devices out there but if a line of products is unobtrusively good for a long time, it surely retents its user base.

  • Xbox's CEO wants its games to cater to 'more than a billion people each day', or 24 times more than the peak population of Steam, which is delusional

    Jump

  • These different markets are served by the same "Xbox" branded gaming division at Microsoft, though. When she talks about Xbox reaching a billion users, she means all gaming output by Microsoft.

    Jump

  • "Xbox" is the umbrella term for everything gaming at Microsoft, including Candy Crush and Minecraft on mobile.

  • Steam is peanuts compared to phone games. Candy Crush Saga has over a billion downloads on Android alone where it's the #3 top grossing casual game. On Apple it's still the #21 puzzle game.

    I know that a billion overall downloads is different from a billion daily users. This is just to put it into perspective that Steam is not the benchmark when it comes to the overall number of gamers out there. Mobile is.

  • This is an id software that has only released sequels rehashing mechanics with no original new IP since 2010.

    id lost their touch when Bethesda bought them. All the cool modding stuff is gone. The last GPL engine release was Doom 3.

  • Russia in meltdown: Empty petrol pumps, battlefield humiliation and warnings of an uprising as net closes in on scrambling Putin... amid warnings he may do the unthinkable | Daily Mail Online

    Jump

  • This is a problem with much of UK media. The Telegraph has top tier Ukraine war reporting but I see pro Brexit crap in the sidebar every now and then.

    I posted the article because on its own it seemed fine to post, especially because it embeds a good amount of photos from social media. I don't have time to sift through endless social media feeds to find the original sources of the videos embedded in the article and when I happen to stumble upon an article I like, I also don't have time to do a background check of what the outlets publishes as well. I use ad blockers to block entire Recommended side bars and such which is why I often don't see whatever else websites write. I try to remember your heads up about the Daily Mail but there is a decent chance it'll escape me in a few weeks when I stumble upon the next Ukraine article by them.
