So you’re angry that a Google service doesn’t have longevity on an Apple product?

Your argument makes no sense. Who even cares if these ancient paperweights work? That’s not “planned obsolescence”, that’s just hardware and software getting old.

Well there was no such thing as the “iPhone 3”. There was the iPhone 3G or the iPhone 3GS, but no “iPhone 3”.

And this doesn’t prove anything lol an iPhone 3G can still connect to a 3G network and make calls and browse the internet.

“Planned obsolescence”? Like where the iPhone 7 and on have received 6 to 7 years of software updates?

Is there any risk of getting banned by installing it using this method?

Cool story, bro. You hate boats and the people that enjoy them. We get it.

We’ve known about the X everything app for months now. Elon hasn’t been hiding the fact that he wants to compete with all major forms of social media. Twitter’s acquisition was only the first step. Soon it will be YouTube and Twitch competition, then Instagram, etc.

Sir, we’re talking about boats.

“Hey! This guy believes people should be allowed to own nice things that they enjoy! Get him!”

I disagree, but I also don’t have a problem with people or companies being wealthy enough to make or own them, either.

Electric boats seem like a great idea, especially with all the pollution the really large cruise ships put out. I’m happy to finally see this become mainstream. On the water there’s nothing to really get in the way of solar panels, either, so it makes sense to have them for charging.

Great to hear. The Intel NUC series was great for some power efficient devices for homelabs and self-hosting. Great upgrade options, too.

Sometimes I forget that Skyrim is that old.

Depends on the game. Older games and 2D games I expect 60FPS at native resolution with a lot of the graphical options enabled. Morrowind, Stardew Valley, Doom 3, etc.

Newer games I don’t mind turning down the graphical options to try and score that 45-60FPS. Cyberpunk, Jedi Fallen Order, Skyrim, etc.

I’m excited to see the M3 and what it can do, especially with the rumours from March about the M3’s benchmarks on GeekBench.

I assume they’ll discount it again during either the autumn or winter sales. Maybe both.

Considering the Steam Deck accounts for a huge portion of Linux installs, I think flatpaks are going to be here to start and only grow in popularity.

I have to ask though, why do people dislike flatpaks?

I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.
