The apps run at less privileges than device management apps. They can’t do any of that

On a company device the owner (the company) is the end, and you’re just given the task of operating it.

It varies between jurisdictions, but in general, you better believe they have every right to investigate any suspicions regarding how company assets (work devices) are used and whether their agents may appear unprofessional when using official company communication channels (literally your work phone number, which is used in RCS messages).

In plenty of places there’s still privacy rights for employees, but their main purpose is generally preventing overbearing surveillance and protecting your personal data contents in personal communication channels (like if you’re using personal webmail on a work device).

I sold my Ouya and have an original Steam controller still

Even as a Linux desktop it would mostly just be interesting for devs and people doing relatively lightweight 3D design work (especially because it will take a while before other distros support it), I don’t see it competing against regular desktops.

Any company who depend on their employees having a decent GPU will likely want to be able to upgrade/reconfigure new orders at will, and will prefer a tower, and they will prefer the quick repairability of a tower. Those who don’t are increasingly ok with using mini PCs.

Rumors is that the original Zen CPU SoC in the Steam Deck was also the leftovers from another canceled project by “a major OEM”, so it’s plausible. Sounds like Microsoft planned a handheld Xbox much earlier, which years after the Deck turned into the ROG collaboration, could have been related

The secret trick is that they can do both.

The actual software target is their Steam Linux Runtime container. So all you need to install is the container environment, and if your 3rd party OS does that for you then you’re already done.

I’m sure somebody will make Moonlight work with it

You also need calibrated sensors and antennas to track the beacons, but OTOH it does have extension ports

They’re literally memeing on the store page about it being based on Arch (by the way)

There’s some slots for peripherals, so it’s definitely doable

I heard it from digital foundry

That was barely a year or two. Bitcoin wasn’t very popular globally speaking when the first ASICs already was in development, and in between the two there was FPGA mining

Not really. Wrong type of math, not practical to reuse to break cryptography. There’s similar techniques that can be used against some algorithms, but not when set up like that.

The current mainland China gov never had any real claims to it. The argument they use is the same as for why they believe they have the right to enforce Chinese law on Chinese people abroad, including having their own secret police in other countries, etc, they simply don’t accept being anything less than the sole authority and sole representative for everybody they consider to belong to any ethnicity which is “theirs”. The claims on the island doesn’t really have much to do with the island, but that it’s populated with people they consider theirs.

You’re allowed to use independent channels to organize unions, etc, BUT MAKE SURE THEY’RE SECURE

The market can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent

Official moderation is often worse than in community forums, lol. Overbearing in censored words, while not being active enough against abusive players.

That argument is absolute bullshit.

It’s not like anybody demands Microsoft must protect you from mean words if you connect Outlook to some random mail server. Games are no different.

The Gameboy Advance could connect to a GameCube and Wii (both as a controller and to link games), GBC and N64 had the transfer pak

IMHO that was the best era of games, besides the NDS. I absolutely want the return of mobile + stationary modes in games, especially local multiplayer games. The GBA could for example show private game state to its player when used as a controller for a GameCube game! And you could bring your characters to your friend’s games without needing an Amiibo, you just linked your consoles together.

Look how far this dude went to recreate it;

So the term you want to look for is telescoping controller, when you’ll use it with a foldable.

Something like this one would be perfect with a Razr for DS emulation (but beware you have to check minimum supported width too for a clamshell foldable);

If you have a split game controller, I recommend using that over touchscreen controls. And using a controller like this plays better with a vertically aligned foldable phone (clamshell) rather than the pseudo-tablet sideways foldables, as you fully recreate the original physical controller layout
