Epic’s dream is starting to come true — its store will be preinstalled on ‘millions’ of Android phones
  • It'll still be about whether Epic gets mobile ports or if Valve or another service streamlines and integrates a Proton/Winlator solution. Not the worst bloatware but I'm still holding out for something Steam based. It's mid-December and still waiting for the games EGS they said would start dropping before the end of the year

    Minisforum is an easily recognizable brand that is well-regarded for its lineup of mini PCs. The MS-A1 is one such mid-range offering that boasts an AM5 socket, and the product is now available to configure with the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X with a 100 W TDP, which happens to be an absolute monstrosity ...

    Intel Arc B580 Graphics Open-Source Driver Linux Gaming Performance
  • It doesn't have performance parity with Windows yet so for Linux a 7600/7600xt is better for gaming. Compute performance though is great in their other article so a matter of if you're planning to write ROCm or OneAPI code or just downloading applications and hoping for ROCm or OneAPI support

  • Valve may be working on a direct competitor to the Nvidia Shield
  • It'll primarily be a gaming device but if they did ever push to be a HTPC type box, Roku is more vulnerable than Google and Apple I think. I'd love to see HTPCs get another shot at the living room and get app support from the popular streaming services

    There's a whole bunch of hints and speculation going around right now, showing that Valve may be working towards a new kind of Steam Machine.

    FBI Warns iPhone And Android Users—Stop Sending Texts
  • The loophole in WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption is simple: The recipient of any WhatsApp message can flag it. Once flagged, the message is copied on the recipient's device and sent as a separate message to Facebook for review.

    That practically applies to every form of digital communication. Sender/recipient has it on their end unencrypted and passes/leaks it on elsewhere

    Nubia Red Magic 10 Pro review
  • I may buy one depending on how Winlator development goes. The recent hype has been people getting Steam installed and installing games directly from Steam. Worse performance than doing a per game container and customizing but that's a hassle

  • Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers)
  • That'll be nice. A lot of branding options there. Powered by SteamOS, that'll be nice for knowing that all the devices drivers have Linux support

    Steam Included, easiest win for manufacturers. Steam Deck is pretty much an older generation AMD laptop. Slapping Steam Included should be viable for most new laptops these days

    Steam Compatible, hardware shipped with approved controller inputs. I guess Android TV boxes shipped with a gamepad for Steam Link or GeForce Now

    Steam Link Compatible, that's practically any computing device with a WiFi card or Ethernet these days. I guess anything that doesn't have a gamepad included

    Christian Nationalists And Bigots Stump For Ken Paxton In SCOTUS Age Verification Case
  • After roe vs Wade and another 4 years of Republicans getting the chance to replace the old Republican appointees and maybe Sotomayor kicking the bucket, I wouldn't be surprised if the SC did enable some future bans in the next couple of decades

  • AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT rumor: flagship RDNA 4 GPU is 45% faster in RT gaming than 7900 XTX
  • What's mid range price now? I remember getting an ATI HD5770 for I think like $150 and then later a GTX 970 for like $320. Ten years ago for the 970 and that 970 had a 145w TDP. 5770 108w TDP

    8800xt after its price settles after half a year may be right for me

  • That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit
  • Didn't the Epic lawsuits against Apple and Google end up showing Valves Steam cut ended up working out to something closer to 20% after all the key sales and whatever other factors. Plus EGS already does less than 20% cut and it's been like 6+ years and that client is still bare bones and they don't even do gift cards or price lower. Same for Microsofts store which I believe is lower on PC while still 30% on console.

    Regardless at best this lawsuit would just mean an end to 3rd party steam key sales or Valve taking a 30% cut on those too. At best a victory against Valve would mean more expensive games with the loss of keysite stores pricing advantage

    Also games used to MSRP $10 cheaper on Steam when there was an argument that going digital was a major cost savings compared to physical products/packaging, shipping, and retailler cut. Eventually publishers stopped caring and made physical and digital prices the same while adding an assortment of DLC and subscriptions
