The base already exists, wine is leveraging qemu for the cpu arch emulation and already has the windows translation layer.
I don’t expect them to actually do it, but it would be on the same scale of a project as the proton project that’s worked so well for the with the deck.
Maybe epic will do it to get a real deck competitor online, not that I trust those jackals to do it right.
Steam could step in with a proton layer if they wanted to. Android is technically linux already and the newest snapdragon stuff is comparable to the steam deck in raw power.
We’re ripe for some multiplatform shenanigans.
Wait until the new iPhone kills the mobile gaming market. It’s probably going to be more powerful than the switch 2. Slap on a backbone controller or a dock and you don’t need a game console at all.
The current gen android stuff is also pretty capable but nobody makes games that aren’t gacha trash for android.
Pushing the leading edge of phone design opens new use cases, it’s not always just about “doing the same shit, slightly faster”
Yeah, the thing is what, 36x9? They’re banana phones or something now.
“Why don’t we sell more phones?”
Puts out a phone at 200% the cost per specs, ignores the biggest high end market and blows their marketing money 18 months early on every single release.
The couldn’t do this worse if they tried.
It sure would be nice if the bar was the rational one of “better” but people aren’t rational. It’s literally never going to be good enough, because even if it were perfect it still can’t be used.
Musk is ready to sell freeze peaches by the bushel over on x.
And get a discount for letting the cable company claim they have cable TV to scam money from ESPN.
Do we say “fuck a shit pie” anymore?
It’s better to buy three used phones that are more powerful and cheaper and keep those out of the landfill than a fairphone.
I know this philosophy has to start somewhere but it’s just bad from a value, performance and supported accessories view.
Buy a usbc dac for everything you have with that plug from 1975. Join us in the modern world.
The most compelling fairphone hardware is like getting the award for tallest dwarf.
I wish matrix would catch on too. Basically every non US app is still tied to a damn phone number for auth, so it’s not better than sms for mobility anyway.
It’s too bad that your friendship isn’t more important than ten minutes of inconvenience for them to install a different app or to give you their actual phone number.
I find the size of the phone is super important to me so I also use phonesized.com to compare it to whatever my current handset is.
Do what the constitution says you have the power to do. Have the usps create a modern communication system that gives connectivity to every home in the USA.
We could have done fiber to the home three times over for what the ISPs have stolen since the 80s.
Just in time for Nintendo to commandeer another chipset.
Technically it’s a “bigger fool” scam.
The cheapest entry price with the most expensive ongoing cost?
Obviously it’s because people are stupid.
