The amount of money they make off credit cards is insanity. Not to mention the money they make off lending out other peoples’ money from their savings and the audacity they give back in savings is crazy.

As if they need any more money.

it’s for the children!

They said as they erode more freedom/privacy for the general population.

Close, but it was “don’t be evil”.

Yeah we should be shaming companies that do this sort of shit.

OP, please tell us which brand designed this. I’d love to know to stay away from their crap as much as possible.

Think of all the money Nintendo lost over people playing that custom content that was paying homage to their beloved titles! Man, sure glad Nintendo scared them into taking those down.

No one will ever convince me that they didn’t know what they were doing with this.

I have a Chromebook and it’s ridiculous how difficult they made it to install another OS.

I eventually did, but I needed to get something to flash a third party boatloader and at first I was told my laptop was not supported.

But getting an actual Linux distro has been so much better than ChomeOS.

Exactly what Nintendo was hoping for. I can’t blame the developers, though. But this sucks.

Old ass game systems where it’s practically impossible or expensive to get the physical games anymore, let alone the console, with some titles locked to those systems, never to be enjoyed again except through emulation.

Ask it what happened on June 4, 1989

Priced way too fucking high and Ford didn’t do anything about dealerships marking up on an already absurd price.

I will never forget test driving a Maverick and the salesman bragging about how his dealership put a $75k markup on the Lightnings just because they could.

Put a sour taste in my mouth for anything Ford ever again in the future.

I hope they ditch Windows and use SteamOS or any Linux variant at this point.

The Steam Deck’s OS is one of its best features and Windows is not viable for handheld devices.

And what’s better is that it’s free! There is no reason to slap on an extra $100 to pass onto the consumer because you had to pay some corporation a license for using their OS, giving them more market share they don’t deserve.

One of the best and most needed features of a handheld has to be the standby feature too. The ability to “lock” the device mid-gameplay and come back to it is not only good but necessary. Windows doesn’t have anything like this but SteamOS on the Deck does!

And if they want to one-up the Deck, PLEASE give us more than one USB port. Even if it is USB Type C and a USB A port, that’s better than one port that has to be shared for charging and everything else.
