It’s a neat idea, but I suspect there are just so many variables it will be as accurate as taking your temperature by sticking your finger up your arse and guessing…

Most savvy PC gamers will have a pretty good idea how well a given game will run on their rig already. If the game is old it’ll run well (providing it doesn’t crash due to oddities in really old games), and as long as it’s more powerful than a PS5 there should be at least some combination of settings that will let you run any new title.

None if you want it to work on consumer hardware.

That is optimistic.

There doesn’t seem to be anything in the EU regulations about DRM on batteries, so there’s almost certainly going to be a chip on there with a code embedded in it.

New batteries available at just 90% of the price of a new console. Oh, sorry. You have the version 1.3 console, we only still make batteries for the 1.4 console and above.

My CV1 died a few weeks ago. I fancy the Steam Frame, but I’ll wait for release before deciding. I hate Meta, but do I hate them for several times the price of a Quest…

I actually had that happen on the Android one a few years ago. I’m guessing the Apple one is years behind.

If only social media was still full of humans…

I’d rather use an Android TV box, so I can have Dolby Vision, etc.

Soooo, when’s this shit coming out?

My old CV1 has finally snuffed it (probably the cable) so I’m finally in the market for a new one.

It seems we lack the courage for number 2 on its own merit.

Maybe when Greenland is invaded…

We do want to prevent free speech.

We also have good reason to block far right US psy ops from operating in the UK.

Both of these things can be true.

I was expecting PS5 performance at PS5 Pro prices.

The recent leaks will be including 21% VAT in Czech Republic too. It’s about the same as the PS5 Pro in the UK.

It’s not a great value proposition, but depends how much you value open source.

Because you want something you can control.

It’s no good if you wake up one morning and find “Let’s finish setting up your PC :)” on 10,000 machines that have been working for ten years.

If all my software updates at once, how will I know which one broke everything?

The latter.

I’m fully expecting this to be triple the price of the Quest 3S.

Can it also redact text from documents without allowing you to just copy and paste it back out again?

Asking for a friend.

The company I work for actually already tried it like 20 years ago, got immediately scammed with an expensive credit card chargeback (we’d already passed the money on) and the boss pulled the plug on it.

I think most shops don’t want you to see competitors prices and be able to swap to them with a click. They were like walled gardens and only begrudgingly use Amazon because some people think the rest of the internet is scary and don’t trust it.

Amazon already shows us where that approach goes. It results in a melting pot of the cheapest possible crap.

“That’s a great idea, Dave. You can definitely climb over that mountain.”
