  • I would be the kind of kid who would like a switch over a Nintendo Switch. Mainly because I think if I was born later on in my life I would enjoy the switch a lot more. But that’s mainly because I’m a nerd and I hate locked down consoles and whatnot. Especially when games are 60 dollars 6 years later on the eshop.

    My 200 dollar android smartphone breaks all my laptops in all the benchmarks I ran on it that cost so much more than it. Legitimately though, I guess it doesn’t mean that much since there is very little I can compare it with. Minus saying “Oh look wow this web assembly thing runs faster on my smartphone than my cheap computers from eBay!”. Or “Roblox can look and run so much better on my smartphone than on my computer and not run at 20 fps!” Or also “Look at this benchmarking tool it scores higher on my smartphone!” Or also also also “Look at me ma I’m running emulators and ruffle flash-player games faster in the web browser on my phone than on my computer that can’t even run Run 3 at max settings!” Or also also “Look ma I can run Fallout New Vegas at higher settings and higher resolution and framerate than my new cheap 100 dollar mini PC or laptop from eBay!”. Honestly though if you just gave me a real operating system with the terrible mid tier soc in my phone and shoved it into a laptop with a real operating system. I think I would like that a lot more than the 100 watts my biggest laptop draws from the outlet that can’t even hardware encode video with an 8th Gen core i7 Intel with dedicated amd graphics. Like imagine the kind of power-draw a phone soc would have on a normal laptop battery all without paying up the ass for something that has the screen kill itself in 3 years thanks apple. Though but seriously minus the non upgradability of arm MacBooks and anti-repair nonsense; Apple seriously did wonders in taking their mobile silicon and expanding it into something really really great in the traditional computing world and making a unique series of chips separate from their mobile counterparts. X86 needs to finally die. Anything else should be looked for in the future. It is embarrassing that my shitty low end smartphone out performs all the computers at my local Walmart.










  • I’ve legitimately lost hundreds of dollars of content without even getting refunded; So consider yourself lucky! To get a gift card instead; ANYWAY I now pirate all my things minus idk I guess my video game consumption but even then I had the luxury to pirate shit I bought on steam just to have it again. In the end of the day though you don’t really own anything unless you own it physical and even then its still illegal to use makemkv to dump your blurays and dvds onto your nas and watch them outside of the physical media they were put on. But I guess thats just living in the future for ya!
