The dire state of desktop PCs: 'If you want performance, you have to pay for it' AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm all have rather anemic desktop processor roadmaps in place for 2026. Combine that with the horrific conditions for RAM and storage, and things do not look good.

Does it have a TV friendly front end?

Good point. Was looking for a reason to dust off the Switch 1 though.

Since I switched over to Linux on that box I've needed my mouse and keyboard less and less! What distro are you using for your HTPC setup

I've been thinking about where cameras on phones are going. I would say it's been one of the first most important AI features (image processing) and can even have its own dedicated hardware for acceleration

The telephoto is the only phone camera that really matters Because most main cameras have gotten too good.

It's dark days for journalism. Every bit of support counts, both when you're subscribing to websites like The Verge and supporting individual writers.

Me, I just contributed five subscriptions' worth to support the colleagues that Vox laid off.

This Scuf controller uses a dongle so I should look into it. If not I do have an Xbox elite controller I can try.
