    Update regarding the cases (and some other things)

    So it sounds like the case company is the last big hurdle to the initial production run. Hopefully that will not be as much of a headache as is being anticipated. If one wants to speak towards the integrity of EvilDragon, let's frame things properly in terms of what amount to his competitors...

    Nintendo Switch

    I think people overstate that entire line of logic,as it's largely tangential. This doesn't exist because the Nintendo DS was a powerhouse: As far as the publisher is concerned the question is whether a potential product and/or port will achieve Return on Investment. If they have to...

    Why so many of us have become Marxists: Video

    So you didn't actually watch the speech, admit you're simply making assumptions about what was said, and want to make a point about a distinction without bothering to make the distinction. Do you actually have anything productive to add? Or are you just intending to throw a tantrum?

    Why so many of us have become Marxists: Video

    Well ultimately Karl Marx was a deadbeat who never worked a day in his life, lived by exploiting the charity of others, couldn't manage his personal finances, was covered in boils due to not bathing properly, and both literally and figuratively fucked the closest thing to a working class person...

    Why so many of us have become Marxists: Video

    It's on record that the Feminist strains that hold to the notions of a Patriarchy historically involved Female Socialists taking the Proletariat/Bourgeois dynamic from Marx replacing it with Women/Men respectively and replacing the narrative about overthrow Capitalism/Society/etc to achieve a...

    Is X86/X64 slowly dying?

    The core market for x86-64 was desktops, which allowed it to broaden into servers associated with crosscode compatibility between desktops, workstations, and servers. ARM market penetration into these spaces has been minimal. ARM's core market is Smart Phones and related handsets, which x86-64...

    GPD Pocket

    I don't really see the point of the Pocket over the Win. As a palmtop UMPC the Pocket looks like it will have ergonomic issues. On a ThinkPad the TrackPoint is positioned between the G, H, & B keys which spaces it so your thumb naturally rests on the upper right click button while your...

    Nintendo Switch

    The specific nVidia chip is confirmed to be semi-custom so strictly speaking no. In principle it should be either TSMC 16nm FinFET or Samsung 14nm FinFET, as the 20nm node was widely skipped for good reasons, meaning it should offer more than the 20nm Tegra X1. It is basically confirmed though...

    Nintendo Switch

    For all intents and purposes consoles have pretty consistently been 5 years or more behind Enthusiast Computer technology. So by your own logic who cares about consoles, period? Console Elitism over hardware is inane. Doubly so when you recognize that Nintendo rather consistently has...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    I got my Win in and it seems solid, except the A face button isn't depressing properly. Anyone have any insights or advice? EDIT: I found this teardown: Did some verification to determine there was no issues with the interface between the mat and board, and the issue is resolving itself via...

    ... we're still alive!

    You guys are being ridiculous. If you're quirky enough to want to run a massive OS image, you can mount a 128GB microSD card and bypass the eMMC, while still having 2 SD card slots. The design spec is meant to be used that way to accommodate those of you who want to run a massive OS image. I...

    System Shock remake in development

    Based on this I feel like if someone brought up Thief Gold, you'd be telling us about how you fought a Guard with your Sword, couldn't understand why Garret sucked at swordfighting, and ragequit. A usual playthrough that abuses the existence of health and energy recharge stations, leads to...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    Victor, my interpretation of their response was that they can't move the sticks up to the corners, because of concerns about the leverage that could put on the unit's motherboard. Not that they couldn't tweak the keyboard layout. My interpretation based on that would be that the nubs and other...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    Honestly part of why I was willing to pre-order was that I expected Victor and others to hound GPD, and they appeared to be caving on addressing the more serious issues. As listed the GPD has a number of serious design issues.

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    Well... the handset ecosystem doesn't even vaguely resemble what it was when the Pandora went up for pre-order. The nostalgia factor associated with finally getting a machine that can drive the required emulators, is no longer the Pandora's sole domain. From what I've seen on other forums...

    And suddenly it works.

    If I understand the plan correctly the idea is to have a heatsink on the SoC, and heat pipe that to the SD card readers, which gives it access out. Unless people are anticipating they they're going to be stressing their Pyra for extended periods I expect that will work just fine, much like the...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    Addressing the size concern. The specs GPD is giving out is literally the same width and thickness as a New 3DS XL That makes it thinner, but with a larger footprint than the Pandora. Based on my New 3DS XL, I would tend to agree with ED's assessment the middle keyboard buttons would be...
