maybe some games you don’t want to spend time tweaking the launch options, the graphics, the sliders, the mods etc and you just want to play the game as the devs intended. Switch is good for that

Is it? 2D indie stuff generally don't have meaningful graphics options and defaults to the same thing either way. 3D stuff with settings is cut way down from the developer's vision to run on the switch at all.

I don't use my switch since getting the steam deck. I played a little of tears of the kingdom but the fact that it wasn't on the deck (without effort to emulate and move saves) is most of the reason I stopped playing.

The switch created the handheld real console revolution, but it also kind of sucks to use. Joycons are awful, the ergonomics of joycons are awful, and while you can get third party replacement options for the joycons, they all still have really awful sticks that make playing anything that uses them painful.

It will run on a cord. You can just supplement with your own bigger battery and USB-C.

I've tried everything, pretty much.

Lists are the main reason everything else is broken. I have a list of 100-something nonfiction and a second list of 50-something books I consider high quality books on intelligence/what makes us tick/what we'll need for AI that I'm not willing to give up and I'm not willing to manually type one at a time to import somewhere else. I also have 500-something mysteries just to split those out from everything else, but that one's sloppier and less maintained and I don't care about it.

Eventually, I probably am going to manually do a lot of cleanup, but I'd rather do it when I'm ready to self host so I can completely structure the data the way I want. None of them really let you treat series as first class citizens either, which is how I'd prefer to organize my fiction. I'd prefer to display my fiction or sub-categories as "Karen Rose's Romantic Suspense", "Lee Child's Jack Reacher", "Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive", "CJ Archer's Glass and Steele" etc, and do a couple paragraphs on the style of each. I don't want to do that for all 10-30 books in each series.

I could see it. I know they all bend to China, but they also know that fighting China won't change anything. If Google pulls Chrome and Apple pulls Safari, French citizens do actually have a path to be heard and get shit changed.

Equally important to them, plopping their dicks on the table against the French government and having it work might scare them out of curtailing their monopolies next time.

Plus it takes enough more it's not really saving that much.

If you give me ketchup that's not Heinz or mayo that's not Hellmann's I can't eat it. (OK, there are some more expensive premium options I'm also good with for mayo, or making my own, but I think anything else in that tier or below is extremely gross).

Everything. Almost.

I'll go for $20 sunglasses because I lose them constantly and Costco cheap for a lot of stuff because they have enough customer service (that I won't exercise) to think it's not bottom of the barrel, but there's just a bunch of stuff where the money you save by buying the cheap version disappears when you have to replace it.

Specifically in terms of spending more than most would, my ereader is up there. It was like $700 for the discounted "refurb/open box/whatever" version, but it's 13.3" with great sharpness and Android so I can get content from a broader variety of services without jumping through hoops. It wouldn't be worth it for most people, but I've read enough books through it in the time that I owned it that I don't regret it at all (and wish I spent more for the newer version that has a light).

Jesus Fuck Ubuntu

I know what they are. They're a "solution" to a problem that doesn't exist and very probably never will exist.

They have never once been used for anything even neutral. Every single case has been outright malicious.

CPUs can definitely do more variety.

My point was just that the whole purpose of them is that they do a better job at the embarrassingly parallel operations they're made for. Obviously architectures evolve over time, and the exact details change, but if you were attempting to stifle growth, something that adds significant capability to user's machines (and also without actually compromising the capability of the actual CPU, for the most part) doesn't seem like it would help you.

. 6. GPUs were created because they do more math than a CPU can, if the workload fits into their constraints. They're basically just a bunch of smaller cores (with less instructions) bunched into groups that are managed by one control unit for several cores to allow you to do more shit in less space with less power.
