due to the nature of arch and its rolling releases, it tends to get bleeding edge updates/features rather than having to wait for a major update to iron itself out then get rolled out. If you’re a gamer for example, if Valve fixes a bug in the gpu driver, then Arch would probably get it asap (especially given that Steam OS is arch based)

Many modern devices have algoeithms to limit charge as well as regulate charge speeds as well.
Best has a lot of sub requirements, and cheap goes against that notion. Need to be specific about use cases. No one has the best everything because there are always cuts on design.
If you want the most generic answer, an arbitrary lenovo thinkpad
Youd be suprised what employees at big corpo/schools throw away.
As a person working e-waste, a working 6tb drive wouldnt make it out loose. The drive would have to be either dead and recycled, wiped and sold, or destroyed on customers request.
Its less about copying the work, its more like looking at patterns that appear in a work.
To bring a very rudimentary example, if I wanted a word and the first letter was Q, what would the second letter be.
Of course, statistically, the next letter is u, and its not common for words starting with Q to have a different letter after that. ML/AI is like taking these small situations, but having a ridiculous amount of parameters to come up with something based on several internal models. These paramters of course generally have some context.
Its like if you were told to read a book thoroughly, and then after was told to reproduce the same book. You probably cannot make it 1:1, but could probably get the general gist of a story. The difference between you and the machine is the machine read a lot of books, and contextually knows patterns so that it can generate something similar faster and more accurate, but not exactly the original one for one thing.
of course not, its always gacha that profits, as thats the current situation its that AAA titles moving onto it open up a new market. it just terrible timing that opening up the new market coincided with the hottest iphone in awhile
buying a case actually exacerbates the scratching issue, as any small piece that gets into the case scratches it over time, hence experiences with Essential PH-1s. its just a symptom of titanium.
as a material, titanium is actually softer than some aluminum based alloys, so its softness allows for some dust, which have a higher hardness than it, to scratch it up. a common material that would scratch it up would be a grain of sand, and if caught inside the case, would do damage overtime.
I do miss the weight and ceramic as well. Ive replaced the screen (multiple times, my fault) towards the end of its life and batteries, but tmobile cutting off 3g was time for me to move on from it (to a Zenfone 9)
The pixel to me isnt there yet to where i want it let me want it(outside of my preference for smaller phones) with the SOC(which is tied to battery life). Maybe until a generation after google launches its fully custom SOC where id consider getting the A varient of the phone only because its the smallest model.
Its why imo if youre going to get a 15 pro or better, get the titanium color. Its a “new” color with a titanium border with the least color problems.
It depends on how youre using it and what youre actively doing from what ive seen. Its common for it to get hot for those doing the initial, just bought phone and transfering data due to the amount of data transfered between devices.
The other way people see it is when gaming, one reviewer I believe had the phone throttle while playing genshin impact, and heavier gaming is becoming a bigger marketing tool for Apple recently, as its actively advertising Resident Evil on its phone, and theres a few more devs coming along too. While phone gaming is a minority in cellphone use cases, its actually considered the largest paying base when considering the entire gaming industry.
The source on the physical and edge aspects are jerryrigseverything tests
Physically, i think the other ones were that the phone is more fragile (can be broken with bending with only hands), and the phones with darker colored titanium edges gets its paint scratched off easily.
Titanium is very sensitive to scratches, just telling people as anybody who used an Essential PH-1 could tell you (I didd for 4 years)
Modern ones will. The gpu requirement is basically says any gpu from 2011 and newer (2011 was gcn 1.0 and kepler) with Vulkan support.
For windows, vulkan is supported by skylake(6th gen) and newer, for linux, vulkan is supported all the way back to Ivy Bridge, but the experience playing CSGO would probably be terrible.
Thr 7840U is core config wise, the same as the Asus ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme, just different clocks/binning. (Handhelds are drsigned for 10w handheld use, and 15-30w docked)
The 7840u is designed for 15-30w, but is meant for the 30w usecase. Other chinese pc handhelds like the Ayaneo Air 1s or the GPD Win 4 Pro already use the 7840u im their designs.

Its not that its bad, but usually its extra steps.
Most games. In particular ones running directx, use xinput, microsofts input library, which basically maps out to a generic 360 controller.
Controllers that arent designed explicitly for xinput use (many 3rd party controllers do, in particular one designed with pc in mind, but not all) like nintendo and sony controllers (for obvious reasons) use the legacy dinput communication, which not all games support.
Generally you can get around this via steam big picture mode, which uses steams controller API to map Dinput to Xinput automatically, else you have yo use 3rd party software for full compatibility (e.g ds4windows, dll mods) if the game or application does not natively support dinput.
The best situation would be of course, just plug and play, and open up all features of a controller to thr computer, bonus points if it changes the on screen input commands to the controller youre using (some pc games already do that natively)
I have a decently high end pc(12700k/4070) and i use it standalone more than plugged in myself
I havent used any myself but from what im aware of,
ChimeraOS and HoloISO would be the cloest to a console like experience
Nobara and Garuda is a step away from that and focuses more on being a gaming pc rather than a full console experience.
