If they covered the screen outside the faceplate, so the screen is protected from scratches, it could be a good way to get more screen when you need it and a small form factor for storage.

Nah, 6800/XT for substantially cheaper

Imo the 750 dollar price point is either a controlled leak to make us pleasantly surprised when they go for a still bad 650-700 or is the price of an ASUS Strix and the real MSRP will be lower.

Because even in the badly priced Ada lineup, 750 for a 4070 makes absolutely no sense when the 4070 TI is 800.

True, this one may not be designed to get rid of the heat buildup from charging and passing power through at the same time. They may need to redesign it to be larger or disable the ports when it's plugged in.

Their robovacs are pretty decent, unfortunately I fucked up and left the cat's water bowl on the ground and it ran into it and sucked up water.

I agree with that, I think the other commenter meant that this isn't some NSA-style deliberate spying on the part of Anker/Eufy. Some have framed it that way, as if Anker/Eufy is going to put a secret camera and wifi transmitter into a power bank.

I really need to get a power bank with fast charging. The current Anker one I have maxes out at 10W I'm pretty sure

Oh, I stand corrected, I knew for a fact that Wii U and Switch used the same ones. Didn't know they also used the same as Xbox/PS

It's mainly because bundles deter scalpers and controllers lose value a lot less than games.

Switch Pro and Wii U use the same stick boxes, and they're different than Xbox/PS.

Meh, don't screw over the retailer because of Sony's bullshit. Better to fix the controller or get a cheap 2 year warranty on it.

PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Series X use the exact same joystick boxes. As do Wii U Gamepad, Wii U Pro, and Switch Pro controllers.

I consider the Quest line as a VR console more than a mobile device.

So only 4 years of support is disappointing.

Hell it's more like buying a new console, and those get updated for ages. Xbox One and PS4 are still getting software updates.

Hell the 360 got one in 2019.

Surfaces have been pretty good overall. Red ring of death was 15 years ago dude, Xbox's since late 2008 have been solid.

Imo that's a huge benefit, but the big draw is using it as a mini e-reader/Kindle.

Also it's much better for outdoor use since there's no backlight needed. You don't need to max brightness and overheat the phone to use it outside.

That's pretty neat. Something else that would be cool would be having the eink panel sit on top of an LCD. Then just turn off the LCD and output to the eink. Afaik, eInk panels are transparent or can be made so when they have no ink on them.

I think some smart watches do this (use eInk for the always on time and OLED otherwise) and it's really neat.

Or maybe a dot matrix top display

Facebook being larger than Disney is kind of wild to me.

It depends on the game. Multiplayer games with battle passes and microtransactions yes. But there's tons of quality single player games out there.

The thing people forget is that arcade games were addicting, and designed to be. They were relatively short high score challenges with a high difficulty. That's a lot more addictive than a modern single player game with chapters/missions and a definitive end.

I disagree, arcades were far more expensive per hour for the vast majority of people ("Just one more quarter and I'll win"), even at prices of games back then. They were also much more addictive, consisting of short simple challenges and playthroughs but with a high difficulty curved. They were 100% engineered to get a player addicted.

With today's prices you can buy an average game on sale for like 30 attempts (25 cents is the 80's is nearly a dollar today).

You could easily bankrupt yourself from it, hell there's even a SpongeBob episode about it.

Also once you had the ability to save, you could turn it off and walk away without losing your current attempt.

Or even display out at any resolution on Pixel.

Not to mention: no lead paint

Part of the problem is that most of what's smaller than 2000+ square feet that's relatively new construction in a decent area with nearby jobs are townhouses with gated communities (at least in my area). Townhouses are great, but they have a steep HOA fee which makes the seemingly affordable mortgage a lot less affordable.
