Every photocopy machine I’ve come across that accept USB sticks do not support exFAT, so what I would do with my USB stick is to split it into two partitions, one FAT32 and the rest exFAT.

Me with raspberry pis. Also complain when digital notice boards don’t use low power systems like the pi and use windows PCs instead when all they do is show picture slideshows.

I didn’t grow up with Dragon ball, frankly not a big fan of the art style either, but I recognize the importance he and his work brought to the manga and anime industry. Rest in peace, legend.

GCam and photospheres! I’m so mad they dropped photospheres on the Pixel 8 line, it’s so good for travel landscapes.

I’m fully aware of other options like the ROG Ally, I’m just talking specifically about the Steam Deck :)

If you run SteamOS I don’t think you can, can you? But other than that, yeah I get the point.

I don’t know if Steam counts as an “open” ecosystem though. You still kinda need to be online to play Steam games, and you can only launch said game with Steam. DRM free option would be GOG games, which doesn’t require online and the GOG launcher to play games afaik.

Second half of the fight is so good! Love the special ED as well.

From my understanding, you don’t “own” a game you bought on Steam, you just own the license to play it. The game file without modifications is protected by DRM, and only works when it’s launched from Steam with a valid license. Notice when using the same account on two different PCs, Steam would force quit the game when you try to launch the same game from the other PC.

In a closed system like Steam, sure, it would be relatively easy to regulate the buying and selling of game licenses since you’re doing it all under Steam’s system. When Steam detects a license transfer or however they want to implement it, they can easily disable access for the seller and enable it for the buyer.

But if the game file is DRM free, then it’s the same as downloading pirated movies, there would be no guarantee that the seller has no access to the game after selling it. No way to regulate it either. Hence, endless copies.

Physical media doesn’t have the luxury of endlessly replicating itself via a simple copy and paste.

I don’t know how this would apply to decompression models in actuality, but in general, deep learning is VRAM intensive only during the training process, that’s because they train multiple batches of data at once for generalization, and all those batches of data need to be stored in ram.
But once the model is trained, the end user is only going to input data one by one, so VRAM usually is not an issue. There are also light weight models that are designed to be run on lower end hardware.

And then factor in that it needs a team to maintain it, to prevent future compatibility issues or vulnerabilities, which is also expensive.

Can’t speak for other people, but I myself have multiple IEMs, and would use it on my phone and PC. The dongle would not be fixed at all times in my example.

Don’t mind the downvotes. Fair trade and eco-friendliness are both important, but sometimes you can’t get both. Gray area exists, and I don’t judge anyone who places one before another. Provided they understand both of course.

Why not no adapters in the first place? They are still an extra thing to carry, not to mention how easy it is to lose or break them.

Wow that sucks.
I’m assuming that you’ve gone through all the troubleshooting steps already, so I won’t bother you with that.

Edit: sending it back to repair is probably hard too, since Sony’s market share is so low compared to Apple/Samsung, I imagine it would be harder to find a place that fixes them.

fingerprint sensor is prone to break

How so? Are you noticing problems with it?

unused plug that can potentially break

They don’t break if you don’t use it… They are probably more resilient than USB-C ports.

It would seem so, but it’s also arguable that by removing the port, you are forcing customers to buy wireless headphones that are much more harmful to the environment, something that goes against their motto of eco-friendliness.

I’m guessing you never lived through the iPod/MP3 player era? You do not need a professional audio device to enjoy music. Most people would happily live by with a crappy $20 earbud.

You have to remember that not that long ago, every phone used to have a headphone jack built in. It wasn’t until Apple created the problem of removing the headphone jack, and created the solution in the Airpods (which generated massive amounts of profit), that other manufacturers followed suit. It never was organic.
