It does make me wonder tho, because I know universal power supply exists. But the question is how efficient it is and how much would it save cost by having a single type of optimized manufacturing line compared to 2.

Edit: Hmm, I just realized they could make a variant of the same PCB so I guess the cost saving is moot point

I re-read the post and somehow missed the DRM free part so that is on me. Thanks, yeah I can see why someone would be confused by this. Still I think it has merit because of the possible metadata in addition to the game itself

Oh I know that to run it you only need a single executable. What I'm talking about is more like sometimes there's a registry that is needed somehow by the game (maybe a form of DRM since the installer asks for keys back then without internet). But then again, the last time I tried doing that is when copying data over CD/DVD was still a thing. I have no idea how modern games actually handle the registry now or if they are needed at all because I use steam and if anything is wrong with the game after reinstalling windows, they do some magic in the background to fix it.

I feel like I'm missing something still. From my understanding just copying the file doesn't always work (unless it is an installer). So option 1 would still need more work? That's why my assumption goes to running the game directly off of the NAS

The latency not to mention the speed of NAS would be limited compared to local NVMe. So if you install a game on NAS, it may take a while to load. Of course it also depends on the specific games, but generally it is not a good idea to install heavy programs on a network unless that program is specifically made for network use (think, collabora)

A switch is an input type checkbox isn't it?

They probably need it to have more targeted patches compared to the steam deck that are not going to fly for Arch Linux ARM which aims to support a wide range of hardware.

This is how bluesky does it. So as I mentioned earlier, it is the user that opt to be moderated and they can choose their moderator.

I would like to add something too because I only remember it just now. But I recall someone mentioned that bluesky moderation is unique and I quite like the idea but I've never used bluesky myself so idk how true it is. Basically, an account chooses who to trusts to be a moderator for said account. So that content that is curated by said moderator is the one that the account sees. If the account opt to not be moderated then it can see everything

There aren't enough swear-words in the English language, so now I'll have to call you perkeleen vittupää just to express my disgust and frustration with this crap.

But the publisher who published it should be liable too. Wtf is their job then? Parasiting off of public funded research?
