When the software isn’t efficient that’s bad coding(not in this case), it has absolutely everything to do with optimization. No one is going to say a game is well-optimized if it drains your battery in 5 minutes. You need to have nuance and admit when your favorite thing doesn’t win every in every metric. Lemmy has a steam deck circlejerk refusing to acknowledge that other handhelds may be better in some ways this is coming from someone would gladly to pick the SD over everything else.

If you had watched the video you would see the Nintendo switch is much more energy efficient… The steam deck doesn’t win in every single way even if we may want it to.

I’m not saying the switch 2 edition is a better deal only that it is nice to see the developers be commissioned to squeeze more power with limited hardware. Modders can do the same however there isn’t that many steam deck units to justify doing the same amount of work.

The potential extra optimization on consoles lessens the blow of paying a bit more.

Valve and Pocketpair are really making it comfortable for Nintendo fans to switch to pc gaming.

Amazing news 🍺

FP4 will be too slow to keep up with even those light apps

That’s true however android is not very well optimized for older hardware. It would be cool to see fairphone become large enough that they can order better deals with cpu manufacturers in bulk to have more powerful chips while largely contributing to an efficient linux mobile distro.

Perhaps at the end of software support, that’s how I do my upgrades.

They do really go well together. It would be cool to see a partnership between them but still remain as separate companies.

It’s great for people running at the end of their phone’s lifespan such as those with pixel 5as and iphone 8s.

Murena is really cool!

Yup, these corporate loonies love screeching about the European Union so much while they do everything they can to appeal to China while selling out their own soul.

The title favours Apple too much.

Wooops the requirements have been heightened insert corporate excuse that people will eat up.
