Instead of 1TB, the updated digital version of the base PS5 now comes with an 825GB SSD

So Sony saved themselves like…$10?

It won’t directly affect them because they will not be “Google Certified” devices.

Welcome to the Threadiverse

It’s not negligible

I don’t like GitHub either but the large userbase ensures increased attention, which means more adoption, which means more contributors. That’s why devs are always begging for “stars”.

Good thing that’s not the discussion we were having then.

I have no interest in “gotcha moments”. Just having a discussion about the virtues of streaming music platforms vs. buying.

If you don’t pay for it then you are pirating, which is a whole other discussion.

What evidence is that, jerkface? What does any of this have to do with my ego?

LOL your suggestion is that they said they’re subscribed to various producers but they don’t listen to them? Now that’s pedantic.

I have to pay someone 🤷 at least legally, anyway

Lots of assumptions here.

you got every assumption wrong.

Zero assumptions here, you said you were, and I quote, “not seeking out new stuff”, I didn’t assume that.

I’m subscribed to various music producers on YouTube

So you DO enjoy streaming music…

if I encounter a new track I like in the wild, I’ll buy it.

How do you “encounter” new tracks?

But I’m not seeking out new stuff because…everything feels homogenized today.

If you’re not actively seeking out new music, it will feel that way, because you’re just listening to whatever is on the radio or on TV or whatever. This is the beauty of streaming platforms. In the past you were only ever exposed to whatever music the record companies decided you should hear. And it was almost exclusively homogenous “pop” music, to some degree. With streaming music you can discover new music every day based on your personal preferences.

I listen to probably at least a dozen new songs every day. If I bought them that would cost me $18/day. Or $540/mo. Not to mention the absolute fortune required to store them all locally.

Why would I? Pay $1.49 to listen to 1 song over and over or pay $12 to listen to basically the entirety of human creation any time I want? Not to mention custom playlists and whatnot.

Because no one cares.

“Better” is subjective, and in this case I would disagree.

The XBOX Ally has all of those too.

Takes 10 minutes to install

Highly recommend Steam Deck.

• Cheaper/better value than anything else on the market
• excellent customer support
• trackpads for games that need them
• OLED available
• configurable rear buttons
• no other handheld competes on power efficiency or battery life
• All repair components readily available.

Runner up would be Legion Go. If you want the SteamOS experience you can easily install it on any other handheld (although I would recommend Bazzite or similar instead). Other handhelds will deliver better performance at the expense of battery life.

This is correct.
