I played it on Steam Deck and it was fine. And the Switch 2 is more powerful than that, although it also has a much higher display resolution.


I tried it and it’s way off for me because it gives too much weight to submitted posts. I don’t have very many submissions so even when I selected recent only, it focused on one guide post for a game I wrote many years ago and made the profile 80% about that. But I guess that’s a problem at some point before the LLM is involved. There are some other similarly non-LLM problems too like making the most used terms section list almost only subreddit names.

When I limited it to recent comments only it did a better job. It even listed “Humanity’s general incompetence” as the fifth of my “top 3” topics.


I had one of those laptops (a PowerBook). Yes, it had two slots that could be used for batteries. But that meant taking out the CD drive. Modern laptops don’t have that anymore so I’m not sure where the room for another battery would come from. The other thing is, it lasted at best 4-5 hours on one battery when doing light work. Its modern counterparts last 10-15 hours on one battery.

The same thing actually happened with phones. But now we literally can’t spend half a minute not looking at them and we also play energy hungry games on them etc. You can still get a phone with replaceable battery though, e.g. Fairphone or Volla.


To be fair, connecting some of the hardware I used in the 80ies is not straight-forward. But not impossible.


Just enough money to buy some physical goods, but not enough to buy so many that storage becomes a problem…



The first Dragon’s Dogma had a ton of small DLC too, so this isn’t exactly new. They even sold rift crystals. I guess a lot of players don’t realize how much DLC it was because the later editions and the ports came with most of it included.


If it’s a Mac then it’s not the CPU that’s doing the encryption for the internal drive. Macs have separate hardware for that, the CPU can’t even get the key.


Macs have encryption in hardware in the dma channel for their built-in drives (Intel Macs with T2 and all ARM Macs), so the overhead is negligible on the internal ssd. Macs actually don’t even have unencrypted internal drives anymore. The filevault toggle only affects whether the volume encryption key stored in the secure enclave is itself encrypted or not.

Older Macs and external drives are a different story of course.


I’d go mad too if someone tried to train me on AI created data all the time…
