You might like your macbook's hardware more than you think. It's a pretty open platform with a standardized instruction set and on open bootloader than can run Linux with pretty good hardware support for such a new platform.

This Steam Deck is much less locked down. It's an x86 PC.

I do not want cloud gaming startups to succeed. I feel like I would own my games even less than I do now, and due to the laws of physics, games would be less responsive than playing locally. I am glad that Stadia has failed.

They explain what the padding was used for and why it was initially introduced in the article. This isn't something that needs to be theorized on.

Though both have the word "nuclear" in the name, nuclear power and nuclear bombs are not the same thing.

In my experience, you have to search for things you like for a few months to give TikTok the data it needs for recommendations.
Re:Ask HN: Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more?

While being locked in to a single app store without jailbreak isn't ideal, I'd rather have a native app on my phone than some lowest-bidder web app that downloads 10MB every time and runs terribly.

Re:YouTuber builds his own x-ray machine after $69k hospital bill (2021)
on Thursday March 24, 2022 @06:50PM (#30796435)
you're right about the hidden costs not mentioned in the article. He stayed at the hospital for 2 days, consulted with doctors, and received medication. this is why the bill is so high.
however, an x-ray should cost around $200. there's no need for an "expert" medical billing administrator here, $200 is double or triple the price of an x-ray in many european countries, and many facilities in america (where the youtuber lives) will charge less than $1000.
