The Samsung Xcover line even had headphone jacks until recently.

Those exist all the time. Samsung Xcover, Fairphone,…

An international team of physicists has achieved a breakthrough in understanding something that has puzzled scientists for decades: the discrepancy between experimental measurements and theoretical predictions of magnetic properties of the muon, a heavier cousin of the electron.

I’m also curious about be but don’t know how well it works for someone with glasses

If you’re very short sighted, simply taking the lenses out may be an option.

It adds a fancy installer and it’s own kernel and some other things.

So not merely a fancy installer for Arch. Thanks for proving me right.

True but the wrong claim was that Cachy is merely a fancy installer for regular Arch.

CachyOS is just a nice installer to jump into rolling Arch.

https://github.com/CachyOS/kernel-patches says otherwise

Your photo literally spells out Intel Core 2 Duo, not G5. Also 1.5GB RAM.

Don’t waste your time with it. Clean it up and put it up on display. Other than all that dirt, it’s a nice looking piece of computing history.

The worst part was is that they WERE developing it for PC due to the existence of the leaked alpha

All console games are initially developed on Windows PC. Back in GameCube days Nintendo even forgot to delete the Windows version of Pikmin from the release image: https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_(GameCube)/Windows_Executable

You mean when PlayStation dies.

If Disney have a commercial interest in promoting their failing MCU movies through a rerelease on PC of the existing Wolverine game, they might hammer out a deal. Announcements were reversed for lesser things in the past,

they have confirmed that they won’t do that anymore.

Dude, it’s not a legally binding contract. All I wrote boils down to basically “wait and see”.

It’ll stay exclusive for a few years. And then they’ll look at the economics again and possibly reconsider their current stance.

Maybe read more carefully what I wrote. I’m aware what Sony said and I said that things can change a couple of years down the road.

Not coming to PC?

It’s not like these games ever had day 1 PC releases. I think Sony and Disney will have discussions about promoting the upcoming X-Men movie via a PC release but that’s a bunch of years in the future.

Now with merchable, cute animals and a literal companion cube named Frank?

Looks cool. Let’s see if it really stays as exclusive as they recently announced. I prefer keyboard and mouse.

Most non native games run okay under the emulation layers

That’s not the point. The point is commitment of Microsoft to its own platform and that’s lacking ever since the release of the first Surface RT over a decade ago.

Apple doesn’t just not port Apple Chess because it would run okay under emulation. Of course they ported everything. For years Microsoft didn’t even port VS Code despite the fact that even back then it was based on Chromium which already worked fine on ARM platforms.

Surface RT came out in 2012, VS Code in 2015, and the ARM port only in 2020! Madness! https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/visual-studio-code-c-extension-arm-and-arm64-support/

Because legislation related to Stop Killing Games has not yet passed.

Every single game except Microsoft Solitaire Collection of the Windows Store.

Other than that, the only ARM platforms Microsoft Gaming Studios support are Nintendo Switch, iPhone, and Android.

If only the world’s largest game publisher, owner of Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, Minecraft, and Xbox, would port their games to this Microsoft machine. Too bad this will never happen because Microsoft and that publisher, whose name escapes me at the moment, don’t cooperate.

You’d still be relying on Nvidia’s userspace blob for graphics. As you perhaps know, Nvidia drivers are always only one unimplemented feature away from functional parity with Mesa drivers that Radeons and Intel GPUs use.
