If the people carry something and change their minds and moods, have fun holding back that energy with a creaking dam made of paper. Even this Ice nightmare, was voted in democratic and will be one day, when the mood has swung again, pushed back by the people in some colorful revolution.

And you can tell by the way they move, they do not want to hurt each other- a cartel of toe-owners. Otherwise, what happened to gaming with the steam-deck, could have happened with linux to the desktop world years ago. Especially now, where the owner describing his intent, transfers to scripting glue code.

Systems hardened against authoritarianism are a great thing. Even the taliban have mobile coverage in kabul- and thus, every woman forced under the dschador holding on to a phone, has a connection to the world in her hand. Harden humanity against the worst of its sides in economic decline. I dream of a math proof, coming out of some kabul favella.

I think the comment about the "transporttax" on hardware, ergonomic and cooling still holds up though even in a world where things like steam-deck exist.

Even more so, if you may have lightweight ar-headsets one day, with a glorified cellphone + mouse and keyboard.

One of my mentors had the great sentence: "I dont buy laptops- they suck, because they are tailored to transport. I buy desktops- and connect them via internet to flat transportable terminals. And desktops can be upgraded, merged, reused and send to the closet as server at the EOL-"

And he was kind of right. For almost all purposes, even for gaming in a way- a remote desktop is kind of superior. Yes, stadia is dead- but for everything else- this shall do.

The only thing that really helped to covercome these century old - was ironically the Conscription for the Bundeswehr in the cold war, intentionally mixing recruits allover germany and binding groups of friends together. That is now absent for a while- but the Ruhrpott and hamburg have missmanaged germany for quite a while now - and it shows, as subtle cracks of doubt in the superiority surface.

Cumex and Wirecard showed that elite as the lame ducks without a plan they really are.

PS: This explicitly ignores the Neo-prussians of berlin and the insults they throw at everything outside in the "incest-villages" as they call the rest of germany.

Happened to the unreal team, who created the z-buffer reflections in the marble floor- because some other "engine" from around the world "could do that" - which ironically was a rendered non-real time image.

To sum it up nicely the real innovators, are marketing gurus, lying with "pretend proof" forcing the competition to adapt. Thank you for coming to my TED-walk

Your CPU changes with every app, tab and program you open. Changing from one core, to n-core plus AI-GPU and back. This idea, that you have to write it all in stone, always seemed wild to me.

Such moves towards such systems, are usually desperate jumps of those whose empires are under threat of being broken up anyway.
