You seem to be mistaking my description of reality for condoning it. I was just explaining why those companies focus on those markets, I wasn’t saying anything about my personal opinion of that.
Profit-motive beats everything to these people.
You can probably have much larger profit margins on that $500+ phone, and if it breaks quickly (and if consumers are OK with that trend which they seem to be), then you get even more money.
That said, it hasn’t been my personal experience that smart phones break easily. At least not the few I’ve had that have all lasted me 5+ years each. I’ve been using my Pixel 6 with no case, and I swear this thing tries to commit suicide constantly. If a surface isn’t completely flat that thing will slowly slide until it falls and hits the floor. I’ve had it been literally 10 minutes after setting my phone down, the thing will seemingly fly off the desk out of nowhere. It’s wild.
Anyway, this thing is built like a tank. Still works great.
I haven’t looked into those specifically, but I’m pretty sure there are alternatives that do the exact same things for FF
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Proton? Shit is basically magic as far as I’m concerned.
GE-Proton too, that dude does good work.
It runs well on Steam Deck? Damn, was going to wait a month or so for PS5 but if it runs well on Deck… How many fps we talking?
How does it run on Steam Deck? I was probably going to wait for PS5, but don’t know how the controls will be.
Streaming is always an option. You don’t need to download every video you want to watch.
Just get rid of Windows completely so the crutch isn’t there. Use a Windows VM if you absolutely need to.
