That is canon for ya, should have used INSERT_OTHER_MANUFACTURER_HERE$ /s

But if you look how much manuals get ignored by the customer, it doesn’t make sense to put work into them.

It is much better to let a YouTuber do it, by lending them the product and throw small amount of money against them.

Manuals are just there for legal or certifications requirements these days.

Yeah, forget that. Switching the system over to Linux access kills most of its features and is hidden be hind scary screens, including loss of warranty. It is only your typically greenwashing like, “ we are open source” marketing badge. The community is also almost dead, probably because of that.

Keyboard is also unusable, it doesn’t even have enough characters for markdown.

What changes for me as iPad user?

Does the account required mean I can’t use it offline anymore?

So can I finally import krita files? Especially those with vector layers?

7, basically was cut of from the last family member last year I had hopes in for over a decade after helping her to get back up, that cost me dearly in my career and private social life.

I pulled myself back up these year, don't have any holes in my CV and still have a job that pays enough so that I can put stuff aside. Which I'm taking as a win.

I do have some friends left that I can trust, which I take as a win.

Currently don't have a partner, but at least I not only recovered from the last break up, but I also got something slowly brewing that could become something or atleast another good friend. Taking that as a win.

Middle aged and most health problems are manageable or in progress about getting better. Taking this as a neutral.

Could have been in a much better space in life if specific people wouldn't have maliciously against me and I wouldn't have taken the risk on the one member I mentioned already. But I also could easily be, and see others, even some of my friends, in worse places.

So I think, I did quite alright.

If you mean emulation on handhelds:

Multiple vendors with multiple new models per year, different quality and price levels. Some come with Linux based systems others with android or even Windows. So you can choose between a selection of models for roughly 50-100USD, 150-300 or from a section that is even more expensive than a steamdeck but also provide more on some or all fronts for they bigger price tag.

There are some devices that are basically the same concept, just in new generation, but there are also many that are more unique. The space seems to require it, button layouts or screen ratio / resolution play a mayor role how well the emulation experience is, but there are so many different consoles over the years that they can't just do one thing fits all, especially if they want to keep it a handheld or sometimes pocketable. There was just a windows device released with clamshell dual screen design like the DS, but thicker to run basically everything on a modern AMD Windows setup.

The portal wasn't an unknown device in that bubble, bc some people use there emulation handhelds for streaming, as in in-home streaming or like the nvidia shield, cloud gaming streaming, often Xbox game pass these days.

There is a whole section of controllers that make a smartphone a portal/switch/steamdeck like device, by holding it in the middle and connect via usb c, lightning or Bluetooth. There is a good set of emulators for phone, snapdragon is quite good in emulating switch for example, but there is a also next to streaming, android native games that support controllers or apps that produce virtual touch inputs to map the controller.

There is also a scene that makes handhelds like the DSi, psp, vita, etc emulators who work quite well if you want to put in the effort to set it up.

I recommend retro game corps on yt for a start, he doesn't do quick bait or mind numbing flash cuts.

Got a regular Note10, my battery is basically dying slowly. Yes, I used battery helper tools to regularly only charge to 80%...
