ZOTAC Zone is yet another AMD gaming handheld

The option to disable the Recall function is available in the Settings. And by rumors it's been available to select during the initial setup screen, at least in Europe.
Given microsoft's history with such things, one would need to be be truly naive to trust them to honour such a setting, both in spirit and its definition.

Even then, expect microsoft updates to mess with the setting.
people have been getting access to recall... and it's on by default.

Quoting: nondetectIt appears that ZOTAC is not aligning with the current market direction. I believe other handheld making companies will soon begin introducing updated models of their portable computers equipped with the latest Copilot+PC compatible processors, whereas ZOTAC was intending to launch their product with the previous generation 8040 CPU.

NVIDIA switching to open kernel modules by default in future driver update for Turing+

Quoting: Viesta2015Best case scenario would be a valve home console... along with an updated VR Set and have them both separate... it'd allow others to use any piece of VR equipment they wish and use it as a general PC if people wanted. :)
(especially with steam link on quest 3)
Didn't they already try and fail with console hardware by releasing the Steam Link?
That was without proton and hoping people would just make native linux ports... and they had multiple versions with different hardware which was bound to be a bust. If they just make VR worthy hardware that doesn't vary too much it'd probably be the best thing to happen to the PC-VR industry and an awesome thing to happen with PC's in general

Quoting: lejimsterI thought I had seen a lot of news related to Nvidia and open source projects lately. I wonder... Maybe they are involved in a piece of hardware Valve are making? We know Valve want the ability to fix driver issues as they arise which is only possible if the drivers are open source.
either a valve home console, or VR Headset or just steamOS general relase...

i doubt steamdeck 2 will go nvidia

Quoting: Pyrate
Quoting: Linux_RocksYou're playing a "live service" game. You've got no room to bitch cause of that fact alone.
Even if your language is harsh, I 100% agree with this, wherever the game comes from, if you play a live service game and they decide to fuck you in the ass on a whim, you shouldn't really be surprised, I'd even go and say you deserve it, it's almost written in the rules at this point with how often this happens.

I do like that the consooomers finally came together for something to stand up for, even if we both think it's comically exaggerated.
that is a very depressing way to live... always expecting to get screwed over at all times... it shouldn't have to be that way.
