Quoting: elmapulThe console is small. There is no space for heat dissipation... everything is saying that its a scam
Since I expect the CPU and GPU to be a single APU, heat should be less of a issue. Also IIRC one of the new AMD Ryzen APUs with Vega graphics runs at like 60 watts or something really low like that.

These are good indicators that it's entirely possible that heat will not be too much of an issue in most moderately aired indoor environments.

Quoting: kneekoo... their communication strategy is terrible. Getting people excited, failing them with a campaign, leaving them in the dark for a long time, then coming up with marketing talk and a "next spring" announcement is definitely bad.
I think this is a indicator that the people running the show are engineers first and marketers second or not at all. In any case -- it actually is a good sign in that sense indicating that it's not a scam and that it has a chance on turning out right vs some BS marketing fad hype-train with 0 product.

Quoting: kneekooWhat would set them apart from the crowd would be a partnership with GOG.
I strongly suggest you tweet them asking for this feature. Since it is in the development phase, this sort of partnership would need to begin development soon and likely have huge benefits for both sides.

Steps we're taking as a site for GDPR compliance

Just kidding, but seriously -- when you give up freedoms and liberties for perceived benefits it never turns out right and everyone looses. I would describe this situation as not "realistic" or not "sustainable".

I am not even sure if the greater majority of individuals who voted on the legislature understand the difference between IMAP or POP3, or can barely distinguish a email and a website, let alone the three browser "the little e", "fox fire" and "the google".

Laws are the least effective way of persuading intelligent people (websites, companies) to behave fairly with their users. Most of the internet that has no base in the EU will carry on unchanged, and this will spur technology innovations to get out of the EU or they will mascaraed around a facade of compliance.

Nowadays a person can establish a corporation in Nevada, USA and have all the paperwork and legal requirements filled. Base the server in the US and likely skip all the nonsense.

Lets pass a bill to end world hunger -- because more laws is obviously the way to get shit done. /s

Retro-inspired racer Horizon Chase Turbo announced with Linux support

I want to be hyped but have been disappointed in the past with someone successfully executing a Crusin the World mechanic style game.

If they pull it off I'll be super down to play 4 - 16 player. local, online, whatever.

I just want to keep my excitement-o-meter in check since so many who try to do this formula just fail spectacularly.

Though, so far from the video it looks to have promise.
