Quoting: EikeGPS by itself shouldn't need a SIM card though?
Well, true, but I'd need the maps, and the bus/train connections when not on a car/bike :)

Quoting: JarmerOMG I want that one with the keyboard. It even has an ETHERNET PORT!!!!!!!!!! yessssssssssss just take my money.

You know what I'd really love? If I could use something like this as my day to day phone:
https://shop.boox.com/products/palma2 [External Link]

basically the middle ground between a full fledged smart phone and a completely dumb phone. On a device like that, the battery would last me like a week because I would only ever use it for calls, texts, playing podcasts in my car, stuff like that.

And then anything else, like emails, or looking up webpages, or using apps, I could use this device! Man............... If my family weren't so tied into the apple ecosystem (shared calendars and photo albums etc) I would totally try it.

edit: DAMNATION ... they're going to launch it as a kickstarter ffs. I swore I'd never again use kickstarter for anything ever ever ever, but ............................ shit.
I've looked into the Palma 2 before, but it doesn't have a SIM Card slot, does it? I would need it to use GPS on the car/bike, otherwise I'd probably try to switch to it soon.

Damn it @Liam, I'm trying to be responsible with money! xD

Intel announced their Arc B-Series GPUs and XeSS 2, the day after CEO Pat Gelsinger retires

If the new AMD are too expensive, too power hungry or don't deliver performance, or even if they get further delayed than Q1 2025, I might give this a go.

I'm not a big fan of Crysis, but Dark Forces remaster and System Shock are very appealing!

Sony reportedly looking to acquire Kadokawa, owner of ELDEN RING dev FromSoftware

Quoting: BumadarKadokawa is so much more then the owner of fromsoft, its more like the Disney of Japan.
I thought that was Ghibli? Will Nintendo buy Ghibli if Sony acquires Kadowaka?

Quoting: ShroobsterEveryone is talking about FromSoftware, but I am mostly worried about Acquire as they also belong to Kadokawa and made the new Mario & Luigi: Brothership game which I really like. I love the Mario & Luigi series and I don't want the series to be dead again because Sony buys them.
Pretty sure the IP belongs to Nintendo for that one.

Quoting: Leahi84This would totally be investigated in the US and possibly blocked.
Sure, just the same way the US blocked Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard.

The Walking Dead, The Expanse and more in the Telltale Collection Humble Bundle

Quoting: damarrinNow that is lovely. I played almost all of them and enjoyed most, with the notable exception of the Expanse. It has its high points, but the main story and especially the main antagonist are just completely nonsensical. Still, it spins an enjoyable yarn if you don't pay too much attention.
Damn, The Expanse was the only one hadn't played, and the only reason I got the bundle. I'll end up playing it anyway, if only to revisit the universe.
