I’m using the apps: both Drive and Photos, at least. Works very well for me. For backup, I do a physical backup daily to an attached external hard drive, and weekly to a remote cloud option

It might not solve all your needs, or your use case specifically, but I’ve got myself a Synology NAS and that has been a solid alternative to Google Photos for me.

Spot on. And as a result I have moved as much as possible away from Google myself. Email, Drive, Photos, Search etc. I’m happy

They’re worth a lot if you’re laundering money

What do you mean? You didnt go out and spend all your money on reproducable jpegs? Whats wrong with you?

Feels like a stretch. Elaborate?

Support is important, but being a PC, you can get that from 3rd party solutions like ChimeraOS

Mostly I’m just enjoying all the competition in this sector - it’s good for consumers

I came across this insane opinion piece the other day: https://www.laptopmag.com/features/mind-eurown-business-for-the-sake-of-the-iphone-apple-needs-to-fight-back

It’s so surreal, it feels satirical

And you’ll probably want both anyway

I live in Korea, so streaming from my home PC to anywhere in the country is pretty much flawless. I absolutely love using my handheld for that

That’s a very good point about release date, although I’m personally not all that interested in Starfield. Who knows once I play it though :) It’s on Game Pass after all

I saw a headline about that. Oh man - so much of this unnerves the hell out of me

Reddit most certainly did not win. Win what, anyway? Many long-time users and moderators left the platform.

Very good point. I can imagine that they are currently just trying to prevent a deluge of fully AI generated content with this policy and will then adjust accordingly.

How come? It’s easily what I spend half my time doing on the handhelds.

Which one are you considering? Many brands and devices to choose from

That Ayaneo Air 1S just launched on Indiegogo and has an OLED screen. It’s a stunning piece of kit but I’m not convinced by the battery life, which is why I’d be more interested in the Geek 1S or a different device altogether.

Hmmm…that’s kind of a good insight. I’ve been eyeing the GPD Win Max 2 but maybe even a regular gaming focused notebook would be a nice new toy

Windows generally with custom launchers. They’re PCs, so you can kinda do what you want with them.
