AFAIK (I may be wrong), you have to pay google for bundling Google Play Services on your phone. For example, Purism probably does not pay Google anything because it only uses AOSP + it’s own suite of services. However, Android 17 will be a bit concerning. Let’s wait till we get a bit more clarity.

That’s not what I meant. Will the other OEMs have to pay Google for using Android 17 (since it’s not open-source anymore) ?

How will Samsung/OnePlus use Android 17 and 18?

I just checked the games on ProtonDB. Two games are Platinum are one is silver/gold. Essentially very less tinkering.

Steam Deck compatibility is usually very conservative so even though it says incompatible, it will probably work. Nowadays, I just check if the game has some weird DRM or anticheat, otherwise it just works.

This explains why Windows laptops just randomly start spinning their fans. Random energy consumption -> heat production increased -> fan spins

HL3 is going to be launched with Valve’s brain chip.

They don’t even have to make the game. The chip will convince you that you have already played the game and it’s the best game ever.

I had almost no driving experience. And I learnt driving a manual in 10 lessons (30 min each). So depending on how much time you have, you can think about learning. Do mind that it will be frustrating initially.

I remember a social media platform where each user had a thread specific ID “curious rabbit/astonished baboon”, and users can discuss anything without any fear. The moment you created a new thread or participate in a new thread, your ID changed. I think it fizzled out eventually, but the concept was interesting.
