I use MacOS, Youtube Premium and I can tell a difference in general usability since switching from Chrome to Firefox. Skipping 10 seconds using left and right keys is much slower in Firefox vs Chrome.

I agree. I have some floor plans of my apartment and I'd love to try but for $50AUD for both floors, I don't know what I'm going to get - or if it's editable after the fact ie adding furniture - or if I'm stuck with what I get on the first go.

Fairly confusing UI - I thought I had lost my room plan I had made until I saw it in the "Submit for UI" queue. I see some broken images too.

In some cases. In other cases they run worse on Steam Deck, notably Tears of the Kingdom.

At this point, there's a TotK optimizer you can find that even has a preset specifically for the Steam Deck.

That's a pretty big asterisk. BotW and TotK account for about 90% of my Switch game time.

Yeah, the only hurdle I found was that it didn't accept international Visa cards, and only worked with my Mastercard.

Still incredible that I can now have a Suica ready to go before I even arrive in Tokyo, all using the Wallet app

Both White Lotus and Succession are available in 4K, FYI.

[crazygringo → faaarmer]

No they're not.

If you Google either of them with "4K" at the end, all you get are questions about why HBO hasn't made them available in 4K.

There's no 4K streaming and no 4K Blu-Rays.

Unless you have a link that says otherwise?

Only in the US. In Australia, you need a Kobo for that.

That's because they cheap out and only wire up one side (apparently). I have a few like that too.

There’s also single side failure modes of some type. I have devices that work on both sides for months.. until they don’t.
