Privacy and data collection-wise MacOS is fine. It's their main selling point. Doesn't even force updates on you. I know it's a low bar, but damn Windows bar is at the floor at this point.

No, this is Patrick!

To be fair, PS2 emulation is still not that great, but I guess it's due to sheer amount of games for that system. Last summer I decided to check the PS2 emulation after 10 year break and 2 out of 3 games I tested didn't work properly. Granted, those are kinda niche games (Transformers (2004) and Free Running), but compatibility still needs work. Hardware requirements are decently low for the games that do work, though.

PS4 is actually easier to emulate than PS3, because former has regular x86 architecture, but latter has a very weird CELL/PowerPC architecture CPU.

I doubt it costs that much. You're looking at it from buying PC components perspective. But they are mass producing identical boards with components that are 4+ years old by now, except the GPU. The cost of production is probably around the same as it was for non-Pro when it was released.

Vita can Run 99% of PS1 games "natively" and has a bunch of PS2 ports (some through PSP). Not PS3 though.

I love that button! Use it to turn my flashlight, play/pause music, toggle screen rotation. One of the reasons I haven't moved on from s10e. Others being reasonable size and 3.5mm jack.

Weird, I've been using my S10e since release, turned off most Assistant stuff and have seen neither the Assistant nor any suggestions to use it. Is that a regional thing?

He's using Windows, Lemmings! Get the wrong slash heathen!

Curved relative to what?

Edit: Nvm, I understood what you mean. But I think it's a pedantic take. They obviously mean it in the context of the surface of the sphere.

I didn't know handball was played by doing handstands.

But seriously, that's the first time i hear that argument. 99% of field sports are played on foot, that's a terrible criteria. Football is obviously called that because you use your feet (primarily) to manipulate the ball. In handball you manipulate the ball using your hands. In basketball, you put the ball in the basket. Name contains words that are directly related to the activity performed. Besides having no ball and not using feet (primarily) American football plays nothing like a football game. It's definitely a misnomer.

I don’t think you’re approaching this extremely serious argument with the necessary gravitas.
