    I finally tried Windows 11 on ARM after four years of unfairly dismissing Qualcomm's misunderstood platform (and I'm obsessed)

    Yeah, the Surface Laptop Go 2 in my house was provided for work, and is NOT for personal use so I never really put it through its paces. The Pro X, though, has been really cool so far. I hope the OLED Surface Pro 10 w/ ARM isn't unreasonably expensive because.. I want it. Not holding my breath...

    PSA: It doesn't matter if your computer runs on ARM, all of your apps will work on Windows 11

    That's basically what I was expecting but so far the native Arm library has covered almost everything except Skype, Clipchamp, and, funnily enough, the Surface Diagnostic Tools app!

    Aha! Nice catch, I'd been staring at my Pro X too long. Fixing.

    PSA: It doesn't matter if your computer runs on ARM, all of your apps will work on Windows 11

    I wouldn't expect to game on a Surface Pro to be honest, and I'm finding I use it every evening since picking one up second hand. The battery life alone is hilariously long, so if Qualcomm delivers better performance than an M3 chip on top of that, I'm all in. It's not pretending to be a gaming...

    I still use a Windows XP app from 2003 to clean up my hard drive and I'll never stop

    If the flatpak works on SteamOS I could try it out

    Oh, interesting; I haven't had time to look into the details yet, but I didn't know about the licenses!

    Dragon's Dogma 2 mod adds 99 cheap AF appearance change items, completely undercutting Capcom's microtransactions less than 24 hours after launch

    You think changing character appearance should be tied to game difficulty?

    I never expected Turtle Beach to build my new favorite flight stick but the VelocityOne Flightdeck is perfect

    I can see why you might think that, but Turtle Beach seems to take this category seriously. Thrustmaster is definitely a tried and tested brand, Logitech too, but there's room for another.

    7 must-play Steam games for $10 or less

    Sounds like a solution tbh

    The STALKER trilogy, my favorite open world shooter games, just shadow dropped on Xbox

    Instant buy. No question.

    Electronic Arts lays off 670 workers, cancels upcoming Star Wars shooter from Respawn Entertainment

    This is a wild take. Everyone deserves to be paid a fair wage for their job and perform at exactly the level they're expected to work. Unions literally advocate for fair working conditions, so I couldn't disagree more. 'I fire you or we all go bankrupt' is bizarre.

    Former AMD boss brands NVIDIA "the GPU cartel": Rumors of delayed shipments and supply control listed as strongarm tactics

    Big time. Part of the whole reason I'm excited to see Qualcomm go up against Intel Core Ultra, and AMD has impressed with its 8000 Series APUs. Can't let NVIDIA own the whole category.

    This lap desk with 6 USB ports made our couch my favorite PC gaming spot with a keyboard and mouse

    That sounds rad. We have a two-seater sofa so it's not realistic to sit in the middle, but I think I could make it work with some adjustments 🤔

    So it's not just me who has a generally awful time when engaging with Reddit? Phew
