Look. I'm looking at a Thinkpad. Lenovo owns that line now. I dunno if they can push firmware updates to old, pre-Lenovo models, but they can to current versions.

China aside, Lenovo has lost all semblance of trust after the whole Superfish debacle. Sure it's been more than a decade now but their response to that and the fact that it was even approved internally calls a lot into question. I wouldn't dare go near any of their devices.

I did play months after release and I have a pretty beefy PC so it was fine for me. I did only encounter stutters at one specific area halfway through the game but other than that, it was really smooth for me.

Survivor improve Don the first one by expanding on the stances you had in the first game, a much larger world with a larger variety of enemies and tools you can use in combat. There's a hub area which is kind of cool but I honestly didn't really get the appeal of that. There's also quite a bit of cool moments in the story that were really neat but I won't talk about it because it's a spoiler. I liked it a lot actually and it's a shame all of it was overshadowed by the awful performance on launch.

To add to your point, Jedi Survivor was a huge improvement over Fallen Survivor. I'm not sure how you could look at that game and say that there hasn't been any improvement at all.

I know it's counter to what the thread is saying but I really miss plastic phones. They allowed for wireless charging and don't shatter so easily. Lumias had amazing designs and were built like a brick.

AC3 is kinda infamous for not being great but I think it was thematically the strongest. It just had a ton of pacing issues. If you liked AC4, I suggest playing through that to see Edward's legacy in a different light. Or read the AC3 book which tells the AC3 story from a different perspective from Edward's son, it also documents everything that happened after the game.

It is pretty useful and convenient if your use case suits it but I don't think that fits the majority of people. For me my Fold 6 replaced my Kindle and Surface. It's nice to able to open it up to read ebooks and manga since opened up, it's pretty much the dimensions of a typical book. Also makes things a lot easier when I need to remote into a PC or SSH into stuff and is a really convenient sketch pad for ideas.

It's also really neat that it's not ridiculously wide like every other phone out there nowadays since I have small hands.

My Fold 3 lasted 3 years with no issues until I traded it in so I think they're fairly well built.

In this case with the trifold, I personally think it's way too big but I'm someone who's never seen the point of tablets that were larger than 7 inches anyways. Always preferred a laptop at those sizes.

I agree with you. Even though they're still not the kind of game so would play regularly, Overwatch 1 was extremely annoying to play with all the stuns, freezes and more. Overwatch 2 toned down and removed most of these which made it actually somewhat enjoyable.

Not sure if it's just a Japanese thing but something similar is done here in Singapore. I'm not sure if it is the case for girls but for guys they did ask us to take off our pants.

They're not technically wrong at least, the IDF killing civilians has plenty of precedent.

GamerNexus and Level1Techs are pretty good at that since they target a much more technical audience. For mobile devices I thought Michael Fisher is also great. High production value and has a very different style.

It's somewhat common. On the media encoding/decoding front, Intel has been doing this with stuff like QuickSync, AMD with AMF and Nvidia with NVENC.

There were some benchmarks that showed Ryzen getting very close and in some cases beating with Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme already. They just aren't in laptops.
