You forgot the MacOS Sequoia requires a T2 chip, which is Apple’s version of the TPM 2.0. So claiming it as a negative for Windows but not for MacOS feels very bias.

As for the CPU, MacOS needs a at minimum a 4 core i3 (lowest supported CPU) that’s running at 3.6 GHZ. This is a much higher minimum for Windows 11.

The storage requirements aren’t being compared the same. The MacOS storage listing is how much MacOS storage space is taken and not how large a drive should be to store and run. Windows 11 takes around 27-30 GB of space when installed, which is less than MacOS.

In short, MacOS does take up more resources to run. The difference is Apple is strict in cutting off which systems can run it to prevent the end user from noticing the bloat whereas Windows will let you install it on a much slower base system.

(Yes, you can override the MacOS requirements with open core legacy patcher, but you can also override spec requirements such as the TPM 2.0 requirements of Windows with unofficial patches. The difference is, you’ll notice MacOS starts to get real sluggish on older MacOS because they don’t have that extra power the newer versions need. I noticed it myself when I used OCLP to forcefully upgrade MacOS on unsupported hardware).

The Steam Deck, like most mobile devices, don’t have issues with voltage as most don’t deal with it. It’s their charging cables that do that, which are external.

In the Steam Decks case, you just need a plug adapter as the stock USB plug that comes with it is rated for 110-240 volts. Your voltage is 230 volts, so no problems.

I’ve already had to do this, so already know it works. I’ve used my Canadian Steam Deck (110 volts) in Ireland (230 volts), and well as in Korea (220 volts). All I needed was a plug adapter, not a voltage adapter.

If you are still worried though, the Steam Deck is powered completely through USB C so you could just get a different USB C adapter to charge it. The stock plug charges at a rate of 40 watts, but can go slower though charging speed will show.

Oh, of course. When you get trapped in your confidently wrong BS, you move the goal post.

The whole thread is about supposedly not being able to install beyond the Google Play Store, its literallyin the posts title. Trying to rewrite what “sideloading” is now isn’t helping you’re argument.

You literally pointed out that sideloading will still be available, which is what this is about. It’s not about if developers need to be registered, that’s its own issue with is separate own issue. Blocking sideloading means no more 3rd party stores, which will still be very much allowed even in these ruling.

And when did I say anything about you being any type of user, regular or otherwise? And what does that have to do with anything about this false claim that sideloading will be banned?

Did you reply to the wrong comment? Or are you taking confidently wrong to a whole new level?

It never fails to amuse me how confidently wrong some people can be when they don’t even read what they link to.

Because, you know, if you did read that link, you’d know how wrong you were.

Source for this ban claim?

I know there is a ban on not being able to install unsigned apps, but it won’t limit apps to only Google Play apps.

Please, while the whole situation is BS, adding complete misinformation to the mix isn’t going to help.

If you like VN style games, I’d recommend “Hotel Dusk: Room 215” and “Last Window: The Secret of Cape West”. (Same genre as Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright). Both are on the DS, and each takes advantage of the hardware as well.

I have a N3DS. As for when I last tried, would have been 8 to 12 months ago max.

And the Vita doesn’t has multiple days of all day gaming, it has about the same amount of play time as the 3DS, but it can be left in sleep mode for much longer. After 2-3 days of being in sleep mode (normal, not an emulator), the 3DS battery is drained and i need to recharge it. The Vita can sit for a week or 2 and barely have lost any power.

What PSX games did you try? I tried Silent Hill and it was more of a sideshow than a game.

As for the power drain, I don’t always have time to charge every night and that’s when I see the problems. (Traveling and such)

A used PS Vita would be better I feel. Similar size, and just as hackable (Emu4Vita). Except a Vita has:

• better screen
• Bluetooth audio (more and more headphones are Bluetooth)
• A functional sleep mode (the 3ds doesn’t go into sleep mode unless it’s a 3DS/DS game. So any emulator game just turns off the screen but still runs and drains the battery)
• A possibly standard connector (the 2000 series uses micro-USB)

The only advantage a 3DS has is that it has 3DS and DS games, but the Vita has PS Vita games, PSP games, and PSX games to its advantage.

Me explaining what “Insert Disk 2 of 5” means.

Just because it’s not something you’d use anymore doesn’t mean it isn’t valid.

WEP is still a valid form of wireless encryption, but no one would use it anymore (and so would be obsolete). It’s still a part of the 802.11 standard.

I remember those days.

That was one hell of a leap in (il)logical thinking…
