No. I didn't know they had one

Mute the mic, it drains battery even if you're not actively using any voice chat.

Capitalism works a little more tolerably for the middle class when consumers advocate strongly for themselves. Choosing not to consume when prices are too high is how prices get lowered. Want us to suck it up and pay? Take it to /r/HailCorporate.

I’m guessing you can go up to 8k and maybe downscaling might be an option. Plenty of stuff now in 4K.

I think it is actually whomever in this case. “Whom” is the objective case and in this sentence it serves as the object of the preposition “to.”

I didn't know this was an issue until just now; I thought only the Switch had the problem.

I don't recall the PS2 or GameCube having drift issues, I wonder why these consoles do.

Lol all in one? Nobody calls it that. It's the cellular modem

And then cancel it after 2 years

Our budget allows for a ~€300,- GPU that we hope will last 5 years. I don't like spending half the budget on a GPU, gamer or not the price ratio just always seemed off to me. CPU, Mobo, RAM and storage is also very important and the costs add up quickly.

> The camera budget wouldn't have been moved to the production budget.

It could have. For sure.

> The production budget is determined independently, based on the ROI of said budget.

No, the production budget is determined by the production needs.

> Tossing more money at the production budget would have done practically very little over the course of the last two years when the issue chip supplies

That's not true. Intel, AMD, Razer, Seinnheiser, Xbox, Steelseries, Playstation, Sony, etc. are ALL constantly improving their production. And most of those have chip production shortage. Just because steps #298 of the production is slowed down, doesn't mean the hundreds of other steps can't be optimized.

My statements implies that there's still some possible improvement when it comes to the entire production. Which is true. No company right now has a perfect production.

Just because Raspberry pi doesn't manufacture the board, doesn't mean they can't possibly improves the production. Plenty of tech companies don't manufacture their own stuff, as it's made in some factory in China, yet they still work and improve their production, from signing better deals, from improving the R&D so that the manufacturing process is more streamlined, from switching to easier to work materials, finding better carriers with better routes, etc.

Once again, you're making a point that the raspberry pi production line is near perfect. That's just being ignorant.

> The only 'R&D' they could do is change board design to account for additional chips

See how ignorant you're being? How is that the only R&D possible? You're implying Raspberri pis are near-perfect.

Like, here's your take:

• Signing better manufacturing deals from different factories = Nope raspberry pi fondation has near-perfect manufacturers right now.
• R&D to ease the manufacturing of Raspberries, from the board specs to materials = Nope raspberry pis manufacturing and design are near-perfect right now.
• Finding a better carrier with more direct routes/less downtime = Nope raspberry pi fondation has near-perfect carriers right now.
• Cut deals with manufacturers to develop/add more customs raspberry pi automated assembly machines = Nope raspberry pi fondation has near-perfect amount of automated assembly machines right now.

EVERY TECH COMPANIES are investing to improve their production lines because there's optimization to be done, but you think raspberry pi fundation is immune to that, because there's little to do?

BILLIONS DOLLARS COMPANIES constantly invest to improve their production lines, to cut down manufacturing times, but Raspberry pi fundation is near-perfect and wouldn't benefits from investing more into their production lines? Such an ignorant take.

I've always heard that the Bluetooth stack is annoying period. Add in whatever bullshittery Apple decides to bring the the game and here you are.

150 inches is way too small for 8K to make a difference from any reasonable viewing distance. It’s basically the equivalent of 70mm film.

TV's catch glare as well. My projector works fine in the day.

TO BE FAAAIIRR

Oh you gotta finish it, it’s.. heart wrenching

Have you tried one of the play station remotes? I always wanted to get on but never bit the bullet

What?

Not worth it considering the controllers go on sale quite often.

So we can finally have daytime drive-in movies? Nice!

I use black lights in my room to cut down on the sunlight. Usually just a single 1000W black light is good enough for a typical summer day’s direct sun. Though there are sometimes a few light patches where the black light doesn’t quite reach.

I hate to be that guy, but I clearly said I use rechargeable AAs....

What about the fact that now some PS5 will start to rot if they are left in their stand for too long?

Of course it will work in the sunlight. Projectors can make all different colours. What do you think Black lights are for? /s

The camera budget wouldn't have been moved to the production budget. The production budget is determined independently, based on the ROI of said budget. Tossing more money at the production budget would have done practically very little over the course of the last two years when the issue chip supplies, pretty much completely out of their control. You saying 'just do toss it into R&D for board production' screams that you don't know anything realistic about the industry. The board is simple. Sony makes the boards. The chips are simple. Broadcom and more make those. Do you understand that Raspberry Pi doesn't make the boards or the chips? The only 'R&D' they could do is change board design to account for additional chips and again, that goes against the core principles of the Raspberry Pi foundation. It would take time. And after all that work, as soon as chip supplies start picking up again, you have an ugly duckling product that was a colossal waste of time and money.

Your statements imply that the Raspberry Pi foundation doesn't know what they're doing in balancing the budget of new tech and production. That they don't know what is a reasonable amount of budgeting. That you know better than not only the CEO of the Pi Foundation, with his PhD from Cambridge, but the entire management team at the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Some of them are sleeper agents?
