Windows uses a lot of power just existing, so you can't get any of the windows handhelds down to a low power consumption. I remember when the Rig Ally first came out, the verge tested it using 5-8w of power on the steam deck, and using 16-22w of power on the Ally. Some of that is the hardware (the Deck has a really power efficient chip for low power games), but a lot of it is windows.

Yeah you're right, I had mostly been looking at the difference between the steam deck and legion Go S on that chart and barely even noticed the difference between windows on the legion Go S there.
My understanding is it's mostly just the advantage of not having windows running hogging resources, so it should be a bigger gain for CPU bound games.
**Edit ** There can be performance gains from using vulkan over DirectX too, so there probably are GPU gains as well. It will depend on the game though
Google maps auto suggests that restaurant name if you start searching for it, but then fails to actually pull up the location. Checking the actual maps location shows nothing there.
It's pretty wild that this game is still in development, I remember reading about it back in 2012/13 ish.
Apparently the video was presented after the verdict was already issued. This video had no impact on the actual outcome of the trial, and was more of just a closing statement.
So the judge didn't approve this a testimony, but just found it emotionally touching.
Personally I would have preferred them to say it more explicitly, but I'm assuming their idea is people provide the knowledge for wikipedia, and AI should help smooth out the other necessary parts (moderation/editing/translation/etc) so that contributors can focus more on the knowledge part.
Yes, that's right.
What I was mostly referring to was
posts bumped threads to the top
The controversial threads get more posts, so usually they get bumped to the top over and over until the hit the post cap. Being on top also attracts more posts, but seemingly the easiest way to get a newly created thread to succeed and attract posts is by posting something controversial first.
For example if I wanted to talk about Morrowind, and I think that overall most users there like Morrowind, I'd be more likely to have a successful thread/discussion by making a first post that was something like "I can't believe I fell for the meme that this was actually a good game". I'll get more intial responses of people disagreeing with me, and that will help the thread get started. After that the discussion can move on to other things about the game.
There used to be a dozen sites like 4chan. I don't know if any of them are still around, but I'm willing to bet that if 4chan doesn't come back there will be a new website that takes its place.
4chan is a pretty unique experience. Most of the internet is forming into echo chambers, where having a different opinion than the "correct" opinion for that community will get you downvoted or banned. My understanding with 4chan is that post popularity is determined by replies, and frequently controversial opinions/etc get the most replies. So posting stuff that most people will agree will result in a less popular thread than posting something controversial, offensive, or wrong.
I think this leads to a lot of the negative things you've heard about 4chan, but encouraging disagreements between its members keeps it from becoming a full echo chamber like a lot of social media. They still have some dominant community opinions, but those opinions can't really smother all the other opinions like on most sites.
To be clear, 4chan is a cesspool. But for all it's flaws it does offer something unique that's largely missing on other websites.
Japan in general has weird copyright/patent laws. For example the whole palworld patent lawsuits.
Good news is it probably won't affect people outside of Japan, except that it will stunt games/etc made in Japan.
These are both on the Lenovo Legion Go S. The significance here is that there's both official OEM windows and official OEM steamOS for this device.
