    hot damn the M4 Mac Mini is insane value at £600, I'd be shocked if any Windows Mini PCs came close to that value for a good while.

    You could get a deal on an oldish mini pc with like ~12th gen intel or ryzen ~6000 series but the mac mini would still be smaller and have more raw compute with less power consumption

    The older Windows ones do win out on storage and RAM too in fairness (particularly in both being upgradeable if you do cheap out in the first place) but man if you have an external SSD lying around the 256GB of the Mac Mini (while still definitely bad) is tolerable.

    Any interest in an editorial/review of the new iPad Mini that's releasing next week?

    If you really want to, I think you could reach a tad bit wider audience if you also try out the Apple Pencil on it (if you have one), if it feels different to use on this than from others (if you have the others).

    I do have the pencil, but I’m pretty sure everything is the same outside of the internals. I think the pen on screen feel really varies by the screen protector you stick on more than anything.

    chairs with a metal frame might look nice, and they might be sturdy, but holy CRAP when I accidentally knee it at full force I would definitely prefer something plastic

    I feel your pain, I leave my dishwasher door open all the time and I constantly knee it when walking past it. But I continue leaving it open.

    Have you considered that the anime girl is what sabotaged your SSD???

    I think I found the issue.
    The issue is that you're using the Aoi Edition and not the Shizuku Edition!
    Scarlet
    Scarlet
    Well... That's some kind of progress just from opening up the PC and reseating the SSD...

    It's a musical about a child's train set coming to life for a race. All the cast are on rollerskates though, it's really something to watch. You can see some clips from it here:

    Out of all recent Samsung Devices that you've done an review on, which one has to be your favorite and why? Yesterday I've gotten the s24 Ultra, and the device compared to my previous a50 has been a BLAST. I've been utilizing everything that has been advertised and everything works like a charm.

    That probably got a better use than my older phone now, this one is a significant upgrade.

    I don’t buy Samsung stuff so uhhhhhh lol, I think the only thing I have from them is an A series tablet, and I do like the UI a lot. It definitely put the S series tablets on my radar in the future.

    @SylverReZ bruh this reminds me of the Galaxy Note 7....
    That was definitely one of the smart(granade)phones ever released

    Collar X Malice was the first game I reviewed for GBAtemp! Feels super nostalgic to be replaying it on such a Vita-esque handheld (though I am emulating the Switch version, not the Vita one!)

    Because it can run beyond SNES and SEGA Genesis? lol

    You're thinking of the cheaper handhelds in the sub-$100 range. For $150-200ish you can get decent GameCube and PS2 support. This one cost $400 and has a chipset capable of all GameCube, Wii, PS2, and basically as much Switch as current emulators are capable of.

    Well I have only ever seen the sub-100$ ones so that makes sense

    Well, @Xdqwerty now you know two people whom has a mid-high handheld tier, like me, and a high-end handheld tier, like Scarlet.

    Hot damn, the Odin 2 dock is genuinely so perfect for the iPad Mini. Four USB ports, HDMI out, ethernet, and charging. And on top of that, an internal slot for an M.2 SSD! Was originally going to use the dock to store my Switch games to swap onto the Odin 2 Mini, but at this point I might just make it a media hub.

    It's an android device with a high end chip from 2022 (snapdragon 8gen2), of course it can play GCN - you could get a phone from 5-6 years ago that could also for cheaper if on a budget

    My pixel 3 ran those games and those are pretty cheap used nowadays - mine just sits in a bin

    Yeah the KT-R1 I was using mainly before this could handle a decent amount of GameCube, and that only had a G99 in it. Phone hardware is pretty damn powerful nowadays.

    Maaaaaan I hope my Odin 2 Mini ships soon. Been tracking the shipping dashboard daily, though having a White Pro model in the 401XX range means I'll probably be waiting a while yet ;_;

    If everything is moving the way of the subscription, more subscriptions should be like CLion.

    It gets cheaper every year you’re subscribed, with a perpetual licence given for the version that was released at the start of your 12 month subscription.

    Ah yes, the reverse telco model, where they upcharge you just to *begin* the service, and it periodically gets *more* expensive as time goes on.
