This isn't always true, I've have encountered some devices which are now more restricted than they once were.
IIRC there was one customer with a Nokia that managed to lock themselves out. I tried doing a factory reset on the device via recovery...
I wonder if the NPU could be used for something which doesn't just taint the feature due to potential spyware? For example, on the fly texture scaling, on the fly translations, better bots for playing MP games offline, etc?
I'd rather devs just supply binaries where possible, especially if they're aimed at a general audience and don't absolutely require it e.g. rom hacks.
I know this thought will annoying certain individuals/groups (I'm not joking), but relying on...
Luckily I didn't have to deal with Apple, this was more household electronics so it was Samsung, Bosch, Electrolux, things like that. Now that you ask me...Samsung were probably the number one :rofl:
Whose the number one? Apple?
I say that because they are the bigger PITA from my experience due to the 'icloud must be disabled' policy when we get returns/send stuff away, made more annoying if the customer is also a PITA who refuses to accept...
Funny thing is that their reluctance to do so may also be costing them indirectly, a few years back I accidentally fried the processor board of my then relatively old Samsung TV. Had they sold the part directly for say £80-100 I probably would...
It's a shame, because Samsung were otherwise given my experiences over the last few years one of the better Android vendors e.g. longer support and offline backup software (especially with ADB backup being deprecated).
This just sounds like a...
Personally, unless they would have hired an artist instead of using AI, I don't see this as causing any real harm, especially if they used a free model (i.e. they didn't pay for models which use unauthorized sources) or one that uses sources...
Sonic Adventure.....from when it was on Sega Saturn.
I know Sonic Jam's Sonic World was based on the prototype and remnants of this era remained even in the final game.
You're presuming they were even willing to sell.
Remember as well that Shiver was owned by Embracer, a company that has been selling/closing/having layoffs at studios allegedly due to a failed financial deal.
Considering that Shiver has been...
That doesn't fix all the problems though, using my prior example, I'm expecting things like cloud saves, which are useful if you play on multiple different devices.
Well steam has gift vouchers and if this release has cloud saves and ootb steam deck support without any faffing about, that immediately makes the steam version superior IMO.
