It’s definitely the case that not all batteries are created equal, though I think the only case I can think of where battery failure was pretty common was the Nissan Leaf and honestly an ICE Nissan also has a pretty common failure point (the CVT) so the moral of the story is maybe hold off on a Nissan.

Here we go again.

Not really. The batteries in EVs are not at all the same as the batteries in a power tool. The fact is that the batteries in these cars are babied to death. What do batteries hate? Heat. So these batteries are cooled with refrigerated liquid. Furthermore, they are never fully charged or discharged. They operate in a…

Your issues are fixable. Stadia has some issues detecting codec compatibility and resolution on some computers. In these cases you will need to enforce VP9 and bump the quality with the Stadia+ chrome extension. When you play on a chromecast, the graphics is great out of the box. If you have great graphics and low…

I really don’t get the Stadia hate. Would it be nice to play a game I’ve purchased for another system on Stadia for free? Sure. However if I buy a PS4 game, it sure as heck won’t work on XBox so I’m not sure why you’re complaining here other than the fact that Nvidia gives you the game for free if you own on another…

Hi! You can call me Steve, and I play Stadia frequently. Now you know someone who plays it! The interesting thing to me that suggests that Stadia will start to gain more traction is that it is so much more focused on developers and streamers than GeForce now, gamepass, etc.

but the monthly fee is optional for 4k content. If you want to buy Baldur’s gate for 70$ and play it on our PC, or Chrome Book or Mac or what ever and don’t pay anything else.. If you also want to play it on your TV then go buy an 80$ streaming dongle and a 50$ controller to serve as your AAA Next Gen Console.

Most people who I’ve talked to that tried Stadia and GeForce Now thinks Stadia is by far the better platform as far as graphics, latency and loading times. GeForce only makes sense if you already have a large Steam library.

Is your comment based on your usage of the platform? 

I mean you have to pay full price for a PC game if you own it on PlayStation. And you DONT have to pay for the subscription so when you say completely shit your describing the same exact model that exists today everywhere

touch screen with great pen/inking support

Because this is a tablet.  I greatly prefer a tablet over a weak laptop since I’m only using it for web browsing and video watching.  At $500 it seems like an expensive tablet.

Bought my high-school aged daughter a Surface Go for school and she really loves it. At one point she wanted an iPad but eventually realized that there were applications she needed to be able to use that weren’t available on the iPad. One thing I see her doing all the time is using the stylus for her math classes. I’m…

As someone who bounces between all the consoles and the PC on a regular basis I’ll say this. PCs will always be superior in terms of power, but they will always be inferior when it comes to ease of use and stability. And you have the patience and/or knowledge to deal with that instability when it happens.

I didn’t know being broke and having a lack of money saving skills is what made someone an adult. Waiting a year, may not do anything, as there are a few that predict the lowest price, for a year, will be the launch price. (Take that with a grain of salt obvs) Not to mention, the immediate upgrade you get for your…

“The rest of us, adults with common sense, budgets, and limited weekly video game time”

I am the thing you describe but I will still get it day one. This generation isn’t like other generations. If I buy it day one and it enhances the performance of my existing library, that’s fine with me until the more games roll out.

Or adults with common sense that want one and have the funds?

So billy bob who has absolutely 0 experience, either technical or business, in the field can say with such certainty that it won’t work. Shut’r down boys!

That would be “sheer nonsense”, unless you’re cutting the nonsense with a sharp tool.
