The recent financial report from Shift Up, as shared on GamingOnLinux, emphasizes their plans to tailor the game for devices akin to modern gaming handhelds, such as the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally, which were previously referred to as UMPC (Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer).
Throughout this period, I’ve experimented with more than a dozen headsets, ranging from gaming headsets for consoles and computers, to Blue Yeti microphones, among others. I believe that the right audio equipment can transform even mediocre sounds into something more appealing.
Since the new Lenovo Legion Go S has hit the market, I thought it would be interesting to see how it stacks up against the ROG Ally. For those unaware, there are two iterations of the Legion Go S – the white 8-inch version running Windows 11 and the dark purple Nebula Violet Legion Go S powered by SteamOS. Here’s a look at how they compare:
1. Design: The ROG Ally has a more compact design, making it easier to carry around. However, the Legion Go S offers a more premium feel with its metal construction.
2. Operating System: The Windows 11 version of the Legion Go S provides a familiar desktop-like experience, while the SteamOS-powered Nebula Violet Legion Go S is optimized for gaming and has access to the vast Steam library.
3. Performance: Both devices offer impressive performance with their Intel processors and dedicated graphics. However, the ROG Ally seems to have a slight edge in terms of raw power due to its higher clock speeds and cooling system.
4. Battery Life: The Legion Go S boasts longer battery life compared to the ROG Ally, making it ideal for those on-the-go gamers who don’t want to be tethered to a power outlet all the time.
5. Price: The ROG Ally is currently more expensive than both versions of the Legion Go S, which may make it a tough sell for budget-conscious consumers.
Overall, both devices are impressive in their own right and cater to different needs. The choice between them will depend on your specific preferences regarding design, operating system, performance, battery life, and price.
The initial part of the conversation implied that the OpenAI executive perceived the Biden-Harris administration’s stance towards technology and business as antagonistic or unaccommodating, according to Altman’s account.
According to Altman, the cost of utilizing a certain level of AI decreases approximately tenfold every year, and as prices decrease, there is significantly increased usage. For instance, the price per token for GPT-4 dropped around 150 times from its early 2023 cost to mid-2024 when it became GPT-4o. This rate of change is far greater than Moore’s law, which only saw a doubling every 18 months.
Elon Musk and Sam Altman from OpenAI have a friendly yet competitive dynamic. Initially, OpenAI was focused on non-profit research, but under Musk’s accusation of straying from its roots, it has been moving towards profit-oriented ventures, especially with Microsoft as a significant partner. Consequently, OpenAI is now divided into two entities: one maintaining the non-profit status, while the other is involved in partnerships worth billions with Microsoft and other investors. Notably, the latest funding round valued the company at approximately $157 billion.
