How so? What platforms were excluded by the use of Rust?
comment
I don't get the impression they care that much about performance. Besides, it would limit the number of platforms it could run on if it requires a recent GPU.

More like Commodore 46.

I think they use LLVM rather than GCC, which makes it even easier.

It's only unusable if you try running bloated modern apps on it.

Nah, as the other poster said 4 or 8 MB was what was common on 486 machines. Even less on 386. Most 386 motherboards didn't even support more than 16MB.

Seems like only old reddit is down.

I don't believe that. Can Vista even run with just 256MB of RAM?

Like with most things related to UI regressions, I blame smartphones.

Wine for Amiga is as confusing as Windows Subsystem for Linux. I thought it would be a port of Wine for the Amiga but it's instead something to run Amiga software on PC.

This discussion is about the Steam Deck.

No, unsafe doesn't disable the borrow checker.

What do you mean by that? AFAICT it's on the board.

The 500+ model has NVMe storage and comes with a 256GB drive.

They do need to lock it down if they want to subside it with store purchases, otherwise it's too tempting for non-gaming uses where they don't get any money after the initial sale.

Written in Rust with an MIT license for good measure.

What makes you think they're talking about CPU? It reads to me like it's memory.

Those aren't really good names either, IMO. Even the 360 was just OK. They should just have gone with Xbox 2. Or Xbox 3 and skipped a number if they really were worried about lagging behind PlayS…

Poor name, clashes with the old KDE Javascript engine used with KHTML.

Same situation but I'm using NetBSD instead. I'm betting it'll still be supporting 32-bit x86 long after the linux kernel drops it.

PS5 version doesn't suffer from this issue. It's already much smaller.

A dumb terminal doesn't even need a tenth of that.

It absolutely is slower. To an extreme degree even. It takes 10 to 20 seconds to load and is incredibly sluggish to use on some low-end machines I use regularly.

You may be thinking of UT99 or even the first Unreal. UT2k4 required a GPU and didn't have a software renderer.
