sometimes I think of the tech news as being like a little ball of sunshine
that I can hold anytime I want and it's like that baby
that baby in my tummy after valve released a repair guide for the steam
deck gaming handheld that was very clear about telling you not to attempt repairs
the company has announced a new partnership with iFixit you fix it we
all fix it the company that's all about repairs so I'm I'm already confused the
partnership will see iFixit sell authentic replacement parts for the
steam deck for those who want to directly go against valve's wishes
iFixit also posted a tear down of the deck console itself on their website
showcasing how to do everything valve said not to do
turns out the process is pretty straightforward except for removing the
L-shaped battery if you do that valve will be extra upset you're a loser
this is just really hard news for someone like me to read I take advice at
face value when James tells me to do something
Nintendo has announced they are closing down the eShop for the company's Wii U
and 3DS consoles making it impossible to
purchase any digital games for those platforms
the more the better alphabet soup the
shutdown will occur in late March and understandably many Retro Game fans are
not happy about this given that many games made for those consoles are still
unavailable to buy literally anywhere else and Nintendo has this really
annoying habit of cracking down on alternative ways to source and play
their games
to anticipate this reaction and posted a really defensive sounding q a entry
before deleting it that imagined a user asking hey doesn't Nintendo have an
obligation to preserve its classic games by continually making them available for
purchase to which Nintendo replies basically LOL know by our other games
yeah once we remastered them and released them on the switch
successor and great news for Disney adults David
Disney is building a special Utopia just for you
it's a thing that's right pop culture

family-friendly towns complete with Disney staff that will incorporate
storytelling somehow like you live here
the First Community called katino will be built near Palm Springs with Resort
style housing complexes Villas condos and a Grand Oasis with clear turquoise
Waters thanks to Disney's Crystal lagoons technology
it's exactly just doping but this isn't actually the first time Disney has tried
this Celebration Florida was built in 1996 and its buildings are now

say do not make eye contact Microsoft has released some major
updates to Windows 11 with The Insider build getting new touch gestures start
menu folders and live captions but even more exciting the consumer build now has
support for Android apps via the Amazon app store
what are you for
I can't wait to play absolutely oh I see I can't wait to play all my Amazon app
store games that I play on my phone but on my PC now I don't I don't do that do
you do does anyone Amazon raise a glass to AMD because this week the company's
market valuation surpassed intels for the first time ever that's largely
thanks to team Red's 35 billion dollar acquisition of zilinx which was recently
completed but don't sleep on Intel who's reportedly looking to acquire Tower
semiconductor for 5.4 billion dollars
it's a lot less but I think how it works is whoever buys the most companies wins
right I should get an AMD chip in my PC
because they bought and a GPU while you're at it why not throw it in there
it's easy as that if a screenshot on the Internet is to be trusted and they
usually are the recently announced game Nintendo switch Sports May support AMD's
image enhancing Fidelity FX super resolution technology even though the
switch runs on a Tegra processor made by NVIDIA
it shouldn't be surprising actually AMD has been very intentional about making a
lot of their Tech open source but still if this screenshot comes true NVIDIA
would have to live with the fact that AMD made their Hardware perform better
that's so embarrassing help when you didn't want it
Microsoft just pulled a Facebook and will be requiring users of the alt space
VR social app which it acquired some time ago to log in with a Microsoft
account they're also removing all open social hubs which reportedly enabled
inappropriate behavior and harassment due to the lack of moderation dang
sounds like real life where I harass James Daly oh thankfully allowing
Microsoft and Facebook to moderate all of our metaverse experiences will make
us so much more safe thanks guys and an
Android developer going by K dragon has managed to tweak the virtualization
feature in the Android 13 developer beta to run both Windows 11 and Linux on a
pixel 6 and yes he did successfully run Doom as is tradition
unfortunately Android 13 doesn't support nested virtualization so you can't use
Windows 11's Android app support to run Android apps in Windows on an Android I
know which again I don't I don't know why but
but I do know why you would come back here on Friday more Tech news the tech
news will never let you down it will always be there for you and make you
happy I don't know what that is
