Actually the disk drives makes the console attractive, as you can snag cheap second hand games

The PS 5 price was very reasonable, considering how expensive it was to build a PC at that time, now the PS5 Pro is a completely different beast and I do agree it makes very little sense.

You can install Plex/Jellyfin on the PC and get a much better experience, watch on the phone, tablet, serve multiple clients, etc.

So your argument is unsubstantial.

The best part of the PS5 is that you can buy and sell discs at much more reasonable prices.

But my feeling is that they will soon start shipping consoles without a disk drive. Maybe PS 6 will be the last one.

800€ in Europe, that’s a hard NO. Plus devs will still target the PS5 for optimising their games. This release was completely unnecessary.

The only reason why it exists is perhaps to try to normalise the higher prices for the PS 6.

Same with Witcher 3. That was an amazing game. Or Skyrim 5.

Thanks, I will do exactly that then

Yes, I was thinking about that as well and even found some guide on how this can be done. Actually I was eyeing uBlue but it should be exactly the same procedure for both.

The other option is I guess to rebase the system to something like this https://github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue?tab=readme-ov-file which already provides the Hyprland.

Are there any particular advantages and disadvantages of both methods that I should be aware of?

Firefox Nightly because of the extensions, Libredirect, uBlock Origin, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc.

I am in tech and so far the only way to get a decent pay rise was to swap jobs. Every 3-4 years. At my last position, I got something like 3-4% pay rise, for the last 3 years, when the official inflation was more than 20%, while I am sure they have adapted their pricing accordingly.

Every time it is the same story and excuses. And it is really tiring.
