Putin orders development of homegrown Steam Deck-like gaming machines — 100% self-sufficiency goal apparently applies to gaming, too
They have already announced that it will be Intel Atom X5 with 64Gb SSD for around $500
Lmao. Hope they explode like the Samsung phones did!
i’ve seen a few videos of ukranians using decks to control drones. maybe he thinks there will be military applications on the russian side too
I had more faith in Kim Jong Un making his own theme parks.
There’s a lot that can and should be done to break the x86-Windows-Steam monopoly, and I wouldn’t mind a huge middle finger to Nvidia, but I do not anticipate Russia doing any of the right things, even for the wrong reasons. At least China’s gonna push for weird MIPS and RISC chips.
“home grown” aka mostly Chinese parts
