Ok, thank you

My pleasure.

It’s not exact.

In fact, gaming cafe is relatively rare in China, especially the blockade and control during the COVID-19 struck it hard.

The Chinese people mostly use the PC at home. It’s cheaper than go to the gaming cafe. It’s because the house prices and rent in China is very high, cause by the CCP monopolized all the land trade in the market. They called that “socialist public ownership”, it means all resources in China legally belong to the CCP, includes the lands.

The very important reason Chinese people game on the PC is that the CCP needs the PCs to “help building a great country”. So it can’t be banned. Then lots of people pretend to buy it for work, but actually use it for gaming or other entertainment most of the time…

That’s why the Biden government banned the AI using by China. The CCP will definitely use it to enhance its military capabilities and international influence.

I am from China. I think your opinion is not true.

Chinese people is not rich, but take a month income to buy a console , it is affordable.

The fact is the strict scrutiny from the CCP and pervasive plundering of people’s privacy and the cognitive manipulation of people through the data algorithms of technology companies causing this.

In China, all the legal games need being approved by the CCP’s government, and the legal consoles just have about one hundred games approved .

The technology companies like tencent have almost all the internet portals or other Internet information channels. And almost all the Chinese internet companies must structure their CCP branch, serving for the CCP’s power, and must provide the authority delete, block, and review any information to the CCP.

In China, any information the Chinese people have received must serve the benefits of the Chinese Communist Party, let alone go against it.

That’s why Chinese people are addicted in the mobile games. Almost every console game is legally banned and the console games have only a small amount of exposure and traffic.

the console gamer in China face tough technical difficulties from the CCP to buy and download/transport. Mobile games have huge propaganda. Even the former Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary/Current Prime Minister of the State Council of China Li Qiang stand up for mobile games “genshin impact“.

To be brief, in China, console game cannot bring benefits to the CCP, it provided the culture anti CCP’s values. That’s what the CCP opposes.

It’s just a balance between performance and safety. Everyone in different situations needs to consider whether it’s suitable for themselves to make different decisions. The most safe usage doesn’t always mean the best usage for every situation, OK?

The safety of tor browser is great, but I usually use the private mode of safari or firefox, I am lazy to wait for the tor... unless I do some important things.

Ok, seems it’s time to seek next search engine.

Safari and Firefox are good enough for me, especially since I started using the SSD 3 years ago.

And duckduckgo is good enough too instead of google.

And the free RSS reader NetNewsWire is good enough for me instead of the automated recommendation system of google.

It is an improvement over the original steam deck screen. But I wish Valve could use some non-PWM screens to protect my eyes better

I cannot use the oled screen, it hurt my eyes. Unfortunately the original steam deck screen also flickers.
