Every single of these x86 emulators on android are complete trash.

Then there's the console emulators on android, besides like 2, almost none of the rest support online multiplayer / netplay functionality.

So no, this is not a viable substitute to game on. Articles like this only show a complete lack of understanding.

I'm no fan of the deck and it has fair share of anti cheat incompatibilities but it still beats attempting to game like this.

The only good thing screenshots and videos like this demonstrate is a proof of concept. What would actually be possible and more if the entire industry and Qualcomm took gaming on arm seriously. But it will never happen because there are too many barriers and other vested interests against it from actually happening.

There's also the "intermediate" one: Emby.

Not all features are free, so there's a subscription or one-time payment mode similar to Plex, but it has less bloatware as Plex.

Jellyfin is always free, but it's missing a ton of useful features, especially relevant the client compatibility part.

Emby does great in that department: you can install an Emby client in almost any device out there, reducing or even eliminating the need for video transcoding.

How well this will work is down to statistics. It will cause more laptops to be thrown out due easier port damage and costlier repair. But they bank on this being offset by decrease in charger circulation. Many people buy additional expensive chargers with multiple ports. Those are very popular and useful. Some phones charge at 100 wats that can use the same charger.
I have several barrel port chargers from laptops that I use for car battery/vacuum charging (other DIY projects). But generally, those are not reusable unless you happen to buy a laptop from the same manufacturer. Dell has even implemented verification of their barrel chargers and will not accept third party chargers with the same plug/voltage.

Supposedly Gabe said: "Delay is temporary, suck is forever.". Obv, some content can be delivered in a patch if it can't be delivered by the set date. But it's also a question how the people are going to react if some content will be delayed to a patch after official release.

PS: Opening cases is gambling, Gabe.
