It could be more interesting to look at all the consoles, not only the playstations.

N64/PS1/Saturn: 146 million units sold worldwide

GC/PS2/Dreamcast/Xbox: 214

Wii/PS3/Xbox 360: 275

WiiU/Switch/PS4/Xbox One: 338

Switch 2/PS5/Xbox Series: 150

So since only the last generation has lower number of units sold, it seems to me that the market for console is either only recently declining, or the cycle is much longer and people takes more time to buy the new generation.

> it's great to know that USB-C ports can just be replaced that easilly

Yes exactly! To me it's surely the biggest win. It's very easy to break them when the power chord is plugged in. I'm really pleased that we will now be able to fix them without having to change the whole motherboard (which surely very few people do because of expansive and how ridiculous it sounds)

There is a lot of choices in that area, but for me every time there was something I was unhappy with. So in the end I just wrote my own. It works exactly like I want, and it was a fun project to do anyway.

Next stuff I want to add in it, is the automatic translation of lyrics (maybe with the deepl api).

It would be LISEZMOI.md

I really don't understand the hostility here. The digital euro seems like a good way to reduce the power of companies like visa and mastercard, and reduce the fees too. If the government is providing a way to pay freely in a digital way, why would I pay a company to do the same (or worse, see the last scandal between the card companies and steam)?

8 years ago was the first time that person encountered a problem with btrfs. But that wasn’t the last apparently:

Does someone know if there's an increase in memory usage for Gnome or if it's about the same? I am wondering if I can update an old computer with only 4GB of memory.

Some people support this law, not because they think those pesticides are harmless, but because other EU country can still use these pesticides which give them an economic advantage. I don't understand while they are not instead asking for a European law to ban them. So every EU country would play with the same rules.

I frequently use the Switch's power brick to charge my Thinkpad, as it's smaller and so easier to transport than the Thinkpad's original power brick.

>Australia was the first country to widely support chip/pin

Do you have any source on that? I find it rather surprising.

Do you know if there are some professional games that have been made with Odin and released on steam or on game consoles?
