  • I get what you mean. When I played cyberpunk 2077 on my PC I noticed a huge performance benefit moving it from my spinning disk to my SSD. I think it’s because it dynamically loads as you play. So driving a car fast down the road for example leads to a lot of distant objects loading very late.

    But on my steam deck I play all kinds of other titles. Even play coop Elden ring and that runs fine but the load times definitely lack compared to my desktop 🤣.

    So I think YMMV depending on the game. I’ve got a 512GB deck with a 1TB SD card, SD card works pretty all right.









  • We’re talking Personal Intelligence, Google’s latest AI upgrade path which lets users opt-in to connecting Google apps to Gemini. Why search for a doctor’s appointment when Google has access to all your calendar events. Why search for a party invite when it reads all your emails. And why search for a specific photo of you and your loved ones to create an image, when it sees all your photos.

    This is coming first to the U.S. before it rolls out everywhere else. Google assures that “bringing personal details into your images shouldn’t mean compromising on privacy, which is why our core commitments haven’t changed. The Gemini app does not directly train its models on your private Google Photos library.”

    But Google does say “we train on limited info, like specific prompts in Gemini and the model’s responses, to improve functionality over time.” That’s why “connecting your Google apps to Gemini remains an opt-in experience that you can adjust in your settings at any time.” It’s opt-in for a reason. Keep that in mind.

    Well, I guess I’m safe for the moment… But I also just checked and you can’t prevent Google photos from accessing your files, so that’s concerning…
