AMD have reached out to him in the comments to see if they can work something out. So there might be hope

Stream deck as a controller? Finally PC can compete with the WiiU for the title of best console!

Seriously though, having the steam somehow able to show your voice chat, friends, screenshots etc while playing would be cool

Some people live alone.

Plenty of people use their phones as TVs for streaming Netflix.

He got deadlock pretty right as well, I believe.

Yeah, it's really confusingly worded

Last week the Livingstone Shire council voted to cancel a deal to install the Capricorn Coast’s first EV charger, and a followup meeting held on Thursday to reverse the decision initially failed to win over the required number of four councillors.

But a surprise second motion from the mayor reversing last week’s decision while also asking state and national local government associations to investigate renewables, got up.

So my read of it is:

  1. Cancel project
  2. Try to undo cancellation but fail
  3. Try and succeed to undo cancellation

But I'm not that confident in my comprehension of it

The article and title have been updated.

Council votes again to dump public EV fast charging station – then changes its mind

I think it's saying that they'll go ahead with the chargers now. In having trouble parsing the edits to be honest

There are a few reviews talking about data harvesting clauses in the EULA. I haven't looked into it but might be worth double checking if that concerns you.

Oh... I see!

I personally prefer the "also play PC games on Android" strategy so was looking at it from that angle.

I don't think they would get away with selling games in the app if games were playable on Android (demonstrating Android compatibility). I think they would have to do what Amazon kindle does and tell you to go buy your game somewhere else.

Edit: Here's the policy. You might be right but it looks like a grey area to me.

They would have to distribute it independently. Google would have no say in the matter.

That's exactly my point. The current app lets you buy PC games despite being distributed through the store. If you can buy Android games on it, well, I doubt Google will ignore it. And even if Google was okay with it, there's no way to easily communicate to users who start using the app there that they need to download another app from a website.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I'm just saying I think there are reasons they haven't done it (yet?). I think they certainly must have considered it. I've certainly been wondering about it for a long while too.

why not both?

Sure. I would assume they would do it the same way as steam deck, where that's the priority. The wide variety of phone specs on the market might have an impact on how they could support it etc.
