Hello, apologies if this count as an overdone post, haven't seen any that mention this in the last 2 months when searching and I'd appreciate recent info with all the firmware updates on the 4 and 4p I've been hearing about.

So! I'm a newbie. I'm really hoping to find the best value for money for purely videos. My phone (oppo find x9 pro) takes pics that I'm already very happy with! Videos, however, aren't great.

I'm a big "bang for the buck" guy. I've been seeing a lot of hype about the pocket 3 these last couple of years, but with the amount of firmware updates I'm seeing on the pocket 4, is the answer still the same? Is the pocket 3 still the best value for money or is the 100-150 extra worth it over the earlier model?

Thank you so much!

Hello!

I currently own a steam deck, a switch 2 and a pc.

I've been playing my rom hacks on my steam deck. However, games that are meant to be played on a double screen look like shit. I love tinkering and such and I've been seeing the Thor on my feed quite a few times and I've been thinking of selling my steam deck to get an Ayn Thor.

Now that context is out of the way, here are a couple questions I'd appreciate someone answering :

1. what do I lose in this "trade" of sort (knowing I already have a beefy pc)? I can't think of much but I'm pretty sure I'm missing at least one thing lol

2. How does it handle newer android games? Scratch that, how does it handle pc games in general? I'd love to install some kind of windows emulator (gamehub?) to play indie games on my steam library. Also, how does it handle older games that are still pretty demanding like The witcher 3 or Skyrim?

3. How much is there actually to tinker with? What I loved the most about my steam deck was finding decky plugins and messing around with them, coding myself a custom home menu, etc. I do want to personalize my console and it's what brought me towards the steam deck originally.

4. How's battery life on average? 3 hours? more?

5. How's build quality? does it break / scratch easily or not really? I do take care, but just to know if I'd need a screen protector or a case of sort.

6. How long do preorders take to ship? Like say i bought it now for batch 7 is there some sort of ETA somewhere?

I know it's a lot, but I appreciate any help! Thank you!

Hello!

To give some context, I'm a french canadian guy and am looking at universities in japan that offer english classes and Osaka University's international program looked great. Was just wondering if anyone knew the acceptance rate for this kind of situation or simply had some insight about my chances of getting in. HUS program.

Basically just want to know if it's incredibly competitive or if it's okay.

Thanks for the help!

Hello!

I'm a french-canadian (18M) and, in Quebec, we have something called "cegep" before being able to go to university. That takes around 2-3 years to finish before being allowed to go to Uni and, Imma be honest, I do not want to go through 3 years just to do 3-4 more years in university.

I have a Vocational studies diploma in IT (from a real school, took around a year and a half) and have a pretty decent portfolio, but nowhere near the 10 year minimum for a work visa.

I tried searching things up and pretty much everything I saw visa related required a university degree.

I do plan on going on a work holiday over there for at least a year to actually experience the work culture and see if I do want to make this into a long term thing, but I do want to know in advance if it's even possible for me to move there on the long term closely after my work holiday is done.

Just wanted either some insight or some ideas on what to actually do here because I am a bit lost.

Any help is appreciated!
