Quicker than last time! But then again, the original Ally didn't have crippling sleep issues, only the normal bad ones.

Microsoft has said that docked experience improvements are coming. I think it needs joystick mouse toggle at a minimum.

I've been meaning to give it another look. How's the GFN experience now?

This is my experience with the white $600 Xbox Ally, not the black $1,000 Xbox Ally X, which had fewer sleep issues for me.

But it hasn't been immune. I, and others, occasionally see the black one won't wake up and needs to be force-reset.

And it gets a Bazzite performance boost, too.

I was definitely a Palm user in that era for a reason! Was a little jealous of some things,tho.

I spent two weeks badgering Microsoft and Asus about the white Ally's faulty sleep mode.

Bazzite, too, initially had issues getting it to sleep. But a single developer, with assist from AMD, fixed sleep in two days.

Say it with me: Windows is the problem with Windows handhelds The Xbox Ally is better with Bazzite.

After my Xbox Ally review, I never stopped testing. If Microsoft could get it to sleep without losing gobs of battery or crashing, it'd be a huge deal!

But Microsoft wouldn't even admit anything was wrong.

I switched to Bazzite, and it's like a whole new device.

Thank you for catching!

Elon Musk’s Grokipedia contains copied Wikipedia pages Ironic.

Eight years after the right coined "alternative facts," Elon Musk has given them an alternative encyclopedia, one that claims to purge bias while doing the opposite on topics like "climate change."

Oh, and it's straight-up copying more vanilla Wikipedia entries.

I bought Hallmark’s light-and-sound Xbox 360 Christmas ornament and here it is. That was fast! I slapped down my $29 the day we wrote about Hallmark’s new ornament and it’s already here. Watch when I press the power button — and see how it compares to my Sega Genesis one Hallmark...

No red ring of death, I'm afraid, unless it's very well hidden! I tried double-tapping, triple-tapping, holding down the button...

Hallmark's Xbox 360 Christmas ornament. What do you think? I like the Sega Genesis better, but now I have an Xbox to keep it company under the tree!

I wanted one! But wound up going for a Canon Powershot instead. Justified it because I did a study abroad to Japan.
