I mean, your phone is probably not listening to you all the time for ad keywords. Maybe some random app you have installed is. Most likely what happened is you said something and then you or someone on your wifi network searched for it.

On the second point, I use an iphone for work and android phone personally. I agree with you that overall the iphone is a better package.

PS2 has had a lot of rapid advancement in emulation over the past few years; there's still some problem titles (MGS2/3, the Ace Combat series, the God of War series) that require extra beef to get to fullspeed, plus a few games like Silent Hill 2 and 3 that are a little glitchy regardless of your hardware unless you enable workarounds, but past that, if you have a quad-core that's either Haswell or later (for Intel) or running on some form of Zen (for AMD), and an even halfway decentish GPU, you can run 95% of the library fullspeed without issues.

I also have controllers that are going to be better than the deck's sticks and buttons. They're small and portable.

Can you be specific what you think is missing that's significantly detracting from the price? What is the deck missing that prevents it from having the functionality of a laptop?

For the vast majority of things that would require a track pad you have joysticks. There is a huge difference in the feel of a track pad vs a joystick.
