Yep, and I wager the steam machine is probably going to be, at minimum, 50% more expensive than valve planned it to be, which more than likely will kill it on arrival as far as price/performance goes.

Will there be die hards who buy it no matter the price? yeah… but i wager it’ll see a fraction of sales that the deck did, due to ram and storage price bullshit thanks to AI fucking everything up.

SciFi was just pounding out the hit shows back then. Eureka, Sanctuary, Warehouse 13…

Never thought I’d miss bill gates, but jesus christ microsoft has been a spiral of awful ideas and terrible implementations since he stepped down.

I will never understand how people fell for the most obvious lies from the most famous liar and grifter of our lifetimes, possibly ever

Because hes giving them what they want.

Freedom to be racist, hateful assholes.

Don’t forget Ford, for pardoning nixon, setting the modern and dangerous precedent of not holding presidents accountable.

“Trump didnt enter the war! America has been at war with iran for 389 years! They attacked us first, By making George Washington only have two terms due to election interference! We’re Just Finishing It!” - Deluded Right Wingers.

People don’t like being proven wrong, and often try to dismiss it with some variation of “Im not gonna sit here and be told the whatfer by some random idiot”

Like, excuse me sir, you are the random idiot, because you were the one that was wrong.

So when it came to registering on Lemmy, that popped up in my head and bobs your uncle.

Real nice honeypot too, every time someones wrong and backs themselves into a corner instead of admitting they are wrong, they inevitably give some variation of “living up to your user name, huh”, which just continues to prove that the actual idiot is the one lashing out like that.

How far to the extreme are they gonna take this “License only as you were born” shit?

Start getting gray hair? Thats not the hair color you were born with, immediate license revocation.

Amputation? Scars? You werent born with those, immediate license revocation.

Hair color was blond at birth, but now is brown? Oh you better believe thats a revocation.

he’ll be swept up by ice for existing, spend 3 weeks in a Totally-Not-Concentration-Camp™ before being deported via airdrop to somewhere in the middle of the Sahara, to far from towns and travel routes to get help before dying of exposure.

i think its a bit much to still ask the steam deck to run new releases well, especially with valves refusal to release updated version unless they can make major, foundational improvements.

the steam deck is 4 years old, afterall, and it wasnt exactly a top end machine when it released… being little more than a slightly modified APU based system.

Same reason conservatives don’t want conservative women.

They don’t want something that fits their interests and opinions.

They want to beat and conquer something that thinks differently from them, and mold them into something that is subservient to their interest and opinions.

as long as there are no checks and balances, as long as no one exists with the will and sense of duty to do their job, there is no distinction between legal and illegal.

Now all it needs to do is randomize your fingerprint.

because your fingerprint can be just as, if not more identifiable and trackable, than your cookies and such.

Because if something exists in a vacuum, without challenge, then theres no motivation for betterment and no repercussions for enshitification.

probably the same reason I refused to leg it go.

I actually own it, control it, and can use it at my wimsy.

vs streaming, which I could buy it and still have it taken away from me cause you never own anything when its streaming/digital download.

worker productivity continues to climb ever higher, yet wages never grow with it.

take someone from the 1950s office and ask them to do the same amount of work that an officer worker today does, and they’d quit on the spot. especially since they’d be paid less today than they were in the 1950s as far as buying power goes.

No, I dont use it.

I get enough hallucinations and blatant lies from biologicals, I don’t need an AI erasing a mountain to consume its coal underneath it to tell me bullshit.

Line must goes up until it hits a ceiling, then system collapses… but line go up again!

remember that ram drive that gigabyte made like 20+ years ago?

That worked by putting sticks of ram in it, with… i think AA batteries? to maintain the data during power downs?

AI is the last great bubble.

And it, like all bubbles, will pop.

You are already seeing the people in the know flee the field.

You see reports that every company that has adopted it has at best changed nothing, at worst lost money on it.

Outside of the psychotic linked in CEO bubble, literally no one wants AI. And every day its generating more and more hate due to its halucinations, mistakes, and bullshit.

Its garnering massive negative attention for its use, and for anyone stupid enough to adopt it at this point (cough intel cough)

Its a dying star, and people are frantically trying to harvest the last bits of warmth from it before going off in search of new horizons.
