it usually depends on context of how the computer is being used, but usually speaking, the major OS companies invalidate older hardware.

intels 7700k(2017) and older are invalidated for W11 usage and W10 is on life support now for security. Apple is approaching the time period where its about to sunset intel based macbook/mac mini/imac/mac pro support.

in the context of mainstream general computers, 12 years is a LONG time. its also around the cutoff for whats worth selling vs whats worth recycling at my workplace.

insurance is paying it out regardless, and the gun owner said if it doesnt, theyd pay it off.

the cost between the gun owner and insuance will probably cover it.

the average person on lemmy probably cares more about privacy than the average internet dweller.

that was basically my chain of purchase as well. I knew way in advance of bambus shady history. Elegoo came in with a fairly affordable option that doesnt constantly shit itself as some of the printers of yesteryears (not saying its 0 though, you can find cases of it all the time)

its under tollerate level because they dont mandate i have to use elegoo slicer (free to use orcaslicer), and so far at least allows for open source firmwares to exist.

the company search is probably using fuzzy search, so any company that has the term valve, and corporation somewhere in it would show up in the search.

feel free to look up shipping manifests of other companies on it to show examples e.g Nintendo of America

a lot of you consider facebook + whatsapp + instagram usage covers a large chunk of thr western sphere

wireless game controller is its own option seperate from the game consoles

its clear its not the controller. what is not clear is if the shipments are either steam deck restocks, steam machine, or steam frames.

febuary is the odd month in steam hardware year because theres usually a heavy spike of chinese pc gamers playing in cafes due to free time from CNY, so whatever is in those cafe pcs are over represented in the statistics for febuary

the person didn’t ask for qualcomm/mediatek/nvidia/endless based arm chips, he specifically asked for the new macbook(implied neo) running linux soon because the term “it” was used to refer to it. Arm can already run linux, which would be redundant question to ask.

given the pace of asahi Linux on m series macbooks youre going to ne waiting for a few years

im aware of certain companies as well behind the scenes doubling down on ai workload very recently as well, so China definitely isnt alone on that front.

I went to go look it up for my old setup, turns out its mainly for the older models, as the codecs are only supported on the newer revisions of the shield tv.

though with the shield tv, one of the missing things that would be nice to have would be AV1 support (as Nvidia only supported AV1 starting with Ampere based gpus)

its still very capable, but best depends. iirc there are certain audio formats the shield doesnt support.

i personally would love a new shield using ~switch 2 soc just so i can move emulation/lower end pc onto it.

to the people who read stuff on /c/technology, likely not.

i was the same on my end, and my current phone even has a 3.5 jack (zenfone 9). i used to have aeveral wired headphones ive lost over the years.

in like 2019, i got airpod pros for functionally free, never lost them yet. then had pro gen 2 and havent lost them yet. (again functionally free in my case)

oldest phone was pixel 6, basically when google switched to tensor and added the hardware and software requirements needed for graphene team to support it.

librem 5? pine phone?

just dont expect either to be very performant or popular

because the steam deck used in the project had a broken screen.

prices can go down, they just dont publicly announce why.

for example, after covid functionally ended and the cryptoboom crashed, Nvidia and AMD over ordered on dies. so there was a flood of Ampere and RDNA2 gpus they needed to get rid of. because of the flood, it killed the launch value of Lovelace and RDNA3.

Ampere stock was legitamitely bad that when EVGA left the gpu sales market, one of the biggest reasons was because Nvidia forced AIBs to buy up their ampere stock if they wanted any lovelace stock.

gamers depends most games (>90%) will generally run. kernel anti cheat games mostly wont. Nvidia based gamers might run into a few more hurdles. modding select games might prove to be slightly more challenging (mainly the ones that revolve around executables to work) but generally speaking most things in windows have an analog in linux.
