Got a framework 13 the steam deck kicks its butt in everything. No competition especially for the price

Considering I got my deck last week, not surprising

If I had to guess, the game isn’t gamepad optimized i.e. CIV 5, so the game is marked as a keyboard game.

Just shows how well steam input works.

Shhhh, she might hear you and totally wasn’t my plan.

If my original Steam Controller dongle wasn’t destroyed I’d totally test it too.

These controllers worked on my friends system.

My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.

It’s no worse then my older consoles and the alternatives from Ayn or Ambernic, and the facts it’s being consider and worked on is a positive.

Honestly I’m just going to treat it like my PS2. Just need to put my controller near the deck if I want to use it.

If valve is working on it (which it looks like they are) it’s a matter of if than when

Thanks, no clue why it was so hard to find this, hopefully it’s something that’ll be enabled in the future.

According to other comments, they are supposed to be transparent… then he ate butter chicken or some food with dye.

I think we’ve hit the end times for AI. The biggest player in the space OpenAI couldn’t be profitable by selling its services to business, nor directly to consumers. Subscription moneys nor licensing its models is working too. So the last avenue they have is this, shilling to marketers hoping for scrap.

On top of Nvidia having to stop selling RAM I think the breaks are about to hit AI and hard once the current supply runs out. I wonder how long that could take?

Zorin pro was the main reason I never stuck with Zorin OS however while they heavily advertise that the price is for the software. I think the real cost comes with “installation support”.

For many first time users, having support help with an install is a necessity and they will pay for it. See Geek Squad as an excellent example.

Plus having a preconfigured Linux experience is good for these users.

Destruction of the planet, hardly. The earth has and will shrug of worse than humanity. Thinking otherwise is giving humanity too much credit.

Destruction of humanity is more likely. We are actively making the earth worse for us, and many other species. But there are many more which will survive and thrive after we destroy ourselves.

I live in a house designed by a boomer. Networking comes in the upper floor while nothing is in the lower

These power over Ethernet is the only way I can get networking down stairs.

Practically: selfies with the main cameras

Realistically, brings the cost down on these displays when they are used in more devices than flip phones and the software is already implemented.

Yes modern Windows is based on the NT Kernal. However to keep with compatibility with older programs, NT needs to be compatible with DOS. For most people they never saw the transition from DOS to NT, since it was quietly done with Win XP.

When I was taking cyber security, Sandboxing and Linux was one of the topics which was brought up.

https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/selinux_users_and_administrators_guide/chap-security-enhanced_linux-securing_programs_using_sandbox

Not sure when I associated it with the entire OS. It appears that the Host OS can be sandboxed for added security, and some containerized applications like Flatpaks are sandboxed. But not all applications are. Like the OS provided packages in most package managers.

From a windows perspective Linux does 2 things differently which makes it more secure to Windows.

1. Like MacOS it doesn’t need antivirus software like Norton. Windows needs antivirus because DOS the OS windows is based on, had it where any program had access to anything. This is still sadly true even on Windows 11. Linux is Sandboxed, where instead of giving the program full access to everything, you just give it a sandbox with what it needs.

Unless you deliberately run a program as the admin of Linux (su or sudo), malicious code can just delete system32.

2. Linux’s is open source and while the desktop market share is tiny, there are a massive market in servers. As a result since there are a lot of eyes on the project if/when problems are found they are fixed quickly. I remember a time when a malicious actor was trying to add a backdoor into a library as a blob and it was caught.

Windows on the other hand is closed source, meaning if MS can’t find the issue, the only time it is found is when it’s in the field. To avoid downtime MS offers bug bounty programs for those who can find issues, rather than to let them exploit it.

I went from Ryzen 1000 to intel 12000 since I need single threaded performance above all else (CAD). Plus it was a steal of a deal.

If Intel ever sorts out their drivers or it gets cheap enough I might for at 14000 chip but no further.
