That’s not going to happen. That’s how they make their money. OpenAI has a non-profit arm and a for-profit arm. The for-profit arm is limited to 100 times the investment into it. But there have been 11 billion invested into Open AI LP. So they could potentially make up 1.1 trillion dollars. They have money to make off of this thing that has had billions of dollars invested in it.
I very specifically said if it’s your only device. I’m not dunking on your setup or saying it’s not worth it. I’m saying it only seems worth it to me if you have an extra monitor and no other computer around. Which you say is the exact case you are in.
Sure but if you are putting into a dock then you probably have a larger screen and a full desk setup. If it’s your only device then it makes sense but if you have another computer with monitors already then it doesn’t. I’m mainly talking about using Bluetooth to hook up a mouse and keyboard and to somehow work off that small screen far away from you. If you put it in a dock then you’ve essentially just turned it into a computer with monitors and anything else. So most of the time if you have monitors you are likely to have a whole other computer that’s likely to be more powerful than the deck. The deck is a powerful handheld but weak computer.
yes but why would you? I mean I guess if it’s literally your only device but most steam deck users are going to have another computer.
I’ve actively found this as well but honestly, I think it’s for the best because most of the time Reddit posts with actual answers aren’t well-cited. So if anyone asks how you know something, “uhh Reddit told me” is pretty weak. So Google is getting better because Reddit has gotten worse. It means that you have to go to the actual articles and find the actual sources instead of this daisy chain of information. We have a huge issue with misinformation and this actually helps resolve it.
It turns out though, the mods are also users. That’s the whole free labor market Reddit has tapped into. They don’t have to pay mods and so users are mods. Yet now they are trying to monetize just half and completely failing to understand what their userbase even looks like.
I liked PUBG when it first released but I found it didn’t hold my interest through the patches. It was fun but not interesting. It didn’t have a depth of mechanics that interacted. CSGO on the other side of that spectrum is interesting but not fun. CSGO has a lot of little mechanics you can figure out how to counter and work with but they aren’t fun to do. A-D peaking just doesn’t feel fun. It feels interesting to have in a game but it didn’t make that game more satisfying.
I meant from social connections not technical experts. Frankly social media isn’t the place to get technical answers. It’s typically not great and most of the time is a hive mind mentality. Even on Reddit or stack exchange. I’ve seen decades of questions in my field and the answers with the most points are the ones that match the general hive mind not actual facts. It’s typically not worth it to get answers from social media.
So under arrest really means he checked into the courts and said “Yup, I am fighting this legal charge.” and walked away.
Terminal games:
Adventure - A classic adventure game. (In the BSDGames package) Hack - The game that inspired NetHack. (In the BSDGames package) Greed - A game where you go through a number field, eating the numbers. It’s hard to explain but very fun. Rouge - It’s nice to go back to the classics. I like Hack a bit more though.
Non-Terminal Games:
Secret Maryo Chronicles - It’s like Super Mario Bros. Alien Arena - Kind of like natural selection. Urban Terror - Kind of like Counter-Strike Warsow - Kind of like Quake. Xonotic - Like Quake again.
I think that’s all I played back in the day.

5% of the mdau. So it’s not a soft hit.
I have a gaming laptop and a strong desktop. I just got 350 dollars on Steam that is directly tied to my Steam account. So I’ve been considering if I buy tons of games or if I buy a Steam deck. If I buy a Steam deck I might be able to more easily play games but I feel like it’s going to be obsolete in a year or two. Feels like buying games right now is the best move because I already have the hardware.
From your comment. I’ll likely be skipping on the Steam deck. I kind of want one just for collection but probably not worth it at this time.

Absolutely and frankly I’d be perfectly fine with A/B testing if it was opt-in. Pop up a little window or notification that says “Hey, this is a new feature, you want it?”
If
You know the feature isn’t good and to move on. A lot of people would call that data inconclusive because they want to believe the feature is good but not being able to convince people to opt-in is feedback.
Experimenting on users should be illegal.
So I bought and played the game on release. It wasn’t great but it wasn’t as bad as most people made it out to be. It was in the shadow of itself with its built-up hype. It was a fairly flat cyberpunk shooter with some hacking mechanics. I paid 60 dollars for an overall generic experience. This DLC seems to be aiming to resolve the game and turn it into what the hype built it up to.
When they first started fixing Cyberpunk they said the first DLC was going to be free in exchange for their mess up and that it would fix a lot of the game. They didn’t seem to fix the game that much from a content perspective. One of the biggest arguments against this game at release was that even if it was technically well done, it was still a mediocre at best storyline with flat characters.
Hell, the “BFF” montage was so silly to me that I immediately knew that Jackie was going to die.
So now we have their first paid DLC and it’s half the price of the base game. While I understand it’s 60 dollars now, that basically tells me “I shouldn’t have bought it when it was shit.” This means the next CDPR game that releases, I probably am going to skip it entirely until their first real DLC because clearly, they don’t care about their on-release customers.
On one hand, Twitter lost 5% of its user base. It’s not a ton. On the other, it’s 15 million people give or take. That 5% is probably the sort I want to hang out with the most. Likewise for Reddit. 5% of Redditors are awesome and likely now Lemmy/KBin users. Those are the people I care about. It also allows for more quality connections when you have fewer people in your circle. Close connections are more valuable than more connections.
The fact they are running experiments on their users without opt-in is disgusting. In what world is that okay? Facebook also ran many psychological experiments on their users like shadow-banning them just to see if they felt more alone without telling people. It’s gross.
Windows 10 for my main desktop, Windows 11 on my laptop, and work desktop.
I love Linux, it’s a great OS but it has a lot of usability issues alongside corporations that won’t support it. GamePass and Visual Studio are the two major things I use on Windows that don’t have any ability to run on Linux.
Because I know people are going to ask, the usability issues on Linux have been:
Fedora Linux: Mouse settings didn’t work (sensitivity and acceleration), updating the OS bricked the boot because I had the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed and the update didn’t account for that.
Manjaro: Worked great but still had the same mouse issues where I couldn’t update sensitivity and setting the profile to “flat” to remove mouse acceleration didn’t actually remove mouse acceleration.
In General: I’ve found Linux to contain a level of jank that Windows just doesn’t have. It still needs a good bit of polish. Linus Tech Tips did a Linux Desktop trial for a week and documented a lot of unpolished bits.
I look forward to the day that Linux has become more polished.
You can see the break in the while true, the black switch on the extender.
