We’ve had one pandemic, yes, but what about second pandemic?

And is that huge 3D printer in the room with us now?

Don’t want to sound like I’m proselytising but do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?

He already had his payday. The suckers will be left holding the bag when it all inevitably goes south.

The solution is obviously to take away womens’ reproductive rights.

Maybe you should approach it with more realistic expectations? It does what it does really well but I guess you can’t please everyone.

But you’ve obviously never used one. Maybe you should try to see beyond your preconceived notions.

Yes you can. You can build a PC with a RX7600 CPU for about $600. That’s about in the same performance ballpark as a PS5. If you mass produce those and trim down some features, you’ll be able to hit $500. And you won’t have to pay the Microsoft tax. Sadly, this is also why it’s not happening. I’m 100% sure MS are furiously working behind the scenes to prevent anyone from coming out with a system like this.

Have you been living under a rock for the past three years? Have you heard of the Steam Deck?

I don’t mean to say that this is for everyone. But they sold a couple of million Steam Decks and I’d bet there’s a market for a couple of tens of millions of these boxes. And I’m not talking Windows here but Steam OS (or some derivative). That’s based on Linus but you’ll never notice unless you want to. For most people it’s just a store and a launcher. While maybe not quite as easy to use as a console, it’s certainly doable for the average gamer.

Yes, I’m aware of that. But the software just wasn’t there at the time. But now it definitely is.

What the world needs right now is Steam boxes. Just build a $500 PC, slap Steam OS on it and you’re done. The ecosystem is already there. I really don’t understand why nobody has done this.

It’s always projection with these people.

I once saw a video of soldiers in Ukraine using it to control some drones. Truly a versatile machine.

They’re not insane. They know exactly tm what they’re doing.

Quick! Release more endless rehashes of the same tired old franchises!

I don’t know much about US political geography but I’d venture a guess these are all run by the Democrats.

Any advice that is some variation of “if you only try hard enough you can achieve anything” is survivorship bias and just plain bullshit.

There’s a pretty good video about this by Not Just Bikes. Basically it says, the people who make these sort of decisions have a vested interest in more road construction because that pays their salary.
