I think a lot of enthusiasts miss out on this point. Its trivial for me to install a Linux distro or custom windows software that's fully managed my controller input but my buddies that have PlayStation s would panic if they encountered a bios screen or a config file.

There's a market for steam machines but they need to be basically a steam deck with a power supply, an HDMI output and a controller or it will be a non-starter for most people.

Woohoo! Pop Shop is one of the most irritating apps to deal with because of sluggish performance. Glad to see a lot of work is going into its replacement.

Whew! Add in someone from Raytheon and Elon Musk and we have ourselves a real-life Legion of Doom.

Another casualty of the Warner/Discovery clusterfire it seems.

Not that Rooster Teeth were bastions of well-run businesses but still. If you have a favorite Warner or Discovery movie or show better get the DVD before its too late.

Well as long as we are joking about Tegra powered devices...

That was absolutely their plan all along.

If they wanted to do time-based discounts, they could just blast a 10% off coupon to every app user in a specific geographic area.

Plus they get the bonus of user data when people sign up for the app that they can ~~sell to the government~~ leverage for non-industry profit streams.

True disgusting profiteering.

Failing to properly evacuate the city during a Tsunami because its easier just to clean up afterwards (Cities Skylines).

I was genuinely convinced they offered 10gig service in some markets. Doesn't surprise me that its all marketing nonsense.

Just a tip for anyone who wants to know, if you have Comcast business internet they'll tell you you have to use their modem but, you can swap it out with a 3rd patty modem and use the live chat service to get it activated. Then you can send back their modem for free at a ups store. Every salesperson will tell you its not possible but it absolutely is.

I can't wait. As long as they keep the autotiling feature working as well as it does now I'm down.

I didn't realize it was that recent of an addition to the NEC. Weve only lived in super old houses where everything was always needing completely redone. I was usually replacing 2 conductor and cloth-jacketed stuff everywhere.

That was around 2012 and I remember the electrician we hired at the time mentioned it being a thing so that makes sense.

This is pretty much my setup anyway. I run Pop Shell on top of Fedora and add dash to dock.

I'm just absolutely hooked on the autotiling built into pop shell.

If its an official spin all the better.
