I never would have guessed anywhere near 400k, that’s wild!

No tangible difference.

I’m gonna call it: apathy

Ha, that’s an old comment. I did end up playing the game and yes, it runs very well.

A write-off is just a bookkeeping manouver that means

No. A write-off is nothing more than a company expense. It’s a deduction from their income.

🔥 Everything is fine 🔥

The top bar shows you:

1. Date and time
2. What workspace you’re in
3. What apps you’re actively running
4. Internet connection
5. If Caffeine is running

These are all important information to have at a glance, in my opinion. If you don’t think so, you can remove it. Simple as.

Cloudlfare down. tl;Dr?

I use it as well with automation and can confirm. Unfortunately with Simple fun you do have to manually sync accounts but it’s a small price to pay. Just have to remember to hit the sync button when you open the dashboard.

Nowhere is safe from AI spam. At least these ones are obvious. Written spam is far easier to generate.

We’re going to need another project like SponsorBlock and Dearrow for labeling AI spam…

I had one ordered before but the more you look at the specific language this guy uses, the more clear it becomes that he was not in it for anyone but himself. The community exists to finance his pet project.

Articles are incentivized to elaborate beyond what is even remotely necessary, link back to no one but themselves themselves, repeatedly, and to serve ads and extract personal information for sale while they’re doing it.

So you’ll have to excuse some of us looking for the tl;dr

I’ve got an old Mac I’ve managed to get running Sequoia but due to Apple dropping support for Intel, it’s running on borrowed time.

Hard disagree. I think that’s exactly who they’re going after. That’s why they added all the console features like CEC, wake on BT, background updates, and a controller-first interface.

I think that’s pretty clearly who they’ve been targeting for >10 years with SteamOS.

How does community-run servers prevent them from writing off their losses?

Heroic doesn’t have controller support. It also doesn’t have all the menus.

You can already run Steam games on Android, using the same protocol as Valve (FEx) with an app called GameNative.

Hmm. It seems you’re actually correct on that one. Although I think they might have a hard time arguing that it’s “just a PC” when it launches straight into a dedicated gaming environment on boot.

What you’re saying doesn’t contradict that on Steam Machine you’re going to buy games from Valve only so it doesn’t matter that you can, in theory, buy from somewhere else.

What you’re saying is just false. This is not a theory. I’ve owned a “Steam machine” for several years and regularly acquire and play games from other stores. Whether you buy games from Valve is entirely up to you.

The bigger your library grows, the less likely you are to start buying games in another ecosystem.

No. That makes zero sense.

Valve doesn’t care if you „jailbreak”

There is no jailbreaking. There’s nothing to break. The system already allows you to do whatever you want. Just go into the menu and select “exit to desktop”.

they can get around tariffs by selling this console as a PC.

Why would you think PCs aren’t impacted by tariffs?
