I wonder if this just means the supply was really low.

Considering the current ebay pricing, it doesn’t really make sense for any scalper to buy it unless they think it will become some weird coveted collectors item.

Either way rip steam machine. I hope they continue to fund Proton and Lepton because it really made a massive impact for gaming on Linux.

forever game

TeamFortress 2 lol

Oh I think I get it.

You want a USB 3.0 hub that has only USB 2.0 ports for the peripherals so that all the bandwidth is used for HDMI and not the peripherals.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure USB 3.x never supported 4k at 120hz with HDMI. Only thunderbolt could achieve this nativley.

There is a way with DP alt mode which worked using some bonus display port protocol magic which is why the suggestion is to use a DP to HDMI adapter.

Actually I’m pretty sure even DP requires at least 3.2 but I would need to check.

HDMI 4k @120Hz was added in USB 4.0 which won’t work if your phone is only 3.x.

You need a hub that supports DP alt mode so that it won’t downgrade the output: https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/1dahjah/psa_usbc_bus_powered_dock_with_dp_14_alt_mode/

I think yout phone needs to support it too though, otherwise it won’t work.

I can’t find it now but there’s a reddit thread of someone who fried his Volta era enterprise GPU because dell shipped him the wrong cable that was incorrectly labeled as a Dell riser cable and not EPS (12v pins are flipped), so it burnt a hole though the card lol.

USB 2.0 supports the bandwidth of a 4k 144Hz HDMI signal lol?

The two greatest problems in handheld assistants is speech recognition and command integration.

Gemini solves neither of those, and I was already complaining about Google’s crappy assistant long before the LLM era lol.

I could be wrong, but why hasn’t someone just bothered gluing openai whisper to something like voice attack from elite dangerous?

It’s been downloaded over 20 billion times. It supports 25+ protocols. It’s in cars, refrigerators, TV sets, routers, printers, phones, and every goddamn server on the planet.

Everything except my random podman container I need to test something on, but for some reason will have wget lmao.

Also a good time to mention you can use Ctrl+x Ctrl+e to edit your multi line commands in your default terminal editor so you can keep a clean, line separated command which is easy to read and follow.

I wonder how long they can keep the circus running though. They were obviously trying to vendor lock enterprise size businesses in before they eventually nuke the cost model, and Deepseek just preemptively slashed their cloud pricing probably knowing that everyone else will just migrate or even run on older cloud hardware which providers can sell by watt (and demand).

China might be behind on hardware, but their biggest wrench in the gears will probably just be popularizing their published LLMs which don’t require multiple nuclear powerplants to run lol.

Domain for $8 a year and 300Mbps fiber for $45 a month which snake ass AT&T keeps increasing in 5 dollar increments, so thank you for reminding me to call Spectrum for a quote so I can then call AT&T and harass them into giving me the correct price for another year.

Linus Torvalds: Nvidia, Fuck You!

We fixed the “glitch”

I guess Steam Machine is basically DOA unless they delay for another solid year and a half in hopes the AI bubble pops and the production recovers before their AMD spec becomes dated.

I actually used to hate it back in the day because it was so overused but then when I hit the Skype era, I succumbed to my friends and started spamming it along with lmao because it was easy to type on a keyboard with zero effort.

Also that one evolution extinction meme of all the dead ones like rofl and roflmao.

Rest in Spaghetti Never Forgetti lol

Lol their papaya salad is the same, just a mountain of peppers mixed in with raw papaya. Tasted awesome haha.

I remember feeling extra powerful when Moonshell for the DS shipped with UTF-8 and UTF-16 support because the developer was japenese and wanted to make sure any language would work.

It was high for the era, not anymore compared to current meme breeds though lol. Relatively though it still is quite strong. I’d probably say it’s the 2nd or 3rd hottest pepper used fresh and not dried for powder.

tbf Thais like to use bucketfulls of it which adds up compared to their western neighbors who use the slightly less potent early harvested green and in lower quantitities.

Also for some reason, a lot of sources erroneously put it super under Habenro peppers which I can tell you first hand is not true. They can easily hit 400k on the scoville scale, but there’s too many similar varieties which are much less potent but still get labelled as Thai chillies because of the shape.

The funny thing about South Asia is that they had like 200 unique spices already but they didn’t get capsaicin spices (peppers) until the portuguese brought it from the Americas via trade, and then South Asians immediately slurped it up and bred a ton of varieties as if the 200 wasn’t enough.

And they went max power too which is how we got Thai bird eye chillis lol.

In a way it has actually.

Deepseek was big because not only did they publish the full model for everyone to use, but the MoE structure significantly brought down the hardware requirements in terms of processing power. As long as you have enough VRAM, you can run it on older hardware with no need for the latest Nvidia stuff.

Now they got v4 which many have found to be within a 10% margin of Claude and ChatGPT.

On top of that, China has cheapo VRAM GPUs available or soon to be released, like the MTT S80. Yeah it sucks as a Graphics card because the chip is behind, but you get 16Gb of GDDR6 for much cheaper than anything else.

But its not a conspiracy to fight China. The infinite scaling was just Nvidia solidifying themselves as the monopoly because they want all AI infrastructure to be dependent on them, which is why they still illegally export to China, despite an export ban attempting to reduce their potential competition.

Moore Threads (MTT) already has their own CUDA like system called MUSA, and I’m sure they’ll be happy to put in proper hardware support for new stuff like Bf16 and FP8/4. It’ll take a few years, but eventually China will catch up to the point where Nvidia gets shanked by cheaper hardware.

Lol please. America already gutted its entire industrial base to the point where there’s a permanent shortage of blue collar jobs, and most people are working crappy wages in a service role for whichever megacorp owns the entire market.

AI could take over tomorrow and there wouldn’t be enough people to care, despite getting utterly screwed over.

It might only get ugly if purchasing power collapses and causes solvency. Otherwise it’ll just continue to degrade into an infinite debt economy which is basically just generational slavery like a significant portion of exploited labor and human trafficking already is.

Don’t worry though, there’s a million other problems that’ll probably pop the bubble first anyway lol.

The scale is backwards lol.
