they don’t work because you can just uninstall them or turn them off
As someone who uses an app like this: no, you don’t do that. Because people are able to recognize that they downloaded the app to help themselves.
Just because there’s a workaround to the block doesn’t mean people are going to use it.
And quit being an ass. This person is just asking for help.
They were supposedly able to take a loss on the original Steam Decks, at least the lower priced 64GB models.
They. Did. Not.
The only thing remotely suggesting that is GabeN saying the price point was “painful” in a single interview.
Valve has stated that the Steam Decl wasn’t sold at a loss. GabeN was likely referring to the profit margins being very low, which is not the same as selling at a loss
Why the hell can’t this myth just die already?
The problem is that these are computers. If they’re too cheap, companies will buy them in bulk, slap windows on them, and use them for office PCs. And if they’re sold at a loss, that then turns into a huge loss
You don’t have to update all the parts at the same time. Sure, if your motherboard/cpu/ram fails you’ll likely need to replace all 3, but your current graphics card, PSU, case, etc should still be fine.
Plus, if you’re going from a 10 year old rig you could buy used DDR4 era parts on EBay or Facebook to save money and it’d still be an upgrade
They’ve already stated that they aren’t going to sell the hardware at a loss. This is because they want the hardware business to be sustainable.
Meanwhile Meta is selling their headsets at a steep loss because they’re making it back by selling all of your data that they collect with it.
You’re clearly intentionally arguing in bad faith if this is your response.
Ta ta, you’re not worth bothering with anymore. Go lie to someone else
what the fuck I’m talking about when it comes to AI
Keep telling yourself that dumbfuck. You’ll be one of the first to lose uour shirt when the bubble pops

Framework has done several shoutouts to Omarchy and DHH in official marketing material and is actively sponsoring HYPRLAND with money

To bring up the old nazi bar analogy - you don’t leave the bar to the nazis, you kick them out. But instead what is happening is completely bass-ackwards
Except they’re not kicking these assholes out. Framework are giving them free advertising and even sponsorship money.
Framework claims to be making a “big tent”, but if you do that you need to silently tolerate the shitty actors, not actively support them unprompted

Apparently Framework have been sponsoring some projects run by alt-right grifters lately fyi

The Zizians are a bunch of nutjobs whoe branched off the “Rationalist” movement.
What’s the Rationalist Movement? They’re a bunch of people that debate philosophy online, and were originally of the opinion that AI needed to be resisted at all cost. Then they literally talked themselves into believing that they need to do everything they could to bring about the creation of an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Aka, also nutjobs.
Also, go ahead and downvote me. I don’t care that I hurt some random AI bro’s feefees. They deserve it
I’m kinda surprised that him proposing that the US should throw Ukraine to the wolves (Russia) didn’t completely tank his career. In hindsight, for the past 20 years he’s kinda just turned into a tankie (or at least tankie-adjacent) due the the US’s misdeeds in Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
While the US has done wrong, that doesn’t automatically make its adversaries right.
This.
Cramming AI into people’s lives by default has always been a shitty decision
Or Christmas, where we cut down trees to set up inside and decorate to celebrate said man-god’s birth, except the date is nowhere near his actual birthday
Americans will use any unit besides the metric system /s
In fact, Valve reports that the Steam Machine is “six times as powerful” as the Steam Deck, and while this is mostly marketing speak (“power” is a vague and complex concept in gaming tech, and isn’t a linear spectrum), it’s not unfounded.
The Steam machine APU can perform 6x more operations per second than the Steam Deck APU.
This isn’t vague, nor complex. The reasons why the Steam Machine APU is more capable is complex, but the results are not.
Quit making mountains out of molehills
Note that I said “the vast majority”, not “all”
Jesus, you’re an insufferable asshole. And one that has no idea what they’re talking about at that.
Look up the Dunning-Krueger Effect. That’s literally your post history, particularly here
