Not that I want to give dbrand any credit but this also seems like a stupid move for Valve.

Why didn’t they just offer a license agreement if dbrand was willing to accept?

Seems like a missed opportunity which the steam machine desperately needs right now.

Even dumber, you’ll probably be able to find this on ali express or temu in a couple of weeks after some chinese brands make knockoffs anyway.

Unless they already had some poor history with dbrand, seems kind of off character for Valve.

Supersized Form Factor

If you want something that fits the SFF cube shape so you can throw it next to a TV or desk for video output, you can probably go for the SYS-A22GA-NBRT.

Easy to upgrade CPU & RAM later down the line if you start doing more stuff with it, plus space for dedicated GPU if you ever want to do heavy media server stuff.

Would avoid pi due to the underperformance for the price. Plus best bang for buck usable storage will always be HDDs. SD cards are nice but you have to disable journaling to keep the writes low as to not wear down usable blocks.

Yes, example: https://hub.docker.com/r/dyonr/qbittorrentvpn

tbh I would just combo a compose with a seperate qbittorrent and vpn container on the same pod.

That way you can set proper iptable rules if needed and perma bind qbittorrent to the vpn interface.

Comments section validating my hatred for France.

India runs the ICC like FIFA runs the world cup.

They make bank off of corrupt practices and matchmaking fixes that ultimately harms the sport and de-incentivizes other countries to participate.

That doesn’t mean they lack talent, they just don’t care because they don’t want to spend the effort of building a team if it can’t make immediate money.

Pakistan also infamously never developed its football team due to high popularity of field hockey and cricket, and now they don’t bother because they can’t make easy money out of it.

Despite the low popularity, it is possible for them to form a quality team but no one wants to take the risk.

6. War Thunder is objectively crappy for every nationality unless you’re a rich russian whale who eats stalinium for breakfast

They will its just that they currently have enough volume to prevent it from shooting up so high in the short term.

Bigger OEMs will also save a lot of cost in other areas so it will never reach the price of the steam machine, but it’s definitely gonna keep going up.

Yeah i meant consoles and console disk rips lol.

Don’t know what they’re doing these days exactly but I think for PS4 era they were still doing IO on the disk for game data reads. But that was around when SSDs started becoming cheaper, so one of the upgrade paths was digital release + SSD.

Who cares? It’s a phone.

Said like a true iphone user for the past 19 years of the shitty iOS experience >:D

damn I miss the mile long sledge threads of XDA

I only care because of the flip device support, not because of GrapheneOS’s specific, albeit useful, out of box security features.

Otherwise I would have rolled with any decent 3rd party ROM like LineageOS years ago and opted to harden my phone manually.

And I’m too lazy to go Android spelunking to add support for my current device because its already reaching EoL in a year and the hardware is a bit dated.

iPhone and Pixel users:

zflip 4, looking to upgrade to razr after they release GrapheneOS support.

Not that it’s a bad thing, but did anyone ever offer something like Bazzite before?

OEMs were waiting for SteamOS because it shifts the OS support to Valve instead of DIY, but I wonder if anyone tried before SteamOS was ready.

We already have the second and the first is based on the idea that qbits can be stabilized enough to actually accomplish any of the algorithms that would make quantum computers useful.

In 2001, Shor’s algorithm was demonstrated by a group at IBM, who factored 15  into 3 × 5 , using an NMR implementation of a quantum computer with seven qubits.[10] After IBM’s implementation, two independent groups implemented Shor’s algorithm using photonic qubits, emphasizing that multi-qubit entanglement was observed when running Shor’s algorithm circuits.[11][12] In 2012, the factorization of 15  was performed with solid-state qubits.[13] Later, in 2012, the factorization of 21  was achieved.[14] In 2016, the factorization of 15  was performed again using trapped-ion qubits.[15] However, none of these demonstrations fulfill the requirements of Shor’s algorithm: they compile the circuit using prior knowledge of the solution, and some have even oversimplified the algorithm in a way that makes it equivalent to coin flipping.[16]

Unless the US MIC has evidence that Quantum computing is reaching viability, this is just them hedging their bets in case some research actually leads to something, which means it’s currently just a pre-emptive hype train.

tbf bluray is the medium so it loads immediately instead of downloading first.

Although considering the max cap is 144 Mbps, I wonder if that’s actually too slow for modern games that rely on SSD speeds lol.

They have sketchy marketing that over promises the idea of privacy without actually providing it and my personal user experience with it was pretty ass.

I don’t care too much of them as a product, but when they pretend to care about privacy laws and such, it really bothers me because their actions clearly show that they don’t.

Their stupid “muh swiss laws” cop out for everytime they hand over data is especially infuriating because of the many other Swiss based services that did or do not follow such a method of operation.

PirateBay offered more security than these guys and it took the US Government threatning Switzerland before they eventually seized their servers in 2006. It was unsuccessful and the website was back up after 3 days. Even after the court trial against the founders, they continue to run it to this day.

Ah the 90s

When we had the Bosnian genocide happen at the same time as the Rwandan genocide and Clinton was busy blowing bubbles in office instead of undoing the now permanent damage Reagan and Bush caused.

I really wished I saved the thread but there was a great post on Reddit back in the day of a sysadmin that successfully move his entire company to OpenSUSE

I fond it lol: https://web.archive.org/web/20220128145708/https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/sesmwr/finished_a_full_corporate_migration_from_windows/

I’m more annoyed that general media is giving them free marketing just because it was a name brand over a decade ago without bothering to contemplate the fact that it was over a decade ago.

For a videogame franchise, that’s a massive amount of time for so many factors to change. It would be like if they gave that horrible ghostbusters reboot full media credit just because it has the name “ghostbusters”, so surely it must be a massive release worthy of everyone’s attention.

The irony in all of this is that GTA6 is going to fall victim to the “GTA clone” concept that so many other games fell into. It will have none of what made GTA a massive hit and instead have all the stuff GTA clones tried to “copy” in a poor attempt to be a massive hit.

Rockstar is just cashing in on a decade’s worth of hype and anticipation knowing full well that they’ll earn a crap ton of money just like every other half assed AAA release this era. They’re protected from initial skepticism because they haven’t released anything substantial ever since RDR2, so there’s literally nothing to critique them for. They can even wave off the lazy GTA remastered collections as outsourced material that has nothing to do with them.

I just hope the userbase doesn’t continue to ride the train after the release because it just makes developer expectations worse for everyone else. Crowbcat is still highly unpopular due to his RE4 remake videos, despite the fact that what he presented is nothing uncommon among other games in the industry that have gotten much more criticism for botching the source material.
