Those damn POPUS! I hate them!

There’s going to be a cooking minigame and you can choose between 75 kinds of cheese.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

How much did you end up paying? Did you have to pay tax, customs fees etc? $200 sounds almost too good to be true. Do you run Linux on it? Any driver issues? I’m looking for a replacement for my NAS right now. On paper this one looks pretty good.

I’d go with a corporate hand me down just for sustainability. Those tend to be in decent shape and can be had for reasonable prices. Buying second hand is always a bit of a lottery but so is buying chinesium.

People generally recommend 8th gen or higher Intel chips for transcoding so I’d look at alternatives. I have a Dell with an 8th gen i5 and that works very well.

There are plenty of people who will be happy to get one for $300. When I was young, that would have been serious money for me.

I do think it’s about time for a successor. But that didn’t mean the current Steam deck isn’t viable any more. There are still thousands of games it will happily play. And the others can probably be made to run with some TLC from the developers.

Cool. Then, during the next boom they’ll hire just anybody which leads to shittier games, which leads to another bust, and so on.

Let’s set up a steering committee to develop guidelines for an approval process for allocating funds to the creativity enhancement subcommittee.

There’s been a lot of positive buzz about Bazzite.

What distros did you try?

I have a Linux PC with Jellyfin hooked up to the TV but i find it awkward to use with a keyboard and trackpad while lying on the couch. It would be great to have a remote like the Chromecast one but I’m not sure if anything like that is available that would work with JF.

They’re going to run out of industries to fuck up soon.

I’ve never heard of that. Do you have a source on that? And how would it run like shit if you’re using something like a Chromecast?

The simple trick to turn a “smart” TV into a regular one is too cut off its internet access.

I’m sure that’s coming up.

Yeah that’s called having a YouTube channel. You try to make content that people want to watch. How very nefarious.

That’s easily fixed.
