Don’t want to sound like I’m proselytising but do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Mostly harmless

Is my phone charger spying on me?
He already had his payday. The suckers will be left holding the bag when it all inevitably goes south.
Maybe you should approach it with more realistic expectations? It does what it does really well but I guess you can’t please everyone.
Edit: Oh and I just checked: they go for pretty high prices on eBay. So if it’s so terrible, you can just get rid of it.
But you’ve obviously never used one. Maybe you should try to see beyond your preconceived notions.
Yes you can. You can build a PC with a RX7600 CPU for about $600. That’s about in the same performance ballpark as a PS5. If you mass produce those and trim down some features, you’ll be able to hit $500. And you won’t have to pay the Microsoft tax. Sadly, this is also why it’s not happening. I’m 100% sure MS are furiously working behind the scenes to prevent anyone from coming out with a system like this.
Have you been living under a rock for the past three years? Have you heard of the Steam Deck?
I don’t mean to say that this is for everyone. But they sold a couple of million Steam Decks and I’d bet there’s a market for a couple of tens of millions of these boxes. And I’m not talking Windows here but Steam OS (or some derivative). That’s based on Linux but you’ll never notice unless you want to. For most people it’s just a store and a launcher. While maybe not quite as easy to use as a console, it’s certainly doable for the average gamer.
Yes, I’m aware of that. But the software just wasn’t there at the time. But now it definitely is.
What the world needs right now is Steam boxes. Just build a $500 PC, slap Steam OS on it and you’re done. The ecosystem is already there. I really don’t understand why nobody has done this.
I always have to check whether these kinds of headlines are about Rust the game or Rust the programming language.
I once saw a video of soldiers in Ukraine using it to control some drones. Truly a versatile machine.
They should really include that as standard.
There are a lot of mini PCs these days that use laptop parts. But these are pretty much pre built and all you can change is RAM and storage. Building a pc from laptop parts doesn’t really make sense, though, unless you want to hack something together from used parts.
Quick! Release more endless rehashes of the same tired old franchises!
When Steam Deck verified?
Sounds cool. Let’s hope they actually make it to market and the thing doesn’t suck. The more traction gaming on Linux gets, the better.
Pah! I can fail at my job much faster than any goshdarn AI!
Dude I’ll find out where you live and come over to mildly inconvenience you! Just you watch out!
And is that huge 3D printer in the room with us now?
