can confirm.

balatro deck is fire.

I think we’re going to need to see a generational shift in compute before we see steam deck two. I have the original deck, and the OLED. Kicked down the original to a friend. Both are great pieces of kit. I’ve basically survived without a gaming machine for almost 4 years because of these devices. I’ve experienced almost 0 desegregation on either. Just phenomenal devices.

I’ve finally bit the bullet on a more serious machine (for both work and pleasure). I’ve got a Asus ROG Flow Z13 on back order, the 128gb variant. I think this is the direction things are going to go. We just can’t make CPU’s/ Video cards faster/ more efficient if we keep them separated.

My speculation: the next steam deck is going to take on this design, so long as the stryx halo generation proves itself. It might not be a “full force” variant like I’ve bought into, but the rub is the temperatures and power to performance relationship. The stryx halo design is the only thing I’ve seen that would warrant a generation refresh.

I mean apparently you do, considering you don’t know what you are asking. You are asking me to make a preposterously generous interpretation of your question, when you yourself can’t be bothered to even consider what might be a useful application of ml. Give _ me _ a _ break.

Go sort things on an abacus and get away from anything related to computation you Luddite.

I did not ask for charity

Charity is precisely what you are asking for.

I consider most (not all) ML illegitimate and pointless at the same time.

Myopia is a curable disease. Why should I bother treating someone so intentionally ignorant with the grace of charity?

Thanks for that correction.

96gb of VRAM? Even most ML professionals have never seen that much vram in their life.

Yeah finally watched the review. Weird, but also, this is actually a really exciting chip.

If you do any kind of work with ml, this might just about be your only option for breaking 16gb vram, which is the floor for many models. Very few of us ever even get to experiment with something above 40. With these, you could take it to 128, and it seems, at a pretty price competitive standpoint.

I’m looking at it pretty seriously, because I was really excited about these chips, but almost completely disinterested in them as far as a laptop chip. But for a desktop chip? I mean if its at 128gb vram, the fuck else can I ask for?

I’m also super interested in that 2:1. For mobile computing thats pretty much my go-to these days, is a thin and light 2:1 that I just use to get access to where-ever my compute is actually happening.

All answers should be given in mspaint

I mean, they haven’t been able to do that so far. Not even close.

Linux is already the superior OS for gaming and has been for a while. Windows represents a consistently degraded experience.

IF steam OS is ready for wide release by then, you’ll see massive adoption.

Its fine. Nvidia is introducing these new quick disconnects:

OLED and original. Both are fine.

Fight? There is no fight. The switch two will be another underwhelming cash grab only interesting to children and tasteless fanboys.

I dont like that they designed around the pebble, which doesn’t have onboard rechargable batteries.

The mxmini would have been a better design choice and is about the same size. Dead ass if they had something like this built with the USB C hub as part of the design, I’d be buying it right now. The biggest criticism I have of the steam deck is the case. It seems like they could have designed it to be a stand fairly easily.

I could see them buying ARM/ deepening the relationship with ARM. But Intel?

That just seems like at least double the cost.
