Some of the points in the meme are weaker versions of the full truth:
Desktop OS and you can substitute your own.
Biggest game library and you can also side load your stuff from other stores.

Oh yeah, or like an adapter to use Joycons with a phone might also be kinda similar?
The fact that the OS is replaceable sealed the deal for me. Then the marketing page is claiming they will make parts available for DIY repairs? Incredible.
If I am being honest, I prefer the Switch form factor with the dumb little controllers. I like it so much that I could maybe accept its lesser performance. But it is locked down, centralized store, some subscription bullshit…
I’ve found a Steam Deck fits really comfortably in the hands. I can settle for having an additional wireless controller to play it from afar.
Oh, go figure. I thought a Steam Deck was a handheld device running off of a battery. Yeah, if you’ve got a desktop computer with a high-wattage GPU you’d expect better performance on the latest AAA graphics, huh? Weird. Cannot possibly be worthwhile to own, I guess.
The USB-C power is huge. I don’t know why it is so hard to find. I do not want another massive power brick and barrel connector.
There must be some sort of first-week spike they expected to see?
You’ll be saving lives, yeah, but between dealing with entitled assholes that won’t follow directions and then yell at you because they didn’t.
It’s maybe easy to burn out in any career. Society has deprioritized individual fulfillment for most of us because it harms the nesting levels of billionaires’ yachts.
I would use Gitlab only in an airgapped network. Password resets sent to attacker-supplied emails is such a complete failure of a security model it seems like it is only a matter of time until the next critical vulnerability.
Is there a good alternative? I used to buy exclusively Newegg. It used to be so easy to put together a computer having a trusted source.
I hope there is a consequence.
That’s insane. How can they be doing security hardware and leave a timing attack in there?
Thank you for those links, really interesting stuff.
Do you have an article on that handy? I like reading about side channel and timing attacks.
What would you get nowadays looking at that 5 year mark?
Yes, it is. If people are relying on files to be encrypted they may dispose of their disks differently. Or the NAS might be stolen.
Yeah OpenWRT is incredibly slim. I remember doing a double-take looking at their install page because the memory requirements are so low. I’m used to seeing numbers in GB and they’re saying they can provide full functionality in 64 MB.
No onboard eMMC? Are you able to run this from a read-only SD? That’s kinda intriguing, I figure eMMC could be one of the weakest links on an SBC.
Yeah, I think it’s an unusual case, but I wanted to bring it up to support your point about rejecting their kernel and distro. You can put Incus on a lot of different systems. Don’t like systemd? Put it on Void. Want a declarative setup? NixOS. Minimalist? Alpine.
Do I want to maintain a full operating system just to run this one type of software? No, that’s absurd. I want to choose the distro I want to work with and then have the software work on top of it.
I think I was on a previous account the last time I saw you, glad to see you’re still posting. You convinced me to move from Proxmox to Incus a while back. Sure, I had some growing pains, but it’s pretty smooth now.
I like that I can switch out my distros underneath Incus instead of being stuck on one weird kernel. IME you were absolutely right about that. I’m getting into atomic distros to manage homelab machines. I would not be able to do that on Proxmox.
I also don’t need to edit a giant Javascript file to remove a nag about enterprise software repos, which is nice.
Oh neat, I was actually planning to set that up to store scripts and some projects I’m working on, I’ll give the tickets a try then.
I have saved a lot of money by scrolling down and seeing “Denuvo.”
