The fuck does this brain rot even mean?
I used to live in a Northern Wisconsin town almost entirely comprised of tourism and snow birds for an economy from May to September. Most were people from Chicago and Milwaukee that moved “a little too fast” for someone who lived in the area, so they were easy to spot.
Once school started up, the place was an absolute ghost town. All of downtown completely shut down except one bar. The hotels either shuttered during the winter or operated a single floor of rooms. The population would drop by ~80%.
I loved living in The Great Northwoods of WI, as it’s absolutely gorgeous up there half the year, but I don’t miss standing at the bus stop when it’s -40F wind chills or shovelling out my car to drive somewhere.
Stargazing was incredible in the winter, though.


Why would a USB accessory need PoE?
Zigbee 4 support lacking in it is disappointing.


I know speculation is fun, but until we know the price officially, all of this is moot. Wait until next year when they announce actual pricing and judge it then for its value.
I, personally, don’t think it’ll be a successful product if it isn’t less than $800. They don’t have to have it cost console prices, but it does need to be at least somewhat within spitting distance. If the price is the cost of an Xbox or Playstation plus, say…a year of their online service subscription, I think that could be marketable.
If it’s closer to a grand, it’ll be a flop like the first Steam Machines.


I don’t understand the obsession with presenting the terminal as “the best way”. There are literally app stores on every Linux distro for normies to use. Installing LibreOffice from Flatpak in Discover is literally “Search” and “Click Install”.
For those of us who love using the terminal…sure…but that’s not most people.


I’ve literally never heard of someone “asking for” Cortana outside of the C-suite at Microsoft.


I had a Gen Z person ask me how I got a “3D printer save button” when I had a floppy disk for some reason.


You can tell we’re all old as fuck Millennials, because nobody else would make this joke. Lol.
Would anybody even notice if Google Cloud Platform imploded, since nobody uses it?


My Roborock is genuinely an important cleaning tool for keeping my messy house with three kids clean.


Don’t be surprised when one or both of them starts doing some shady shit to sabotage things if Valve starts eating a larger market share.


At least he doesn’t have to worry about it. God can’t inhabit his brain because both are non-existent.
I prefer Wayland over X11, but Cinnamon doesn’t support it yet as stable


Not really. You can choose to go somewhere else at any time. Even the Steam Deck is open to installing a different OS that doesn’t even include the Steam store.


Valve: Has reasonably priced games on sale frequently Makes the Steam Deck Actively supports Linux, both for VR and regular gaming Has the best customer service out of any competitor Has the best store experience out of any competitor
I mean…it’s not surprising that they’re a monopoly, but that doesn’t make them a bad one.


Yes but that is a third party solution to those platforms refusing to support Linux. Good on the people developing Heroic, but Steam has native support.


I suppose, but I’m skeptical of car manufacturer claims, too, until independent testing is done.
I hope this is real and think it’s awesome, but will wait to see if they exaggerated.


Until someone tests it independently, this should be considered BS.
Pretty sure us Mint enjoyers don’t give AF because our distro is for people who just want things to work.
