120-140w. That’s with 5 hard drives spinning 24/7 and now a GPU I added in there to do mostly nothing. Would be 100-120 without it.

Every time I use screen I forget how it works. Doesn’t matter if it was an hour ago I forgot either how to detach, or how to reattach.

Even if there was an intake in the keyboard it wouldn’t dramatically affect anything. My P1 does partially intake through the keyboard and closing the lid has no appreciable performance impact. I only leave the lid open so the display doesn’t get baked by the i9 using 70+ watts.

Nah this is painful to use unless I have my arms almost fully extended. And I’m not even that big of a person.

Much like the OG controller, ergonomics are not valve’s forte.

People not reading more than the title of bad headlines.

32gb was the “no worries” amount of ram for a gaming system. Specifically running games AND other programs.

People read it as you need 32 gigs to do anything then got mad.

I’ve had quite the oposite experience. My PS4 controller never gave me any problems for the 6ish years I had it. But the OG steam controller is the only controller I’ve ever broken. I like to think I treat my stuff well because I’ve never had any issues besides stick drift on any controller I’ve ever owned. But in the limited time I used a steam controller I managed to break it twice. After the second time I just got rid of it.

Like 6 months ago I found one at a thrift store and it’s rough too. I should dig it out before the new one arrives.

Bomb proof is not how I’d describe the OG steam controller. Maybe a bomb? They were not built well.

But what they do have is fuck tons of vram which is very important for AI workloads.

Apple was one of the co developers of USB C.

The law doesn’t actually force USB C. It’s whatever the standard the USB IF says. So if USB D comes out and they say it’s the best then they’ll switch to that.

The CPU may not use too much power, but the chipset and all the supporting circuitry will. Supporting 4/8channel memory aint free. And RAM can use a ton of power too.

Not with TrueNAS, ZFS is a RAM hog. They suggest 8gb minimum, and you really don’t want the minimum AND adding more stuff on top. That said 16gb isn’t too painful.

If you want a NAS on the cheap my preference is just get any cheap “normal” PC, a case with a good amount of HDD bays. Move the drives into the PC, and you have all the expand ability you could dream of. You can find plenty of DDR4 machines for cheap now. Then as ram prices come down you can go up to 128gb of ram as long as your board has 4 slots.

Anything on craigslist/FB marketplace will work.

The steam deck is like a foot wide so the vertical grips are comfortable with that. The vertical grips of the controller that’s 5”(?) wide doesn’t seem as great.

Reviews are already out. At least reviewer reviews. The touchpads are slightly bigger.

They absolutely do. There’s nothing special about them vs normal distros. Hell rolling ones probably get new kernels more often and you can only live patch so much. Some updates just hard need a reboot to take effect.

And by 10:00.1 it will be sold out.

Does anyone know if it functions as a normal xinput controller on windows without using steam?

The Controller requires Steam or the Steam Link app. I tested it on GeForce Now via my iPhone and while it did connect over Bluetooth

That doesn’t bode well, but thats also on an iphone.

ECC DDR5 is usually pretty slow, and the “GPUs” are barely even G so they’re only really useful for computer. When that hardware gets retired it’s not gonna be useful for much of anything sadly.

The U.2 drives can be adapter to pcie at least. Can’t wait to scoop up a 20TB SSD for $200.

Shouldn’t the sims 4 be considered free to play? The base game is free, only the dlc is paid.
