  For what it’s worth an NPU is why your phone could tell you that photo is of a cat years before LLMs were the hot new thing. They were originally marketed as accelerators for machine learning applications before everybody started calling that AI.

  This is absolutely untrue. Most people can see the 60hz strobe of the US electrical grid. This is why cheap night lights seem to flash.

  I’d rather play an ugly game with crappy art made by a human. I genuinely don’t understand this “but it isn’t pretty” mentality.

  I don’t have time to visit the hospital right now so why don’t you check it the separate Wikipedia articles yourself.

  I wasn’t being pedantic, It’s an important distinction. You don’t have to think so though, you don’t have to be rude about other people’s opinions.

  Not the Internet, the World Wide Web. But yes.

  Often yes, but not always.

  And, bonus HP douche.

  Nintendo tracked the UID to a different Switch in a completely different geographic location logged in with a different account tied to a different bank card and still bricked it. Even Windows licenses aren’t that much of an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Market research firm International Data Corporation estimated that between 3.7 and 4 million Steam Deck had been sold by the third anniversary of the device in February 2025.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s interesting what different companies consider success. Apple sold far more iPhone Minis in 3 years and yet the phone is considered to have no market.

  I wonder if other companies entering the handheld space, like Lenovo and Asus for instance, will see numbers like this and bail like they did last time they tried Steam Machines?
