I did no such thing and you know I didn’t.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 2 hours ago:
I use Proton because they are no longer a “VPN company”. They are slowly rolling out a suite of privacy tools that compete with Google’s Workspace (or whatever the hell they’re calling it these days).
If you want a “VPN company” I would recommend Mullvad.

Why are we linking to articles with no sources rather than just the horse’s mouth?

I haven’t provided any arguments because this isn’t an argument, it’s a discussion. I haven’t made an affirmative position either way, at any time. I’m just asking questions and learning. Sorry if that offends you.
- Comment on Steam Deck lead reveals Valve is funding ARM compatibility of Windows games “to expand PC gaming” and release “ultraportables” in the future 12 hours ago:
ARM is generally notorious for being power efficient but not necessarily. Won’t mean shit if your software isn’t properly optimized.
Linux on ARM is generally much more efficient than x86, yes. But also often much less powerful. Apple seems to be the only one who has cracked this code thus far to unlock high power and also incredible efficiency.

I’m not dying on anything, I’m just having a discussion. It’s what I come here to do. If you don’t want to discuss it, that’s fine, but the name calling is unnecessary.

Who said it had to be used by itself?

The whole point of FEX is running x86 applications on ARM. Much like WINE, it won’t be limited to games.
Valve phone? Nah. I’ll be surprised if you’re not able to run x86 Windows games using the Steam Android app though. You already can with GameNative and GameHub anyway.

You cant hide the activity but you can hide the contributors and/or the funding.

Sure, and there’s more that goes into telling if someone is unhealthy than just looking at their blood oxygen levels or heart rate or arrhythmia, but these are still valuable indicators that we already track and look for symptoms pointing to a potential issue.

this company can’t provide the professional analysis you just commented.
And why not?
- Comment on Kohler Can Access Data and Pictures from Toilet Camera It Describes as “End-to-End Encrypted” 1 day ago:
is not going to give you any information that you can’t derive by simply looking at the feces yourself
Yes and you don’t have to hire a plumber to fix your sink if you’re a plumber.
The point is:
1. Professional analysis
2. (more importantly) Automated logging (no pun intended), potentially for human medical review periodically, or at a later date. - Comment on Kohler Can Access Data and Pictures from Toilet Camera It Describes as “End-to-End Encrypted” 1 day ago:
You’re telling me there’s zero valuable information in photos of feces? What about this?
- Comment on Kohler Can Access Data and Pictures from Toilet Camera It Describes as “End-to-End Encrypted” 1 day ago:
I mean, there is a legitimate benefit here. The camera can analyze your feces for health issues. And most people aren’t smart enough to set up their own server so they host one for you. And the AI analysis would cost a lot more to be processed locally.
And personally, I would not be terribly concerned about photos of my poo going into a database.
Not saying you should buy one of these but it definitely can provide value, especially if you have intestinal issues.

Yep. It’s okay. I’ll get one again soon. Temporary financial issue.

Unfortunately I had to sell my Deck this week :(

I’m shocked!
Very cool that they’re open sourcing the app, though.
- Comment on Probability that the next steam deck is arm based? 4 days ago:
Probably not with the next generation though.
I think you’re overestimating how soon we’ll see the next generation.
If you’ve used something like GameNative you know the vast majority of the library works already, today.
- Comment on Probability that the next steam deck is arm based? 4 days ago:
Unlikely that they would produce their own hardware but very likely they use something similar to X1 Elite, I think.

Nope.
- Comment on LTT Guesses price, 699USD, eats whole cake if hes 60USD off 6 days ago:
It’s so terrible that one of his employees volunteered to throw themselves on the proverbial grenade and help him eat the cake.
- Comment on LTT Guesses price, 699USD, eats whole cake if hes 60USD off 6 days ago:
I’m so tired of the thousand videos and articles speculating on price.
- Comment on Why have so many people stopped posting on social media? 1 week ago:
I started using social media to connect with friends and family, old and new, and to interact with the humans in my local community.
But those people are buried under a pile of ads, scams, and “suggestions” about shit I don’t care about.
Not to mention the absolutely wild privacy violations on an ongoing and increasingly dystopian basis.

- Comment on Predicting Steam Machine prices would be a lot easier if RAM costs hadn't gone horribly wrong 1 week ago:
You talking about the AI that caused the price increase, or the one that wrote this completely pointless article?
- Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console 1 week ago:
Nintendo had a similar implementation and I don’t recall mass scalping of those devices either. Obviously anyone could purchase a single one and scalp it but that doesn’t create a mass shortage.
- Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console 1 week ago:
I don’t remember hearing anything about Deck scalpers
- Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console 1 week ago:
The difference here is you can only buy them directly from Valve, they’ll probably have some sort of limit, and you’ll probably need an account to be a certain age, at least in the early days.
- Comment on I’ve already been using a “Steam Machine” for months, and I think it’s great 1 week ago:
I know what the specs are. You seem intent on ignoring the package as a whole. You can buy a CPU and a GPU. You cannot buy the motherboard or the case or the coolers or the power supply. If you buy them piecemeal, off the shelf, it will be significantly larger and louder because the package is simply not optimized that way. What don’t you get about this?
