I’d advocate for getting one. Last year 70% of my gaming was on the deck, it really has shifted my attitude towards gaming.

Lamenting the raising of prices is absolutely fair, but every industry goes through this. I cycle a lot, and there’s a strong base of people that are deeply upset at the cost of the bikes the pros are using. It used to be that almost anyone could buy the model bike that won the Tour de France, where they’d go for £1,200-1,500, full spec and all. Now Pogačar’s Colnago V4Rs cost $8,215 for the base model, likely closer to $12,000 for a fully spec’d version. I just think that this is happening everywhere as things get more and more optimized. You have to dig deeper and deeper to eek out those gains.

Think of the sheer amount of time, effort, and hardware that goes into AI features and such. Upscaling and frame generation need a lot of data to be processed to make it viable, and the cost of the cards will have to offset this research cost.

The only thing that maybe leans towards it being somewhat greed driven was the audio edits they made in their presentation, but again, I still just don’t think that’s enough to say “this is greed” or not. Is selling at a profit at all “greedy”?

I can’t find anything about the cost for them to produce each unit, ya got some inside info you wanna share?

I’ve wondered this for a while, is a car dependant society creating a general senae of selfishness?

Like if you walk everywhere, I feel your behaviour will be rounded out via interactions with others, but in a car you’re removed from setting the human effect your actions have, it allows you to detach your humanity because it happens outside your cage, you’re only concerned for what’s happening inside thr cage.

Not everyone obviously, cycling around the overwhelming majority of drivers are all good, but as a general trend I do wonder

They’re Large Language Models. They’re defined as generative pre-trained text transformers, that’s their entire purpose.

Saying the calculator spits out random numbers would be wrong, but saying a calculator spits out numbers, that would be correct. Reductionist would probably be a better word than regressive or asinine.

But it’s accurate? Doesn’t mean that human looking text can’t be helpful to some, but it’ll also help keep us grounded to the reality of the tech.

I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.

Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea

Oh! This is just the year in review thing, not your steam gameplay recordings. I don’t want my family members to hear me demolishing a burger while I watch my factory grow

I don’t know the details but this feels like such a specific attack vector. Most malware targets the easiest and most common payload delivery mechanism as possible. Having someone connected via hotspot and piggybacking ontop of a specific workflow such as Shizuku just seems super unlikely. Could absolutely be wrong about this though, just my gut feel

I bought the original r4 just after release in 2013 and it’s still going. I’ve been wanting a new case but I just can’t justify it as this one’s still in great shape despite having had 4 builds run through it, handfuls of hard drives and it being used to test friends failing hardware.

Built a friends first PC with them a few months ago and used the define 7, its the same but with some nice minor tweaks to make building even easier.
