I see lots of “alternative steam machines” going around, but none of them have HDMI CeC, which is the killer feature of the steam machine for me.

Hooking up a small form factor to a TV is simple.

Having it wake from sleep with a wireless computer, which in turns turn on the TV and switch to the correct HDMI input just like a console is the real value proposition to me, and none of those really offer it, as off the shelf GPU don’t support CeC.

That’s why they put velcro on shoes: big money wants to keep this one weird trick to themselves!

I personally use Calibre+Calibre-web.

It’s configured as a proxy for the Kobo store, the default store for my e-reader.

That means that when I click the sync button on my Kobo, it downloads anything hosted on my calibre-web server, while still keeping the ability to browse the Kobo store.

And then, inevitably:

Wouldn’t it just get forked?

Sure, once it happens they can add more features, but there’s already proton forks today that are recommended for some games, such as https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

Sure, the company is for profit, but I don’t really see a mechanism where a rugpull is possible here.

I manage instances of both mongo and postgres at work.

I’ll say Mongo OpsManager is pretty sweet, and HA is way easier on Mongo.

Just this last month I played “Final Profit - A Shop RPG”: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/Final_Profit_A_Shop_RPG/

An RPG Maker game with no combat, quite a lot of story that’s honnestly not bad and more custom systems than I expected RPG Maker being able to handle.

My understanding is that it was made by a single guy, which for the size of the game is fairly impressive.

You play as the Queen of the Elves trying to fight the embodiment of capitalism by becoming the very best capitalist. I believe there’s some branching to the story, but I only did one playthrough, which took about 20 hours.

For linux only, lan only shared drive NFS is probably the easiest you’ll get, it’s made for that usecase.

If you want more of a dropbox/onedrive/google drive experience, Syncthing is really cool too, but that’s a whole other architecture qhere you have an actual copy on all machines.

You are totally right, I tend to forget most people often don’t know the difference!

Im curious, did you watch the video?

This specific case does seem to be using AI as opposed to classical algorithms and did see an incredible boost in efficiency.

I mean, tech is tech: how we use it is the defining factor.

AI as a whole can have positive impacts: the incredible leaps from the medical field in protein folding being a good example: https://youtu.be/P_fHJIYENdI

Been a while I didn’t watch one of his videos, but I remember some US military stuff on there and I thought it was an interesting view from someone I think is smart but clearly doesn’t share my political leanings.

Trying to not be in an echo chamber and all.

Important to note that I don’t live in the US.

If you like roguelites ember knights is awesome as a group of 4

Until the download servers go down and you have a cartridge that’s just ewaste

Huh, nothing changed…

Weird, I guess.

If this is a real thing and not photoshopped, the fact that they feel the need to hide their faces is depressing.

Character is Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1

I’m a bit confused, it’s a beta, right?

Why are people annoyed that the game runs like an unfinished game?

It is!

By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can’t be good?

I do not.

But a quick search online says that Stephen Hawking had an IQ of 160.
