SteamOS plus the next gen of MSI Claw or ASUS ROG ally is going to be the absolutely superior gaming and customer experience in the coming years. There’s no good reason to buy a Switch unless you need Nintendo exclusives (or have kids, and then it just makes sense).

I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I’m using as a file server, but I’m working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.

If you have a laptop/something that runs off a battery, upower

Their head is up their ass, instead of in the clouds.

I look forward to following this story as it develops.

The devs feel a moral obligation to show you Yennefer’s tits

Yeah. Stream your android games from your phone to your steam deck so you can stream them to your phone!

That still doesn’t make sense. All this does is enable the PS VR headset to be used with a PC to play steam games. It gives people that already own a PS VR another option for usage: plugging it into a PC and playing VR games they purchased through steam. It lowers the barrier to entry for the user to experience PC VR games by being able to use hardware they already have on hand instead of having to purchase an Oculus or Index. Valve still gets their software sales cut because you can only use the PS VR to play games in your steam library on PC.

Sounds like a dumb move. I thought the money was in software/game sales, not hardware that’s sold at a loss?

Great stuff. Thanks!

Thanks, yeah I’ll probably pick it up at a big discount to load up on the steam deck and put a couple hours into.

Thanks. That matches up with what I had heard in passing bout it.

Might be worth a couple hours if I’ve got nothing else going on I guess.

Do you need to run the Intel cards with an Intel CPU to get the quick sync benefits? I upgraded my desktop last year and am going to convert my old Ryzen 5600x system to … something. Not sure what yet though. Just working on my options.

Anyone played this? I’ve had it on my steam wishlist for a few years but never got around to it

The real answer?

Data is transmitted in packets. Each packet has a packet header, and a packet payload. The total data transmitted is the header + payload.

If you’re transmitting smaller packet sizes, it means your header is a larger percentage of the total packet size.

Measuring in megabits is the ISP telling you “look, your connection is good for X amount of data. How you choose to use that data is up to you. If you want more of it going to your packet headers instead of your payload, fine.” A bit is a bit is a bit to your ISP.

If you’re bringing the water to a boil then taking it off the heat and mixing in the coffee grounds (like how you would do tea), then that’s just a French press. Letting the grounds settle out on their own is actually the preferred method. The press just has a wire mesh that prevents the grounds from coming out when you pour. This is a fantastic method for great coffee. On small change I’d make is don’t bring the water to a full boil. Coffee burns at over 185F (85C) so if you have a kitchen thermometer you can check the temp with that would be best.

If you’re bringing the water to a boil then adding the grounds and letting it keep boiling (similar to how you’d cook pasta), that’s closer to a percolator and will probably taste much more burned/bitter.

The two lessons I remember about traveling to France is their coffee tastes like shit and their wine is fantastic.

We cooperated!?

This is the same researcher that said the universe is 26.7 billion years old based on the JWST data instead of 13.8.

Happy to see ideas thrown out there to help us understand what dark matter is, but I’m really looking forward to all the random videos that eventually come out explaining why it holds up against a whole bunch of observational evidence while it ignores all the other observational evidence it doesn’t hold up against.

I don’t know, Harvard is kind of the epitome of the ‘liberal elite’…
