- Comment on WTF Just Happened? | The Corrupt Memory Industry & Micron [GN] 6 days ago:
I think a lot of people left out the fact that these companies have been accepting public funds for R&D and expansion, and now they’re no longer using those funds to sell consumer products, but rather dumping them into the insatiable maw that is AI.

Nah, 1200w is much more than that.
If you live in LA that’s like 2MWh/year.

If you’re like me, wondering what “balcony solar” is, it’s basically just solar panels that plug directly into your wall outlet.

How about get her Steam Deck and then don’t worry about emulation? Just let her use it the way Gaben intended.

The short version is that an enormous, multibillion dollar industry has been built around Valve’s item marketplace, and in particular around CS:GO skins. If that sounds completely insane and stupid, I’m with you, but it exists. Valve takes their typical cut off of all of these trades, and thus derives massive profits from it.
Here’s the long version: https://peertube.gravitywell.xyz/videos/watch/a8e6d20c-3003-4b14-b9c4-cb6a25b238e7?isPeertubeContent=1

Oh shut up, you pedantic ass
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 2 weeks ago:
Can Jellyfin be accessed outside the network?
Yes. Jellyfin is just a Docker container. It can be accessed the same as any other Docker container. Plex simplifies this because they can basically configure all the DNS stuff for you, because it goes through their DNS. But either can be accessed.
Or it requires a lot more work (and maybe some paid service) to do.
More specialized knowledge to configure Tailscale or a reverse proxy, yes.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 2 weeks ago:
Install Tailscale at both ends. Done.
Nnnnno, doesn’t really work that way

They absolutely do give a fuck. Their entire business model depends on it.
- Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones. 2 weeks ago:
No batteries are irreplaceable. It would be really stupid to do that because then the OEM would have to throw away the entire vehicle when there was any sort of battery issue. Software updates have nothing to do with the powertrain. It’s not an EV problem.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 2 weeks ago:
This just reads like a bunch of nonsense. What are they actually doing?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
True. Can’t wait for the AI collapse to bring these prices crashing down with them.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I am aware. Not sure what that has to do with my comment.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
If it was going to be cheap, they’d have told us
Not true. The problem is there are a lot of moving targets in the electronics market right now, so even Valve doesn’t know what they’re going to be able to sell it for.

The worst thing about the hardware unveiling is the endless posts about pricing 😮💨

I was not impressed in 2022 either when it was frequently wrong, didn’t back up anything it said with facts, sources or evidence, and business people kept hyping it immediately as some sort of revolution.
I spent a lot of time having an existential crisis before I realized I was not alone.

I was going to suggest Framework. You can buy them without any OS at all. But it’s going to be easily >$2k with a GPU.
