If they give all land including Crimea back and pay sufficient reparations, Ukraine might agree.

I’m afraid you’re right.
My comment was meant to sound tongue-in-cheek.

Wen consumer mainboards with HBM?

So many parallels with the dot-com bubble and so much FOMO.
But the computer hardware shortage / price skyrocketing caused by the AI bros is a really bad extra.

You know, it might be just like you described it and in all likelikood it is.
But I still find it heartwarming to think there are similar stories that are true - even if you have to take part in them to make them so.

Maybe an unusual take, but I use the SD in desktop mode for working.
The USB-C supports Display Port, so I have 2 external monitors connected and keyboard as well as mouse obviously.
With another USB-C powered portable monitor as alternative it’s an even kinda portable setup.

Aaaaaand it’s sold out again: https://www.ign.com/articles/the-steam-deck-is-sold-out-again-even-after-the-huge-price-rise

It sucks that the SD got more expensive, but your calculation about relevant component price hikes is spot-on.
Blaming Valve for that is a kind of victim blaming, because Valve would love to bring even more users in their eco-system through affordable hardware that just works.

Steam Deck and SteamOS are no walled garden.
That’s the difference.
Feel free to run Bazzite on the SD, or even Windows, lol.

If all my Steam games are gone, I continue playing games from my GOG library through Heroic Games Launcher.
Again, see: no walled garden.

A: criminals.

Why stop at the penis?

How do you not live up to oil?
Is using reneawable energy sources a way to do that?
If yes, that’s good.

Sounds like you’re letting ‘perfect’ be the enemy ‘good’.
An OS not being abused by Google or Apple to corral users is good enough for me.
I couldn’t care less whether it’s proprietary in this case.

Give me a fully open source phone, that’s capable of being a daily driver without funneling data to Google or Apple and we’re talking!
How nice that people can have different requirements for their phones 😉

Why not letting him enter, but arrest him then?

Make him the norm again - MHTNA!
Nope, that doesn’t fly, although the motto is great.

Mais non!

I, too, like cheese!

…as would the users…

Socialism is what most people love, yet some in all but name.

Why can’t it be both?
