I’m a nerd who enjoys playing Video Games, watching アニメ (Anime) and tinkering with things that probably shouldn’t be tinkered with 🤔

Where does it say new product? I read their announcement and get the impression that it’s an update to an existing product:
“We’ve got one more big update for you, and you can tune into our YouTube channel August 26th at 8am PT to see what it is!”
Actually I disagree. Using a Steam Deck docked in desktop mode I was able to run out of memory by playing Minecraft while having one browser tab open (YouTube) and Discord.
I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that the SteamDeck’s 16GB of LPDDR5 is both VRAM and system memory and the Steam Deck dynamically allocates it based on need.
And that’s before we even consider doing something wacky like using the Steam Deck for Dev work or 3D modeling or other more “normal computer” uses.


Would you look at that - the pipeline is green now! Quick everybody, merge your stuff while it’s stable (/s) (sadly a true story tho)


Bold of you to assume that the line can’t go up further… just think of all those poor shareholders missing out on an even higher value! 😩


Valve has been moving slow and steady, but it seems like a master plan for Steam Machines could finally be coming into focus.
Honestly if Valve launched a new Steam Machine today, I’d buy it in an instant.


So the author of the blog post that the article is based off of actually interacted with some comments over on Hacker News and there were some pretty interesting revelations - such as his resume having Vibecoding as the first skill listed on it and living/looking for jobs on the East Coast with a website sounding like he’s on the West Coast among other things.
I guess the media saw his blog post as a quick means of driving clicks through a clickbait headline. That’s not to say that the market isn’t hot trash at the moment, but I personally doubt Engineers are being replaced by AI.


I’d be interested to see the performance jump on a Zen 5 (or Xeon) CPU given that Zen 4 does that “double pump” approach to AVX512.
Gapless? Do you mean downloading media for offline playback? Yes:

Just be prepared for the space requirements of your media library as you may find your phone quickly running out of storage if you have a lot of high res audio:

I can confidently say that no it will not “intelligently use the LAN” when you’re on the same network - I don’t know of any service that will… unless Plex/Plexamp somehow does this?
The solution is as someone else said - use a DNS Server to forward it in your LAN to the internal IP. If you’re unsure how to do this, just search how to setup a Hairpin NAT for the router you own. I can confirm that once you set this up, it will work seamlessly with both Finamp and Jellyfin.
I’ve never used plex or plexamp but I have used Finamp for listening / offline downloading of my music collection from my Jellyfin server. Is this perhaps what you’re looking for? iOS: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/finamp/id1574922594 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unicornsonlsd.finamp


TIL - thank you for sharing this!


Unless you are blocking the vents on the back or top of the device, it’s very unlikely that you will drive your Steam Deck “too hard”. If you do somehow manage to drive it “too hard”, I don’t think it will warn you (someone correct me if I’m wrong on this) but what it should do instead is something called thermal throttling whereby the device will scale back it’s performance to stay within a certain thermal threshold.


I was thinking exactly this! At some point a long time ago, all of these centralized platforms were “cool” until “uncool” people started joining and sharing garbage content… now we’re in a bit of a renaissance as these platforms commit social suicide. The more intellectual individuals are both able and willing to jump ship to these “complex platforms”.
Will Grandma or crazy Uncle Bill ever join Mastodon on their own and understand federation? No, probably not. But that guy you went to University with who is now working as a Civil Engineer or Financial Advisor will probably figure it out and migrate when it gets bad enough.
Now I ask, who’s content would you rather see filling your feed? 🤣


I don’t understand - why would ISPs gang up on ActivityPub? How would it force larger instances to “crack”?
Are you saying that they would ramp up costs for utilizing the protocol specifically? Wouldn’t that go against Net Neutrality…?
Reminds me of Krazam’s Microservices video 🤣

Have you seen 16bit Sensation: Another Layer? It’s not the most Anime Otaku thing but if you’re into Tech Otaku stuff then what about PC-98?
Also just out of curiosity, where in the world has four digit license plates? Is it for a car or motorcycle or some other kind of vehicle?
