Quoting: TightRope

Quoting: ChuckaluphagusI've bought Crucial RAM for decades, and quite a few Crucial SSDs over the past fifteen years. A shame to see it go.

I have bought Crucial products for decades and they were always reliable. Too bad I will have to switch to another brand.
How many people will go back to Crucial when the bubble finally bursts and they need real customers? This is probably a bad long term business decision.

Yeah I was thinking how I've always liked their products, I have a few crucial ssd

But when/if they come back into consumer market it will make me think twice about my purchase

Amazon cut around 14,000 jobs.. the roles were stuff like "human resources, operations, and devices, with some media and communications roles"

Amazon cited "the need to be organized "more leanly" and seize opportunities presented by ai"

This is the answer I got from google ai overview lol, maybe I need to practise what I preach

Then there's deep fakes and it's moving quite rapidly, ai was obviously fake few years ago but it's improved alot and will continue to improve, when any video of a corruption politician or criminal could be passed off as "fake" or "fake news" as certain people like to call it

Then there's the fact of how much water and electrict needed for the ai, remember that next time your energy bills go up!

I'm still surprised it wasn't just free to fresh supply owners

Was fresh supply that bad? Never played it back in the day but had a good time playing online co-op with a steam friend on fresh supply and it seemed to work just fine?

I think this is meant to be based on the original code, but even then between fresh supply and things like eduke and raze, I don't really see why I'd want to buy this

I was wondering if this would happen after it went on sale in October

I'm tempted but I really wanted the oled model, as it sounds like an amazing upgrade. Not just the display but battery life, better WiFi ect

That said I've wanted a steam deck for years and this is a great bargain, I'm just so indecisive and kind of want to wait until I can afford the oled model

I pray they add splitscreen onto this at some point, feels wrong not having it on a timesplitters game

"Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment from 1935 that illustrates a paradox in quantum mechanics by suggesting a cat in a sealed box would be both alive and dead at the same time, existing in a quantum superposition until the box is opened and observed"

I hope they fix the path-finding issue with doom 1+2 at some point

While desktop mode only I do hope later on he can look into adding the big picture mode

For now big picture mode on steam does a good job of thst for me, and I use boilR to add my heroic/lutris games onto steam, if you add your steamgrid api key it will even sort all the artwork out

I do wish valve would add ambient background music to big picture and steamOS. They could even have a selection of music on the points store!

I'll definitely be watching closely at how this performs compared to ps5 and series x

I've had my PC for 8 years now, the longest I've ever gone, normally every 5 years I build a brand new PC but for me these days it's just unfeasible :( *cries in poor*

That's why when rumours came about a possible new steam machine I was hopeful, I'd love a console/PC hybrid that can play the latest titles at reasonable settings

Also everyone said the price point for steam deck was always a good deal for the hardware inside, so I feel the steam machine will be good value for money which in this day and age is something to behold.

I'm also just happy valve has made me excited about hardware again, I use to get excited every time a new console was announced but that died for me after the 360/ps3 era..new hardware from valve always gives me a huge tech-boner :)
