I would love to see how California would try to go about banning Linux as a platform for non-compliance. Just...love to see how they would try.

Surprised they'd do something so blatant, but given they're willing to use AI-generated content for their game it's not super surprising they'd also be pro-surveillance. goes hand-in-hand really

Quoting: ScottCarammellstill waiting for that legitimate use case the technology is sure to get. I mean this is supposed to be the next motor vehicle or whatever, right? there's gotta be something huge right around the corner. not like this was all a giant, unbelievable waste of time, money, life and resources for absolutely nothing of value. that's impossible. the people on wall street said otherwise. they're supposed to be smart, right?

forgive me if two instances of in-house models making improvements in specific fields doesn't make me feel better about its primary use case being making cheap garbage that makes life worse, misinforming the public and stalking political dissidents

Steam Machine verification will have "fewer constraints" than Steam Deck - but text sizing worries me

text scaling was always a stupid point against verification honestly. it's just too arbitrary. a bunch of indie games with perfectly legible text might have one line that's kind of small and get a tick off of verification, meanwhile games like Elden Ring are composed almost ENTIRELY of tiny text and are verified. should just be removed from the verification process

Valve discontinuing the last Steam Deck LCD model

not that i wanted the LCD model anyway, but not only AI is taking people jobs now its making everything more expensive for the people who still have jobs.
What does AI have to do with the LCD model being discontinued? AI isn't affecting LCD production at all.

More likely people just weren't buying the LCD model enough to warrant the production costs for Valve.
I imagine they're saying the rising cost of parts made the LCD models unreasonably expensive to produce given their price, hence why the other models remain. Which of course may or may not be true, but I'd believe it.
