I have a feeling Steam Deck 2 will be ARM based. Is it just me?

The price is good. This is a similar price (or cheaper?) to a high end smart phone that comes with even less RAM.
I'm personally not a VR person though, so I'll most likely skip this and continue to wait for my turn on the Steam Machine wait list ⏰

What's going on with Sony lately? Anyway, let's hope it eventually get to SteamOS as well.

I found this to be good news. Cloud gaming should die; games should run on our machines directly, and developers should learn how to make optimized games that don't require a nuclear-reactor-powered data centre.

Quoting: StalePopcornWhat a great time to be gaming on macOS Linux! 😁 Sorry, not a dig at the OS (which I loved for decades) but the anti-consumer company that enslave its users into their overpriced, walled garden.

Feel free to dig at the OS as well; it doesn't support Vulkan like it should. It also doesn't have a proper package manager. Sure homebrew exists, but that's third party. It also has a case insensitive file system.

Quoting: GuestThat isn't true at all. Demand for AI is growing, and doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime soon.

It will stop as soon as people have to start paying the true cost of the service. For now we are still in the phase were the drug dealer gives out doses for free, things will get interesting when he starts demanding payment.

and they won't be able to ask for the true cost of the service if you have enough RAM to run the models locally, so they have to buy out all RAM in the market to make sure you don't have the option of running models locally.

That is very 'conspiracy' theory.

Is it?

Quoting: Savor592Oh boy. I sure can't wait for the news of all these new AI start-up golddiggers failing horribly, as AI-supply heavily outweighs demand.

That isn't true at all. Demand for AI is growing, and doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime soon. What I'm hoping for, and this is already proving to be true, is that we are EXPANDING supply. New factories in the US for example from TSCM and Samsung. AI continues to expand, and ram supply continues to grow which will lower prices.

No, you are mistaken, Demand for AI is growing, but it's growing at a much slower pace than the supply is. Think about it, how many AI providers does the average user need? Two, three, maybe four? Only within the LLM space there is Google, OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, xAI, Cohere, not to name countless other LLMs being developed by various countries with support from governments thinking that owning AI is a strategic goal. Compare this to other services and you'll see that the supply definitely far exceeds the demand. For example, how many search engines does the world actually need? Google alone covers more than 80% of the market, then you have Bing and that's almost it; the rest are all just small players.
This is almost a rule: whenever there is a new technological breakthrough there is guaranteed to be a bubble, i.e. supply far exceeding demand. This is because when there is a new technological revolution many investors will think it's the right time to invest, but none of them will be able to know for sure how many other investors are also thinking the same way, so what do you do? Do you wait and miss out, or do you take the risk and invest? No one will want to miss out on a golden opportunity, so it's guaranteed that the supply will outweigh demand. It happened with the internet bubble despite the demand continuing to rise and it's happening now, and investors know by now that we are in a bubble but it's too late to back out because they've already invested tens of billions, so they have no way other than try to delay the bubble burst through false information or whatever until they either secure a place among the few or find a way out before the burst.
