The same reason people go into debt for a burrito. It’s easier for people to justify a smaller cost now, and valve will make than money back later with extra games sold, especially in the case of the Frame.

Hearing that is so refreshing. Microsoft/Google would never put something like that on their website because you are the product.

Exactly, but I don’t see anything keeping them from selling the Frame at a loss or tight margin. What else are you going to use that with but Steam games?

Even the Steam Controller is useless without Steam Input, but I’d argue it won’t necessarily sell more games. Maybe they could include it with the Steam Machine for “free” to bump the price of the machine up enough to not make sense for a company, but still sell it at a tight margin to sell more games.

Yeah, I don’t wanna go through the proper training to actually be a useful gun carrying person. I also don’t want to carry a gun. Between those two things, I haven’t bought one. If I weren’t a straight I might have to reconsider.

A single 18650 would have more capacity than the existing battery. That’d be dope. It is interesting how AAs and AAAs have a super common rechargeable standard, but the average person is not familiar with the lithium rechargeable standard.

The overwhelming ignorance of rechargeable NiMH AA batteries is completely unreasonable. It’s so nice when my Xbox One controllers die to just simply swap batteries, and throw the existing batteries on the charger. That said, you’re not alone with that ignorance, those massive packs of single use AAs at Costco must sell to someone.

What in the AI generated bullshit spam are your posts? You’ve made like 4 to this community in the past day, and your account is less than a month old. Stop it.

My weekend project list was longer than my arm before I got into self hosting.

There’s literally an app for it called Sora.

I’d bet a lot that it’ll be easy to install. Any Linux distro I’ve tried is a breath of fresh air after using the Windows installer. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they make driver management even more seamless and automagic than the best Linux distros, stuff like that might be why it’s taking so long.

I just run headless Linux and imagine that I’m playing games.

LibreOffice has been so good. As a non-power user I haven’t even noticed a difference, aside from the lack of bullshit.

I still can’t believe how badly Windows fucked that up. It’s crazy.

My mom referred to it as this, and I’ve always been up to date on vaccines.

This does a great job of not answering the question I guess. I obviously am aware that I can write them myself, but I don’t want to. I like automating things.

It is starting to sound like it’d have to be haha

Yeah, GPT or whatever can do it, but I was hoping for something a bit more lightweight than what we’ve come to know as AI, as I don’t want to invest in new hardware.

The plug won’t always have two buttons if it’s GFCI protected, as one GFCI outlet can protect multiple outlets.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but self hosting opens up so much more flexibility, much like cloud hosted services we’re used to. Jellyfin is like a personal Netflix where you can watch your movies on any device at any time. The convenience is obvious. For most cloud hosted services, there’s an alternative that can be self hosted, and then you actually own your shit.

Their coffee isn’t being taken away though, it’s never being given to them in the first place.
