This is the truth. You can still do it, but it sucks so much more now compared to 10 years ago, and continues to trend down. The positive is that the AI hype is normalizing, with the real limitations kicking in. Still, I’m planning my tech exit. Trying to figure out where I need to be so I can go do something else. Not to mention corporate life is draining me

Yeah we were just in the market a year or so ago and I thought this was cool for about a second before I realized what this would be used for. It’s just advertising straight into your kitchen, as you are grabbing food. It’s the perfect place for them to advertise. Any lack of advertisements was always going to be temporary.

Plus honestly what is the actual use for it? Just put a tablet on the counter if you want a screen in there

I like that it says they are different from projects like TubeArchivist, says “read the readme for why”, and then it doesn’t have an explanation.

I’ve been using TubeArchivist for years now and it’s been great. Solid update cadence, reliable, and I have no idea why this project is different from it

I did synapse about a year ago but kind of wish I had done conduit, it seems so much simpler. That being said, all of the bridges and add-ons assume you’re running synapse

I found proxmox and docker to be fairly incompatible, and went through many iterations of different things to make it work well. Docker in VMs, Docker in LXC, Docker on the host (which felt redundant as hell). Proxmox is an amazing hypervisor, but then I realized I didn’t really need a hypervisor since I was mostly running containers.

My recommendations:

• No need for VMs Just run debian and run containers on it

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, 1 host Run proxmox, and create a VM in proxmox for your contianer workloads

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, >1 host, easy mode Same as above, but make one host debian and the other one proxmox

• Some VMs, Mostly Containers, >1 host, hard mode but worth it after 2 years Use kubernetes, I use k3s. Some nodes are just debian with k3s on them, others are running in VMs on proxmox using the extra compute available. This has a massive learning curve though, it took me well into a year to finally having it at a state I like it - but I’ll never go back.

Personally I don’t subscribe to that. I’m sure Linus and Torvalds disagree, but I don’t care. I remember reading about the corejs developer begging people to donate because he couldn’t afford food, meanwhile react, angular, and thus every major company depended on it. Story happens too often. I wish we could be completely open, but it just gets exploited

I’ve always liked the idea of gpl. It’s open for anyone who wants to play fair, but prevents large corporations from profiting off of your work. They can always license it from you of course, you just get to negotiate that.

Exactly that

Yup it is, and in pure moronic big tech, it’s only a short term money maker. Eroding trust in the platform bit by bit, more and more people are growing annoyed by it, and all the social media doing it.

The only way to be a truly moral person on this planet is to not participate in society and go completely 100% off grid. Even then the Good Place did a great episode on that, and they’re right, you’re not really living then either. It’s all just about what you’re willing to put up with

That’s a fair reason IMO. However, knowing that it might be a few years out, then it becomes “is it worth the wait”

I don’t think you can take a device like this and compare AAA titles on it, but even if we do then I think you can only compare it to other handhelds. Right now, checking the competitors they’re mostly on par right now for AAA performance. I stand by my other comments, if you’re looking for good graphics and good performance, a handheld is not the right device for you - you need to be looking at a desktop with an actual GPU and real power.

Those are real tradeoffs we make by going portable, we expect lower performance so we can get a longer battery life. We cannot have a long battery and great performance in a portable, they go against each other. If others are able to pull it off then yeah go with them, but every bit of performance they add means consuming more battery life.

It’s him, he’s the chosen one. The one who gets to use the software without agreeing to anything. The one who will bring peace

Your story hurt me deep.

Your question depends on your definition of “can it run”. To me, as a portable device I get 45 fps on the witcher on medium settings and that’s very playable. If you want to use it as a desktop and expect that the next version will rival a 5000 series GPU, that’s unrealistic.

By definition it cannot exist. You can have a powerhouse or portable. The fact that they made the deck as powerful as they did is frankly amazing.

See other comments, this was on purpose to make it more portable. The deck doesn’t need to be a powerhouse, it needs to be portable. We already have powerhouse desktops

This has been a major annoyance I’ve had too with gamers. It was never meant to play games at 240fps with ultra graphics. It’s meant as a way to make “most” games playable on the road. A great low cost entry point, or something to compliment your big gaming rig. I don’t need an upgrade because it does what it does great, plays most games on decent settings well enough for the duration of a flight or trip. If you want ultra graphics, you will have to pay ultra prices and probably do a big desktop. Even “Steam Deck 2” will still probably only do 30-45fps games on medium, just newer games will be a bit more playable.

That’s a fair ask IMO. Not wanting a newer shinier one, just one that fits you better.

Proves over and over society was not ready for AI chatbots like this. I use it daily, but as someone who fully knows the limitations of what it is and what it can do. I’m mentally sound and can handle whatever garbage it can vomit up, but it helps with my coding. The fact that it was unleashed to everyone going full pandora’s box was an insane pure profit driven motive.

Those of us who understand it can completely see it going off the rails. It’s just a prediction machine. If you give it horrible stuff like that it’s going to predict that it should come up with horrible stuff in response. It’s almost impossible to stop it from doing that because the only real way to prevent it is to not train on that stuff before, but when you’re dealing with the entire fucking internet that’s pretty hard too. (Seriously people, Reddit and 4chan were included in training. How stupid were they with this?)

This was inevitable. Of course people are too trusting in AI and those mentally unwell will not be able to distinguish it. It was designed to be like that. They were wrong to release it openly to society.
