I've been following Bazzite - it probably warrants its own thread. So far it's looking like the closest thing to a SteamOS for general desktops unless and until Valve-time ever releases the actual thing. It includes the SteamDeck UI experience which is superior in many ways to booting Windows...

Yep the 980 Pro was mentioned, and Samsung got a black eye for that one, but it doesn't appear to really be part of an overall pattern of behavior. Whereas the OEM's mixing and matching components as well as changing them without notice as they go are part of a more systemic problem created by...

The messaging here is that they are fully vertical, while the rest of the market tends to be drives built with a hodge podge of third party components. It doesn't make Samsung drives immune to problems - the 980 Pro had some turbulence - but there's accountability, they own any problems. There's...

Imagine always being the smartest one in the room?

Clickbait-slime is the only thing keeping the lights on for a lot of these tech sites. Nvidia drivers aren't infallible, but all the other systems at the tourney were on identical hardware including GPU. If anything, people jumping up and down about one exception during one game kinda proves the...

If Valve parlayed SteamDeck's success and the SteamOS advancements into rebooting the SteamBox concept that blew up on the launchpad last time, I think it'd find some success now that Valve has much more supply chain experience building VR hardware as well as the Deck. And then god forbid a...

IMO, third party exclusives isn't why PS5 dominates, it's not the primary motivator for customers. It's firstparty, Sony invests a lot in their in-house studios, which make some of the best titles. I realize this isn't news. Microsoft understood the critical importance of firstparty when the...

My hope for the PC world is Valve finding a reason to leverage the massive work that's gone into evolving the software stack for SteamOS on the Deck, and releasing a SteamOS for general desktop use. I know they've hinted at the possibility, but they don't do stuff unless they see a big upside...

One of the freeing aspects of moving most of my systems to Linux has not been in any illusion that linux updates can't break something, but knowing that a financial incentive in an oversight vacuum isn't influencing or steering the updates. Meaning if something does break and a rollback is...

And that is a heavy lift for sure - years of accumulated code like a rubber band ball of fixes on top of fixes, tweaks and optimizations that have to be pulled apart, re-examined and refactored. But they seem to understand they would only benefit from an open-source driver model, along with...

The "ZFS for everything" religious phenomenon has been an interesting one on the timeline of modern computing. Off-topic, but ZFS is pretty much inescapable for anyone that's tried researching improving or expanding their storage. Just about every online guide, forum...

Elon is always working an angle - usually in service to some ulterior, master of the universe type powerplay in his head. I used to like the guy - Tesla and SpaceX seemed cool, his "working for the betterment of humanity" shtick seemed genuine. But in more recent years am finding him dangerous...

From what I understand, the vast majority of freebie hoarders don't ever play the games. The game is the dopamine hit you got adding a free game to the library; after that it's forgotten about in most cases. Not that that's a bad thing, but "bribe people to come to my party" isn't great...

I do, it's great, but respectfully, I'm not sure how it would change what I mentioned. Two things can be simultaneously true: Epic has talented and competent developers, some of who are linux users and run their development environment atop linux; and their CEO can be short-sighted, flippant...

Sweeney will once again just hang back, let Valve and others take all the risk, make all the investment, do all the heavy machinework boring a tunnel through the linux gaming mountain. And then he'll show up and decry "Steam's outrageous and unfair linux gaming monopoly" as he announces EGS for...

An overflowing toilet is impervious to scorn. And manufactured rumors is a dedicated Industry now with teams of employees and production budgets. I used to think MLID, AdoredTV etc were causes, but no, they're symptoms. Just like the degeneration of cable news (Right and Left) catering to and...

None of these are legit. The "resellers" here are keeping 100%. Zero goes to MS. Might as well just use KMS activation at that point. The rot in this market goes far deeper than merely opportunists capitalizating on pricing disparities between regions, and it"s not what's happening with these...

This particular case with the app store is a head scratcher and seems like overreach, but to the EU's credit, the list of actions against MS, Google, Apple, etc that actually made these megacorps bend into slightly more consumer friendly positions is pretty long.

This thread was relevant to the early days of RTX 4000 when the cards had just launched and some needed a BIOS update for the issue described in OP. If your card has been sitting 14 months, all you can do is try running it and if it doesnt need the update, the update won't proceed. Unclear why...

Yes, but it involves farm animals. Probably not the answer you were looking for, I wish I had better news. It's a wild, wild west business. It cheapens us all.

As long as people understand it's not actually a warranty, it's a gamble that GHD doesn't disappear in the middle of the night, in which case you're SOL. Yes they've been around a long time, but still a gamble. The bigger problems that keep me away from refurbers like GHD and ServerPartDeals is...

Havent really followed this game but this gameplay footage showed on my feed (Drewski) and gotta say gameplay looks fantastic. Like a more evolved, graphically impressive mashup of Destiny and Remnant From The Ashes, with starwars helmets. 3P coop shooters are just fun. https://youtu.be/N6F_aVqXuwU

Amazing preview of what's in development. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhLQNuxRqJQ&t=146s

The game is incredible, the VR version is mind boggling -- really well done.

Sexually speaking Pat does have considerable ground to make up, yes.

They're so nice at MC that abusing the store would just feel like stealing from a friend. They're one of the last B&M's that haven't been ground in the gears of autonomous warehouse machinery and faceless, online-ordered-Amazon-everything.

Retailers' typical angle for these types of offers is 1. Engagement (get people into the store to buy something, knowing the statistical percentages and averages for people that do, how many items, types of items, average gross and net per receipt) 2. Margin (profit) on the new purchase you're...

You could've disputed this instead of refunding actually.

Sidenote, there's this growing gap between UE5 games actually coming out (after almost 2yrs there's only Fortnite + 2 flops), and the flood of youtube vids showing UE5 demos and how easy it is for anyone with no prior experience to 1-click create videogames with it. Legitimate game dev cycles...

And yet they'll probably sell out and may even incur scalping like their predecessor. Why, because no other fan can alternate between telling you the time, and material of an adult nature (filth) involving bikinis and a car wash. Talk about a value-add for system builders and anime freaks just...

First shown at Computex, now all the world swoons before Lian Li's beautiful nightmares as they were suddenly, finally released to retail mere hours ago. 400x400 pixels. RGB-lit infinity mirrors around the edges. Available in black and white, 120mm and 140mm, plus a reversed-blade option...

Yeah I was waiting for the AI-translated part to begin and then realized it already had. The next brain melter was a side-by-side with the German + AI English, taking turns muting and unmuting each since I also understand the german version fluently. It's definitely surreal.

I hope you wrote down their names.

Especially such a timeless classic as...✍️ checking notes... The Crew? I couldn't breathe when I heard the news.

Not sure if you gave up yet, but did you try Disk Drill? www.cleverfiles.com/data-recovery-software.html I'd forgotten to mention that one, but I've used it a few times recently and it has a few features that gives it an edge over some of the others (all these tools essentially do the same...
