So... it's only $528 cheaper...????

PS5 Pro is 2TB and comes with controller. It is also way faster hardware than Steam Machine and can play native 4K. For $528 less.

8GB vram is perfectly acceptable for the performance level of this box.

I think the argument being made is that the performance level of this box is not really acceptable for a game-console-replacement product in 2026.

The performance is pretty bad when compared to the PS5 Pro, which is much cheaper. And comes with a controller.

You can't bring your Steam library to a PS5, which might be a significant factor, but also if you've heavily invested in a library of Steam games, you probably already have a gaming PC, this probably isn't in any way an upgrade from it, which makes it a pure convenience product for $1k+.

The funny part is the leak could only have come from inside his administration and party because he withheld briefings from his political opponents

~~Pakistan has made guarantees that they will retaliate with their nuclear weapons if a nuclear strike occurs on Iran.~~

EDIT: I went to find a source and Pakistan has walked this back and are denying that they ever said it

In most somewhat-but-not-completely sane places, the part of piracy that is illegal/criminal is distributing the copyrighted material, so downloading it to feed an LLM would already not really be an issue. The "problem" here is that most of these LLMs are used for commercial purposes, which is not allowed, and some claim LLMs are a form of distributing the copyrighted material.

If your LLM is only for personal use, then yeah that's probably totally fine already, unless you live in one of the completely not sane places where both receiving and distibuting copyrighted material are illegal/criminal.

Steam controller off ebay?

I would disagree with MBFC's opinion that RFA's credibility is "High" or that its bias is left leaning

Wow.

I'm not aware of specific bans or rules for this community beyond what is in the sidebar. It says that sources with Low or Very Low credibility rating from MBFC will be removed. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/drop-site-news-bias-and-credibility/ Drop Site News has a Mostly Factual rating, 2 notches above Low, so I'd assume it would be allowed? 🤷

Edit: I checked RFA ratings on MBFC and it's "High" credibility with "Left-Center" bias. LOL!!!

Radio Free Asia

🤦

Thanks, that makes sense

Trump is not the president of Europe though

Are there not sanction on Russian oil? ...so... tariffs on something that is illegal to import?

Notice how all those bot accounts that were so active leading up to the election have completely vanished from the internet now? Yeah.
