I am not a fan of discs (i can't even remember when i last used one tbh, must be decades), but i am a fan of conservation and transferable licences. This move creates a completely unpreservable generation of video games until the thing gets jailbroken to hell and back, which can take years - whatever games appear and disappear in that timeframe might be lost forever. Damn, at least you can resell Nintendos Game Keycards.

That's probably why they pulled back the last time they tried to pull this shit in 2023. 3 years later, and they test their limits again.

It's not misleading. Sony is the one who took the money and hides somewhere 23 pages inside their terms of service that the terms "buy", "purchase", "own" and so on don't mean what they commonly do. Your contract regarding these movies is with Sony - the underlying structure should not matter to you. This is not the first time Sony pulled this shit. Go watch Louis Rossmanns video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYxmRaRRdc0

Ok, i appreciate what he wants to say, but he has fully bought into the delusion that an LLM gets somewhat close to an AGI, including the "LLMs could wipe out humanity" crap that Musk/Altman/Amodei are pushing to make their models seem more capable than they will ever be. The only way an LLM can be a danger to humanity is when it gets integrated into automated killchains including a nuclear arsenal, and i hope noone is stupid enough to hook up the nuclear football to a statistical model that is guaranteed to have malfunctions.

Because most prebuilts are not designed to be placed in the living room (neither dimensionwise nor acousticwise) except if you pay a shitton for a device with an uncommon form factor, and then you have to configure everything yourself. The Steam Machine combines the form factor of a small, very silent HTPC with enough performance to use it for gaming in an all-in-one package - that definitely is an attractive prospect, and it's the reason it's seen with different eyes, even tho - objectively seen - it's specs arent great at all.

I was always more interested in the Steam Frame. That will be my first VR-device ever, and i'm hyped for that.

The Machine has one advantage: Valve will probably keep it on the market for quite a while. When prices get a bit more "normal" again, i'm sure they will reduce the price to match the new reality. The Machine is really more like a PC for people who don't have the tech skills to setup a DIY PC, and that's what people are paying for.

Whatever makes you sleep tighter at night, i guess. i wouldn't be caught dead trading stocks that are so closely related to a fascist tho. Anything that benefits them outweighs any personal gains we might take away when lucky.

Thanks for making me two decades younger than i am in real life.

do you know that your snide remarks dont make you less of an investor into a fascist owned company with dogshit revenue?

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 1 points 2 months ago

This company can NEVER take the financial trajectory they planned for it. Their revenue is dogshit, and when the AI part of the company goes down the drain, even Musk wont be able to salvage the wreckage.

Are we really ignoring the fact that Schwarzenegger got an male impreg-fetish? She looks so innocent on the poster, but the internet has educated me, telling me she has a fucking huge dick and more potency than a group of bodybuilders. Hell, i am somewhat disturbed by the fact that the whole poster isn't covered by a huge amount of cum.

All of this would also explain his facial expression, and the somewhat cuckoldlike doctor.
