I'm not interested in the Steam Machine, but I DO am interested in switching my gaming PC to Steam OS! I hope the Steam Machine will put more pressure on getting Steam OS to the masses.

That would be a dealbreaker for me. I don’t want a mobile camera live-streaming the interior of my home to a Chinese or American cloud service. LIDAR is the only acceptable option for me. I’m OK with having a very rough 2D map of my home st

In Southern Europe, not many people wait for a red light if there isn't anything to wait for. Even the police blasts through red lights if nobody is using the pedestrian crossing.

I was in Germany once at a red light for a pedestrian crossing. After the last pedestrian had fully crossed the street and the pedestrian light turned red I drove off. I did not wait for my own light to turn green which is typical in my cou

Plenty of sources, it is not being suppressed. We even had a journalist shot and killed. Look up Robert Bas, Bart Mos, Joost de Haas, Bas van Hout, Koen Voskuil, Peter R de Vries. Yet The Netherlands is in third place for World Press Freedo

The Netherlands in the recent past has detained journalists on multiple occasions but you never read about that. Absolute horrible for a “free” country.

I understand wanting to control how your code is used, that’s completely fair. Most open source licenses, though, are written to permit broad usage, and explicitly prohibiting AI training can be tricky legally. That said, it’s interesting h

Wow. A device in 2025 with a non-detachable USB-A cable? That sounds like a horrible design decision from both a repairability and future-proofing standpoint. My keyboard has a USB-C port on the side so you can plug in whatever cable you wa

Isn't that more due to the Bluetooth hardware used and implementation on the OS side? On macOS I never had flakyness with Bluetooth keyboards but on Windows my experience was significantly worse.

by systemtest 9mo ago
I assume you are talking about legacy devices? I haven't purchased a keyboard in the past ten years with USB-A. Everything is USB-C for charging/data and Bluetooth.

Perhaps because Framework users are a bit more geeky and are more likely to use older hardware that still has USB-A? USB-A is like what DB9 was. Easy to use, easy to plug-in, used on most devices. But there comes a point in time where we mo

Agreed, though for the sake of ergonomics I hardly use the built-in keyboard and almost always have an external keyboard connected.

Exactly. I have a high-speed USB-C disk connected to my machine and an off-site backup. The first is for accidentally deleted files and to be able to quickly recover. The other is more of an actual backup. My iPhone and MacBook are indeed e

Not just RAM and SSD. Displays can break. Power ports can break. USB-C ports can break. Keyboards can break. PCBs can break. And those take time to ship if you have a Dell, HP, Framework or even an Apple machine. I like being able to walk t

I work international (somewhat of a digital nomad) so perhaps I’m an outlier in my usage. I have an M1 MacBook Pro that I bought new at release. I can’t replace the memory or storage. But so far I didn’t need to do that. In case it breaks,

Would be cool if Framework would sell speakers, a display, trackpad and housing comparable in quality to a MacBook Pro. It would have a high pricetag but you could slowly upgrade your machine. Especially since swapping out speakers or a tra

You have roaming but sometimes it’s less data than at home. And you can’t use it for months on end. I have multiple sims from various EU countries. When I visit I top up.

I find research like this a bit confusing. "Providing people with unconditional monthly payments improves mental well-being" feels almost self-evident. Most people’s mental health would improve with more financial security. I have

2003 is 22 years ago. The events in the game take place 16 years in the past. I feel nostalgic for Vice City the same way people felt nostalgic for the 80s when the game was released.

Vice City was originally planned as an add-on to GTA III. Development time was 18 months. Incredible that they put out such a great game in so little time.

I had a lot of hobby projects. Some home automation. Some would scrape websites for archival purposes. Maybe a seedbox and an arr-stack. Total monthly cost of a bit over €60 for all of them. Didn't really add anything to my life and th
