I’m genuinely curious about this too. I’ve found Fedora to be such a nice OS to use, I’d be devastated if big blue’s corpo greed destroys it.

Where does it say new product? I read their announcement and get the impression that it’s an update to an existing product:

“We’ve got one more big update for you, and you can tune into our YouTube channel August 26th at 8am PT to see what it is!”

Actually I disagree. Using a Steam Deck docked in desktop mode I was able to run out of memory by playing Minecraft while having one browser tab open (YouTube) and Discord.

I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that the SteamDeck's 16GB of LPDDR5 is both VRAM and system memory and the Steam Deck dynamically allocates it based on need.

And that's before we even consider doing something wacky like using the Steam Deck for Dev work or 3D modeling or other more "normal computer" uses.

Would you look at that - the pipeline is green now! Quick everybody, merge your stuff while it's stable (/s) (sadly a true story tho)

Bold of you to assume that the line can’t go up further… just think of all those poor shareholders missing out on an even higher value! 😩

Isn’t 6.9% unemployment still really high? 😬

Valve has been moving slow and steady, but it seems like a master plan for Steam Machines could finally be coming into focus.

Honestly if Valve launched a new Steam Machine today, I’d buy it in an instant.

So the author of the blog post that the article is based off of actually interacted with some comments over on Hacker News and there were some pretty interesting revelations - such as his resume having Vibecoding as the first skill listed on it and living/looking for jobs on the East Coast with a website sounding like he's on the West Coast among other things.

I guess the media saw his blog post as a quick means of driving clicks through a clickbait headline. That's not to say that the market isn't hot trash at the moment, but I personally doubt Engineers are being replaced by AI.

Various messages in the ongoing “Canada Invasion” Signal thread include: • plans to invade Vancouver and Toronto simultaneously, “because they’re right next to each other” • a refusal to include Danielle Smith in the text chain due to the Alberta Premier “being too pick-me”

I’m howling 🤣🤣🤣

I'd be interested to see the performance jump on a Zen 5 (or Xeon) CPU given that Zen 4 does that "double pump" approach to AVX512.

I laughed way too hard at this. God damn the Beaverton is just on fire these days...

Honestly the Boycott had me going to my local bakery, butcher and farmers market. In some ways it’s surprisingly cheaper and in some ways it’s a little (and I mean little) bit more expensive but knowing that my money is going to my local community / farmers is 100,000% worth it. Haven’t had to go back since.

So I really feel you on that; nok er nok
