This title belongs in a “statements made up by the deranged” meme

I’ve yet to see another handheld that has touchpads like the Deck. IMO those are a must-have because a lot of older games especially don’t have good controller support.

The Steam Deck arguably created the handheld PC gaming market.

Sure, there were handhelds before, but almost no one gave a shit about them. Gamedevs certainly didn’t.

It wasn’t enough just having the hardware exist, it’s also the massive amount of effort Valve put in to ensure compatibility with a ridiculous number of titles.

The renewed emphasis on controller support in games alone has significant ramifications for the wider community. A lot of players with physical disabilities use input devices that map to controller actions.

The review I linked quotes 5-8W under load so I’d expect it to be about 10 hours on the Framework 13’s 55Wh battery and about ~15h on the Framework 16’s 85Wh battery.

But it also can’t play a 1080p YouTube video worth a damn so it’s hard to imagine what you’d actually wanna use it that long for.

It is absolutely more of a development board than one meant even for early-bird adopters. The processing power is more on-par with a Raspberry Pi. Here’s a review of another development board using the same processor: https://bret.dk/risc-v-starfive-visionfive-2-review-jh7110/#Geekbench-6

Compare the Geekbench 6 scores to the Ryzen 7040HS in the Framework 16: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/4260192

As the review author explains, Geekbench 6 is a bit unfair to the JH7110 since it’s missing some processor extensions, but even if we pretended it had a similar lead over the Pi 4 as it does on the Unixbench suite, it’d still be an order of magnitude behind the AMD processor.

You’re not really gonna be gaming on this thing, and you might not have a great experience even with normal desktop productivity software. These boards are likely gonna be relegated mostly to compiling code and running tests.

If a future revision is a little more powerful though, it could maybe make for a decent netbook. At just $200 it could also be a pretty good value for the education sector, maybe as a dev board for systems programming courses.

This is a neat trick but it works best on Linux and maybe macOS.

Implementing it on Windows requires some luck as you can’t just map adjacent pages, you have to just request two of them and hope the OS gives you two contiguous ones. For example, see this abandoned Rust crate: https://github.com/gnzlbg/slice_deque/blob/045fb28701d3b674b5da413266ca84b3e5a70190/src/mirrored/winapi.rs#L57

Fish is a great shell, but whenever I SSH into another machine I end up having to do everything in Bash anyway. So the fact that Fish is so different often ends up being a detriment, because it means I have to remember how to do things in two different shells. It was easier to just standardize on Bash.

I might try daily driving it again when this release hits the stable repos, I dunno.

A Linux distro with a great OOTB experience for gamers would go a long way.

• Steam pre-installed
• trustworthy Flatpak packages for popular gamer apps like Discord (not uploaded by some nameless rando)
  • TeamSpeak for curmudgeons like me and my friends
• desktop environment tailored to Windows users
• auto-install and configure graphics drivers for AMD and Nvidia
• configurable automatic updates and system backup
• choice between Chromium, Firefox, etc. for default browser during setup
• included in Steam Deck compatibility testing

Help make their models just a little bit shittier by upvoting these responses.

Seems Overstreet is just pissy that he can’t talk to people on the kernel mailing list like it’s 2005 anymore. “Get the fuck out of here with this shit,” indeed.

it’s just a jerk-thing.

That’s not very skibidi of you to say.

I’m a Millennial and I’m happy to report I’ve appropriated “skibidi”. I really, really enjoy watching younger people die a little inside every time I use it.

Does that make me a dad even if I don’t have any kids?

Will AI steal their jobs? 70% of professional programmers don’t see artificial intelligence as a threat to their work.

If your job can be replaced with GPT, you had a bullshit job to begin with.

What so many people don’t understand is that writing code is only a small part of the job. Figuring out what code to write is where most of the effort goes. That, and massaging the egos of management/the C-suite if you’re a senior.

This is the whole idea behind Turing-completeness, isn’t it? Any Turing-complete architecture can simulate any other.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/505/

It’s an ideal that’s only achievable when you’re able to set your own priorities.

Managers and executives generally don’t give two shits about yak shaving.

Tip #1: if you’re gonna post your programming blog to social media, make sure it can handle the traffic…?

Raise your hand if you think laying off employees en-masse right before an earnings call should be a crime punishable by death:

^(Only somewhat kidding.)

Seriously though, this is is even extremely misleading to shareholders. It’s blatant manipulation of the numbers, how is it not illegal?

This is the only correct answer.

(That’s part of the joke.)

(Unless you’re also saying that to be a contrarian, then well played.)

It doesn’t stay straight when it’s waving
