5 days agoComputer based art was being used to sell books in bookstores 40 years ago.
They didn’t really sell well, and now, barely anyone remembers it was a thing.

In the 80s, comic book art was produced entirely with computer based art tools. It didn’t raise an eyebrow beyond “Oh, that’s neat!”

101·15 days agoI’d think, at least for the existing Steam Decks, it would involve some kind of internal modification as well since they don’t do charging like this.
Well, from the Steam Deck tech specs page:
Processor
6 nm AMD APU
CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz (1.6 TFlops FP32) APU power: 4-15W
RAM 16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM (6400 MT/s quad 32-bit channels)
Then what we know about the Steam Machine, also from the tech specs page:
CPU Semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C / 12T up to 4.8 GHz, 30W TDP
GPU Semi-Custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs 2.45GHz max sustained clock, 110W TDP
RAM 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
See how they run on the Steam Deck and then consider the Steam Machine is apparently 6x more powerful.
Baldur’s Gate 3:
Clair Obscure:
Cyberpunk:
Jedi Fallen Order:
Jedi Survivor:
Transport Tycoon Deluxe:
I can see unplugging the Raspberry Pi in the bedroom and replacing it with the Steam Machine.
I mean, I find my Steam Deck powerful enough and this is, what, 6x over the Steam Deck?
I could deal with the text size, but the controller mapping was a pain.
Usually I see them because there’s a super flaky user who creates new accounts, makes a bunch of posts in a variety of groups, then self deletes their account for some reason orphaning their posts.
So I get to remove a bunch of otherwise worthwhile posts because the user killed their account. Not sure what they think they’re accomplishing.
I think it drops off after a week? Yours was created on the 8th, so sometime after the 15th?

“Your chicken salad is just ‘salad’.”
They apologized and refunded it.
Appears to be the same on the 2025:

According to the manual, there are 2 USB ports, a USB A port for power and a USB C port for media.

Have you tried the other port?
Won’t help with titles like Destiny 2 which require Windows.
That’s been a joke in the Playstation community for years now:
“Stability Improvements.”
Well, shit, we must have the most stable system in the universe at this point…

We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.
AI is a little bit more complicated than that due to the flaws that pop up in generating.
For example, here are some AI comic books that were created. What the author did was write the overall story, then used an AI prompt to create each panel of the comic.
Each panel took dozens to hundreds of attempts, out of which the author made the artistic decision to choose the best one.

“The Lesson” is probably my favorite of the bunch, but they’re free to download, check them out.
