This seems to blur the lines between desktop and mobile APU’s, but I would bet that’s it’s closer to a higher clocked mobile chip, than it is to desktop. The only reason I think this is the case is due to the similarity spec wise with the Max 385, and that it’s semi-custom.

If it was just a 7600x CPU + 7600 GPU I think they would have just said so. It could be separate CPU+GPU, but I think it might be possible that it is built more like a SOC, where the GPU is just given its own dedicated VRAM.

Looking at the hardware of say a PS5, it has 16 GB of GDRR6, the same as the Steam Machine’s VRAM.

If everything is soldered anyway, there is no reason to have separate chips for CPU+GPU, especially if that hardware already exists like the AMD Ryzen AI Max line.

This thing has pretty interesting hardware:

The chip almost looks like a cut down AMD Ryzen AI Max 385, but with fewer CPU cores and GPU CUs, but the GPU gets its own dedicated VRAM, rather than sharing it, like it does in something like a Framework Desktop.

It also seems like it gets a decent amount of power, so likely at higher clock speeds, performance should be pretty good for not that much money. If this is supposed to be a console then it can’t be much more than a PS5 at $550 or PS5 Pro at $750.

No it doesn’t, so that’s why I didn’t speculate on the cause. But the statistics don’t lie, and you’d be a fool for assuming you’d be the exception.

As for speculation, guns are tools of escalation. Pulling a gun on robber while half asleep can turn a robbery into a homicide. Not to mention all the stories of people who shoot at intruders who turn out to be police from a no knock warrant and inevitably kill someone.

But it doesn’t matter what the cause for it really is in the end. Owning guns don’t make you safe.

Statistically if you have a gun your risk of death by homicide doubles, and suicide rate triples citation.

Guns don’t make you safe. Dogs are a are an actually effective deterrent for example citation.

Try and flip the fantasies on their head.

Try looking for odd quirks and mannerisms that bother you and imagine how annoying it would be to be with a partner that does those things all the time.

Look for the particular ways they want to be cared for in the manner and how you would not be suitable to meet them, and that they might be happier with someone else.

Also just spend more time with them, and the infatuation will either fade or you’ll realize you do really like them, which is OK, let them know, and it’s OK if it’s not reciprocal (though this is actually quite hard as a lot of women are conditioned to not believe men who say this).

More like Sony doesn’t want to cannibalize selling their own dedicated Blu-ray players for a much higher profit margin.

A $100 bluray drive, an Ugoos am6, and coreelec can get play everything for way less than a high end bluray player that can cost $1000.

Shame it doesn’t support dolby vision though.

I’m confused, that looks like an m.2 slot, and it’s not like it could really be anything else. Msata is a dead standard and looks quite different. The slot would be too wide.

Imo coop is more similar to a single player game that you can play with other people. Baldurs gate is a rpg that you happen to be able to play with other people.

Another example would be deadspace 3.

Most PvE games on the other hand are not primarily story driven. Helldivers, deep rock galactic and such.

Something like left4dead covers both because its PvE but it also has a story.

Then games like palworld are more like survival MMOs. Coop in these games is more of an emergent gameplay, while in other coop games its essentially forced.

I don’t like putting these games together because story driven coop games are pretty rare, but PvE games don’t seem to be as rare.

Is it just me or is PvE distinct from co-op?

Helldivers is PvE

Baldurs gate is co-op

These are very different categories and experiences.

It’s funny how well linux works with printers, no stupid hp app, no configuration. Just hit print and done.

I wasn’t recommending it for that?

I said that it wouldn’t be good for streaming apps, like Netflix, and the previous comment was asking about Plex specifically.

Not for the shield, but there’s a Chinese device, Ugoos am6b+, that you can install coreelec on.

Coreelec is a linux os designed to run kodi, add a plex add on and it can play almost anything.

Any dolby vision profile, including the one that can usually only be played on bluray players. Any audio including TrueHD, dolby atmos, and DTS.

Sucks for streaming apps sadly, so you’d have to get another device like Apple TV or something.

It’s still free, just under a different plan named lite https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/

Yeah it’s annoying and shitty, but it’s not so bad.

Uh no? Cars have functions, and very real material costs that digital art does not.

How long until someone hacks a way to get some of those working anyway

To me it actually felt like a regression.

One of my favorite things in skyrim/oblivion/fallout 4 was environmental storytelling, and this just has none.

I just want to know when it’s going start being fun.

I browse all, and I just block communities that I find overly negative.

I like using a forest berry jam mix of Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Cranberries, and Strawberries.

It’s currently my favorite, but when I was a kid I liked strawberry preserves.
