On the one hand, i get it. It will be for enthusiasts only if that’s the case. On the other hand, I feel like for the amount of profit this company brings in, I am a little shocked that they don’t even try to cut the price back a bit to sell more. I guess whats the point when you don’t even have to do this at all and it sounds like the entire project is just a fun way to spend some time seeing what you can come up with and sharing that with the people that can afford to buy cool things.

It doesn’t specify what apps… how broad will this be? The good news is i was already looking for alternatives a few months ago, and I think i see a few that will be a better solution anyway. Screw Amazon, and i hope they underestimate the percentage of people that only use this for those reasons. From everyone I know, I am pretty sure none of them use it for just legitimate reasons. I dont even use it for illegal streaming, but will they consider apps like plex, emby, and jellyfin as potential threats?

The article i saw a few days ago specifically mentioned that they didn’t really talk about the price but when asked if it would cost more than the ps5 pro they didnt really say no and only offered that it will be priced accordingly to the hardware used to make it. To me, that most likely means it’s going to cost around $1k. The absolute max is would ever be willing to pay is like $600. I have no doubt it will sell, but at that $1k price, they will severely limit the group of people that will be buying it. Honestly, if that is the cost, they should be shying away from even associating it as a console and just market it as a PC due to how people think.

“Well I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed and ready, and everything else, and, you know, no men anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it, you know, I’m inspecting, I want to make sure everything is good.

“You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone ok?’ You know they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that”.

Misery loves company.

Me, me, me, me is all I hear. He is this upset over this and vows to spend a lot of time reversing it as quickly as possible for something that affects 8 people, it says in the article. Yet fighting for American citizens’ healthcare doesn’t seem to phase him or any of them. Priorities, I guess.

Or Red Lobster.

This article is about people not believing the cover is real. You think as soon as you start labeling just AI pics people won’t just assume the ones that aren’t weren’t lying without being verified? And yeah, it is absurd, but if you really believe people won’t think that way, then I guess you have more faith in them than I do.

It looks cool, but to me, if it’s not being offered for around $500, then it’s just a pc replacement in my eyes. From the questions he asked, it definitely seems like it’s going to cost more than $800.

Good timing though, get your system out first before the next generation starts releasing at the end of next year or 2027. From what I have seen, the first to release generally does the best.

My problem seems to be how much it talks about the ps5. It’s been 5 years, so of course, better hardware can fit into smaller space. My problem with that is generally any hardware that compacts it this much will run into heating issues a few years into owning it so I would absolutely prefer the bigger ps5 anyday which has shown no issues so far. Also, they were comparing it to the ps5 alot which is a 5 year old system. I would hope it does significantly better!

I also would like to know more about the OS. Is it just the steam deck OS slapped on this, or is it customized more? I would want/hope they deliver the things that a console offers and more that make it more convenient than just a PC.

Overall, I am interested in this, but if it really does costs as much as I think it will, I am not sure who this will ultimately be marketed to, and I could be wrong, but I doubt it will sell enough for them to say it was a success lets make more. They do have the money to throw at it though, so I guess that was enough for them to take a stab at it after the success of the steam deck.

So do only AI pics come with watermarks or do all things now need to come with a real and not real label. You pick up a book, and it has a label across the cover saying not generated by AI. Will there be a board created for people to certify its authenticity? Will that now cost people extra to have this verified? Yeah, that sounds great. Instead of simplifying things, it sounds like it just gets harder and harder like usual.

Honestly, I thought it is actually not allowed in a lot of states to live in your car.

No, my problem is that we are at the point where we probably need to put labels on everything to officially certify it’s not AI. Otherwise, everyone will just claim its AI.

Obviously, if the choice was no AI at all, then, of course, that should be the standard, but that’s never going to happen ever again.

This timeline sucks… we really have to answer to people who suspect something may be AI now because it’s too hard to tell sometimes? I kind of wish I was an artist, I would be adding extra fingers to everything just to get a reaction.

The best mod would be changing it from batteries to a cell phone style rechargeable battery. At least then I wouldn’t care as much of how quick it dies since im not replacing a ton of batteries every day. Even rechargeable ones, you still gotta take them out and put them back, which is annoying as well.

I miss mine as well. I remember as a kid our grandmother got me and a few cousins it for Xmas one year. I also remember breaking it the following year during a parent kid picnic at school where it got crushed. I still remember it, which says a lot because I have very few memories from way back then!

Edit: of course they made this mod! If I ever find one for cheap I would love to do this just as a hobby.

Watching the Mamdani election play out was wild. Seeing the biggest challenge being 2 people from the same side argue and talk crap for months was disgusting. Siding with Trump on top of it all because of how scared they were. They were so desperate they had no choice but to not even pretend anymore, like when Biden magically started winning against Bernie in 2020. The next 10 years will be even weirder as more people catch on.

Apparently towards French people.

The only one I dont mind is serious eats. Mostly because it tells you more or even the scientific reason why this recipe works.

Miss, your shirt has a slur on it. Which one is it? Um, it’s all of them.

As someone who never saw Instagram before yesterday, I was a little shocked at just how much crap was AI generated and just useless fake content. I kept hearing how bad AI was, but until I saw just how bad I really had no idea. I imagine reddit is getting closer to this exact model soon enough.

As someone who loves music and listens to it every chance I get, I honestly never got into using headphones and walking. It just doesn’t feel right to me. I am also very attentive to my surroundings, and if I feel like I don’t know what’s exactly going on, I really don’t like that feeling. It may also be a generational thing? Im in my 40s, and the headphone market was a bit different 20 years ago when I was younger, and none of that really appealed to me. I never even had an iPod, I owned a zune lol.
