    Graphics Card Recommendations?

    Here's a question for you clowns: why the hell do you keep necrobumping a thread from 3 years ago with the same bloody advice? Just how long do you think the op is busy building that computer?

    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    How does he even have time for all that? In fact... Are those really posts made by him, or is that just a sort of AI script that sends out at least writes some things he would like to say? Edit:... And not a single mention of the Iran war or the economy. For those thinking he's not living in a...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    Better question: where they ever interested in freedo of speech to begin with? Rightwing media has been narrating, peddling and covertly subverting any other agenda since at least 9/11, and the whole 'woke' /cancel culture criticism is hard to see it as anything but an excuse for racism. So no...

    Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

    I genuinely don't know whether to be sad or glad that the stream deck instantly sells out. Kind of hard to declare gaming dead when the hardware flies off the shelves like that. :D My mind already conjures bedazzled valve employees saying something like 'we just priced it a tad higher so we...

    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    From another thread, but perhaps the clearest admission of mental decline: So he got a third "annual" medical checkup made, and by the looks of it, he's totally oblivious as to why he has to make a test that my six year old can pass.

    Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

    My main question here is 'how does it compare to the competition now?'. The deck created a market for portable pc gamers (or rather: brought it out of the niche), with copycats that had better specs for more money. No upgrades now isn't just sad news but could make it irrelevant, especially if...

    2026 is the Year of AI

    Barely a month later and AI was used to find three critical vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. It's getting hard for code maintainers to keep up.

    Counter terrorism agency issues warning DHS is inciting violence.

    I as going up say the same thing. It's not exactly "infiltrating" when they're the main audience. I'm more shocked by the implication that there might be non-supremacists in ice. Oh and if history repeats itself, it would mean something like Churchill warning that German nationalists were...

    One of last trump critics purged

    I understand, but again: is he kicked out of the party, or outvoted? I don't want to play devil's advocate, but there's a clear difference, no? :) No dispute here. Okay...I apologize. I must've had a wrong first impression on him, as I thought/presumed he was mostly silent on things. Sorry...

    One of last trump critics purged

    I don't really get why it's called "purged", but perhaps my English isn't that great. Massie got outvoted, that's all. In a race among republicans, so...did anyone really expected different? I don't even agree with labeling him as "a critic", as he agreed with pretty much anything but the...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    Just heard from Jamie Raskin in a podcast that the fund would effectively make millionaires out of everyone who raided the Capitol. He also mentioned that that board of peace is essentially a slush fund. Trumps the president for life on that one, and there's no oversight whatsoever to where the...

    Is it still necessary to make a closed gaming system?

    Agree with the first part, not with the second. Linux gaming doesn't have the player numbers, but they've got roughly everything else. * in the nineties, less than 5% of games were playable. Nowadays, it's less than 5% that ISN'T playable * drivers and ease of use were a pain on Linux once...

    Trump warns Taiwan against declaring independence, hours after summit with China's Xi

    It's not like Trump makes it hard to be blackmailed. From what I gather, those gold-plated "America first" Trump phones are in reality just China-produced budget phones. All Xi has to do after these things are in rotation is have an update pushed that puts "proudly made in China" on the screens...

    New poll finds a majority of Americans unsure if attempts on Trump's life were real

    This is a thread about attempts at killing Donald Trump. Feel free to make other threads when democrats do similar things. By doing it here, it's as if you're trying to deflect the consensus rather than making a point. :)

    Is it still necessary to make a closed gaming system?

    The steam controller selling out isn't an indication of anything except maybe that valve is more popular than they can scale. But all the steam decks combined have sold less than eg the wiiu, and despite Linux being "more popular than ever" it still hovers around the 5% market share. It has more...
