    I want to create an OS

    No, you have to make some minor change(s) which makes it both better and worse than the predecessor and comparable alternatives so users struggle to decide on which distro is best for them.

    Hardware I NEED HELP MY SWITCH 2 SCREEN GOT DOT!

    I had something like this happen on a TV, had to replace the LED backlights to fix it.

    Do we think AI and robots will take over?

    Right now it feels like we're heading towards a combination of 'Max Headroom' cyberpunk dystopia and Futurama 'everyone is stupid' future. Previously my concerns were about the accuracy of AI, people abusing it and/or not fact checking the output....these days I'm more annoyed because of the...

    Xbox to increase in price again in August, Series S set to hit $500

    Well the mods ask ChatGPT to give us some good news but it struggled to even hallucinate anything.

    Palworld 1.0 is officially out!

    So what's the SP actually like? For comparison, I've been enjoying Pokemon ZA so far despite it's repetitiveness, having not played Pokémon since Fire Red, so I kind of like the idea of 'Pokemon but I'm an arsehole trainer'. To be clear, I don't care at all for MP.

    25th anniversary of GameBoy Advance. What are your best memories?

    Yoshi's Island/SMA3 saved my sanity, on one trip to the US as a kid my mum got addicted to Lifetime Movies and we only had 1 TV in the room. Bearing in mind this was pre-smartphone, etc.

    how long until xbox and nintendo go all digital

    I was going to make a serious post but then noticed this was EoF. Nintendo is always around 5-10 years behind but I expect game key cards to become dominant, at least among third parties because they can't be arsed to install 7zip and compress their games. Microslop will abandon physical media...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    So are we still complaining about game key cards?

    PlayStation is permanently discontinuing physical games

    Suddenly I'm appreciating game key cards more. Not necessarily, so long as they're treated like current physical media is there's a chance retail will still get cheaper, quicker than the PS store. Doesn't help that Sony has a monopoly on digital sales as of now so it's hard to judge and so...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Unless I missed something, I'm not seeing a QVL for the PS5, only basic requirements. Valve for the Steam Deck literally made a video where they said they don't recommend opening it up whilst doing a disassembly how to and AFAIK never made a QVL for SSDs. So I'm expecting something similar for...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    The whole point of EXPO is that it's simple to set, granted said stupidity. Although again if they're that stupid the question becomes whether they should be upgrading their system at all. You're also still presuming there is a QVL, AFAIK there isn't one nor is there a guarantee there will be...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    You'd really hate my typical customer, if I mentioned to them even half the things you discuss I might as well be speaking in Latin.....ok getting them to RTFM can also be a challenge. Again I'm going off the idea that the SM is aimed at people new to PC gaming, so things like QVLs (if they're...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    That may not be a good idea, for example, if it there are compatibility issues between the stock and the new stick. Bearing in mind that I constantly hear people insist that this is intended for console gamers entering the PC space, so they may not know about things like XMP. Frankly, it just...

    Now I've got Two Tribes stuck in my head, more specifically the line: "Mine is the last Voice that you will ever hear, don't be alarmed".
