    See, this is the kind of data collection I’m okay with. When it’s to genuinely help make the product I’m using better and not just to line someone’s pockets or feed the algorithm.

    Valve aren’t perfect - they can make mistakes, too - but it fucking shows when someone up top actually cares about what they’re doing.

    I sincerely hope that Gaben has a worthy prodigy lined up for when he’s no longer in charge.








  • Now I don’t know enough about electronics to know how wrong this is, but I do know enough about electronics to know that this absolutely sounds wrong.

    The problem comes when someone takes an answer like this, knowing far less than I do, and they try and hook up their fridge to a car battery.

    And this is why I hate LLMs. Being confidently wrong is scary enough when it’s just people, nevermind technology.

    It does make me chuckle, though, that Skynet could have been totally innocent in their destruction of the human race, they just confidently came to the wrong conclusion and had the tools to carry it out.

    Like a toddler whose inner thoughts are telling him to throw a cat out of the window. He doesn’t know he’s going to kill it, he just knows that’s what his brain is telling him to do.


  • I’ve been playing games such as Dirt Rally which isn’t even on the store anymore. It’s not verified on the Deck, citing small writing may be hard to read. The only small writing was on the opening titles - the rest of the game works brilliantly. I was expecting some kind of issues, but nope, not a single one!

    In some ways it’s even replacing my desktop. Having a wireless mouse/keyboard connected and the deck docked, I can easily play games like Civilization which has a big incompatible rating 🚫 next to it on the store. I can play party games locally with friends by docking the deck and connecting some Xbox pads to it. It’s been one of the best buys of recent years!
