Perfect. Thanks for being curious enough to actually look 😜

Nothing they wrote indicates to me that they didn’t understand the post is satire. It seems to me like they are just adding information and context that people may not know

I would assume they replaced it with an SVG that is rasterized on demand instead of a very high resolution rasterized image.

In terms of coding effort, just replacing a PNG is the easiest, but it’s also the least correct solution, imo.

Yes, of course it is

The point is it’s not just speed of the delivery method, it’s amount of data per delivery. You can average it to bit/second, but you also have to understand that driving 100 TB 5,000 km means no data for the entire drive/flight and then all the data all at once.

This is exactly right. He doesn’t care about electromagnetic or steam aircraft launch systems. He cares about adding costs so he can launder money to himself.

I love jokes that are just taking things literally. No, I’m not a kleptomaniac.

Me neither

You are so close to being right, and yet, so far away.

Thanks. Nice emails you got there. I can’t believe there are so many unread! How do you live like this?

Oh, the memories

So many LAN parties playing C&C Generals. Those were the days.

That’s not at all what I said.

I made the claim that it’s not a good choice for specifically PC gamers. I then gave a few reasons why.

It can’t play all of the games in its own store (even at 1080p, some games do not reliably hit at least 30 fps on it). The CPU and GPU are not upgradable. It lacks USB 4, so cannot be upgraded externally with an eGPU.

If the argument is that it’s good for people that want a console-like experience, I’d still disagree, because with a console you are guaranteed to be able to play all games that support the console. SteamOS is great for people who want a console-like experience. The Steam Machine really is not.

Yes, but it’s marketed as also just a PC. Yet, it cannot be upgraded and you cannot use an eGPU. This makes it a terrible choice for PC gamers.

The thing about consoles is that they can be guaranteed to play all the games that are available for them at 30 fps minimum, but more often 60 fps or greater. The thing about the Steam Machine is that it certainly cannot play all the games available to it even just from the Steam store itself. On top of that, it is not at all upgradable so you’re stuck never being able to play those games on this “console.” The whole point of the Steam Machine was to be a dedicated gaming PC that also feels like a console. They have thoroughly missed the mark on that.

You will soon see people who “just want to connect and play” complaining that they cannot play the game they want to on the Steam store, and cannot even upgrade their PC to be able to play it.

My main issue with it is that’s it’s not upgradable and does not support eGPUs.

Tried that too - that one’s actually really nice. I just didn’t like that it feels somewhat mystical.

I’ve tried CBT, DBT, REBT, and ACT. ACT and Stoicism are what helped me the most - CBT and DBT the least.

Shouldn’t it be “anum”?

Where do I get me some POT-ON???
