  • A record number of Americans are anxious about health care costs going into next year

    Jump

  • I could opt out, but with it not being just me I would not feel right doing that. My wife has a lot of issues so she is in and out of doctors and hospitals monthly. On top of that my 1 kid also has services covered by insurance. Sadly I am sure it would definitely cost me more if I stopped coverage. If it was just me I would consider doing that, although having no insurance here means you have to pay a penalty when you do your taxes. I have no idea how much that is.

  • Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk

  • Why not use LTSC instead? It shouldn't include many of these changes it has done or will do. I know since windows 10 the separation between workstation and server has deepened and I believe app compatability is less due to it. I even remember a few apps I wanted to install on server wouldnt let me unless I buy a business license because it detected I was using server and assumed I was a business because of the OS.

  • A record number of Americans are anxious about health care costs going into next year

  • I am just straight up pissed more than anxious. I've been with the same place for 20 years and have seen it all. The last 8 years have been about the same which was around $450 a month for a family of 4. I can't really complain at all about that. This year alone? They addressed it right away warning us. We'll after signing up for the same tier, which is now worse in every way as well, it's now $1300 a month. So this place that has barely given any raises in the past 5 years is now actively taking away an extra $1k a month extra starting next year for a service worse than i get now. Im nervous and angry and just not sure what to do exactly.

  • Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

    Jump

  • Oh, I agree. My price is just speculation. Also, Xbox is done. They had a handful of exclusives this year that, as far as I saw, were nothing to sell systems over, and from the looks of it, only Fable is set for next year. As soon as I saw them jump ship with a console and finally share their best games like gears of war, I knew it would only be a matter of time.

    That handheld is also windows only and to late to the party, and your right they just went full pc only at a price nobody will pay when you can probably get your own pc that will have little difference. They will be with Sega soon enough and probably use the companies they purchased to continue creating games for everyone else and maybe just focus on the windows store for semi exclusivity after the pc thing fizzles out.

  • Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Amazon is cracking down on illegal streaming on its Fire TV Stick

    Jump

  • 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?

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • 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.

    “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”.

  • [Pop Rock] Percy Thrillington - Thrillington

    Jump

  • It's a great album by Paul McCartney. I stumbled upon this a few decades ago and thought it was a great project, especially since I had no clue.

    Taken from wiki: "Thrillington is an album produced by the English musician Paul McCartney, under the pseudonym Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. It was released in April 1977 in the UK and in May 1977 in the US. It is an instrumental covers album of Paul and Linda McCartney's 1971 album Ram."

  • George RR Martin’s publisher defends new Game of Thrones book amid AI artwork claims

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console

    Jump

  • 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.

  • George RR Martin’s publisher defends new Game of Thrones book amid AI artwork claims

    Jump

  • 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.

  • George RR Martin’s publisher defends new Game of Thrones book amid AI artwork claims

    Jump

  • 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.
