  • Don't crucify me

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I was trying to get across. Either you have to do a lot of research or youre doing a "pre-built" configuration. At that point what Valve is offering is at least equal to other pre-built concepts.

  • Don't crucify me

    Jump

  • I feel like the biggest thing everyone always overlooks is the amount of researchyou need to do to build a PC. Understanding what motherboard, ram, cpu, and gpu will let you play the games you want is not very clear, especially now we have AMD making good cpus and Intel making Gpus.

    The naming conventions are all over the place and the specs on what's best and what's compatible is opaque at times.

    Building the PC is easy, but making sure you didn't waste your money by buying a motherboard that won't work on the next generation of chips or you misunderstood the 10+ gpu models distributed by multiple different distributors is also easy.

  • Programmers are no longer needed!

    Jump

  • My point was the investment in vs the value out may not be worth it for many projects. Beyond that, it may not be maintainable for all projects (at least with how fast things have been changing in this space and the heavy reliance on 3rd party systems to make it work).

  • Steam Deck lead reveals Valve is funding ARM compatibility of Windows games “to expand PC gaming” and release “ultraportables” in the future

    Jump

  • I think there point is that Linux support hasn't really increased Linux native games. It's possible it's even hurt it as they can just develop for one platform - windows.

  • Programmers are no longer needed!

    Jump

  • While you're right that it's a new technology and not everyone is using it right, if it requires all of that setup and infrastructure to work then are we sure it provides a material benefit. Most projects never get that kind of attention at all, to require it for AI integration means that currently it may be more work than it's worth.

  • Object Relational Mapping can be helpful when dealing with larger codebases/complex databases for simply creating a more programmatic way of interacting with your data.

    I can't say it is always worth it, nor does it always make things simpler, but it can help.

  • We turn the HVAC "up" whether we want it colder or warmer.

    Jump

  • I mean, it kinda depends on your mental model. If you think the AC is "low" as in not running a lot you can turn it "up" so it's making things colder.

  • White House to propose significant rollback in fuel economy standards, sources say

    Jump

  • While I'm generally pro regulation, that's not true. You can absolutely over regulate an industry or put out regulations that are bad.

    For example NIMBY regulations that prevent multi-family units from being constructed or in NJ breweries can't sell food (due to weird alcohol laws/regulations).

  • US air travelers without REAL IDs will be charged a $45 fee

    Jump

  • I've also argued if it's that's the case, then just pay for all Americans to be "pre-screened" and get rid of 80% of the TSA. That would have to save a huge amount of money.

    But TSA is most likely a mixture of a jobs program and easy way to send people kickbacks.

  • India’s government backs down after Apple refuses order to preinstall app

    Jump

  • They're not, India could have escalated, but it seems like there wasn't the political will for it.

    Apple basically just called their bluff which, given the general sentiment about this situation, seems to have been a bit obvious.

  • Linux continues to grow and has reached a new peak of 3.20% in the November 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey

    Jump

  • To add another layer, I actually run it as a container - Steam Headless

  • Oh! Here is terminal for you

    Jump

  • Theyve been rolling out intellisense for the terminal in Vscode, it's completely breaking tab complete for me.

  • Linux continues to grow and has reached a new peak of 3.20% in the November 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey

    Jump

  • I have one machine where I run steam as a headless instance as I just use it for remoteplay to the TV.

  • [Opinion] AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles

    Jump

  • All of them. If you're seeing sources cited, it means it's a RAG (LLM with extra bits). The extra bits make a big difference as it means the response is limited to a select few points of reference and isn't comparing all known knowledge on a subject matter.

  • IRS Agents to Review OnlyFans Content to Determine if It’s ‘Pornographic’

    Jump

  • Almost like the "Big Beautiful Bill's" language wasn't very well thought out.

    I mean, why exclude this random subsection of work in the first place.

  • Netflix kills casting from phones

    Jump

  • Thanks for the details, seems like that may be why the older Chromecasts are still supported.

  • Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs

    Jump

  • I'm aware, I was just pointing out that Costco is more of a household name (and much larger company).

    Costco is apparently the third largest retailer in the world. . So it's a slightly bigger deal when they sue over the tariffs.

  • Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs

    Jump

  • I didn't say they weren't known, just that Costco is certainly the most known (for the US). If you just look at revenue Kawasaki has 5% of the footprint of Costco and Revlon hasn't posted anything since it's bankruptcy in 2023 (from what I could find). Revenue might not directly relate to if a company is a household name, but I think it gives a general sense.

    Also, I was just noting that Costco is a bigger name. All the companies listed are notable.

  • Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs

    Jump

  • From the bottom of the article:

    Global cosmetics giant Revlon, eyeglass maker EssilorLuxottica, motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki, canned foods seller Bumble Bee, Japanese auto supplier Yokohama Tire and many smaller firms have also filed similar suits.

    That probably does make Costco the most "known" company to sue.
