I’m afraid you’re right.
My comment was meant to sound tongue-in-cheek.

Wen consumer mainboards with HBM?

So many parallels with the dot-com bubble and so much FOMO.
But the computer hardware shortage / price skyrocketing caused by the AI bros is a really bad extra.

Maybe an unusual take, but I use the SD in desktop mode for working.
The USB-C supports Display Port, so I have 2 external monitors connected and keyboard as well as mouse obviously.
With another USB-C powered portable monitor as alternative it’s an even kinda portable setup.

Aaaaaand it’s sold out again: https://www.ign.com/articles/the-steam-deck-is-sold-out-again-even-after-the-huge-price-rise

It sucks that the SD got more expensive, but your calculation about relevant component price hikes is spot-on.
Blaming Valve for that is a kind of victim blaming, because Valve would love to bring even more users in their eco-system through affordable hardware that just works.

Steam Deck and SteamOS are no walled garden.
That’s the difference.
Feel free to run Bazzite on the SD, or even Windows, lol.

If all my Steam games are gone, I continue playing games from my GOG library through Heroic Games Launcher.
Again, see: no walled garden.

A: criminals.

Why stop at the penis?

How do you not live up to oil?
Is using reneawable energy sources a way to do that?
If yes, that’s good.

Sounds like you’re letting ‘perfect’ be the enemy ‘good’.
An OS not being abused by Google or Apple to corral users is good enough for me.
I couldn’t care less whether it’s proprietary in this case.

Give me a fully open source phone, that’s capable of being a daily driver without funneling data to Google or Apple and we’re talking!
How nice that people can have different requirements for their phones 😉

Why not letting him enter, but arrest him then?

…as would the users…

Socialism is what most people love, yet some in all but name.

Quoting myself from another post with that topic:
Mamdani’s plans and actions are almost too good to be true, but true they are and they are more than a silver lining for a lot of people.
People like him are so desperately needed in the world of robber billionaires enslaving the whole world.
Those robber billionaires might not realize that yet, but people like Mamdani are going to save their lives by nibbling at their looted fortune.
And if the Mamdanis of this world fail, we can always resort to eating the billionaires.

The sea doesn’t bill by the hour.

I know how to reverse that ‘irreversible’ price spike…

Boost. Apparently there’s a setting I wasn’t aware of.

Plants need direct light to grow… most need full sun.

That’s only true, if the solar panels are not properly adjusted to this use case.
The solution for that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics#Spectrally_selective_modules
