Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026

is it really that more expensive? because unlike a console the steammachine doesnt require a subscription to play online. PS5+ is 150€ yearly just for that. granted, you get a game per month but the games you get are often games you wouldnt buy anyways. so with the current price of 900€ for a 2tb ps pro youll pay 900€. after 3 years the steam machine is cheaper.

One of the best deal on Steam right now.

its also cool if you have an unused gpu and a pcie-slot left since you can use that to run the frame generation instead of the main gpu.

frame gen always creates a little overhead that reduces the max frames a gpu cam natively render. you can offload this overhead to second gpu and may get a better result if the main gpu already struggles to get the required frames.

a friend of mine used that to be able to run monster hunter wilds with an acceptable framerate.

Tiny E-Reader Is the Best Piece of Technology in Years - The Atlantic

Reply in thread

article is hidden behind a paywall, so i can only speak about my experience with a standard ereader.

i love to read and not get distracted by something during that. a regular phone keeps getting me distracted and a e-ink display is way more pleasant to read than a regular screen imo. the main problem i keep running into is that my regular ereader is too big for most pockets which is the reason i dont have it with me most of the time.

soooo such a small reader would let me read at times and places where i would simply dont do anything at best or doomscroll at worst while i could also judt read a good book.

that being said i dont own such a small ereader and wont buy one because keeping two devices synced while reading a book would be either too much hazzle or simply impossible to do.

Auf dem Weg zur Volkspartei? Wie es für die Linke weitergeht

Reply in thread

Kriegsfantasien simpen und Verteidigung zu unterstützen sind zwei völlig unterschiedliche Dinge.

Und Kriege kann man nicht beenden, indem man die Opfer dieser nicht unterstützt. Im Gegenteil: wäre die Ukraine in den geplanten 3 Tagen gefallen, wäre dieser Konflikt zu 100% nicht der letzte, der durch Russland angezetelt wird. Das hat nichts mit Kriegsgeilheit zu tun, sondern genau dem Gegenteil von dessen.

Und genau das kapiert weder die Linke in Deutschland, noch ähnliche Ableger in Österreich, wie z.B. die KPÖ.

What WM or DE are you using now?

Reply in thread

Gnome Vanilla is really not that good. But with Extensions and Gnome Tweaks its usable.

Gnome Tweaks enables the minimize button and Extensions enable pretty much everything one could ask for.

I prefer the simplified UI of Gnome to the thousands of options that KDE offers out of the box. But KDE is a really good DE and i used it without problems over a year.

EV Drivers Are Happier With Their Cars Than Gas Car Owners: Study

Reply in thread

im driving a ev for 2 years now and not even once used an app to pay. also i havent searched once for a charging station manually. (but that means that the car has internet access wich opens another can of worms. i really dislike that part since the car uses google services for that functionality and wish car manufacturers would allow alternative software for the infotainment system)

Cachyos is a gaming linux distro made in Germany🇩🇪

disagree. while KDE has a Tablet mode it still depends on the device. Gnome with a few Extensions is far superior as a tablet imo. „TouchUp“ and „Gjs OSK“ are needed. With those installed, gnome will feel like a tablet and be easier to navigate than KDE. Especially if you want to switch on the fly between touch navigation and mouse/keyboard
