Riskable

Yet for some reason it still left me kinda hyped 🤷

As long as there’s some kind of power available inside the machine (e.g. an extra SATA power connector) it can just use that and wifi.

I suspect that the Valve engineers weren’t so short sighted though and probably have all the usual headers/connectors inside the thing that a normal PC would have. For example, a USB 3 header (the kind usually used for front-panel USB ports).

If anything, the device probably has at least one extra M.2 connector and a 1x or 4x PCI express connector. With those, anything is possible.

Even if the only power available is the CPU fan header you can always just use a splitter and pull power out of that.

Over a billion dollars to fight… (checks notes) the concept of people not being 100% aligned masculine/straight/male or feminine/straight/female.

WTF‽ What made them think that the 0.5%-2% of the population (depending on who you ask) that land at the edges of the sex spectrum are worth that level of hate?

Retiring would be a step down for that guy.

This is why combining religion and government is always a bad idea.

“I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump said, adding that such a requirement would mean “we’d have to have a million or two million or three million trials”.

Yes! Fucking exactly. That’s right. That’s why everyone since forever has been saying that illegal immigration is an untenable problem!

Except this guy… Who doesn’t believe in civil rights or due process.

“So beautiful. So white and pure.”

There’s obviously something fowl going on in the Whitehouse.

So not only are we looking for aliens and their signals we’re also looking for their memes.

I look forward to seeing these images that exist out in space 👍

The person making claims is the one that needs to provide the evidence. Anyone spreading unverified rumors should be viewed like The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

In order for a rumor or something like naked pictures to be effective in its purpose of bringing you down or blackmailing you it must cause emotional distress. If you don’t take it seriously–or even better, don’t give a shit about what random strangers say–it can’t have power over you.

We don’t live in tiny, closely-tied villages anymore. A rumor about you may be on the Internet forever but it’ll be about as believable as a “hot singles in your area” ad and the likelihood of someone even finding it goes down over time as it gets drowned out by all the other bullshit that exists.

Even celebrities that are famous for doing stupid shit are finding that nobody remembers their past failings anymore. And they’ll have hundreds to thousands of real news articles about their idiocy out there, ready for anyone to read.

Hopefully AI will change this. In the future, when anyone claims to have such pictures you can just say it’s AI-generated nonsense 🤷

The world will have to go back to actually verifying claims.

We also need to teach our children about porn, damnit! Even if someone posts a thousand naked pictures of you to the Internet it will be lost in the sea of naked pictures. Very few will care or notice and no, future employers won’t go looking and even if they hear about it why TF would they even care? You can still do the job.

Anyone who does care that naked pictures exist is obviously lacking moral character and probably needs to re-think what’s important in life.

They should rename it then! The Steam OS version should be “GPD FTW” 👍

Well, good/useful AI integration. An AI that makes games infinitely replayable by changing the story, levels, and characters so they’re 100% unique every time? That could be awesome. Oh man I bet that sort of thing would be amazing if done right in a roguelike game!

AI that tries to figure out how to sell you more loot boxes? No thanks!
