Generally if the CEO says it, it’s for the shareholders.

This is why I say emissions are not a cover-all and I’m tired of them being compared equally

Also, the food I eat was already in the carbon cycle. The food (energy) datacenters eat is mostly sequestered carbon, not all emissions are the same. Hell, if we want to get into it fucking water vapor is a greenhouse gas.

They’ve dragged the US government into 38 trillion dollars in dept dropping nearly a trillion dollars a year into the military industrial complex without an ability to pass an audit. Soon the largest expenditure in the US federal discretionary budget will be paying interest on on debts taken to feed that beast. But forgiving student loans and providing healthcare… we can’t afford that.

Wait the Democrats respond to public shaming? At this point I thought they got off on it. He was doing his job but, he was kissing fascist ass just like Google, Microsoft, and Apple have not lobbying for privacy.

People with the intelligence and empathy to disobey orders don’t generally join the military.

Entertainment value is value, my dog has value to me but is nothing but a monetary cost. It is in how I enjoy having my dog so much that I will pay the monetary cost because he is that valuable to me.

Someone downloading and using an app isn’t indicative to that app having much value to the end user.

Of those 800 million, how many are paying? That number could be easily over-represented by people doing things without real value to them. I also don’t know how many of those users need professional help whether it be severe social anxiety or the people who find intimacy in a chatbot.

Like, you’re right there has to be some value to it but I just can’t see trillions of USD in value.

The english-using internet is predominantly American men so it’s a sampling bias unless you were to switch languages.

It’s pretty ironic we’re talking about being confidently incorrect, with confidence, and based on anecdote with no research.

Hmmm let me just look at the title of this post. Oh yeah. PC at PC price. Holy shit no way.

None of them are comparable to the Steam Machine as it’s not a console. I’m just saying $650 is pretty average console pricing now.

You stated incorrect information then doubled down that your incorrect information was true till finally actually looking it up to then assert that out of 3 consoles $500, $650, and $750 that $650 is not console pricing. So yes, $650 is console pricing, what’re you gonna do tell me I’m wrong again because you have some strong feelings?

No, the disc driveless PS5 is $500. I’m looking at it right now on the playstation website. The PS5 Pro is $750.

$650 is console pricing now. You don’t have to like it but that is the reality.

The Xbox Series X is $650 and the PS5 is $500.

While I agree it is cheaper to build your own it also wont be as small as the Steam Machine.

It’s just that Valve has made a point that it will be priced like a PC, if it is priced like a PC then $650 is far too close to current console pricing. I want to be wrong here, I want it to be cheap and really push Linux into the mainstream. I’m just far too cynical and I expect it to be the most pointless product until proven otherwise.

Plus those Cyberpower PC’s have to factor in a Windows license into the cost.

Honestly, the Steam Machine needs to be less than $800 to be viable.

This’ll probably get said a lot around here but the US isn’t a democracy and hasn’t really been one in the past. For instance; the US public overwhelmingly support universal healthcare but it never goes anywhere in the actual government.

We’re just witnessing an oligarchy transition into outright fascism because the US is failing.

What do you mean? Trump said drug prices are down 1500% /s obviosuly

It’s expected of Disney, been supporting fascists since the start.
