FireWire400

Yeah, didn’t think so

Since switching to Linux I have nuked my system maybe 5 or 6 times?

When I initially installed it I set the EFI partition to ext4, that caused some trouble when I updated my kernel lol. Grub just stopped working a few times and then just recently I accidentally wrote a floppy disc image to the wrong drive and wiped out my /home partition. Luckily testdisk is a thing.

For everything else I can just rely on my BTRFS snapshots. My drive setup is more than janky, but it works. Every time something went really wrong I was able to fix it myself.

Can’t go wrong with good old Linux Mint

Really? Never heard of that, why would smart watches be exempt?

Should still be able to carry 1 amp, shouldn’t it?

That’s a concern for me as well, in Germany every new Product has to come with basically a 2 year warranty. 30 days is nothing.

I mean you see a ribbon connector right there for the daughterboard, but yeah, maybe it’s too bulky for the current case design.

The nanos are pretty nasty to work on in general

True. Although I’d still find a way to mess it up somehow.

Soldered in battery still…

It can automatically order eggs for you. That’s neat, eh? It’s not

I can just picture them seeing all the negative feedback and dropping to the floor in the fetal position calling out for their Mum, who then came into their room to turn off replies.

So they acknowledge the backlash, now what? They’re probably not gonna change anything regardless.

Anyway, why does Microsoft need an “AI CEO” and how is CEO different from president? Is there also a Windows CEO, or an AI president at Microsoft?

Yeah, that’s kinda obvious. I just don’t think that’s gonna be a huge problem for people who are in the market for this thing, Valve specifically choose the specifications to be an upgrade for most steam users.

Some upgradability is still better than none.

I would’ve liked to believe Eric was the nice and honest guy he comes across as in his videos…

Why can’t it ever be that simple? Just once.

Doesn’t fill me with much hope, especially after my 2 Duo pre-order was cancelled because they found out there weren’t enough parts.

The same guy who admitted he couldn’t raise his child without ChatGPT btw.

There’s plenty of games today that use more than 16GB of system RAM on their highest settings and that’s only gonna become more common in the future… Besides, with this being literally a Linux PC, there’s more ways it could make use of the extra RAM than just games.

I don’t know what you’re on about, mate.

Oh that’s cool, didn’t see that. I have no idea why Valve didn’t mention that in their reveal, that’s a huge advantage over consoles.

I’m not in the market for the GabeCube but if I were, I’d find a price point of $500-$600 attractive, given it’s mostly just laptop tier hardware. I would prefer it over the current gen of consoles, although I don’t know if there’s gonna be the same level of optimisations for games on this as there is on consoles (most likely not really). It’ll be a ripper emulation box, though.

Upgradability would’ve been nice, too. Soldered in RAM is ok for a hand-held device but for this? Nah mate…

Edit: The RAM isn’t soldered, it uses standard SODIMMs.

I can’t wait for that whole AI bubble to blow up. Shame it’s most likely not gonna kill Microsoft…
