Honestly I struggle to imagine how Steam could support it more.

Agh Plex always rubs me the wrong way… It acts like closed source software as much as is possible. Went with Jellyfin and it’s been great. But haven’t tried music.

The 9800X3D will likely be one of the best gaming CPUs around but wait for reviews obviously, it may not necessarily be worth the money over the current king - the 7800X3D. Early leaks showing it may be 10% or less improvement in games.

AMD CPUs have been the no brainer for gaming PCs for a hot minute. GPUs too, if money is an issue at all. Nvidia still has the absolute highest performance but the cost on their cards are just not worth it.

Just got a 5700X3D as a final upgrade to my AM4 board. Great upgrade. Wanted a 5800X3D but they’re almost impossible to find so the 5700X3D was only 5% lower in most scores and only about $200. Also got two more 8GB sticks of RAM and a 7800XT to replace my 5700(GPU) non XT

That should get me through this decade I think

I would just do a minimal reinstall if you had used this as a personal computer OS before

And also take the battery out

Yeah I had to export it manually from K9 then it worked perfect

, btw

Definitely doesn’t have even close to the graphical horsepower

What are you talking about it’s just a laptop in gamepad form you can hook up PC peripherals and there will be zero difference.

I’m not interested in conjecture I’m interested in facts. Get me some research papers. Get me some court docs. Something.

Cox got caught buying that data, and when confronted about it, Google, Amazon, and Meta all failed to deny that they also buy that data from those malicious app makers

But what is that based on? This paragraph?

A spokesperson for CMG told Newsweek that “CMG businesses have never listened to any conversations nor had access to anything beyond third-party aggregated, anonymized, and fully encrypted data sets that can be used for ad placement.”

I don’t think that explicitly means they had datasets made up of clandestinely recorded conversations in the wild.

third-party aggregated, anonymized, and fully encrypted data sets that can be used for ad placement.

Really could describe ANY possible set of tracking data… Unless you put this quote into a clickbaitey article and strongly imply it’s something sinister.

Someone back this up with proof. Security researchers would’ve noticed this. They’d’ve had to have hacked their way around the microphone permission systems and microphone use indicator (depending on OS) on your phone and upload that data without being caught by security analysts. That kind of bug would probably be worth a fairly decent bounty too.

The article talks about a slide in a PITCH to advertisers. But not a concrete system. Then it goes on to say advertisers bought a dataset from other sources. What dataset? From where? It doesn’t say. Transcriptions from voice assistants? Maybe. But without hard evidence I don’t believe random apps are just recording clandestinely in the background. But people want to believe this so writing shitty unsourced articles with click bait titles and tenuous-if-I’m-generous linking of weak facts lacking entirely in context generates lots of clicks.

Fedora has always had good Mac support in my experience. Should just be able to hold option key at boot and select the USB.

If you want to continue dual booting I’d use the Mac’s recovery mode to shrink the partition so it leaves space first. Other than that it should be just like normal. Hold option to get the boot menu.

Not really? Conceptually maybe. But if you can install whatever OS you want and aren’t forced to use official distribution methods then that seems pretty PC to me

But that’s stupid, their high end devices are good enough to last 5+ if not for software

Yeah how many attacks have there been using the pseudo-randomness of the RNG to break into modern phones? Going to bet none.

And great software with little bloat and useful features.

But the updates still suck ass.

I’ve never been in tech professionally, I’m a truck driver (now working in the office of company but still drive sometimes) but I have always been into tech. I selfhost as much as possible. Bitwarden, jellyfin, seafile, etc. and also run a Lemmy instance. I like tech projects and control.

I mean it really doesn’t get as hot as I’d had thought it would which is apparently the big longevity killer. And the way they help manage these huge wattages is splitting the battery into multiple cells.

Chinese brands have had super fast charging for more than 5 years now and I don’t think I’ve heard too much in the way of massively increased battery degradation.
