Sorry, I worded that poorly. All the exact components, and also a case, for that price. The form factor you’d get would be a full size desktop if you built your own, which would be much larger than their premade machine.

I can buy all the same parts, case included, for €800 or $1300 CAD. So you’re paying €350 on top of retail part costs for the small form factor and pre-assembly.

Edit: that is what availability and pricing I have in Canada.

Has there ever been a major subscription service that decreased in price for an equal service?

There was an option, and some companies did ship a disc with the installation files. Obviously the license was tied to the Steam account and not to the disc, but if companies weren’t shipping the disc with the license, that’s their fault for cheaping out, not Steam.

I like AI and use it often.

That’s awkward. I didn’t know that was in a separate repo.

The web server is in C#. It’s open source lol, I’m looking at the code and there’s no JavaScript.

Boot your games…from BOXROOM!

From the Steam page. Glad they have this feature. It’d be cool to grab the game and insert the media to actually launch the game.

Axios is a Javascript library and Jellyfin is written in C#.

Also interested how this works for mobile apps. I self host a number of services through caddy as my reverse proxy but each application is just dependent on it’s own authentication. If I exposed all my services to the internet, that’s a huge attack vector. If anyone else has some ideas I’d be happy to listen.

He doesn’t say that they’re good quality. Just, once in a lifetime quality. Interpretation is up the reader.

I mean only Linux as the product is released with only Linux offered by the company, as in not a choice between Windows and Linux. Linux first by design.

And Lenovo, I saved $100 and the time to setup Ubuntu on my Thinkpad. But I’m picturing something that is Linux only and a major release like a Chromebook or the Steam Deck were/are.

For the education sector and software developer sector these numbers are already met and well exceeded. For the consumer desktop, yes, I think so. I think some big company other than Valve and Google will sell a Linux desktop machine, be it x86 or ARM. When most of the stuff consumers use is through the browser, OEMs clinging to Windows is not going to last forever.

Masking take and permanent marker or pen works too if you don’t have electical tape.

Don’t need to open the case. Hold the soldering iron on the light until light goes out.

Shotgun Farmers is fun and Linux native!

An i7 4970K (DDR3) or similar CPU can actually be decent in 2026 for gaming.

Looks like they’ve lifted the subscription requirement for free to play games.

If it cane down to it, I’m sure you could find an old phone or tablet to use just for that for work.
