Drones is what stands out. China is like the only one offering drone products to regular hobbyists. Whether its cheap whoops or more premium DJI drones.

I wonder if China will fill that consumer segment instead of they themselves deciding to just ignore it all to go after the AI business sector too.

Maybe PC will go the route of people having to scrap retro parts or jailbreaking consoles to install Linux when it comes to hardware acquisition in the future.

I wonder if it would have lasted longer if there was zero money being accepfed for it. And I wonder if the source code was shared so someone else in another country could work on it.

You can’t farm clown awards for steam points here. I don’t think you get points from awards anymore from steam either.

Do you really have to? I think these days its best to not create a new account for corporate run social media sites, and instead just lurk instead of being an active contributor. Ideally using a front end if available.

Inclusion of AI isn’t meant to be a selling point to product buying customers but to convince retail investors who throw money at anything with AI into buying up shares of stock.

And some companies like NVIDIA and micron have reached a point where retail customer revenue is a rounding error compared to direct corporate sales, so there’s no need to cater them and for some no need to even sell to retail customers anymore.

As things get more expensive it helps create a rental economy, so people having to rent leads to companies able to make money selling to companies that are making money providing subscription services to consumers who have been priced out.

Kind of like the housing market in a way.

I got a Switch because of handheld gaming and then I stopped using my Switch because I got a Deck, and my library became playable on it without having to rebuy them. And I can get cheaper games, bundles, and giveaways than on Nintendo to play on my Deck or PC. And if ARM support for steam frame makes its way to Android then I’ll be able to play those same Steam games on my phone too.

How relevant is inflation when cost of living has gotten so inflated that the idea of home ownership went the way of renting. So if anything in today’s money eating costs can hurt the wallet even more with how essentials are eating up more disposable income.

People bring up inflation as though salaries have kept up like NBA salaries have kept up due to their strong union. But, for every day people salaries have stagnated in relation to cost of property, rent, utilities, and food.

Extent of my comfort with AI is through website and interaction is limited to copy and paste or upload. Capabilities not running on a system level.

But, when it comes to actually running on hardware and being able to do things by reading what is on the screen or hearing what is said I don’t trust AI to be secure or privacy respecting. When it comes to that type of functionality I’ll only trust ones that is compiled myself to run locally as opposed to provided by a corporations who are largely in the business of data collection.

Been wondering the same. If the console gets opened up I’ll be rushing to get a PS5 to get one with old firmware that hasn’t had the exploit patched out.
