There exists an alternative that uses a lot less power. And also that power is going to get spent no matter what anyway.

Progress is slow. Start with killing the popularity of the second party/party you absolutely don't align with/party that will move the needle away from your party first.

To me, it's looking like a replacement for a PC and a portable device, and does not need to compete against a console. And that's what I'm looking for. I'm just sick of the rising price of video cards, and the worsening state of Windows. I've had plans to upgrade my video card for a while now, and could never justify it. I feel like it's as viable now to get a Deck and a PS5 Slim or a Pro than to get a PC and another portable. PC gobbles up too much power as a desktop nowadays and too expensive as a premium machine.

That sells it for me. Steam Deck is in my future. Windows will not be my next OS.

If we can argue that Sony will stop supporting the PS5 in the future, who's to say in the future, (without the good leadership), Steam won't restrict what can be put on the Steam Deck? We have a lot of arguments for wanting a Steam Deck and an alternative OS to boot for gaming, but saying PS5 will be bricked in the future is not a strong one.

These devices have different use cases. Steam Deck also is digital only. If a publisher decides to kill a game, they can control whether you can or can't play the game. PS5 Pro is expensive, but so are video cards nowadays. PS5 Pro is just following a trend set years before, including the shift from physical games and cost. The only way to stop anti-consumer trends is to stop buying expensive hardware (PS5 Pro included). Also, give some love to physical copies of games.

Now, instead of debugging the code, you have to debug the data. Sounds worse.

Every update, some thing breaks. The "new" Teams does not work well with the microphone on my work laptop, I've had to resort to using headphones. The interface just sucks too. I hate that the left pane auto-hides now. So inconvenient. It's not just Teams too. Every part of Office has broken for us during previous updates. I miss the times when Windows was just an OS for the most part and MS was not trying hard to be Apple.

Oil companies really made hydrogen sound evil. Maybe that's what they wanted all along.

There are a lot of Linux talks, but I can't stand all the people who keep saying all this place talks about is Linux. They are the ones who are everywhere here.

By the way, I came back to reddit briefly for a very specific community and ever since the stock sale started getting this:

whoa there, pardner!
