I'm torn. On one hand, $60 is an incredible introductory price for the 4 GB model. On the other hand, it still falls behind the Orange Pi 5, which can be found for very reasonable prices similar to the 8 GB model, and is still even more powerful. There's no doubt the community support will be outstanding as it always has been for the Raspberry Pi, but as somebody who's seeking out the highest performance for x86/64 gaming (box86 and box64), I don't know if I could justify getting a weaker SBC. I still might grab a couple of the 8 GB models to add to my proxmox cluster...

I would also suggest looking into GrapheneOS if you're looking for something new. I've been running it for 6 months on my pixel 6, and I have really enjoyed it. Apps just work, you can still use Google Play services in a sandbox, it's smooth and gets good battery life. The only downside that I have run across is the lack of Android auto support, but everything else just works

This is understandable, I still have a Win10 install on a separate disk in case I want to run VR on my Oculus CV1. Otherwise it's all Linux babyyyy

I have the same setup for about a year, even bought a mag safe case for my pixel when I switched to GrapheneOS so I could keep using it. Portable batteries and charging mounts are great and all, but having a mag safe cable is totally pointless. It's still charges more slowly, produces more heat, and is less efficient. If you're going to be constrained by a wire you might as well just plug straight in

This is still how we handle printers at work, this is about to become a nightmare

I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven't noticed? A lot of the time I'm using Snapchat out of the house, I haven't bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)

BattleBots for the win, fantastic action!

Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.

Isn't this the idea of having a chipset (Northbridge/Southbridge) on the board, to handle some of these IO tasks?

Also, I recently saw the Cathode Ray Dude video on Dell's Brain Slug, where down basically hijacked the system with a low-power ARM SBC. I almost wonder if something like this would be possible, it would obviously require a revision but it would theoretically allow for suspended downloads, invite notifications, etc. It would also be fairly expensive and complex though

The Pro is faster from what I understand, it seems to support 3.0 or 3.1(?)

This is me with those stupid "Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx" ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).

To their credit, they've stopped claiming they're cheaper than groceries

I second this 👀

I'm pretty sure he stepped down right after the controversy, but I'm too lazy to look it up to confirm

I believe it holds true for some single player games as well. I seem to remember Half-Life 2 not wanting to launch without Steam present, same for some other Source games. That really might not be the case though, I'm curious to do more testing... Either way, I watch enough Linux gaming on ARM SBCs (check out MicroLinux and LeePSPComputer on YouTube), can I see them using Goldberg from time to time to get games running with no Steam

You'd need something like the Goldberg Steam Emulator, since a lot of games rely on services and APIs that Steam provides

I agree about the Nintendo exclusive games, but the price is about the same. 320 US dollars gets you a refurbished 64 GB steam deck, which is basically the same price as the standard Switch and even cheaper than the OLED model. Not to mention all the great sales and cheap keys you can get

Edit: I do own both, I've had a switch since launch day, so I recognize the power that the first party exclusives have. I certainly don't hate on the switch by any means

Just to clarify, not to start a whole debate, but it's not truly free. You are paying for it through taxes which means it's probably cheaper for the average person, which is fair, but you pay a heck of a lot more in taxes than some other countries. Here in the US, generally low income people will qualify for "free" healthcare and university (or if not, universities will typically cover the majority of tuition with grants). Kindergarten through 12th grade is covered by taxes for everyone as well. I do like the idea of requiring a certain percentage of properties to be high-density, that way you don't have a developer building exclusively luxury properties and screwing everybody else over.

That could be interesting, as then the corporations would still be paying for a percentage of repairs directly
