I got the 64gb intentionally to just put in a 512gb myself. Was no problem to do, and saved quite a bit on the price difference. I'm extremely happy with the device, but don't use it nearly enough.

First you state I'm "absolutely incorrect" then you repeat and confirm what I said:

I can run them on higher settings usually

This seems awfully close to the "at least on high" in my comment, so what is the problem with my statement?

I also purposely kept it relative and vague, because personal preferences differ wildly on what is meant by "I can run xxx", which you've basically doubled down on. I specifically do NOT expect 100fps in a triple-A on maxed out settings with ray tracing, and I thought that much was clear. But I can get to 100fps, with somewhat reduced settings, if that's a game where I'd need that. To be specific this time: my general target is usually around 60fps for more visual titles, but it can dip a bit below in busy/dense/hectic areas. It also shouldn't leave the 50s for significant amounts of time though.

That all being said, I also only rarely actually play AAA games. But I do play some indie games that are more on the demanding side, but then there's most games I play that should run in a toaster... Which is another reason I never upgraded. It's all still good enough.

The main idea is that the state of your computer/desktop is known to home assistant and you can react to it. Media starts playing on PC, so mute the tv. A meeting starts (camera in use), so dim room lights and turn on the ring light.

PC turned off: wait 30s, then turn off the whole outlet to act as a master/slave power strip and save power on monitors and otherpc associated standby devices. Or just turn off desk lights.

Finally you can have scripts on the PC that do whatever you want, and you can trigger them from home assistant. Movement detected in the garden, so open the camera preview on the corner of 3rd monitor. Backup server just came online (or was woken up by wake-on-lan from ha), so run a backup if the PC is on.

Dual booting is perfectly fine. Just try to not use the windows boot partition for both OS or Windows will occasionally "lose" the Linux entry... "Oops" I guess.

If Linux is on its own drive, or at least has it's own uefi partition, it's just fine and dandy. Just chain load windows from it and there's basically nothing that can break.

The general trend, yes.

But then again, my computer is now many years old (some components more than others) and I'm pretty sure I could play every release from this year on the highest graphic setting (or at least on "high") without performance issues.

What I'm trying to say is not "my PC is so great" but you you don't actually need a current-Gen, high end PC to play even recent triple-A titles. Eventually it'll get too old, but that is a very long time: probably close to a decade or something, if you individually upgrade some things occasionally.

I think Gilmore girls is already on Disney+, at least in some regions? I assume their contact just ran out.

I'll probably give this a try, thanks!

But I'm confused about your explanation: you say you didn't wanna contribute to the existing project at you didn't know dart/flutter. Then you end up creating your project from scratch, using dart/flutter to learn dart/flutter. Why not just contribute to the existing project, or fork it, instead of reinventing the (same) wheel?

No drift yet, got an original 64gb basic edition. But I also barely use the thing, so that probably contributed to the longevity.

I did swap the SSD basically as soon as I got it, was trivial. Thumb sticks aren't much harder as they are on daughter boards. Hard to fuck that up.

Isn't PicaOS gamers Debian already?

In the same spirit, I don't know where I heard the quote, but it went someone like this:

I use my headphones to listen to music, you use music to listen to your headphones.

Could also be written across the "we are not the same" meme.

If that was really dropped accidentally, why is the room completely empty in that direction? I can't imagine a kitchen that has that much free space, especially towards the/a window...

ESU runs until Oct '26. So those that can't or don't want to leave windows have that option.
