No one gives a shit about the fact that HP is making another useless piece of hardware, but it's more about the fact that a major OEM is considering a linux alternative rather than slapping windows on a mobile device and shipping it like everyone else is.

The more OEMs that work with Valve on utiliing SteamOS means more pull that Valve has over Microsoft to make compatibility with games better, and even game developers themselves whom some ignore Steam Deck users entirely by ensuring their game will not work on it.

This is a win for the linux community as a whole to have the backing of an OEM, even if it's a shitty company like HP it's still a good sign and will hopefully mean other OEMs follow suit.

the truth is that American coffee has become so ubiquitous that it is the base line of what coffee is and anything else is pointed out as an oddity.

What an insane statement. The two methods of brewing that you stated are considered some of the worst methods in modern coffee brewing. Percolation, while producing a strong brew, suffers from a large amount of ground coffee making it into the final cup. And drip coffee, while producing a cup of coffee, leaves a lot to be desired since theres a lack of flavors extracted through the process.

Siphon coffee brewers existed long before percolation, with the Moka pot being one of the most ubiquitous, and still used to this day.

Turkish coffee produces some of the best tasting coffee but also suffers from the grounds leftover in the cup.

All of this is to say Americanized coffee may have gotten more people into coffee, but it didn't do anything to innovate the brewing process. These processes have been refined and proven long before Americans started brewing coffee.

The article mentions this is aimed at enterprises who are already probably doing something like this with vmware ESXi

Biological sex != gender. There's not even 2 classes of biological sex. There are men born with biological female organs and women born with biologically men's organs. We all as humans do share common organs, one of which happens to be the nipple.

Regardless of what your actual biological sex is a gender is simply a social construct used to identify someone. A person who is "non-binary" feels that their gender does not conform to what you would typically expect of either male or female based on appearances or behavior.

People hate youngblood? I played it with a friend and we thought it was a fun game. It was like any other arkane game but this time co-op.

Jesus Christ, how are you alive?

I don't see why these hardware manufacturers think they can just shit out handhelds and then call it a day. Valve spent so much time in R&D with steam os trying to make an actual usable mobile interface for the deck, and they've so far done an outstanding job doing that.

For example, on the deck if you run into an issue, say for example an app crashes. No problem, just press the home button and exit the game. Worst comes to worse you just restart steam (you can now restart steam instead of rebooting the entire device).

On a windows device, especially something like this, if your game crashe, unless the device has an overlay that allows you to force close the game you'd have to plug in a keyboard to alt tab. If the overlay app crashes then you'd absolutely need a keyboard.

There's just so many issues that can arise that will understandably piss off the user trying to use these devices to simply play games, but issues happen and windows is the absolute least mobile friendly OS to use on the market.

I feel like these manufacturers expect the hardware power alone to sell the device, but the secret to valve's success has mostly been with Steam OS and not necessarily the deck hardware itself.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It literally only exists on a single desktop environment and even then it's practically beta. On my TV it just shows everyhing as green and purple when I enable HDR.

I love linux and want it to keep improving but man people need to stop circlejerking linux so much when it comes to people using windows when it suits their needs

Im guessing they see it as voting for a woman is submissive because you're acknowledging that a woman has more power than you, whereas marrying a woman means the man has power over the woman.

Im no longer going to mcdonalds because the wait times are insane. The inside staff are low staffed. If you order inside it will most likely take 20 minutes to get your food. If you're in drive through, they just tell you to pull into one of the numbered spots, and then eventually you might get your food.

They took the "fast" out of fast food and made it ridiculously expensive. So no, I'm not going to spend $10 on a meal thats going to take half an hour to make when I can just go to a sit down restaurant and get a much better burger for $12

overconsumption of wasteful products like this is what's destroying this fucking world.

One bottle has 77g of sugar, even one a day is an incredible amount of sugar for the average diet, thats in conjunction with I assume other sugary foods too.

Most drinks in general just have way way too much sugar.
