Translation: they want to stop paying Denuvo for their DRM system

Reads like an infomercial for Epic to me

Disappointing article, ars is using desktop-vlass hardware to calculate the pricing, butthe steam machine is using laptop parts (CPU, GPU, and RAM).

This is an entry-level level PC, 700 is way too much, other entry-level miniPCs, which are between 500 and 600.

The linked reddit post (why couldn't he just link yo the original video content? ) does a much better job reasoning about the bill of materials and comparing it against other products

Vates demoed on kubecon an ARM workstation running XCP-ng, a xen-based virtualization platform.

https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/11/13/xcp-ng-on-arm-with-ampere/

It's still early days, but I'm hoping it can reach homelabs, the big question being hardware enablement, which is difficult on ARM baseboards due to lack of standardization.

Disclaimer: I work with Vates, and prepared some component to compile under ARM to prepare the demo.

Preaching to the choir here :)

There's time until March for the maintainers of the 3 niche architectures to organize and make rust available for them. Doesn't sound that abrupt to me

Nevermimd that signal's centralisation makes it vulnerable to this kind of outage, and that was a conscious design decision. So nobody should be surprise this has happened.

This was an embarrassing and unhinged article to read.

Big tech companies (we're talking about Meta FFS) have long demonstrated they will exploit psychology to trigger addiction-like behaviours to make people stay more time on their app and be able to generate more money through ads.

I'm at a loss for words regarding how the article is unable to grasp how schools are not funded as well as these tech companies to combat the unethical shit they do through education.

I'm also dumbfounded as to why is this article in a censorship channel. Poor Zuckerberg can't suck whatever blood he wants? How about posting articles about how social media have contributed to promote polarizing contents and propaganda for years if not decades, much of which is meant to destabilise western democracies?

While it performs well nd has fancy new features, it's still lacking one that I use every day: find words on the already-printed text: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/189

It looks like it's going to take months until it's available

For fuck's sake, why can't we have nice things?

I'm very disappointed, this "open tent" argument is intellectualy dishonest and unacceptable: allowing openly hateful people into the big tent only means they will harm other people, and end up alone. It's just impossible to have a big tent with them and must be excluded.

I was trying to get the company I work for to adopt framework laptops as standard, and they were very interested. I've told them to stop the adoption effective immediately until there's a reversal in political messaging the company is doing, a simple "we're sorry we won't don't again" is not enough when they have funded

This also applies to recommending it to friends and family, of course.

I give them less than a year to turn sour and start "pivoting to a new strategy"
