There are always people who want aesthetics over performance

You don’t have to choose though. Plenty of people are running this hardware in a box much smaller than this, their explanation is nonsense. It’s just bad design.

why wouldn’t corsair sell these

Because they care at all about their reputation?

Don’t know about you but Epic gives me a bot challenge every time I do absolutely anything on their site.

Which GPU? How many drives?

Put a kill-o-watt meter on it and see what it says for consumption.

That’s great but these things never should have been up for sale in the first place.

0.1kWh per hour? Day? Month?

What’s in your system?

Bambu is in the initial phase of enshittification.

I wish they were more open

This is how you can tell.

Also every time someone links to a print on their website it begs me to download their app.

Cannot recommend.

It doesn’t help that Steam store is a nightmare to navigate.

Releasing demos is a great way to succeed. It doesn’t take me more than 5 minutes to decide if it’s something I want to continue playing.

Putting videos of nothing but cut-scenes is a great way to ensure I keep scrolling but every title seems to take this approach.

Tech Jesus made a tribute video.

Yeah this is everything the Steam Deck is not:

1. Crazy expensive
2. Disposable/unrepairable
3. Windows trash
4. Chinese gobbledygook company that will disappear from existence in 6 months

I mean they squeezed all the blood from that orange. Not that that ever stopped Ubisoft…

I see.

But you can do all of that with an app on your local device.

I can’t believe that a project hasn’t previously heavily focused on becoming a fully feature complete Self-hosted Podcast platform

…y tho? What’s the point?

one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!)

Welcome to Windows. Basically the entire operating system is malware at this point.

Mine says 99% Steam Deck and 1% Linux, which is weird considering they’re the same thing.

But probably 50% was on my desktop, which also shows up as Steam Deck under Bazzite.

I would not look at his guide. If you’ve watched any of Louis’ videos, you already know this guy is a ranting machine. He can go on and on for hours about things. I watched about 15 minutes of his rambling and realized he had gotten basically nowhere. It’s also one of the more complex ways of doing things. Use ZimaOS to get started with the easy button.

Stick with whatever router you have, for starters. You can upgrade later. You don’t necessarily need that at all.

For the actual server I highly recommend this guy. N100 is very common due to being very inexpensive and efficient. You’ll have to add RAM and an SSDs but you probably want to choose exactly how large that is anyway. It has 4xNVMe and 2xSATA, if you decide you want to expand later.
