That is funny. I started using windows with 3.1 and had problems with software in every version since. Sometimes I had to troll support archives to get the drivers for peripherals, sometimes they stopped being supported at all. By the time it came to think about upgrading to winqq because 20 crapped its pants I said no more! Of course I skipped 8 and 9 and who can forget the gems that were vista and millenium. You sound very young. I'm glad you know it all.

Good luck with that.

By the way I was saying my computer was underpowered not that there was anything particularly wrong with steam on linux. I'm not sure why anyone would want to use SteamOS on anything other than a repurposed handheld. Steam does have usability issues and it led the way in intrusive functionality in the gaming world where you don't own your games and someone is always trying to look over your shoulder but I guess that is just what we have to live with now.

In a way the AI companies driving up equipment costs is all part of the scheme to get everything into the cloud where they can keep an eye on you if people can't afford more than a dumb terminal then they will get to watch every click you make as it is transfered to their server. I realy realy reeeeaaaaly want to play games remotely streamed, don't you?
 

Steam on Manjaro was just a click away, I'm guessing Ubuntu might be as well as it is apparently what steamos was based on. I've had a few problem but not many but then I'm probably not playing the same games. No bleeding edge fps for me. I am running a ~7 yr old ex-win10 box. M odern games are full of bloat, blame them as much as the OS Why does a game nee 100+ gigs of disk space to play anyway? It just drives up the ram. Eye candy comes at the expense of playability.

For people who don't build their own box, the one they get mostly comes with windows, I suppose some computer stores will sell you a box without it but if you are buying at a costco, bestbuy walmart kind of place, you might just use the windows it comes with instead of trying to dual boot or wipe and install linux.

Off with their heads!

You can't just strip mine things to make money.
Well you can, I guess.

Chicks are people too! but call them ladies because some of them don't like "chick", "dame" or "broad". Or anything else dudes call them.

All they need to do is put it on a track. Somehow I got the idea from the summary that they were drones with lasers but the image pretty clearly shows a heavy device mounted on a platform.

What are they going to do put one on every rooftop? Looks like there will still be a lot of shrapnel if they blow them up in the air.

It is on its way to Europa to investigate the monolith,

It took me a whack of tries in Luner Lander on that mainframe in '73 even with a simplified simulation. Working with a dumb terminal didn't help.

AI product doesn't qualify for copyright, isn't that the legal standard.

sand blasting the ablative shielding of rockets on the way into orbit before corrosive clouds forming to sandblast the paint off planes flying through them and diamond rain falling to strip the land of anything made of material softer than diamonds.

Are the industries really green if they devices are not recyclable?

Or did we pass by them? Maybe they were just lounging around in their underwear and we blew past them like a banshee trying to catch up to the wild hunt.

If AI created content can't be copyrighted, does that mean that nothing created by an Iphone, or as it this instance "generative AI in products like Photoshop." I am guessing this hasn't been legally tested but seems like something that could be argued in a court case.
  It is a good thing I am not a lawyer so I can get away with such a stupid question.

I didn't pirate that picture it was in the public domain....

Iphones use AI in their camera apps, don't they?

If you don't know how or why the model comes up with what it comes up with you can't reveal it to anyone else. Perhaps I am not understanding correctly -- wouldn't be the first time. I suppose you can release the initial program but once it has started to do its thing with the training data it becomes pretty much a black box, doesn't it?

I toggled Windows off. I also bought a mac mini.
