Yeah, I read this title, I thought this means $100,000 households are no longer above the liviable wage line. Less catchy headline, but more believable.

After investigating various releases, I suspect that that) slightly modified likely mostly means ‘directly welded to the motherboard instead of socketed’ and it is otherwise probably mostly stock.

I imagine the direct welding is a cost-saving measure to make the product more competitive with consoles.

Given that they announced that the recovery image should now work with a wide variety of systems and that they have stated in multiple places that they plan to eventually release a general version of the OS, they’ve done the work of making it compatible with mostly all AMD stuff. My bet is they’re also working with Nvidia and and their driver support is the holdup.

I imagine that’s because that’s what they tried back in 2015 with the Alienware steam machine.

Because they were forced to do the work of making a custom cpu for the handheld, now they have the contracts and relationships to tailor a CPU for their 2026 machine. But you can tell they still want it to be primarily a PC because they only “lightly modified” it.

I don’t inherently agree. Gatekeeping often is a magnified issue for novice users. Perhaps they came over with the latest reddit exodus, saw recommendations for self hosting on the new platform, got pushback and created an account to complain. I appreciate the concern, but I don’t think it’s valid to assume because the account is new, it must be a troll.

Good thing /c/technology@lemmy.world subscribers isn’t exclusively populated by those users!

Finding a group of people who don’t care about a thing is generally like shooting fish in a barrel. Caring is fundamentally hard.

This is the dream

The ability to scale and to be able to recite pi to more digits?

Right‽ Who decided there gets to be a Rickroll of grievance? Sometimes I worry it gets used as mental bandaid to objectify mourning and perform alchemy to putting a label on it and transmute it into ‘a funny feeling’. The lines are a magic rune to turn the sad nuance of actual loss into meme loss.

I contend a functional definition of privilege is the number of problems you can ignore. By this metric anon is likely privileged.

I appreciate the thought but which would you choose:

Full time minimum wage US worker at $7¼/hr or $15,080/yr vs $20,000 one time purchase?

I agree with you that these things are likely underpaid labor (maybe including literal slavery, or job conditions close enough to count anyways), but I don’t think your argument is going to be convincing to anyone actually considering getting one.

Which is frustrating as every single time the government wanted to expand surveillance on regular citizens, preventing this is always touted as the justification. Now we have all the surveillance and the monopolies are like ‘Nah, exploitation is profitable’.

Just label each with a cute yet distinct name. Then customers would associate each name with the blend they order, with bonus lore.

What you’re advocating is called genocide. Genocide is bad.

We’ve tried this ‘separating mentally ill from society’ before - they were called asylums. We stopped doing that because they’re inhumane. (There is an academic debate on if they’re inherently such or simply attract/foster abuse, but were not having that debate today.)

What you’re suggesting is an international crime and violation of human rights. Please reconsider.

I disagree with this joke’s premise

Yes. If you’re not actively using the land you should sell it - if that were the general practice, many renters would be land owners themselves and an entire layer of middle management would evaporate.

I thought it was obvious from the blooming cloud of mutant white spores in the last few seconds 😜 nuclear mushroom!!

… obviously /s

I refuse to get formerly identified. Adding labels to your health record feels dangerous in the US - so I’m happy to ‘suspect’ I’m autistic, stay on top of the research, and refuse to be boxed and labeled publicly.

Hose is pronounced /hōz/ and dose is pronounced /dōs/ in “Standard English” (which is a specific and deliberately invented dialect taught to news anchors to try to smooth out all the regional differences), actual english varies so much over time and space that both words have numerous variations - https://www.howtopronounce.com/hose, plus we change our inflection on words depending on where they are in a sentence - and plenty of context can change if the emphasis is on the vowel or the ending consonant: All my hoes know a hose is a hose.

Simply put - as long as people understand the ideas you’re conveying, don’t worry too much about precise spelling and punctuation - it’s literally all made up.

No it was definitely an … memory updating … all other EV brands vehicle. The Tesla truck is the only good option.
