They don't allow more than a bunch of replies from unregistered until it block itself: naturally people that don't want to bother with register and being stalked switch to other chatbot.

Why do Mistral have to shot them in the foot? It's really a massive spending in terms of electric bill if they keep q/a to anonymous guests?

There are US companies that allow unregistered q/a: they know they need most expanse feedback from everyone; if you're registered to a platform your kind of question aren't the same as if you were anonymous: you need both (registered and anonymous) to understand how to improve the model.

Block unregistered user? They will go elsewhere.

We need more EU companies with AI and enough investment to understand this.

It's not like Devs can afford to say "Hey, you! No, not you, the other one.... hire me now!"

What’s the difference between ARM and x86 other than proprietary?

Both ARM and x86 are proprietary, innovation is made differently tho.

Arm holding set new standard for the broader concept of innovation, trying to gather as many companies possible to further innovate in their own way and as many companies possible.

X86 is mostly ruled by Intel and the way Intel manufacture things; AMD is thrown in the mix both both need to be cautions around their business: it's in their hope no third party interfere with what and how X86 are manufactured.

RiscV is the ultimate goal: a platform not owned by anyone, which anyone is free to innovate for their propose (like Linux's kernel which power big Super Computers mainframes, desktop pc or table clock: there's a root capability, then everything extend from there by its purpose.).

How is steam an ARM store? (Genuine question not a disagreement)

It's not an ARM store in the sense they sell ARM hardware; but the store itself (also) runs on ARM CPU: to have a piece of software (such as Steam, as the steam client you download and install) run on different platform, you need some work to be done: CDProjekt did the job for CyberPunk 2077 (for the Nintendo Switch 2) as Valve did the job for Steam (for the MACs)

What specific brands/companies/developers do you see becoming relevant in this context within the next year?

Intel could come in to play, the reason they are not "seriously" in the RISC business is because the conflict of interest with "their" X86.

Both Nvidia and AMD are already in both ARM and RiscV business.

Any company in the smartphone business can join in: they just need ARM binaries (CPU) and full Vulkan support (GPU)

Will this translate to more budget friendly pc-gaming options?

You can buy a ARM Raspberry Pi Zero 2 (and alike) for about ~15$, add this a MicroSD, a K/M and a screen to attach to hdmi, and you have a fully fledged Linux PC with basic office capabilities.

I am a former pc-gamer. Built my last PC in 2009. Even then it was a budget build (AMD gfx).

A Raspberry Pi 4 B 2GB would cost about ~40€ (there are cheaper chinese variant) would match a 2009 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB ram and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330. You can power it with a powerbank.

They assumed that every download was by someone who would otherwise have paid over 53 USD for it, which by itself is an absurd delusion.

You're wrong, your presumption assume one single person to download a single file he/she never ear about.

What's most likely, people download ROMs for nostalgia, ie: something they, or their parents, bought them when they were children. So, if we assume someone download their "childhood library" which was already paid, of about ~30 cartridge (admitted the download is the right one, and didn't required multiple download attempt); in the view of the FBI, that single person "stole" 3180 USD he/she paid ~20 years ago.

You're not just supposed to lose the things you bought, you're supposed to be fined (for attempt to play the product you already paid) with price updated to current industry standard.

Steam Deck 1 (also called "Steam Deck One" or "The First Steam Deck") uses Ryzen 2. Not gonna say anything else.

xcancel (fromerly twitter) statement announced here by SKG

Thanks for the thumbnail link, I've added it

Looks more like a DSSL testing (which had dedicated cores/hardware) rather the actual potential. Also, one single title, wake me when there's a test to match everything SteamDeck can emulate (Switch 1 too)

If is designed to work on Linux (Linux drivers), that's all you need to distro-hop the device until the end of time

First off that’s a strawman It’s not just one guy.

If you discuss with an idiot, he can drag into his idiocy; there's no need to defend Ross Scott, the issue is completely different level.

His (the person you reply to) whole argument is more on the line "they lose, so it mean they must be wrong" (or doing something wrong.

Picture the global politics today: human rights are failing all over and someone say "human rights advocate are losers, and I am cool by saying this".

There's dissonance between what people think they say, and what they actually say. @ImplyingImplications thinks he's cool because denounce the losers while in fact he's just saying "I don't deserve these rights" <- he's the only true loser because his enemies didn't need to start the fight from the beginning (at the last with himself).

If you pick hardware/features from company that don't support your OS of choice, I don't see this to happened, not just in future, but ever. Just picture someone buying software/hardware for Sony's FreeBSD (PlayStation) and expecting it to work on Windows: this doesn't make any sense.

Linux is an insane exception to this because it's the Linux community of engineers who reverse engineered. It's not about wait for "Linux has to be ready", but be sure the money you thrown at your hardware are well spent.

If AMD company suddenly shut down, your hardware on Windows is just an unsecured brick which in few years become useless. On Linux it will be always supported, bug fixed and updated thanks to OpenSource drivers.

I don't know what's going on with your steam install to take this much time to log you in, but it looks like your Linux install is left with some dangling parts.

First, we need to be clear if we're talking about Torvald's Linux vs Microsoft's Windows... or a bunch of company that don't give a fuck about you.

Sound boards, GPU and all this insane amount of hardware runs on Linux better than any Microsoft thing may ever hope to. Your issue with your sound card is not Linux... it's called "Creative".

There are way to develop sound cards and have them working on day -1 (even a day before it's release)... and way to put trick and trinkets in the binary blob without documenting anything (or, more precisely, keeping purposely hidden, since you always need source code to make binaries blob). In this case the Linux community rip and tear every detail by their own: the time took is never Linux or Linux's community but, put more plainly, just the company who took your money and said to you " oh! So you want to run this thing on your Linux install? Well, what about: fuck you! Is that OK?"
