I'm a million points in so far for the week, took some time to figure out to configure it and find all the linux-friendly tooling like fahcontrol.

Remember @everyone to check your $sensors and those of us on AMD to setup fan curvature to keep our equipment in good health. It gets a bit toasty.

Right now, I mainly run it between bedtime to around morning or noon.

Just built a Intel NUC a few weeks ago for like $800. I would have been down to buy this but looks like it won't be out for a while so.

Honestly if Privacy were high priority I think I would just go for a Raptor Talos II POWER9 with Gentoo as my OS.

I can respect them for trying to hit 2 targets at once though -- privacy and the average consumer (like apple with their Mini's)

Excellent.
I have my Valve Index ordered
and have waited a while so games
and support could catch up since
Valve Index's launch.

Very excited to dive into VR and enjoy.

Nice of them to include a clock. Kindof reminds me of Gnome a little bit :P This kind of stuff really intrigues me. Like instead of having screens with limited pixel density the ability to have a VR headset and virtual screens of any pixel density and scale really is interesting.

Fuck... okay maybe if they do those things I might forgive them and actually buy their new shit.

Lets be honest we all know what Operating System they are using in the Metro.

Quoting: scaineI ditched DOTA2 after about 5 hours because of the 'community'.

Yeah so the disciplinary reporting of DOTA puts bad players in "prison" where they have to earn their way out by fighting with other prisoners and winning X amount of games.

And also IIUC matchmaking differentiates as the player climbs in levels so the level 0 experience is going to be like "general admission" -- your choice to not stick with it but it does get better as you level up.

Quoting: ArdjeWould be nice if they can apply some ip matching to match the original Steam account with the Smurf Steam account, and address warnings there too. But then again, that might be a privacy issue.
Maybe they should ask the right to process your IP against fraud cases like this.

Banning by IP doesn't work so great. It detours some of the problem but creates others.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm not too surprised Epic's store hasn't taken much of a bite. [...] at which point you realize it's actually very small.

Sounds like EPIC [FAIL] is .... (drum roll) Running Out of Steam.

For serious now -- this is a very important metric and data collected today -- 95 million and EST ~855K Active Steam Linuxers.

Very cool they are mentioning proton, though I think it's just a "Bering land bridge" to get gamers from Windows to Linux -- I am very choosy about what Proton-only games I buy and I suspect many others are too as they don't want to pay money only to be disappointed.

My gaming library is packed like a fridge full of good stuff thanks for Valve and awesome devs making Linux their-own.
