Why are you answering for OP?

He cant sue them for leaving. He can (and did) sue them for collusion, at which point they promptly closed up shop because they knew what they were doing was illegal.

Intel giving up on the silicon industry to gamble on Bingo now?

All I want is family sharing in the stable branch…

The best value PC is the Steam Deck. Period.

I’d like to replace this with a PC that has maybe slightly higher specs than the Steam Deck.

Why?

Are there any pre-built solutions that are really affordable?

I mean pretty much all of the many different modern x86 handhelds deliver this.

Do you need it to be a handheld? Desktop PC? MiniPC?

Define “affordable”?

The nice thing about HGL is that you don’t need any 3rd party launchers.

Yes, they all do

The purpose is simplification. Ive tried them all and Yunohost is the best of the bunch. Though theyre all missing featured that others have.

I didn’t say anything about their stock price…

You’re welcome!

Finally a use for those back buttons

The AI bubble is never going to “pop” for Nvidia because they’re not dependent AI. Other than slightly modifying the design of their chips. When the AI bubble does pop Nvidia will just go back to selling cards to gamers and professionals. They’ll be the biggest profiteer of the bubble.

Yes, I do. It’s a metaphor that you don’t seem to understand.

My point is that a bubble can either deflate rapidly (severe market correction, or a “burst”), or it can deflate slowly (a bear market in a certain sector).

No, it cannot. It is only the former. The entire point of the metaphor is that its a rapid deflation. A bubble does not slowly leak, it pops.

I haven’t watched TV since 2007…

There are plenty of repositories for F-Droid

This is a thing of the past at this point.

and people may get affected by malware if they don’t pay attention

The same can happen on any other store.

Using ad blockers. What are you doing?

Choosing not to load potential spyware, malware and bloatware while looking at free content is no more piracy

It is not free content. You’re just spreading disinformation. Just like the movies you download when pirating are not free content. The payment is watching ads. You’re utilizing software to forego that payment (just like piracy).

I’ve never seen a bubble deflate, but I digress.
