You don’t have evidence either other than “trust Valve bro” which we seen was a very bad thing.
>>
>>107742919
NTA, but the evidence is in the fact that the EU hasn't fined Valve yet for review manipulation.
The EU has strict legal requirements to publishing consumer reviews of products, which require the platform not manipulate the representation of said reviews in any way, such as using a cut-off point that purposely omits poor ratings.

Steam is a known entity to the EU, and has been fined before for other breaches of EU legislation.
Yet not for this.
>>
>>107731752
steam was already established before consoles killed themselves off, the other publishers tried to compete but steam already had a majority of IP's willing to participate, so they won by default

it's still a locked down platform that is a pain in the ass to support and consumer-hostile, see asahi linux troubles to get everything working on various M generations.
>But now Intel has nearly caught up with ARM performance on its x86 mobile Lunar Lake chips.
yes because arm, x86, riscv, it really does not matter, cpu these days all have some kind of very similar "internal assembly language" that split all the uops into smaller instructions anyways, it's all about design tradeoffs, amd/intel have been making chips with certains loads in mind and apple with others, it's really all there is to it.
I'm glad to see intel and amd getting into this segment too as we definitely need power efficient and performant chips, it's a shame that it will be bga-only, for now amd allow manufacturers to use soldered or dimm ram but I'm not sure it will last as ram speed get faster and faster... maybe camm2 can save us?
I really want socketable efficient chips even if I lose a bit of efficiency as a trade-off, I'm sure there is a good middle-ground atleast for efficient desktop-class computers like the steam machine design-wise or consoles.

What's the issue?
>>
>>107742027
pretty much. where "AI" shines is in domain-specific, targeted applications. like the other guy said, i also have set up a frigate cctv system, and just being able to record and notify when things happen that have the kind of context only a modern AI could do is really useful, like for example when "a person enters the front porch", while the front porch as a zone has been a thing forever, it's just an area you define as a drawing over your camera feed, it's the person part that's interesting. at best before this new ai stuff you could only detect motion, smart stuff could filter out things like camera noise, trees and rain, but to actually tell if it was looking at a person is another story entirely, it can't be fooled by an animal. it can tell the difference between a cat and a person, and this was unthinkable 10 years ago. such models don't require much. i'm running mine currently just on a haswell cpu, no acceleration. it's not ideal but the fact it works shows it doesn't need much

If you use a password manager, you can't remember all your passwords if your password manager is on your desktop personal computer and you end up resetting your pass anyway.
If you access your password manager on your mobile personal computing device (smart phone), other apps (short for applications) can access your clipboard and clipboard history and know your password.

First day on /g/?

Have you ever considered the possibility that some day normal consumer won't be able to afford a computer anymore?
With GPU and RAM price increases, this nightmare scenario seems likely.

Wireless Internet connections might also get so full of traffic that one day fast Internet will be a luxury as well.

1. Give people cheap tech so they get dependent on it.
2. When they're addicted, start ramping up the price + scarcity
3. Win

Me? I'm already learning ways to survive without technology. In a few years you might have to live without tech.

$3500 today will buy you the flagship of custom brands like eurocom and sager. prices could quadruple, and i wouldnt care, the market is so saturated that mfgs are creating fake crisis, they cant make a buck off of budget equipment because the budget market is dominated by used shit. you really dont know how good you have it right now

https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.
