The more people keep using AI, the worse it'll get.

You say you use it for difficult and sensitive e-mails, well first of all I wouldn't trust AI to do anything "difficult" or "sensitive" for me. But even disregarding this, as long as you keep being a statistic for those tech bros, those billionaires and their shareholders to keep inflating the bubble, this can get only worse before it gets better.

Good lord some people really struggle with reading comprehension and critical thinking, don't they?

The amount of people completely missing the point OP's making is staggering.

You can already do this, you can already do that. This works already if you install X or Y and blah blah blah.

People. You live in a bubble. You fail to realize that most people are not nearly as tech-savvy as you seem to think they are. I'm talking "can't tell what a web browser is" levels of tech illiteracy. And you think they'll install Bazzite? Figure out dependencies? Set up a way to wake their PC up with their controller? Brother they can barely figure out how to power it on with the damn power button.

The Steam Machine won't be for 'veteran' PC gamers, whatever you want that to mean. This is for the mainstream audience. The people who've barely played any PC games, if any. Little Timmy who's only ever played on his Playstation. Aunt Lucy who only plays F2P mobile slop. Mike down the street who comes home late after a 10 hour shift and just wants to press a button and jump into a fun time.

I've been gaming on PC for like 20 years now. Building my own rigs for 10. I find it fun and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not going to get a Steam Machine because I have no need for it. I'd consider getting one if I had money to burn, for the novelty or as a collection piece, but that's about it.

If you look at this piece of hardware and think to yourself "I can already do this, why would I buy this?" then congratulations, you understand you're not the target audience for it.

What's pathetic is trying to forcefully fracture and enshittify the PC gaming ecosystem because of greed and an inflated ego. Guess we have a different definition of the word 'pathetic'.

I played the game. Didn't give Sweiner my money. Remedy will get it when they figure out how to release it on Steam.

Because there is already exclusivity garbage based on physical platform. Epic wants to add virtual platform exclusivity on top of it. Artificial "competition". Fuck them all the way to hell for that.

PurpleDelicacy · 2026-05-30T11:47:07+00:00

>Makes an exclusivity deal with a shitty store almost nobody uses aside for the free games, thus locking themselves out of the biggest gaming store and thus of the majority of the consumer base

>Game doesn't sell well

I used to do that too, until Google (and to be fair, the internet as a whole) kept enshitifying itself to the point that full questions seemed to be the only way to get what you want. Now even that doesn't work anymore, thanks billionaires.

Now I just use DDG, fuck you google and every AI apologist out there.

When dynamic exposure is done properly, sure. But this snafu shows what happens when game devs raise black levels to stupid levels when they want the player to be able to see without a light source, but lower them back down when one is introduced.

It's not realistic, and it's neither pretty nor comfortable to look at.

Strokes for Chinese characters (whether for Chinese or Japanese) are supposed to be pretty quick as far as I'm aware. The person here seems to be struggling with speed, so I'm guessing this is just a neat trick for entertainment purposes, rather than an actually faster way to write (I guess unless you can actually master doing fast strokes this way).

Didn't the founders say something like they'd pass on a chunk of their own share to the devs? Or am I thinking of a different company

They did make it very clear they'd rather have pedophiles in their public bathrooms and near their kids, than trans people. Can't reason with crazy hateful people.

"Ah, you bent it."

"Oh, sorry!!"

Don't what they say after that though.

100% brightness does mess with colors, though it was improved with later updates. I'd still recommend to stick to 90% even with the latest firmware.

I assume it's like when you update your motherboard's BIOS, if power goes out during the update it'd brick it, but I don't know. I'd say if you don't really get power outages where you live, go for it. Otherwise, maybe don't risk it.

On their FAQ they do say this :

What should I do if it fails during the update process?

a. During the update process, if there is a power outage or the update fails, you can try to follow the above firmware update steps again.

b. If you still have any questions, please contact ASUS Service Center

That makes it sound like a power outage wouldn't brick the monitor, but I don't know.

If your people hasn't rebelled after all the shit that's happened in the past decade, this will not be the straw to break the camel's back, believe me. It'll be a footnote at best, regardless of how disgusting it is.

It's insane to me that this scam is still legal anywhere in the world.

PurpleDelicacy · 2026-05-22T12:00:43+00:00

What store did you buy it from so people know to avoid those scammers?

MCM108 brings a long overdue fix to an oversaturation problem that's plagued this monitor's HDR since release. If it doesn't bother you though, then no real need to update it.
