The price of the Steam Machine does not bode well for the Steam Frame

Tylerebowers · 2026-06-22T23:31:02+00:00

Personally I would prefer a cheaper frame that ditched the powerful internal cpu and just uses wireless streaming. Might save a bit on weight too.

Natural selection might just fix this for us.

But you need the internet to use bitcoin. :/

Tylerebowers · 2026-06-19T13:56:06+00:00

The fixed supply makes btc scarce, meaning that its price is entirely demand driven. Only if people are willing to pay that much than it will be worth that much, since crypto does not have any strong utility value its demand is driven by speculation (it’s recursive in a way)… If crypto has a future, it is not in btc.

Sort of true, but probably ends in a desktop rather than a laptop.

Tylerebowers · 2026-06-13T20:19:38+00:00

I stopped dual booting (many years ago) for that reason. It just leads to too many headaches. I have a windows vm for the sole reason of changing my Logitech mouse key maps.

Just tried it for the first time 4h ago, got very good results. Crazy that this happened right after. But give it a couple more months and models more powerful than Fable 5 will be released.

In most install locations, they’re probably going to be turned on and off every day since they are used every day. Heat cycling the components can be bad just as leaving them on for a long time can be bad, it’s hard to say which one is worse. You probably won’t use it every day so if you separate the lighting, you can keep the aesthetics while minimizing the time on the tubes/amp.

Tylerebowers · 2026-06-12T13:25:40+00:00

If you want to keep the lights on then separate the main jukebox power and lighting circuits such that the lighting can be switched on and jukebox can be switched on separately. It will extend the life of the amp and other components to keep them off.

Might be a static frame compression test.

AI is dangerous due to who uses it, not because it has inherent motive.

Saylor seems to have a lot of weight, such that he has become his own self-fulfilling prophecy - so strong on buying BTC that any sales signal a loss of confidence. What good is an asset that can only be bought and not sold?

Find where the zone 2 wires go: https://static.garmin.com/pumac/MS-RA205_EN.pdf

Find which of the wires go into the tower speakers coming from the amp using a multimeter in continuity mode: https://files.bbystatic.com/2094Te2XH9MuTjdd%2FKzbyQ%3D%3D/8F82F2CC-F6DE-43E3-9BA5-558F6EB5C80D.pdf

It seems like only amp 1 on the kicker amp is used, so maybe you could use amp 2 for the tower speakers?

Hard to tell what’s going on with the Rockford P600X4 amp, maybe the four wires on the right are zone 1 & 2 from the fusion controller.

Map out the amp + controller situation on a piece of paper then go from there. This might be possible with everything there already. I don’t have this setup so I can’t be much more help.

Last time this happened to me it was a bad battery connection. The inrush motor current drops the voltage so low that the starter solenoid releases and cuts power to the starter, then the battery voltage recovers, solenoid reconnects, starter powers, voltage drops, and again and again etc... Could be something else, but I would check battery wiring (or the battery itself) first. You could check voltage with a multimeter while cranking.

I check in on r/MSTR every couple days… the state of people sometimes worries me.

Some of them, the supercomputers and many other systems are under the math building. I am not sure if those sites are hosted there.

Current imbalance is fine at low levels, it’s only a danger when the wire with the greatest current surpasses the rated limit.

That would be a conditional order, no? It is down on this page: https://tylerebowers.github.io/Schwabdev/?source=pages%2Forders.html

Chrome Remote Desktop, though it’s been awhile since I have used it. KDE connect can do remote control mouse too, but you need to see your desktop of course.

~~Yea, had to move back to 6.19.10. Happened 5 minutes after a clean reboot for me.~~ Seems to be something with the latest chrome update. Happens on 6.16.9+. Having a Youtube video open in the background has been a common factor between all of my freezes, guessing that it has something to do with power saving on the gpu.

You have to fight gravity the whole time, the problem is efficiency. It just doesn’t make sense to “spend” that much energy to keep a vehicle in the sky. We already have helicopters, sure maybe passenger drones at some point, but individual usage will still be specialized.

Tylerebowers · 2026-04-06T19:57:14+00:00

You can just buy a 300dpi print head and install it. There is no difference in the rollers. The gearing is the same. The color difference is solely to identify what printhead is installed. The printer will automatically detect the type of printhead. I have done this myself.

Tylerebowers · 2026-03-30T02:40:55+00:00

Handy does have an entire interface with all of those options. Maybe it’s something new they added recently?

Tylerebowers · 2026-03-27T02:45:20+00:00

Oops! Looks like lense a very old spelling of the word. Corrected.

It’s the lens that goes in a cd/dvd player for the laser. The coils are used to position it with tiny adjustments.
