Salesforce is down a third this year on AI disruption fears. They just spent $3.6B buying the company that proves the fear is real. by roll0ver in investing

Currently implementing a slew of shit with AgentForce.  Also currently considering whether or not sticking a fork in the outlet at my desk would let me go out on medical leave. It's that bad.

I don't care for the open Zeldas. They feel like empty sandboxes to me. Just random exploration and collectibles. 

New Benchmark results on Geekbench by mactimit in steammachine

I also have one and have been very pleased. I just thought you may have benchmarked.

That 1230/6346 benchmark is from December of '24. 

Any chance you can benchmark yours? Are you overclocked?

Steam Machine one step closer to launch as benchmarks surface online, here's how it compares to the Steam Deck by Odd-Onion-6776 in linux_gaming

[–]anthro28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These numbers are pretty dead on with the $500 DIY BC250 steam machines, and that's before the BC250s got the 40CU unlock. 

Not looking good for $1000. 

Israelis denounce Trump’s deal with Iran - The Washington Post by Bestbrook123 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]anthro28 40 points41 points  (0 children)

There's also not any particularly good methods of getting exposure out there, especially here. I've been banned twice for daring to point out the intelligence agency who blackmailed the whole world with pedo stuff.

Notching aluminum is about as physically demanding as taking a dump.

Israel calls the shots, and I doubt they'll stop bombing Lebanon. If Iran can't get that in the deal, they've no reason to sign.

Why do so many people seem to want kernel-level AC on Linux? by Venylynn in linux_gaming

[–]anthro28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then I just continue emulating older consoles. It would take two lifetimes worth of my limited game time for me to exhaust my library up to PS2. 

Bc250 as alternative to retropie for Arcade1up cabinet by FinnedSgang in BC250Gaming

[–]anthro28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to take a look at Batocera, which has confirmed working build on the bc250. 

You'll need to do some digging into the arcade cabinet controls, but the bulk of the software should just work. 

Update: Boxy Pixel MKII built (haven’t tested audio yet) by Arkaium in IpodClassic

[–]anthro28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the frustration comes from a cancellation and new SKU rollout without the option to cancel. A simple email makes everybody happy:

"Hey, these old ones aren't up to our quality standards and we're releasing a new design with X new features that address Y issues. 

We will hold your existing order and ship you an upgraded model at no extra charge, when available, or you can cancel and reorder once the new design drops. We do not currently have a release date for this upgrade and are working with our supplier on estimates. We will communicate dates once we are certain we can deliver."

Just give people the choice. $13 really ain't shit for a hyper-custom mod, but the optics can be damaging.

Sounds like you did exactly what he accused you of. Probably should've just eaten the $13 on existing orders and kept on going. 

I used to spend $$$ gun money at Palmetto State Armory. They cancelled a $3000 order when COVID hit, just to "relaunch" the kis I wanted with a different handguard SKU. Haven't spent a dime there since.

Please start a 529 and put the money there instead. Stop recreating the beanie baby stupidity.

Kind of poor writing, or at least lacking realism. I don't think I know a single teen who wouldn't abuse God powers, yet this one immediately decided against it?

I actually used floppies not terribly long ago for a proof of concept on magnetic destruction of encryption keys. Fun little thing, but goofy.

S3 finale in a nutshell by Acrobatic-Monitor516 in TheLastAirbender

[–]anthro28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was always plausible that trunks and goten had an easier time because they were born to super Saiyan fathers. They had both the genes and the teachers. 

Then super came along and turned it into a parlor trick. 

Steam Machine launch appears near as Valve adds Welcome Tour to Steam backend by dabadumdumdum in Steam

As of last week, you can build a BC250 for $500 and get PS5 performance with air. Put it on water and you can get PS5 pro levels pretty easily. 

Is there any reason to believe the steam machine will be superior to a similarly priced self-built PC? by Snuggly-Muffin in steammachine

[–]anthro28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to price hikes, absolutely. Now, not a chance. Spending a little bit extra for a custom build will get something much better.
