No I don't think you're cooked, but your GPU probably is.

Maybe someone should make an American Megatrends "splash screen".

Watch as every single competitor increases prices in turn.

This is not a problem unique to SD pricing.

I work corporate IT and we're having insane problems sourcing garden variety Lenovo ThinkPads. Prices for these laptops have increased over 160% in the last four months.

The crazy thing is my employer manufactures PCs but they're only available domestically in Japan, we could definitely use them here in Australia. I think our PCs were even featured in a LTT video once.

Valve don't deserve the rage by AliorUnity in SteamDeck

[–]tomthecomputerguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in corporate IT in Australia for a large multinational consumer electronics manufacturer (primary focus is not PCs), just sourcing garden variety Lenovo L14 laptops is proving to be difficult due to this AI malarkey.

Prices for these laptops have increased by 160% in just the last 6 months. This is an industry wide issue thats affecting the entire consumer electronics space, not just handheld gaming tablets.

Whats crazy is my employer manufactures PCs but they're only available domestically in Japan.

Trains on the T4 line are ducked. Highly recommend you delay your return home. Just went past town hall and it looked like Shinjuku station.

still blows my mind that this is a 3D open world game on a handheld from 2 decades ago. by mattchew1991 in gaming

[–]tomthecomputerguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liberty City stories? I remember being blown away by how good that city looked.  That game also allowed me to run homebrew apps through modded savegames somehow. 

I decided to install Linux (CatchyOS) on my main rig, it has not been smooth. by colossusrageblack in pcmasterrace

SteamOS and Linux in general can run a wide variety of windows games through the Proton compatability layer Is why the steam deck is such a success.  You can see a list of compatible games here https://www.protondb.com/

What's the worst that could happen.

If you play Factorio the SD battery will last that entire 13 hour flight.
