And you know what it wouldn’t be hard. Force users to be online and to log in to steam and if you don’t log in to steam which would hold your premium user pass which would enable the randomized access key to the premium/registered version of Steam OS that you’re able to have full control over vs the downloaded iso that has half the features and no way to unlock the premium features/using the OS, being able to access the VR Games, access anything up and coming and new releases without paying.

…

Also going off of the market trends of Google and Apple always making a new model with planned obsolescence with the old one and locking features due to the inability to update.

So one of the biggest gaming companies on the market right now (Steam) is making model one. When will model two be released and will you have to pay annually for it? Will there be planned obsolescence?

We don’t know? We’re ½ and ½ putting faith into an open source software with gaming hardware in a pc sold by Steam…

That’s a fuckin’ leap of faith.

I don’t I’m just going off of the last decade and a half of market trends shifting away from traditional ownership of a product you puchase to forced renting with an indefinite subscription service.

I guess I should’ve said I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a subscription service after it does well and then moves features and then people will have to pay for premium Steam OS or full registered version or full access with all options vs free to try open source OS that is restricted from users adding any new features via open source that would make the premium obsolete in order to maintain revenue.

I 100% wouldn’t be surprised.

Am now I actually wasn’t when I wrote that. I have like a fucked up first thing in the morning agitation psychosis thing and writing down bs replies makes it fun because then I do medically smoke cannabis see what I wrote and then delete it after laughing and saying fucking shit…

It’s kind of a wild ride.

Here ya go official OS. https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/download?ver=steamdeck

Hey guys there’s a ram and storage price gouching going on because of the AI bs. Hey guys here’s a pc with an open source OS re-built for 1,000$ each. Hey guys there will be a new model next year and they might even start a subscription service next year but you’ll all buy it anyways because the price point will seem better but you’ll all bitch about the subscription service…

Fuckin’ shit.

Please for the love of God don’t do my stupid ideas. I don’t condone any of them.

The most psychopathic thing I can possibly think to do is mix liquid diarrhea from various animals with concrete mix and wear a gorilla suit and just start building shit walls around them with bricks.

Someone should make a mass loader of like 10,000 bluetooth devices that don’t exist, pre-generated and loaded ready to go and when they scan your device it auto loads 10,000 devices and it overloads the scanner and crashes. Bonus points if the generator is built-in to the device to re-use on other flock cameras after the first hit :P

The messiest part would be not getting caught on one of the cameras before, during or after doing the deed.

R. C. Cars operated by extenders to the antennas, you could have someone drive one around to take focus off of them and have a printout of a human face in high detail.

You have full arm gloves on and you use contacts and a wig just in case. Could also do a full body gorilla suit with contacts in and have a clip on device near your hands that emits a bleach mist so your finger prints aren’t there. Like spider man’s cartridges but for bleach misting.

I miss Windows XP. They should’ve stopped there.

I haven’t figured out an efficient way to run widows programs on Linux. I know wine exists and the vm’s. Maybe it’s cause I didn’t stick with Linux for more than 2 months.

I was super into Ubuntu when it first came out but I got bored of it really quick. Tried it again a couple years ago and it was still hard to navigate.

Eventually they will be urging users to do a back up before updating.

Depends on the manufacturer and if you purchased in store VS online. Also, every computer purchased online has the full specs and if you know what to look for you won’t be taken advantage of by the nerd that looks like they know about computers but really only talks up the most expensive one.

Yeah but the thing is, unless it has to do with governments and anti trust against corporations or national security interests there’s never going to be a major shift to Linux.

France recently changed to Linux on a majority of their government pc’s in an attempt to remove dependence on Microsoft and the US and to maintain national security.

Yep stepping in dog shit isn’t good for anyone. Windows 11 is synonymous with dog shit.
