this would be an upgrade to the baseline expectation

the first step if you have 0 clue is find out if the switch you have can be hacked via software. yhr ones yhat can be hacked via software, are the ~20M switched produced before May 2018. If your switch was made after (e. g model with the better battery life switch lite, switch oled, the few patched oh switch after 2018) it requires a hard mod to hack, or alternatively use a switch cart.

firmware for the switch im particular doesnt matter much unless youre hacking it with pegasus(?), which means you had an ancient swotch that eas never updated past like fw 4.0

though if you had a bad experience with jailbreaking nintendo stuff, I dont recommend it unless youre willing to learn about the upkeep about how to handle updates and stuff. the switch is alightly harder than previous devices (and imo isnt a high bar, but if you had problems with previous devices, its not looking good)

the advantage for pci-e generations isn’t the gpu side, but SSD side(USB too). CPUs by design, have a limited amount of PCI-E lanes they can distribute. Modern SSD’s primarily use 4x pci-e lanes, but if you have a generation newer, you can allocate half as many lanes to achieve the same speed.

Since at the moment, the value of even faster SSD’s are useless, what ACTUALLY becomes off value is having multiple m.2 slots for expansion. for example, instead of having 1 m.2 running pci-e 4.0x4lanes, you can achieve the same speed at pci-e 5.0x2lanes, or pci-e 6.0x1lane. Using less lanes on m.2 slots means you can allocate more bandwidth to other components(more m.2, more USB ports, etc).

this for eaxmple was the reason why experimental gpus like the Asus Dual RTX 4060ti existed, as its a 8 lane gpu, which had an on board to use the other lanes as ssd storage on motherboards that supported bifurcation.

i broke debian on my plex server and said fuck it and migrated to endeavor because im more familiar with arch

its actually the sole reason why i ended up paying for plex myself. its not because on ME that i ended up using plex, its moreso everyone else that I want to give my server access to with the least amount of hurdles that made me ultimately go that route.

for AI inference (generally hardware agnostic, which is different than AI training, which is heavily CUDA based) favors vram. Digits has to compete against both apples m series chips at max ram capacity, as well as the recently announced AMD Strix Halo devices, which come with up to 128 GB shared ram.

A fully kitted out Strix Halo device with 128gb ram is 2000$, a fully kitted out Mac Studio with 128GB ram is just under 5000$. Nvidia claims it starts at 3000$, so finding out the 128gb cost is still in the air.

besides the lower bar of entry due to being free, Midias research has shown that the younger generation prefers online multiplayer, and as you grow older, you start to favor single player games more.

one example of a steam interactive event was when valve was actively giving viewers who were watching the game awards through steam a raffle to get a free steam deck

i usually refer to it like email but all the emails are set to public. it doesnt matter which domain you use, you basically see most of it. then explain it like, you dont create a yahoo email to email only yahoo email, or a gmail account to only gmail users. they all share a public api and send shit to eachother with it.

the problem at least in the shortrun, is that if you got that many ssds running in single lane on a consumer platform at the likely inflated cost the drives would be, it would almost be cheaper just to get the workstation platform at that point.

if you’re interested in running local AI models, that market should be looking at the strix halo desktops. that was basically 80% of the marketing framework did for its framework desktop.

would you have prefered they paid more for bleeding edge 3gb gddr stacks and put 24gb when only a subset would actually need it?

im just sitting over here waiting to get a good deal for a 4tb ssd. the fact that they arent any better than what i paid for late 2023 isnt helping.

how I see it is what one intends to use the software for. for ones self, and for commision work, the other options are perfectly fine (and imo encouraged). the sole reason why someone would use the adobe products is if theyre looking to work in a company already using the suite, or they already just happen to have the skillset already in it, and switching would change workflow.

anyone learning from the start imo should consider the other options first.

ill try to name things most people havent played.

I heavily recommend people to try Downhill Domination. think like snowboard kids or mario kart(specifically mount wario or dk mountain tracks) but on mountain bikes. Silly bike combat with soo many side paths for players to try to forge their own way on winning a race.

is it possibly, yes. but if you have to ask yhat its possible, you likely dont have the skillset required to do it, and paying somone else is typically not cost effective

i actually think its not the worst priced framework product ironically. Prebuilt 1k pcs tend to be something like a high end cpu + 4060 desktop anyways, so specs wise, its relatively speaking, reasonable. take for example cyberpower pcs build here, which is of the few oems iirc Gamers Nexus thinks doesn’t charge as much of a SI tax on assembly. it’s acutally not incredibly far off performance wise. I’d argue its the most value Framework product per dollar ironically.

the model clearly was designed around to cut coat corners and imo, meant to partially replace their chromebook line. using the older 13th gen cpu, ontop of having features like a kensington lock makes it sound like its the cheap option for school leasing.

they already announced pricing for them.

1099 for the base ai max model with 32gb(?), 1999 for fully maxed with the top sku.
