  • All these handhelds have decent AMD hardware, I would bet money that absolutely any new steamOS handheld will have similar or more powerful hardware than the OG deck. This new Lenovo device specifically is more powerful than the OG deck as well.

    And with steamOS being Linux, a free and open source system, hardware fragmentation wont really be a thing. With Android hardware fragmentation was bad because many devices would never get updated after a year or so, but this is true Linux and valve is a consumer friendly company so I don’t really know what you mean talking about hardware fragmentation.

    This is great for valve, and great for gamers. There is no down side to this.









  • Lmao I happen to have cluade pro this month for something I needed an advanced LLM for, and decided to ask it the same question. First try it gave me a wedding story too, and it even included an “edit” lmao.

    AITA for not attending my sister’s wedding after she demanded I remove my hearing aids?

    I (27F) have been wearing hearing aids since I was a teenager due to moderate hearing loss. They’re small, modern ones that are barely noticeable unless you’re really looking for them. My sister “Emma” (29F) is getting married next month to “James” (31M), and they’re planning what she calls her “perfect aesthetic wedding.”

    Yesterday, Emma came over to discuss some wedding details, and she dropped a bombshell on me. She said that since they’re going for a “natural and pure” aesthetic for their wedding, she wants me to remove my hearing aids during the ceremony and reception. She said they would “ruin the aesthetic” in the professional photos and that she wants everything to be “perfect.”

    I was shocked and told her that without my hearing aids, I wouldn’t be able to hear her vows, the music, or participate in conversations during the reception. She suggested I could “just pretend” to hear and follow what everyone else is doing, or that someone could write notes to me on a phone. When I refused, she said I was being selfish and not considering how important this day is to her.

    Our parents are split on this. Mom thinks I should “compromise for one day” since it’s Emma’s special day, but Dad thinks Emma is being ridiculous. Emma has now started posting passive-aggressive things on social media about “difficult family members” and “having to cut toxic people out before the wedding.”

    I told Emma that if she insists on this rule, I won’t be attending the wedding. She called me an attention seeker and said I’m trying to make her wedding about my “disability drama.” Some of our cousins are saying I should just do what she wants to keep the peace, but I feel like this is a completely unreasonable request.

    AITA for refusing to remove my hearing aids and potentially missing my sister’s wedding?

    Edit: Wow, this blew up! Thanks for all the responses. To answer some common questions:

    1. Yes, I’ve worn my hearing aids to every family event, including all our family photos, and it’s never been an issue before
    2. The hearing aids are beige/neutral colored and match my skin tone
    3. Emma has always been particular about appearances but has never targeted my hearing aids specifically until now
    4. She’s said nothing about other guests’ glasses, contact lenses, or other medical devices





  • “AI heavily increased GPU prices” Nvidia one of the greediest companys around increased the prices of GPUs, not necessarily AIs fault because nvidia is in direct control of their card prices.

    Take a look at Intel’s new GPUs, they are actually priced in a way that isn’t fist fucking the consumer.
