The Specs page has a list of safety features. Sadly it's an image and not text, so here's a direct link:

There are more than those two options, both of which are "take unnecessary risk on a hugely uncertain investment."

The comment I replied to... replied to the comment about GamerNexus. They estimated a comparable build (to the $1049 Steam Machine) based on their benchmarks would be about $979.

While it does not come up in interviews, it does seem to come up during resume filtering. (Plenty of jobs I'm otherwise easily qualified for that I didn't get contacted for, even back when basically having a pulse and knowing code could get you any job you wanted.)

$1049 - $979 = $70 (7% savings)

We use that feature, and it's faster than our 300 Mbps internet even though both gaming laptops are on WiFi. shrug but yeah I don't know that it's a "killer feature" when we're talking about a device that omitted features and is still $1050. If this made it $1100 and lost 10% of sales to increase sales by 1%, it's a loss for the company ;)

Could you please help me by listing one or two prebuilt towers with sufficient gaming performance for $1100?

I see examples like this: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/cyberpowerpc-gaming-desktop-... ($1200)

The Steam Machine is $150 cheaper, less storage, and due to lower TDP going to perform more poorly. But... I want something I can hide behind my TV that is very quiet. Can you help me find towers like that?

Looks like the holdings update at the end of each month. Check back in ~8 days and look for SPCX!

I bet at least 90% of people buying this connect it to WiFi and never think about connection speed again!

Personally... my internet is only 300 Mbps. My WiFi connection is roughly on par with 1GbE. I have a very small pool of 2.5GbE capable devices, but overall I'm just not fussed about making the switch.

> In my opinion, it would've been worth the money to just buy a gaming PC, put it in a garage, hidden room, etc with the networking gear, then stream it over the network to a Steam Link or using Apollo/Artemis/Moonlight/Parsec; anything.

I'm someone who has built dozens of gaming PCs, and wired my house. I also have zero interest in doing the above... if I have to pay few hundred extra to get a Steam machine hooked up to a TV without all that hassle... I'll do that.

It's not the absolute best value for gaming. It's not horrible in current market conditions but it's also not targeting "best value for gaming" anywhere in the marketing materials. It's hardware that can play your Steam library on your TV. There are harder, less expensive ways to do that, as there have been for ages.

If you're a console gamer, there are less expensive, just as easy options to play console games, so it's definitely not suited for that market.

It's really only catering to people with disposable income that want a cute way to hook up a Steam-capable machine to a TV. It's not a huge market, nor is it a non-existent market.

It was probably a bigger market at $750 than $1050, but we can't have nice things.

All I've never done the diagonals before... oops.

I'm 99% sure this was an invalid Sudoku puzzle.

Just before putting the 2 in here (above the pencil 6), I put in 6 and it said Mistake, so I erased it and put 2. But... why wouldn't 6 be valid there?

EDIT: As per replies, "X" Sudoku is variant with a different rule. While I saw the diagonals "highlighted" in another color, I didn't know that rule. Perhaps it could be added to the page for those unfamiliar with this non-standard Sudoku variant?

Are zoning laws in the United States at the federal level? Or by township and city?

Does every city in America have the rules you mention, or specific ones?

I think using "poorly known" initialisms is almost always a "I'm in the in group" signaling.

Or just making assumptions about what "everyone" knows. Either way it tends to be a net negative for a large percentage of the audience.

Whether the individuals writing care about the ignorant among the audience determines if they put any effort into being educational or just signaling.

You have to remember that many of us are worried about the effects on everyone but the people pulling the levers are only worried about effects on themselves, and (at least in the short term) they are absolutely benefiting (e.g. enriching) themselves, regardless of how much damage it does to everyone else.

Remember a few years back when many of us were shocked to learn that...

people use Facebook for news?

I watched a few episodes of it.

It wasn't so bad that I couldn't wait to stop watching it but... it wasn't good enough that I couldn't help but finish it. I still want to finish it...

To expand on this:

Let me know how fast the internet without working ad block feels...

(Personally I find Firefox is plenty fast! And the benefits vastly outweigh trying to deal with a Google-powered web browser.)

This doesn't really track. Sibling comment pointed out that the average new car transaction price is massively higher than before knobs were replaced with screens.

But more importantly... screens were put in more expensive cars first, and slowly trickled down to budget cars. It's a very weak argument that it was done for cost reasons. Screens are flashy and impress people during their 5 minute test drive. "Wow! Think of all the things I can do in my car that I couldn't do with a knob for changing fan speed." Sure, living with those screens tends to be a bit less enjoyable than those first impressions lead you to believe, but bright colorful animated screens helped to sell cars. If they're actually less expensive than knobs and buttons, that's just a bonus for the manufacturers.

Also keep in mind, when screens first appeared in (expensive) cars, they weren't actually cheaper than the knobs and buttons they replaced. Technology is, sorry was getting cheaper per unit of performance over time. Screens became commonplace and inexpensive to put in cars, but I suspect they were ten times more expensive than all the knobs and levers they replaced when they started appearing in luxury cars.

Yeah this needs pieces with knots, and having to swing at least 3 times before the initial split works. Very unrealistic, 3/10. Need some wedge + sledgehammer modes.

Also how do I simulate my shoulder and lower back hurting?

This seems... obviously false:

Maybe there are just way too many submissions for any one to rise to Home Page fame?

By perpetrator you mean the person postponing performing a code review?

Right? Right?!

Otherwise you place all burden on high performers to not only push PRs but babysit the rest of the team.

It's not an easy fix, especially with AI letting people cosplay as high performers.

As someone who often submits significantly more PRs (without using AI) than teammates, it's not exactly a skill delta. Yes that helps but it's often only a piece of the puzzle. The other ingredients include motivations and culture. In such cases, something else is the driving force, such as posturing for promotion, stability, etc. My current team is massively low performing. Management pays some lip service to all the problems, but also runs things in a way that discourages high performance. It's not a good fit for me, as I want to tackle challenges head on, improve the environment, be productive, embrace change. I'm also very comfortable with the code base as well as the code review process, but I'm surrounded by "seniors" who do not know how to code review, and who are happy to drag their feet and spin their wheels for months before pushing out small PRs that hurt my brain. How can that little work be shown after months, barely functional at best?

We had better management for a few months, and many on the team were actually quickly closing the skill gap with me, but we had another shuffle and things are stupid once more.

So I'd offer that's option 3. (There's always a third option to any suggested either-or fallacy.)

For the rare uninitiated:

While others pointed out that Have I Been Pwned is (kind of) for this specific purpose, there is a limit of like 10 email addresses. Beyond that, you will have to have a paid subscription. You'll still get "alerts" without the subscription, but have no way of seeing which email addresses have made it into a leak somewhere. And the pricing cliff was pretty steep if I recall correctly.

Minimum ~$50 / year for 1 domain and up to 25 breached email addresses. https://haveibeenpwned.com/Subscription

I'm just one guy, but I have a lot of project domains. If I wanted to monitor 5 domains, it would cost me $443 / year.

Comparing a few based on cheapest annual plan that includes custom email domains:

mailbox.org € 30.00 / $34.71

10GB+5GB storage, ample aliases, multiple domains, up to 10 family accounts

proton.me € 41.04 / $47.88

15GB storage, 1 account, 10 encrypted email addresses, 1 domain

fastmail.com € 51.44 / $60.00

60 GB storage, 1 account, multiple domains

For more accounts/users (e.g. Proton Unlimited or Fastmail Family), the pricing is reasonable. But mailbox.org certainly looks like the best value at first glance unless you need a lot of storage. If you've got 6 users and/or several domains, FastMail does look pretty nice.

Heh, well I was kind of thinking, this sounds like something someone in sales or content management or marketing might think is pithy and thoughtful. And we are (or just were) in the "Information Age", so that's what has value. But also, there are lots of other ways to um... make money. Unless you try to twist your brain around "well selling kids' toys to parents is selling lies to someone who wants lied to" or something perverse like that. shrug Maybe the big article does a great job of exploring these ideas, but I don't think they stand up to much scrutiny.
