  • Also, are you a llm from like 2021?

    I’m a human with an opinion you may not share, for whom English is not his primary language. So grammatical error are to be expected. Now if you can come down of your high horse and not assume anyone with whom you do not agree is a LLM, that’d be great.

    It is a personal computer, it runs Linux, I recognize KDE, I can fuck around in terminal. In what ways is it not a personal computer? I don’t understand.

    Try to do a spreadsheet on the deck without any accessory. It is possible, but very fastidious. It isn’t an hardware made to do personal computing (aka, a PC), it is an hardware to play game.
    A PC isn’t just a software, it is also a hardware specifically made to allow various computing tasks. Calculus, graphical work of various kinds, sometimes games (which have to adapt to peripherals that weren’t made for games in mind).
    A Deck is made for games first, and the various other task you may want to do have to work around its limitation. From my point of view, this cannot be called a PC.
    But that’s my opinion, I won’t force anyone else to agree with me, or call them a LLM out of spite.


  • So is any Android phone in such case. Form factor matters.
    The Deck is a Linux handheld, that can be converted to a Linux PC depending on the accessories used. But by itself, with no accessories whatsoever, good luck using it as a PC.
    A laptop can be considered as a PC, as it has all the peripheral integrated into his chassis, a desktop too (as it cannot be used without peripherals, they can be counted as part of it), but a Deck primary use is handheld gaming, not personal computing. Its included peripherals cannot allow it use as such.










  • Note to the community :
    self promotion is allowed on this community, what we disallowed is excessive self promotion.
    Things like multiple post in a short timespan, not disclosing ones link to a specific game, or anything that is made to manipulate the community to make a game look better or more popular that it is really. Sames goes for new account posting ads to games, never to be seen again

    So let’s check here:

    • He disclosed his link to the game : yes
    • Posted about it multiple times is a short time : I didn’t see anything like that, but feel free to report if it is the case
    • Is active : yes
    • No suspicious link : yes

    In my book, this is 100% legit. No need to report.




  • I’m not a plumbing expert (I got an electronic degree before going for CS), but I can extrapolate from my own experience.

    If it does a bit like electricity, it comes from how much water the main line can let through. If it is sufficiently sized, and can accept enough water for both your tap and shower, all you’ll see is a pressure fluctuations (it will be divided per open tap). But if it is not big enough, the water will go to the shorter route first, which depending on the configuration may be the tap or the shower.
    At my old man home, we are in the former case, which mean he often used what this comic shows to make sure we finish our shower if it gets too long to his liking (he is an asshole sometimes 😂).
    Meanwhile, at my current home, the boiler is just next to the shower, so the shower takes priority.

    The biggest difference with electricity though, is that you can put far more electricity than the wiring is made for, which can cause fires, which you cannot with water. 😅
