- Consoles are upscaling hard, not native resolution;
- PS5 games and subscriptions will cost you more longterm;
- Steam Machine is more repairable;
- Steam Machine is a PC: you can use it for everything if you want to.
Not the same philosphy, not the same target.
The Steam Machine is showing disappointing performance in demanding games:
🛑 Cyberpunk 2077 (1440p, Medium, RT) – 28 FPS
🛑 Black Myth: Wukong (1440p, Very High) – 20 FPS
🛑 Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (Ultra) – 21 FPS
🔹 Key takeaway: the Steam Machine’s performance does not match its price, a regular PC costing $1,049 or more would deliver significantly better results.

AMD CEO Lisa Su just killed Nvidia’s $4,000 AI box with a $1,499 lunchbox.
She walked on stage, held it in one hand, and ran a 235 billion parameter model live. No data center. No cloud. No rented GPU.
The chip inside is something nobody saw coming. AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is the first x86 silicon where CPU and GPU share the same 128GB of memory. That single trick lets a desktop run models that used to need a server rack.
Out of those 128GB, Linux hands the GPU 110GB to play with. For context, an RTX 5090 gives you 32GB. A 4090 gives you 24. This box gives you more than three times either of them, in a chassis the size of a thick paperback.
The benchmark that broke the room: this chip beat an Nvidia RTX 5080 by more than 3x on DeepSeek R1 inference. A $1,499 lunchbox outrunning a $1,000 discrete graphics card on a real AI workload. Nvidia spent a decade convincing the world you needed their hardware for serious AI. AMD just put that on a desk for half the price.
Here is what nobody is telling you. A heavy AI user right now pays $200 for Claude Code Max, $200 for ChatGPT Pro, $20 for Cursor, $20 for Gemini. That is $5,280 a year leaving your account. The box pays itself off in 9 months and then runs free for the rest of its life.
Install Ollama. Pull Qwen3 235B. Point Claude Code at localhost. Same interface you already use, except now nothing leaves your machine, nothing costs per request, and no company throttles your usage at 3am when you finally have time to build.
This is the moment every AI subscription becomes optional. Lawyers stop fearing OpenAI leaks. Developers stop watching the token meter. Founders stop renting H100s for prototypes that never ship because the bill scared them.
The first thousand people to figure this out will own the next two years of private AI consulting.
Save this, and read the full breakdown article below you are watching the next shift hit before everyone else does.
Reminder to have 2 different saves on 2 different locations.
I use Synology built-in Drive automatic sync so I have all my files both in the cloud and locally at home.
Le fait que depuis que ChatGPT est là je dois arrêter d'utiliser "—" sinon on va croire que j'suis un feignant parlant avec l'IA 💀
J'utilisais ça tout le temps mdrr
@StevenLathoud perso les photos/vidéos c'est mon critère numéro 1. Mon 12 Pro est correct, et le raw est OK. Par contre je suis à -0.7 d'expo constamment sur mon app photo, sinon trop d'HDR dégueu
5,2 mm. Why is no-one talking about how the Moto Z was THE thinnest phone? Used it for some time, it felt amazing
iPhone Air feels like the Apple-Moto Z bastard (5,6 mm is close enough)
@stalman Your review is amazing. Rocking a 12 Pro here and I'm forcing myself to wait for next year to see if they manage to squeeze 3 lenses on their foldable. Otherwise, I can't wait to get this insane camera quality on my phone.
My old GH4 is crying seeing this
reminder to wait 2-4 days after saying it's laggy: When updating, the OS is indexing (basically searching and organizing every file, even hidden, in your phone). This uses a LOT of power and battery life
American is on her honeymoon in Honolulu Hawaii
“Travel in the US is dead and it’s all because of corporate greed”
She shows everything is billed separately now. They don’t even let you sit in beach chairs anymore, one chair in the sun is $200 to use, most sit empty. She’s been charged $500 just in “resort fees,” and the hotel doesn’t even include parking anymore, you have to pay for that too per day
“All of there's like chairs up front. We thought they were all occupied. But no, there's a 200 fee to reserve one of those chairs in the sun.”
“Go to any other country for your honeymoon, for your vacation. Save your hard-earned cash and do that because in the US you're never going to feel welcome as a guest”
Americans are just outright robbed in every possible way everywhere they go now…
