I don’t know but I am constantly hitting the RAM limit with 16Gb of RAM with around 20-30 open tabs and other apps, both on Linux and Windows

Welcome, glad to be of help.

This at the moment is a clear Ponzi scheme.

OpenAI or Nvidia announces some partnership or a deal for X amount of billions. As a result the valuation of the recipient company goes straight to the sky, increasing the market valuation of said company X-times more.

And then try to tell me this isn’t a bubble.

The future is very small models trained to work in a certain domain and able to run on devices.

Huge foundational models are nice and everything, but they are simply too heavy and expensive to run.

China right now is leading the way with releasing open weights models. The US lags behind, as they are all more concerned about releasing closed weights commercial models.

Yeah, I checked their webpage. The device looks solid, but finding replacement parts, the lack of touchpads, the higher resolution (1920x1080) will all affect your user experience.

Then there is thermal throttling, battery longevity, storage expandability, etc.

Mind you, you need to research a bit more about this particular handheld, because in handhelds, ergonomics, long term support, etc. all play a very important role.

I have a Steam Deck and while I didn’t try other handhelds, I am quite content with its performance. A lot of people who purchased more powerful handhelds eventually also settled with Steam Deck, due to numerous factors, so just be very careful with that step.

Why don’t you simply stream the games to your handheld? No matter what handheld you get after a couple of years it will struggle with newer titles, and building a desktop with a discrete GPU that you can upgrade every now and then is the better option in my eyes.

As far as I am aware they are also better at video encoding and if you want to use Blender or similar software, yes, it is niche, but a credible consideration. As always, it really depends on the use case.

Even though I hate Nvidia, they have a couple of advantages:

• CUDA
• Productivity
• Their cards retain higher resale values

So if you need this card for productivity and not only gaming, Nvidia is probably better, if you buy second hand or strictly for gaming, AMD is better.

CUDA acceleration.

Check your logs and make sure that you didn’t run out of RAM/space on your Backup Server.

The funny part is that nowadays there are companies that interview you with an AI interviewer and are telling you not to use AI. They are asking you to install some software and switch on your camera. While talking to an AI agent. Truly dystopian.

Exactly that. Everyone is obsessed with eternal growth, pushing SaaS offerings our throats and even more subscriptions. There is a real estate crisis, where putting a roof over your head becomes an even more distant dream for the majority of the working population and greedy companies are firing people and replacing them with AI and then they wonder why people are revolting. Eat the rich!

It is just immutable modded Arch Linux with some particular optimisations. While I am sure the task to create it is not so trivial. I am also sure that their hardware engineers put immense effort into designing and building the Steam Deck, which is no small feat. Selecting the components, thermal design, power design etc. considerations that need to be taken into account while building such a device is very challenging, I am sure and their hardware engineers did an excellent job. That’s why the Steam Deck is also so much superior to rival handheld devices.

Defending human rights and condemning war crimes is now punishable.

I have a physical CD of Ubuntu 6.10, back then they were distributing those over the mail and a friend of mine ordered some and gave me. I still keep it.

http://wiki.osll.ru/doku.php/etc:users:jcmvbkbc:linux-xtensa:esp32s3 according to this it can run with some limitations.

Yes, sorry, my bad. Plus that’s not really beginner friendly distro

Actually ESP32-S3 will be even cheaper than this one. They sell for around 5-6 $ but they are very limited in what they can do.
