Oh I agree. We just get lots of comments to that sentiment. I’m not a huge AI fan personally, but if the results are good. They’re good.

I’m going to bet there’ll be a lot of folks unhappy with this quote:

I suspect it’s a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner cases for us for a while, so this may be the “new normal” at least for a while. Only time will tell.

Breeze is alright, but what I miss is Plastik!

It’s fixed now…

That’s good. I do think this kind of thing works a little better on the more chatty OSes like Windows and mac, but it’s still good to have a way to be sure.

It’ll be interesting to see if this goes anywhere

DNS for the win ;)

Talked about this one a little last night in the recording and I think it’ll end up in the small preshow segment. Wouldn’t you know it, WinBoat shows up! Seems like the tides are rising for them 😏

You’re on to something here.

We’re also bumping the next episode an extra week to make room for some holiday travel 🦃

Yeah… I have a feeling Xbox will go away, the interesting bits get vacuumed up into Windows and Steam Machine becomes the Android of the console world, where PlayStation is the Apple.

And Nintendo continues to do its thing away from everyone else over there in that corner.

Been using strict for quite a while and haven’t noticed any breakage. So this is just welcome upgrade for me, especially as Brave has been doing this by default forever by this point.

Definitely a good thing. Xwayland has worked quite well for me over the past few months. This also makes sure Wayland and Xwayland get the testing they really need.

If the steam deck is any indication, those bits, at least not the VR bit, will at least be affordable-ish

The Deck has been awesome, if not a little lackluster on the battery sometimes, so I’m definitely glad they’re giving it another go. All together this time.

And this kills the Xbox 🤣

They just had a major release. That’s probably what you’re seeing.

Give it time…

We have the freedom to knock out our own internet with freedom bullets. What more could one want?!

Easily one of the best mascots. Bested only by Genchu-chan!

Oh yeah. Dollar for dollar, they’re not the value proposition they used to be, and I’d bet that n100 can probably outpace the ARM chip in the Pi 5 too with slightly higher power consumption. I just like Pi stuff in general for tinkering and the GPIO pins.
