The point of shitty old processors was to get them cheap. Now that RAM and storage are the biggest factors, they could have gone with newer processors and not be significantly more expensive but significantly more performant.

Well who uses powershell? Common people open command prompt and it doesn’t support ls.

Windows Terminal is shipped with Windows and defaults to PowerShell. Too bad Windows ships some ancient PS version by default but winget install Microsoft.PowerShell isn't that complicated.

Tech workers

I don't. Not that this has to be true for others but I use the command line for ping, ipconfig, and winget.

The Steam Machine uses semi-custom processors.

Steam Machine uses old crap AMD had lying around. This is also why it's not an APU design.

Cheap Eastern European and Indian coders.

I don’t have that information

Then don't make such a claim.

Honestly, it just sounds like you’re mad at GabeN for having money.

No, I'm not. Just pointing out that others are subsidizing hardware cost and that the money to do so would be there but it was decided to sell a "Beginner's Gaming PC... At an Enthusiast Price" as Giant Bomb described the SM in their review.

Companies like Asus fart out new designs every year. It's doable if the design pipeline if efficient enough.

changing the design now

Not now. When RAM prices started skyrocketing. That wasn't only today or yesterday.

Subsidization pretty much requires that the hardware be locked down and walled-gardened so the subsidy they put into it eventually pays off. The Steam Machine, currently, lets you install whatever OS you want and use it like a regular PC without locking you into the Steam ecosystem at all.

For this to be true, you'd need to have some data that a significant portion of Steam Deck (to name the hardware that's out for years) users wipe SteamOS and not use it for Steam.

It’s AI, babe.

AI is not the reason Gabe doesn't want to subsidize hardware as others do with their consoles. Buying mansions and yachts is.

ls works on Windows just fine. PowerShell understands this command since a long time, maybe even since the very beginning (not looking through the git commits, just to find out).

Well, you made a wrong claim that I merely corrected. Watch whatever wherever you want. Doesn't change the fact that the documentary creators I follow for the vast majority only upload to YouTube and those that also upload to Nebula offer a worse experience there.

it’s all crap and mindless shit anyways.

If you click on mindless shit, the algorithm serves you mindless shit. I get documentaries. 🤷

Archive.is is a Russian propaganda bot net. Don't use it.

you know who else has documentaries?

PBS.

support your local public broadcasting stations, people.

And do you know which documentaries they don't have? The ones that are uploaded by their creators only to YouTube.

I watch plenty of Arte and I pay the fee but documentaries about video game speedruns etc. simply aren't on Arte (or PBS or Nebula). I watch those where they are: YouTube.

Probably because of competing TV rights.

Available everywhere else.

Edge is pretty much dead.

I honestly don't know why. If you are a Windows user and don't care about privacy, you may just as well stick with Edge. As a Chromium web browser by a megacorp, it's in no way worse than Chrome.

Remember “Hour of Code”?

Actually no
