Valve will do with SteamOS what’s good for them and their profits. They aren’t in this for idealism.

It’s not a no brainer. If they want to run x68-64 games on it, they need good tools like Apple’s Rosetta. It would definitely decrease performance and lower the number of compatible games.

Valve is interested in controlling the software they use on their hardware and not being dependent on Microsoft or license costs. They are a for profit business. More games running on their machines help their sales.

RISC-V would be a terrible architecture for them at the moment. There are zero chips available with somewhat competitive performance. The number of commercial games that natively run on it is also small if not zero.

Israel has had angry neighbors, who want to kill them since before the state even existed.

A different analysis from an expert in international law. https://lieber.westpoint.edu/exploding-pagers-law/

Combatants tend to violently fight back, when you try to round them up. They also tend to hide among civilians in case of terrorist militia like Hezbollah.

Send enough money to Ukraine to buy off all Russian soldiers.

Ukrainians are far ahead of you. There are several mine clearing tractors operating already.

That was not the US government, but private initiatives.

We will know. Hamas and other militant groups have published their martyred fighters about a year after the wars ended in the past.

Agreed

Ice pack on the neck and behind your knees helps if needed.

Happy sweating :)

Also get some latex gloves. Touching with them is a unique and great sensual experience.

If you end up doing this, you should write a blog post about how it went after a couple of months. It’s an intriguing idea.

The ROG Ally X has 12 GB of RAM. That could be an issue if you run lots of VMs, docker images, big databases, etc.

1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C support DisplayPort™ / power delivery

Connectivity for external devices seems good. Although it doesn’t say what resolutions are supported for external displays.

The Nazi flag used a 45° rotated swastiska. However horizontal swastikas were also commonly used by the Nazis.

Farmework makes me feel warm and fuzzy so I should give them money?

Yes, that’s what they’re going for. A personal computer is a machine people spend a lot of time with and develop an emotional attachment to. People can buy this laptop and gain status among their peers by supporting the ideas of repairability, being against planned obsolescence, for Linux, and open standards. Owning this laptop can make you feel as part of a movement for a better world.

Sure their claims might not fully hold up to scrutiny. However that doesn’t matter much if you’re emotionally invested in the ideas.

You don’t have to give them money as their product doesn’t seem to be for you. Your priorities are different.

I myself use a MacBook Air with a big ass thunderbolt dock on my desk attached to it. Apple as a corporation sucks for many reasons, but they make some good products.

Overall Framework laptops reminds me of the Fairphone.

Would be interested to see where you got those numbers

About 40,000 killed total in Gaza. 15,000 militants killed. That’s 25,000 civilians killed. These are estimates.

It will take years until we get good numbers on this.

Czechia has been a pretty strong supporter of Israel going back to delivering arms for their war of independence.
