#DIY #SteamMachine is an odd way of saying #Gaming #PC.

I mean, I'm here for it. Just sayin'.

The Steam Machine launches with a minimum price of $1049. What would be the maximum price you'd pay?

It's real and it's fucking expensive!

Valve finally announces the price of Steam Machine and a sort of release date, but the console-like PC might cost more than you're expecting

There is a non-zero chance that somebody, today, complained about the price of #Valve ‘s #Steam #Machine after learning what it was ($1050 to $1430) via #AI - And they are too stupid to see the irony…

You have to imagine, as a company that isn’t hostile towards its customers, that Valve WANTED the Machine to be cheaper but we’ve got too many people who can’t be bothered to look something up on their own… literally out-sourcing their own humanity to a corposlop guessing program.

Bubble notification on Windows XP.

i've been turning off my second monitor and just playing dragon age lately and it's done wonders for my ability to actually concentrate on shit. having two monitors is useful for a lot of things but it's also a massive fucking distraction

In the process of writing an article about the technical aspects of Windows 95, I stumbled upon a YouTube video called "Why everyone loved Windows 95: 30 years later".

But wait a minute. In my geek environment of the mid-90s, not everyone loved Win95. Quite the opposite actually 😅

What was your personal experience with this OS?

Personally, I really liked it from day one. But I had the luck to have an extremely beefy setup for the time (P90 / 32MiB RAM), did not do anything heavy on Windows, an went back to DOS to play games 🙂
