I am curious if you are using an external DAC or the built-in audio interface for your headphones.

Unless what you need is an IP phone, you also need a cellular modem that supports voice calls… plus a user interface for interacting with the said modem.

Windows 11 Subsystem for Android can’t help as passing through hardware and having the right Android kernel that has the right driver can be a nightmare.

P.S. I think it is more feasible to set up an IP-phone-to-cellular gateway, say, at your home. And call on your deck with IP phone dialing to the gateway. You can connect to cellular data service on your deck with some cheap 4G USB modem sticks. If you want 5G, the cost can be quite steep. Yeah when there is a will, there is always a way.

I have tried running Hogwarts Legacy on my Deck. It could achieve a stable ~30fps at all medium settings and FSR 2 Quality at 2/3 full resolution (1280x800) on-device. The frame rate will likely drop a bit if you are going to run it at 1080p or you need to try FSR 2 Balance or Performance. It should run fine with lower settings though.

Steam Deck seems to be the wrong device if you are docking it to a TV most of the time… The SoC is optimized for low-to-mid quality on the 800p screen. The situation is similar if not worse than docking a Switch to a large flatscreen TV.

If you want to unleash the full potential of an all-flash config and be futureproof, better get one that comes with full width M.2, i.e. x4 with at least PCIe gen 4 connectivity. That only leaves you x86 unless you want something really exotic.

Yes there are but the op is talking about discrete AI accelerators…

Your GPU is an AI accelerator already. Running trained AI models is not as resource demanding as training one. Unless local training becomes universal, AI acclerators for consumers make very few sense.

Indeed. My PC has a decent enough GPU and I also own a PS4. The Stadia exclusives at the time was not enticing enough for me to try, let alone paying $9.99 per month.

I believe the tech is solid given how people have praised it over its short span of life. It sounds like they were trying to kill too many birds with too few stones…

Their strategy did not make sense at all. They wanted to make a game streaming service yet they were acquiring a bunch of game studios… To the contrary of GeForce NOW, its arch competitor, Stadia forced you to purchase games that were only playable within the service in its store. It is a complete shit show.

Stadia’s second life?!

I still doubt if this solution can scale up to tame our 200W+ fire dragons eventually. But for small form factor machines and industrial PCs it looks pretty promising.

Shit cover blown. I will come clean. Please spare me. I am one of the many AI bots nurtured by my evil master in his bedroom at his parents’ place to thwart the fediverse clause. GRAAAAWWWRR!!

Joke aside, we have been playing catch-up with spammers/bots/malwares since the very early days of this vast internet. It is just a continuation of the toil and effort.

They are already big. They have the users. They have the content. That is why they stay afloat with their ad business. That makes them valuable. It does not hurt if they are really sharing the treasure trove with us (which does not appear to be case after all if Verge is right). Rather laughably, you can say they have hurt us enough they can hurt us no more.

Didn’t XMPP just lose to better messenger competition then?

It is perfectly valid to describe the outcome this way. I agree this is indeed the case. Google Talk gave way to other options deemed better too. Actually it did not gain much traction in my country either.

But I guess it is the sucking of XMPP users and the whole feeling of getting “betrayed” that makes people holding a grudge to megacorps Google-alike.

I agree with you on that. That’s why I find this anti-Meta pact or manifesto or whatever naive and premature.

Just if there are people who insist on banning anything Meta, they are welcome to do so in their instances. Interoperability is still preserved. They are not adding anything to the protocol. Banning instances is part of the interoperability. I think this is where our opinion differs.

Basically the sequence of events as claimed by the author is that:

1. XMPP small niche, small circles
2. Google launches Talk that was XMPP compatible
3. Millions joined Talk that could coop XMPP in theory
4. The coop worked only sparingly and was unidirectional, i.e. Talk to XMPP ✅ but XMPP to Talk ❌
5. Talk sucked up existing XMPP users as it was obviously a better option (bandwagon effect + unidirectional “compatibility” with XMPP)
6. Talk defederated

This demonstrated exactly the importance of reciprocity. If Meta plays dirty, defederate them then. Now is just too premature. Also frankly it is Meta that has more to lose than the fediverse at this moment as the bulk of users and thus the content are with Meta.

Well you can do that already. As in the spirit of federvise, host your instance and ban anyone and any instance you dun like. Your turf your rule.

As if we have no bot here right now lmao

The problem is more about Reddit not giving a fuxk to the users who have made the platform. They obviously know in advance what 3rd party apps and tools people have been using. If they are really keen on keeping the matter civil, Reddit could have granted them free or reasonable access but it prefers not to. I think this is pretty telling.
