You don’t need to add a motherboard, case or PSU, the first item is an entire mini PC, minus ram and storage.

The RAM and storage was just a suggestion. Change them up as you prefer.

There’s also another model if you don’t need HDD that comes with an aluminum heatsink/enclosure, for an extra $20.

CWWK N100 - $152

1x16GB Teamgroup elite DDR5-5600 = $37

3x2TB Samsung 990 EVO - $255 1x128GB Patriot P300 -$14 (4TB storage + 2TB for redundancy and 128GB for OS)

$7 for some heatsinks for the SSDs.

Total = $465 USD

No idea what those prices look like in Europe.

You also have the option of expanding with 2 SATA ports.

Yeah I got all of that. I don’t understand what it has to do with the title.

Gotcha. I like Saber for handwritten notes. It also supports photos and PDFs, so I will get some meeting notes, upload them into Saber and then handwrite notes on top of the PDFs.

It is cross-platform and has native NextCloud support, and they’ll even give you a server to use if you sponsor the project.

You are posting in self hosted by also referencing some software that isn’t so I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking for in that regard.

Saber is the only non-onenote notes software that supports handwriting and is fully FOSS, to my knowledge. I use that and then back up with Syncthing.

You’re wrong because of the specific words you’re choosing to use. Even if they aren’t, it doesn’t mean they can’t.

Yeah I did exactly that. It just needs an update afterwards.

“design by committee” approach that large studios are using

They don’t have to use that.

This kind of game can only exist as a solo or very small team project.

That’s just very clearly wrong.

You can not generate the kind of money that large publishers and studios need to survive with little Indie games.

Wrong again. If anything, only large publishers can lose the kinds of money that they sometimes do.

Balatro is…not something big studios could even possibly replicate

…and why not?

What would be the point of a big studio trying to make a game that one developer can pull off?

…money?

They’re simply drawing all the wrong conclusions here:

even though Spider-Man 2 sold more than 11 million copies, several members of Insomniac lost their jobs when Sony announced 900 layoffs in February.

The layoffs don’t mean the game or company were unsuccessful, it means they found other ways to eliminate those jobs.

Warner Bros. Discovery took a $200 million loss on Suicide Squad

That’s nothing to do with graphical fidelity, it was a shit game that followed up a shit movie.

Sony closed the studio behind Concord

Lots of potential reasons for this. If you ask me, they released a $30 game into a genre chock full of “free to play” games.

Personally I appreciate “cinematic” games but titles like Balatro and Stardew Valley (neither of which I own) are proof of the simple fact that making games that are actually fun to play is far far more important, and far more profitable.

That won’t make much of a dent in climate change.

It makes a massive difference. Think about how much food and other products a single person consumes in their lifetime. All of that is gone if they’re never born.

The main cause of climate change is pollution on a massive scale by corporations.

They don’t pollute just for the fun of it, they pollute to make products to sell to consumers. No consumers = no pollution.

Wow, what an arrogant twat. Let’s tackle these stupid criticisms 1 by 1:

1. Yes, They cost more. The cost is offset by the lower cost of ownership over time. If you finance the car, you never even feel that cost because you just pay the difference to the bank instead of the oil companies, and pocket the remainder. And you get a nicer car in the process.
2. Longer to refuel. On long trips, yes. The other 99% of the time you actually save a fuckton of time not going to the gas station. Not to mention improved safety and lower risk of ID theft as your CC is stolen (which has happened to me several times).
3. Battery degrades. Yeah, I mean, so does your engine and transmission and everything else about your ICE car. Batteries will likely outlast your ICE powertrain, and they’ll slowly degrade over time, and when they’re done you can sell them to a recycler and get some of your money back.
4. Trains/Buses/Bikes. Yeah, these are great if you have them, or the infrastructure that supports them. We don’t have them. If I try to ride my bike to the grocery store 2 miles away there is a very high probability of death, because I have to cross a 70MPH highway, and there’s no other way to get there. This has nothing to do with the discussion of ICE cars vs. electric cars. I both drive an electric and and actively advocate for improved non-car infrastructure but I’m 1 person.
5. I don’t know what this whole tangent about Chinese cars is about. Those are electric too?

Well that sounds like a problem, wouldn’t you say?

Uhhh I’ll take one if you’re giving them 😃

You shouldn’t be okay with that.

It doesn’t matter what software you use, Apple doesn’t allow automatic backups on their phones. Consider buying a different phone that allows you to use it as you see fit.

There are always people who want aesthetics over performance

You don’t have to choose though. Plenty of people are running this hardware in a box much smaller than this, their explanation is nonsense. It’s just bad design.

why wouldn’t corsair sell these

Because they care at all about their reputation?

Ok 🤷

Ideally in front of an A/C vent pumping out dried air.

Don’t know about you but Epic gives me a bot challenge every time I do absolutely anything on their site.
