A few years ago, AMD's FSR was revolutionary for Steam Deck. It helped games run smoother and boosted framerates without needing a more powerful GPU. In essence, a free upgrade!
Now, #AMD wants FSR4 to do the same thing for battery life.

"Windows itself is more of a pig than ever. I spent nearly 45 minutes waiting for mandatory updates and clicking through unwanted offers for various Microsoft products before I could use the Ally X for the first time."
From The Verge's ROG Ally X review.
Perhaps this is wishful thinking or just a bold prediction, but I'd love to see ASUS and Lenovo both offering Linux versions of their handhelds next year.
SteamOS may not officially be ready for other handhelds, but Bazzite sure is.

I've been a Plex (and PlexAmp) user for 4 years. Is it worth the effort to switch over? Do you have any videos comparing the two?

Ya know, it’s much safer for people to have an AI that is hilariously and obviously wrong, than to have one that is confidently wrong…

Hey kids, if you want to hear how great recorded music used to sound before the loudness wars won and everything got compressed to shit, listen to an early Eagles album like "One Of These Nights."
I mean, DAMN, it sounds so rich. So balanced. There's so much space between the instruments. The harmonies are electrifying. It sounds like they're playing *together* right there in front of you. Incredible.
This has been another installment of Gen X Jason Yells At Cloud. Thank you and goodnight.
