I would have impulse bought this for $750 to play my backlog of indie games and older AA/AAA on the couch, with a nice small form factor, very quiet machine, and hdmi cec to control my tv like a console.
Instead, I’m going to be scraping together some old parts and putting steam os 3.8 on it. Kudos to valve for giving this option to us officially, and I plan to support them with a hypothetical steam machine 2 in the future when prices are more sane.
I wonder what the brain is doing…
They also may not be light years away, but rather ultra terrestrial or interdimensional or time travelers or they use wormholes to “teleport”. We just don’t know, but the possibilities are not constrained to just your “incompetent but competent” paradox.

I was once in a meeting with an SVP who was going over what he was going to say in an upcoming all-hands meeting. He kept referring to employees as “resources” and I told him he should call them people or team members as resources was dehumanizing and made it sound like we’re just line items on a spreadsheet and pawns on a chessboard. He looked at me and said you’re right - that is how they look at things, but thanked me for reminding me of his audience. He was candid with me only because I was also high up in the org.
Companies are not your friend. The people above you in the org are not your friend. You are not special or different or immune or safe. Ultimately, you do have to look out for yourself. If a company is able and willing to terminate your job for financial reasons, you need to be willing and able to terminate your job for financial reasons too - on your own terms and with a better higher paying job lined up. It’s just another business transaction. Loyalty is dead. Act accordingly.

This will likely turn Reddit into a (even bigger) cesspool of karma farming spam/bots and bullshit AI posts now that they can make a quick buck off it.
I find it mostly interesting how different successful people can be with wildly varied takes on what works for them lifestyle-wise as well as what they value in life. Not to mention how we prioritize (and focus) our limited time on earth.
Kudos to you for making your life work well. We’re wired differently, and that’s okay.
I’m not suggesting any of those are true, I personally have no idea. But it could be a lot of things and the sky isn’t even the limit.
All I know is that in the past few years there’s been a huge shift in what our leaders are saying and the stigma of “tin foil hat UFO nutjubs” is being lifted. The question is why? And why now?

I just like to keep an open mind…
