Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…
If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.


I replaced my old PC only because I went from an i5 6600 to a ryzen 7800x3d and thus needed to replace the RAM as well.
Combone that with an old 4GB 960 and an older 2TB HDD and wanting another case the math was quite easy.
It’s alao a quesrion how you interpret that? At what point is it a new PC vs upgrading? If you have replaced all parts from the original starting build?
Might explain the higher percentage


I was kind of humbled to see how much less ressources Debian was using.
It needed one GB of memory after install in full memory.

Too weird that LTT didnt get one either.
I supect AMD didnt seed a sample to anyome that wasnt >90% positive about it.
Several outlets basically said: Out of 100 persons, they wouldnt rexommend it to 99 persons. And even the 1 pweson would get recommended it with a big asterisk of “If you want to spend that kind of money? Sure, have fun?”


I always think about buying the Ayn Thor.
I do have the money to buy it but I debate always if I’d use it more than a more general device like my phone or my already existing SteamDeck.
On the one hand, it’s way more portable than a steamdeck but 300€ isnt free money either ;-;
My recommendation: If you’d buy a laptop to play on the couch, etc. etc. that isnt your desk with your PC, than a steamdeck might be worth it.
If you primarily play mouse games like shooters: It’s complicated. IMO it’s more meant for gamepad games or at best in a dock with a mouse/keyboard separatly.


Yes and no.
Yes I can expect that because outside of the US some already use WhatsApp and probably to some degree FB messenger. Threema, Signal are on the rise (I’ll exclude Telegram due to QAnon and several hard right to nazi-level groups happening there).
Keep in mind that I am talking about Germany here. But I am very sure it’s on a similar rate elsewhere as well.
I’d say it sounds a bit elaborate.
That OP used AI explains why it sounded like it did.
