You’re damn right. Football already exists.

No football fan would call it soccer. But hey, you do you man.

If you actually do watch a lot of it, it’s kinda weird that you call it “soccer”.

There’s literally no correlation between those two things.

I didn’t get the theory. The world cup groups are defined in a televised draw. Are you saying that the draw is fixed?

If that is the case, it doesn’t make much sense. You also don’t really “watch” anything in the halftime break.

They are corrupt, but that has nothing to do with organizing the world cup so one specific team will win it.

When your mom told you videogames were dumb, this is what she sounded like.

So you’re one of the enlightened geniuses that believe that Argentina’s World Cup was not legitimate, huh? You do realize that all of the teams have to be on board for that to happen, right? Even if they were, it would still be incredibly hard to coordinate (if not impossible). They won, and deserved it. Deal with it.

It’s obviously fine if you’re not interested, but it seems unnecessarily aggressive to say “a 110min game where nothing happens”. It also shows how little you know about the sport. Even if they go to overtime (which can only happen in direct elimination matches), that would be 90+30 = 120.

It doesn’t matter if you build it yourself or not, it matters that whoever repairs it can swap only the part that failed. The steam machine has a lot of stuff on a single board (kinda like a laptop) and that sucks, from a repairability standpoint.

I say “upgrade” but it’s actually a repairability issue as well. If something breaks, getting a replacement part is not as easy as going to any pc store/amazon/newegg and getting what you need. You’ll have to go through steam/ifixit and it will most likely be more expensive than the equivalent pc part. You also can’t replace just the cpu, gpu or motherboard. If any of those breaks, you have to replace the whole thing.

That’s honestly very odd. It’s windows though, so I’m not exactly surprised. Can you share the brand and model of that docking station?

Beg to disagree. I’d never pay 750 for a “pc” that performs like ryzen 3600 with an rx 6600 and has no way of being upgraded (besides replacing ram and ssd). The hardware is outdated from day 1.

You can update drivers manually through device manager, don’t know if you’ve tried that. I’m assuming you’ve tested this usb-c hub with another device already to confirm that it isn’t dead, right?

Your first paragraph is like you talking to a mirror xD and the second one is flat out wrong. Most reviewers agree with me. This thing is way too outdated and expensive to make sense. It’s doa. I don’t care if you believe me or not, it will die anyway.

That’s why I boguht a steam deck. The difference, imo, is that the value proposition of the Deck was far better than that of the Machine. The latter is launching with outdated specs, doesn’t really offer something novel and costs way more than it should. Although, to be fair, the current price of the steam deck is also way too high right now. Specially considering how old it is.

W10 drivers can be used in W11…

Except that the steam machine is not a console? It’s just a linux pc with a UI that can be navigated with a controller. You can just install bazzite and achieve the same result. Software support could actually be worse for the steam deck, considering that it has a semi-custom apu.

Be honest, when was the last time you wanted to use a pc and couldn’t because it didn’t have drivers? Heck, my first server a little over a year ago was using a 15 year-old i5 2400, and it worked just fine for a simple file server + jellyfin with the arr stack and direct playback.
