  • Makes sense, except for “one model”. I think it would be better to have two options.

    One low cost, thinking mini pc with integrated gpu (like steamdeck) for casual gamers, 2d gaming, old game®s, etc. Would also be perfect as “home office” PC or media consumption device.

    Second one would be bigger and stronger with dedicated GPU capable of “real” gaming and running all the modern games. Yes, powerful hardware is expensive, but serious gaming is no cheap thing…







  • We have hundreds of Samsung 860/870 EVOs in operation at my work now. All of them are working reliably in both windows and linux machines running 24/7 for years. Some more heavily used (local postgres db) are probably not in the best condition, but still working. Speaking of mostly 250 GB ones.

    We used to buy OCZ brand. First OCZs (Vertex 3) were amazing, some of them are still in work for 10+ years. Vertex 460 still great, again, some are still in use. But ever since Toshiba came in and old models were replaced with Trion models, it went to shit. Some of those models in the same environment started to fail (and I mean critical failures, like no OS after reboot or missing data etc.) after less than a year. Some of them still run in less critical PCs with light use, but do I trust the brand? Hell no.

    I just checked one 250 GB OCZ Vertex 3 running for ~10 years with Crystaldisk. It has over 220 TB written, 300 TB read, and crystaldisk still shows roughly 40% lifetime left. It ran in badly wented, really dusty Dell Optiplex with Windows XP.

    Edit: Personally I also have good experience with Crucial/Micron too, but that’s just based on home use for storing music, documents, steam games and not much else.


  • I played the game for years over decade ago. It was fun with friends, but ultimately turned to absolute cesspool over years. Don’t get me wrong, toxicity was always there (as with every other online game), but it ranked up every year. Year after year. Until I finally gave up and never really looed back, because of how toxic and miserable I felt in game. Can’t even imagine it nowadays.
