Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026 (www.theverge.com)

Valve’s Steam Machine finally has a price: a whopping $1,049 for the 512GB configuration or $1,349 for the 2TB version. And those are without bundled controllers, which drive up the cost more.

The prices are so high in part because Valve isn’t subsidizing the hardware, and the company has already indicated that the component crisis forced it to reconsider its initial pricing plans. In an interview with the YouTube channel Gamers Nexus, Valve engineers discussed the reality of sourcing RAM in 2026, with take-it-or-leave-it prices as memory and other components remain in short supply, from only a few vendors like Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix.

[...]

Valve, of course, isn’t the only company in a bind over memory shortages, as the crunch is forcing many hardware makers to make significant pricing changes. Even Apple CEO Tim Cook is warning of incoming price hikes for iPhones, Macs, and other devices. And the RAM crunch isn’t projected to get better anytime soon.

Alright. Now let's talk about what Google is doing. :)

Pretty damn evil company if you ask me.

At some point, you realize that companies will always do things you don't agree with, and you try to pick the lesser evil.

As for homophobic, i dont know if you mean same sex marriage? The bible clearly says:

Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

So to Christian people, its not homophobic, it's about their beliefs. Clearly religions will have things that you must not do, and this is one of those for Christianity.

Abortion is another hot topic. There are many of these that are not based on hate, but on belief systems. I really think it's getting too much with calling everyone who doesn't agree homophobic. It's the new conspiracy theorist. :)

if you’re a bigot because you think sky daddy told you to be, that doesn’t somehow make you not a bigot

Bigot - a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own.

How are you not a bigot with the statement above?

[–] Zanacross@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Because they're not saying you can't have that opinion, just that you are bigoted for having that opinion.

Hope that helps you! 😊

Yes. We are both biggots. And I think everyone is, looking at that definition.

Only very mature people are tolerant of opinions they dont agree with. Depends of course on what does tolerant mean? If you argue against it, are you tolerant?

I let a lot of people here have their weird opinions. :)
