    I often play docked, but when I do I am usually playing something with high graphics demand (FFVII Rebirth) where I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.

    For local games I’m playing stuff more like Moonstone Island, Planet Crafter, etc and it works great. I like the ability to slap on some extra peripherals. I attach a small USB keyboard for games that occasionally need it, and a mouse, but I generally play with the PS5 controller I have.

    My one beef is Smart TVs like my Samsung playing poorly with their stupid “smart device detection”… And it some times takes some playing around to get the video to connect properly (sound comes through)… A problem absent from my “dumb” Westinghouse TV/DVD combo LCDs i grabbed. So YMMV on connectivity if you have a less than well built Smart TV.

    Its also trained on stolen data, artists work without their permission. AI training, even for the offline models, uses massive amounts of electricity and water and is currently accelerating climate around the world as well as unaffordability as demand for water and electricity cause prices to skyrocket. At the same time its accellerating the unaffordability of personal computing, including phones, and threatening to remove open PC hardware platforms by removing direct access to affordable DIY hardware.

    On the other side of this, continued use and justification of LLMs existence is enabling the founding of mass surveillance and control systems that will be the foundation for totaltarian states, while at the same time enabling the rich to manipulate and control truth. And because of randomized token tie breaking, anything that comes out of it is only partially correct even when its one of the 30% of the times the reply is partially useful.

    And - on top of all of that, you are nerfing your own skills and brainpower everytime you use it, in addition to having it do something for you that you could be learning yourself, which would have increased your existing skills while teaching you a new one.

    AI is a horrible technology, doesn’t matter where you run it.
