  • I like the Emma Thompson story about why she rolls her own cigarettes. The original idea was that if she had to roll her own cigarettes, she would slow down and smoke less. Ultimately, all that it accomplished was to teach her how to roll faster. So now she smoke just as much, but unfiltered.

    This is my experience with chopsticks. At this point they don’t slow me down, and I’m good enough that I can pick individual sesame seeds off of a plate with ease.

    Anyone here planning on getting one?

    I might get a 2tb. If I don’t game on it, I might swap the Linux version and use it for work. We have standardized in fully decked out System76 Meerkats with Proxmox VE serving jump hosts to manage different clients, so I can use it for that, or I can leverage the GPU and use it for datadump and log analysis. The point is, that it wouldn’t be money wasted. Ideally, I’d like to play games on it though.

    EDIT: Looking at the Gamer’s Nexus review they state upfront that performance is limited, so I honestly don’t see why I should get this over a Meerkat.

    EDIT 2: Nevermind. The Meerkat has almost doubled in price and is Intel only now. So the Steam Machine is back on the menu.
