So who remembers the Sega Channel? What Sega system was that on? Wasn't it offered by cable companies to play games through your cable provider? Was there a charger for it and how much was it? What ever happened to that? I never had any Sega products so I woudln't know anything about it.

I remember Sega CD, Sega, and like Sega32 or something like that. Then the Dreamcast, of course.

SegaCD? How was that different than the Saturn? That was CD based. Don't know about Sega32 though. I know Dreamcast. And just Sega, would that just be the first Sega console (the Genesis)?

well, I am surprised the PC got as far as it did, the PC is TO BIG, and TO MANY CABLES, and doesn't make for as good lan gaming.... lets see

4 Xboxs (16 players) on HALO, 4 TVs one small hub, few wires *VS* 16 computers, 1.2 billion stray cables, and 16 monitors, and many technical problems

you simpleton,

there would be no lan gaming if not for pc,

xbox lan is nothing compared to pc's

I can't believe C64 was left off the list. That was da bomb!!! :D

yeah!! too right, you guys must be too young or something... I grew up with the C64 and it rocked. Back then games had gameplay....!!!! Programmers learned to make the most of the small resources they had and they did such a good job. There were games for the 64 that kept people going for months on end!! Get yourselves Vice64 emulator now and play The detective game, mayhem in monsterland, creatures 2, thrust, microprose soccer and any of the other 100's of classics!!

go on!

oh and Exile too... anyone remember exile? only one of the most playable and in depth games ever released....

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
