Play mainly retro PSone JRPGs on my fiancee's old PS2 when she's in the living room playing on one of our other consoles (mainly retro games on the Wii...)

Still need to get a few more bits like a USB hub and an external drive for backups... and maybe a few more gig posters!

In case you where wonder what that book on the right, it's The Pornographer General (any fans of Chuck Palahniuk should get it).

here is my PC/entertainment center in my bedroom... it's an HP Blackbird 002 attached to a Samsung LN46A750 LCD... I use it for PC gaming, Blu-ray/HD-DVD, Directv, etc, etc, etc... my Blu-ray/HD-DVD's are in the shelf above the TV along with some of my PC games... still waiting for poster frames to hang 2 movie posters (transformers & Spiderman 3) on either side of the tv...

How can you sit so close to that huge screen? Must feel like the front row of a theater (neck cramps and all). :p

Jeez, that is so nice. Is that running at 2560x1600? How much did that cost?!

Too clean. This looks like a desk that's there for display only, not something that's actually used for anything. :-p

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
