It's literally not, that's steam running in big picture on an inconvenient setup. No controller wake up, no rest mode, stuck with windows, no convenient app switching, need mouse/kb to do anything outside of steam. Source: have gaming PC that I never use.

Yes I am that people. A gaming console media PC that sits still, has rest mode, and can interface with a server for my media, or run streaming apps like a regular ass PC but from the convenience of my couch. Like basically - my steam deck with a hardware upgrade at the expense of portability. That's exactly what I want and I would happily pay for. Even at $700+, that value is there for me and I imagine for tons of others.

I honestly think (hope) valve should take a shot at a genuine console. I would absolutely love something that just WORKS like steam deck, but unlike my PS5 syncs with my steam library and can easily transition to my deck with no fuss. Library compatibility, graphic customization, capable of functioning as a one stop media device for the TV room. I feel like the steam machines were too early and too short sighted/compartmentalized, but now that so many games are coming to PC, valve could take everything the PlayStation 5 did right, while removing all the bullshit that drives people nuts.

Bro I think you have either exceptionally bad taste, or an almost inhuman tolerance for the putrescent. Probably both actually.

Hey genuine question what does everyone use for office apps these days? I'm extremely over being charged a yearly fee to use word and excel

Can't help you with awnings, but you should invest in some cellular shades for your windows. We have the same problem, the entire length of our house, with the rooms we spend the most time in, faces west and from about 1pm-740pm it gets uninterrupted full sun, and brother it is HOT. Even with regular blinds you can feel the temperature increase from one side of the house every step as you walk towards the other side.

Cellular shades are a GAME CHANGER. They fold up into basically nothing when not in use, and when you pull them down the heat stays out. It rules, and it's a very affordable and easy to install fix while you build your awnings. You will not regret them.

I am American and I am not offended by this. I'm not even sure I disagree

Not that long ago, I got downvoted to hell (by shills) for pointing out that oil companies latched on to the term "natural" and paired it with "clean burning" and then deliberately obfuscated the fact that natural gas is methane. There is nothing clean about it, it is burning methane.

So for anyone that doesn't know, natural gas is methane and oil companies have ALWAYS known it's terrible to burn and worse to drill for because it leaks directly to the atmosphere where it's significantly worse than CO2.
