I felt he was just funning around (especially since there have been so-goddamned-many teardowns of legit bad pre-builts this year). No-one watching is going to be meaningfully mislead by the acerbic commentary from a dev-kit teardown.

Edit: I don't mean that in a pointed way. It's just... it was a novelty, in the sense of being a Stadia dev-kit, but other than cataloging the parts, there really wasn't much else to say about it.

Edit: Though perhaps Steve would argue that the non-standard parts still suck, even in the dev-kit context, because very little, if any of it, could be meaningfully re-purposed when the machine is no longer needed.

Firefox needs all the help it can get and I ain’t switching to safari for my windows/linux machine


The thing I wonder on that front - does Mozilla (the foundation?) still get a bunch of money from Google? I don't ask that question in the sense of questioning Mozilla, and the work on Firefox. Rather, I kind of fear Google doing a 'trapped animal' thing, and lashing out.

As much as I might occasionally gripe and moan about UX stuff I don't like, or whatever, there is absolutely no other browser I trust as much as Firefox, and it needs to survive.

I don't want to poo poo in the comment section but the machines he used in the video don't rely on bios or smm for their tricks. They use the UEFI extensions to insert boot graphics with daystarter, much like the windows or ubuntu rotating loading indicator (ACPI BGRT). Neither of those two custom applications support unicode or emoji, you will get the usual squares.

The only way that'd be a 'poo poo' in the comment section is if you conveyed information in a lovely way. Which I don't think you'd do. He's quite open about the limitations of what he knows, be it from experience, or such information he was able to collate.

I like that he's up for trying to hypothesise, but crucially is also open about that, and the fact that yes, he'll get it wrong at times. Seriously. Post your thoughts there! Fundamentally, it is all super-interesting stuff for nerds to bliss out on, so more info, and more accurate info, is definitionally a plus.
