I'm a human with an opinion you may not share, for whom English is not his primary language. So grammatical error are to be expected. Now if you can come down of your high horse and not assume anyone with whom you do not agree is a LLM, that'd be great.
Try to do a spreadsheet on the deck without any accessory. It is possible, but very fastidious. It isn't an hardware made to do personal computing (aka, a PC), it is an hardware to play game.
A PC isn't just a software, it is also a hardware specifically made to allow various computing tasks. Calculus, graphical work of various kinds, sometimes games (which have to adapt to peripherals that weren't made for games in mind).
A Deck is made for games first, and the various other task you may want to do have to work around its limitation. From my point of view, this cannot be called a PC.
But that's my opinion, I won't force anyone else to agree with me, or call them a LLM out of spite.
I mean, try to do a spreadsheet on a PC without any accessories. You can't, because there's no monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc... All accessories. By this logic, only laptops can really be called PCs.
Replace any desktop tower with a Steam Deck and you'll find it's perfectly capable of doing the same job.
Think this might be a language issue then.
Bad form, dude. Tisk.
I can usually tell 'second language' use patterns.
Still not a valid argument in this case. It's basically an ad hominem, or on that level of argumentation.
It was a weird pattern. I grew up talking to second language speakers as often as first.
Maybe it's an llm bullshitting us, maybe they learned in some weird way like 'Mandarin, Python, English'. Maybe your mom is not a valid argument? Who can say?
Are you actively trying to pick fights now?
