Having built an almost identical rig earlier this year can promise at least one similarly-spec'd machine gets equal use between AI and gaming (Both on Linux). Stupid-excited for the Steam Frame to finally come out.

Basically just schedules whatever code you want to run so when you invoke the script it will step through whatever you want to run no matter the keystroke you make. No mistakes!

Re:Ask HN: What's the best hackable smart TV? on Friday October 10, 2025 @11:54AM (#45540370)
Older LG sets (tested on C9 OLED) had security vulnerabilities you could use to root your TV and then do "??????" you wanted with them. WebOS as a platform causes a lot of unproductive discussion surrounding it's ecosystem and such but if you want to "hack" or actually have a shell on your TV it's great for that to do anything else you want. Personal favorites include changing the default screensaver behavior to the bouncing DVD logo, running Chocolate Doom, and a port of Space Cadet pinball natively. More info here - https://rootmy.tv/
