I would prefer to have GPUs for under $600 if possible
Unfortunately not possible for a new nvidia card (you want CUDA) with 16GB VRAM. You can get them for ~$750 if you’re patient. This deal was available for awhile earlier today:

Or you could try to find a 16GB 4070Ti Super like I got. It runs Deepseek 14B and stuff like Stable Diffusion no problem.
Can’t figure out why you would use Plex over jellyfin
Probably the biggest reason is that it makes it so easy to securely share across the internet. With JF you’re on your own and you can really fuck things up. If you’re just running it on your LAN the JF is the obvious choice.
So who’s actually developing it? If it was Valve they would have said…
I already own HL2, but presumably I would have to buy this anew.
That’s some… uh… that’s some programmer art there.
Everything I hear about Nextcloud scares me away from messing with it.
Veilguard is a 3rd person action RPG, not a CRPG. It plays like God of War or something. It has lots of DA characters and lore, though.
I think the PC vs. console divide is relevant here. I’m not sure how advanced text entry on consoles is these days, but I imagine PCs have the advantage with keyboards. Maybe if they use voice recognition on the consoles? But AAA games usually target both, and if interacting with the model is clunky for a big chunk of your market then the big developers might not use the technology.
Of course, indie devs that only target PC can go wild.
If you’re into Aeropress and want to experiment, check out the Aeromatic app. It has dozens of recipes and uses a timer to step you through them. You’ll need a scale. It also tries to account for the grind size you get from your particular model of grinder. I’m not sure how accurate its compensation is, but it should get you in the ballpark.
I fill in easier crosswords left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
With drip machines the trick is finding one that gets the water hot enough for proper extraction. Most of them do not. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the Mocca Master is the gold standard here, but it’s expensive.
Of course, the easiest way to get boiling water is with a kettle, and if you can forego the convenience of a drip machine there are a bunch of brewing methods where you supply the water. The French press, the Aeropress and the Hairo V60 pour-over are popular options.
The main thing, though, if you’re serious about the flavor of your coffee, is to grind your own beans.
