What people seem to be forgetting in this whole discussion, and what somebody else pointed out to me, is that setting the price of this thing too low could screw them over in a big way. Unlike a PlayStation 5 or even a Steam Deck with its gaming-centric form factor, this is just a compact PC. If...

I think Digital Foundry (might have been someone else) had a good point: Valve emphasized that this is, at the end of the day, just a PC. This is what creates a price floor: on the one hand, they may not want to undercut other manufacturers who want to ship prebuilts with SteamOS (by too much)...

I was behind a Tesla on the highway once. Doing 100 km/h, we approached a tunnel, and right before entering the tunnel the Tesla slammed on the breaks, coming nearly to a full stop on this busy highway. Thankfully, I was paying attention and hit my own breaks in time, as did the drivers behind...

I'm sorry, but if you're the kind of tool to buy a "smart fridge", you deserve what you get.

What glaciers?

The "x degrees FOV" never really means much to me. Doing some crappy measuring, that'd be about the size of the width of a smartphone screen held at about half a meter from your face? Not huge, but definitely useful. Live subtitles are the killer app for these, IMO.

God fucking damn it. I like my 6a. And of course, I'm in a country that'll probably not even see any of these options. At least, my phone isn't eligible. Hopefully that means it's a newer revision that fixed whatever the problem was, but given how eager Google seems to just let everything good...

UESP and the Imperial Library were my favorite sites back when I played Morrowind religiously!

If she wants to call herself an astronaut, that's fine. I don't think this stunt was in any way inspiring though. Just a bunch of rich people spending an ungodly amount of money on the theme park ride version of space travel.

Nitpick: I'm pretty sure you can already stream non-Steam games through Steam Link. You just need to add them to the Steam launcher first (Add a Game -> Add a Non-Steam Game).

I'm pretty sure I'd have done it for 1/4 of what this guy was getting, and I wouldn't have done worse. Seriously, I apparently know more about software development. Setting up a new studio and expecting a AAA size game after 3 years... For real, I'm available at reasonable rates to any tech...

Disgusting display on the part of Musk, Trump and this administration. Really, if I were an astronaut I think I'd sit these four years out. Lord knows what else they'd be willing to pull to try and look good, I wouldn't assume that they won't endanger people in some insane stunt.

Sounds like the advice is basically "do exactly what Valve did". Which, yeah, the Steam Deck is great.

Kennedy is basically just killing children at this point and should be treated as such.

Letting your children die of entirely preventable disease to own the libs!

Best case scenario: investor-funded "mechanical Turk"-style scam where these "robo"-taxis are actually remotely operated by overworked employees under strict NDAs. Worst case, someone takes these things over to create some kind of mass casualty event, like in Cory Doctorow's Attack Surface.

Very interested. Pebble basically had the only approach to smartwatches that I could see myself getting behind.

If you don't feel any different between those two, I'd say that sounds inaccurate enough to be completely useless, unless the thing is much more accurate on the high end and the only thing they're interested in is spikes above a certain threshold.

I've had my blood pressure taken by nurses and doctors dozens of times in the past 5 years, and never once did any of them use that protocol as described.

These guys sound like white house material!
