  I believe the base EMMC model is sold at a loss, the other ones make some money for Valve if i’m not mistaken…

  At least this isn’t that $100 internet subscription computer from the 2000s, that people purchased just to erase the subscription-based OS and slap a fresh copy of Win95/98 on it 🤣 poor Netpliance

    This just reminded me of getting super cheap/nearly free ad-supported Kindle fires from Amazon, obtaining root access and installing a different ROM. They weren’t half bad spare Android tablets once you removed the adware.

      I remember the old PlayStation that let you install Linux. Universities were building cluster computers out of them. PlayStation 3?

        Yep, it was the PlayStation 3, it used an IBM processor intended for supercomputers, if I recall correctly even the navy built a cluster with them
