Comment on I’ve already been using a “Steam Machine” for months, and I think it’s great
artyom@piefed.social 1 day agoBy the “who made it” comment, I know there’s no reasoning
LOL no you don’t.
The same amount of energy is used, which means heat, as any other device with the same hardware
There is no other device with the same hardware. You know there isn’t. I don’t understand why you’re making this up.
There’s nothing here that could change the physics. Valve does not employ wizards.
No wizards required, just some smart engineers and novel design.

This again… Yes there are. Here’s the specs: thegamepost.com/valve-steam-machine-full-specs/
The “semi-custom” GPU they said is only firmware. The silicon is off-the-shelf. Everything else is also off-the-shelf. What don’t you get about this? You can buy these parts yourself.

I know what the specs are. You seem intent on ignoring the package as a whole. You can buy a CPU and a GPU. You cannot buy the motherboard or the case or the coolers or the power supply. If you buy them piecemeal, off the shelf, it will be significantly larger and louder because the package is simply not optimized that way. What don’t you get about this?
