    USB 2.0 is sort of disappointing, though realistically, how often will I actually be transferring files to this device?

    I guess I can do some testing of this myself right now, but I’ll ask for anyone who is familiar: should I expect local file transfers over SSH via Wi-Fi to be faster than local file transfers via USB 2.0 anyway?

    I miss the time when you could just buy things.

    The prices are about what I expected. Could be worse. What annoys me a little bit is that in addition to being another lottery for an opportunity to buy, you can only choose one model ahead of time. I would probably buy the 1TB model if I couldn’t get the smaller one. But I don’t think I’m going to volunteer for the large model and give up my chance to buy the cheaper one…

      From the news I heard, the expected price was around $1,500. I was pleasantly surprised.

      It’s inconvenient but understandable considering how vulnerable Valve hardware is to scalping and money laundering right now.

        That explains why they have the lottery, but I don’t understand why they don’t have an “any model” list. They did for the Steam Machine.

      I fully expected $1600 US, so I’m pretty happy with where they ended up personally

    It’s very disappointing that you don’t even get a charging cable for 1k+ 😾

      Kinda. On the other hand, I have so many USB-C chargers by now that it would have probably stayed inside the box anyway.

      I dunno, I already have a spare from a Steam Deck dock I barely use. Takes $29 off the price.

    Here’s me hoping Linux PCVR is sorted out by the time I can get my hands on one.

      What’s the issue with it?

        Streaming from a Linux PC wasn’t working yet when LTT tested it on August 24th.

    This is strange, this post shows up for me through API access, but won’t show up for me when viewing this community online. There’s a duplicate post from someone else that does show up everywhere, and is getting more upvotes, although this post is actually older.

    Not sure what’s going on.

      I think it’s because Lemmy tries to merge the posts. When I look on Sopuli, I can initially only see the duplicate post, but when extending it it shows mine as a “cross post”.

        When did Lemmy start merging posts?

        I made the other post, and for me it shows it was posted 5-6 minutes earlier. I didn’t see this one when I posted it.

        Maybe just something with federating between sopuli.xyz and pawb.social/midwest.social?
