I don’t think this is true, they use different tracking technology.
- Comment on Valve Says the Steam Machine Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 2 weeks ago:
Yup i have 3 base stations, but i also found even with covering all reflective sources, you can suddenly lose tracking for no apparent reason and often made some games annoying to play. I hope the inside out tracking isn’t worse, too bad they didn’t add some backward compatibility for those who still have base stations.

Nah, while the Index controllers were awesome, the potentiometer used for the thumbsticks were total garbage and break super easy. I’m so ready for a tmr (magnetic thumbsticks) fix.

- Comment on "What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" Gabe Newell reportedly once shouted at one of Valve's Lionel Hutzes during Steam porn debate 5 weeks ago:
Frequent Nudity or Sexual Content and Adult Only Sexual Content is unticked in my settings. Content whose purpose primary feature is nudity and or explicit sexual content are filtered. I don’t think your example would filter out BG3 or games like it.

I don’t see any porn games in my Steam Store at all. I also managed to see and buy BG3 without being inundated with porn games, so not sure what you are doing.

Not even that, he depends on their system so won’t leave it. His job depends on their software so he is tied to it and won’t make any real effort to get away from it.

They aren’t the only ones:
Canada’s Approach to Cloud Services in the Public Sector Proposed Ban on American Cloud Services
The Canadian government is considering a ban on American cloud services for public sector use. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance data sovereignty and protect sensitive information from foreign access. The intention is to ensure that Canadian data remains under Canadian control, especially in light of concerns regarding the U.S. CLOUD Act, which allows U.S. authorities to access data stored by American companies, even if that data is located in Canada. Implications of the Ban
Data Sovereignty: The ban aims to strengthen Canada's data sovereignty by ensuring that sensitive government data is not subject to U.S. laws. Economic Impact: This decision could impact the relationship between Canadian and American tech companies, potentially limiting options for public sector cloud services. Infrastructure Development: Canada may need to invest in developing its own cloud infrastructure or partner with non-American companies to meet public sector needs.
Current Status
As of now, discussions are ongoing, and the government is evaluating the legal, operational, and technical implications of such a ban. The definition of “sovereignty” in this context is still being refined, and the government is considering how to balance security with the need for effective cloud services.

- Comment on STEAM FRAME - Valve Corporation Trademark Registration 10 months ago:
It would be sick if it were VR glasses that could be stand alone, but also be able to tether to a PC for more horse power when needed. This way we wouldn’t be limited to shitty graphics often associated with today’s VR titles.
