But that isn’t true at all, and I’ve still seen no one from valve actually claim it is true.
- Comment on Steam Frame Teardown: We’re Fans. Except of the Fan - iFixit 21 hours ago:
But that would have been in response to non streaming, where the headset handles everything. I’m talking about non streaming.
Several people around here keep claiming valve said the hardware in it was pretty much the same hardware needed for a streaming only design, but no one has actually been able to provide a source of them saying it, and it sounds like BS in a rumor mill at this point. Especially because it doesn’t make any sense.
- Comment on Steam Frame Teardown: We’re Fans. Except of the Fan - iFixit 22 hours ago:
Where do they say this? I don’t know why that much ram and processing and storage would be required for just the streaming and fov stuff.
- Comment on The waiting is killing me 2 days ago:
Few issues. One, as stated explicitly. Don’t need 6dfov. Only 3dfov. Also, your reviews are old as heck. Firmware updates have completely changed how well they work. If I screen lock in place it stays fantasticly. You’re looking at reviews and data from before firmware version 1.9.
The ram could be cut in half and the storage could drop to 16GB. Would have saved probably $350 at this point.
- Comment on The waiting is killing me 3 days ago:
You vastly overestimate the amount of ram and storage and OS required for data exchange and foveated streaming.
I own xreal one pro glasses. They show that your 2nd and 4th point are non issues that can be done with extremely limited on device processing power and no cameras or extra head tracking. The xreals do a fantastic job of those.
The only issue with the xreals is that they aren’t wireless. Still fantastic for games using my steam deck, but not much of a point in using them to sit right in front of my desktop.
- Comment on The waiting is killing me 4 days ago:
I’d like a cheaper gutted version. I just want the dedicated wifi dongle and an ar screen with 3DfoV so I can play games from my steam deck or PC wirelessly on virtual big screen. I don’t need the device as it stands with play alone features and all the built in ram and storage and vr 6dfov or even the passthrough camera.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 1 week ago:
I totally use the 45w charger that came with my steam deck oled. It’s nice. This looks to be the same one.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 1 week ago:
The price I expected for the main unit, but I’m kinda pissy with them wanting an extra $60 for a few straps. That price seems kinda bullshit.
- Comment on 'Peak Rockstar Arrogance' — GTA 6 Fans Aren't Thrilled With Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game 1 month ago:
Paying for skins started with a horse armor for a few dollars. Because people allowed it and it made a bit more money, it turned into the bag of shit we have now, where you don’t even get all the players in a game without buying them.
Waiting 6 hours is nothing. What it becomes later, if it proves to be profitable, will be.
- Comment on SteamOS 3.8 is supported for *all* PCs with discrete AMD GPUs 2 months ago:
I want to know if it will run my wifi\bluetooth card, though.
- Comment on Valve Gives The Green Light to Install SteamOS On Desktops To Create Our Own Steam Machines 2 months ago:
I prepped for this a long while. Right down to having an AMD CPU and AMD rdna 2 GPU.
- Comment on Denuvo has been broken, company promises countermeasures against new DRM bypasses — zero-day game releases become norm as security concerns mount over hypervisor-based bypass 5 months ago:
On a technical level… Less.
The exploit completely guts and opens up your system to pretty much anything. More access than even denovo.
Use the included scripts (or manually do it yourself or make your own script) to re enable everything after you’re done playing the game and reboot the system. I’d also leave the router unplugged while you play. This denovo bypass seriously leaves your system super unsecured. Only get your games using this exploit from very trusted sources and don’t be lazy about enabling everything again and rebooting before plugging back into the internet.

Yeah. That’s it. Go to sleep now, sweetie.
- Comment on 7 months ago:
I had 32 GB of ddr4 3200 speed Corsair.
About a year ago I found a new in box 32GB Corsair exact same set of ram I had at a bin store and bought it for a whopping… $5.
I have no need for 64GB, but even a year ago $5 ram was just way too cheap to not buy.
- Comment on Amazon discovered a 'high volume' of CSAM in its AI training data but isn't saying where it came from 7 months ago:
They wouldn’t be bothered to try and hide that they were pulled from those public services.
They 100% know that if they revealed that they used everyone’s private photos backed up to Amazon cloud as fodder for their AI that it would puss people off and they’d lose some business out of the deal.
- Comment on Valve has plans for a travel case that charges your Steam Deck, leak reveals 9 months ago:
Thermals wouldn’t get too hot, but wireless charging is terribly inefficient. If using a battery pack that’s say 20,000mah in size, you’ll only normally get about 14,000mah worth of charge into your device going from USB C to USB C (caries with charge speed and efficiency of charge controllers involved). With wireless charging you’re probably looking at 9,000mah.
- Comment on Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point 10 months ago:
My home gaming PC is a ryzen 1500x and an Nvidia 1060 GPU. Old as hell but still runs most games.
Most people on steam probably have a rig with 4+ year old hardware, and after seeing what my little steam deck oled can do, id say the steam machine will be able to out perform any 4+ year old windows system when it comes to gaming.
- Comment on [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame? 10 months ago:
I don’t know why you would, except in relation to how they work with the steam deck.
- Comment on With just a microSD card, you’ll be able to easily bring your games across the Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame. 10 months ago:
Or if they implement a copy feature, move the SD card over and copy a game to internal, so you can more quickly transfer over a game without removing it from the SD card.

We won’t have the surface of the earth trashed so badly we have to live above it and since there’s no longer wildlife have to consume everything in pill form? To get our calories and nutrition?
- Comment on desktop user password issues. can't do squat in desktop. 1 year ago:
I’m unable to su root or access the sudoers file. I’m going to try using a steam os image file on a flash drive to reinstall my steam deck os.
- Comment on desktop user password issues. can't do squat in desktop. 1 year ago:
Negative. Because deck (user) doesn’t have admin privileges all of the update attempts failed.
- Comment on desktop user password issues. can't do squat in desktop. 1 year ago:
I’m trying to sudo in a user or elevate deck to admin. Either way if I try to sudo anything, I get asked " [sudo]password for deck: " and when I put in a password it says " deck is not in the sudoers file. "
So I haven’t been able to do anything worthwhile, yet.
- Comment on desktop user password issues. can't do squat in desktop. 1 year ago:
I’ve done that reset like 3 times now. If I open Konsole and check my password, it’s correct and will also let me change it within there. But when I go to users or try to update things in the normal desktop GUI the password doesn’t work. I’m not sure how to force updates or modify users just within Konsole.

- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 1 year ago:
Sony and microsoft have also done that for like a decade+. 2nd hand market was filled to the brim with people selling bricked consoles that couldn’t go online. Walmarts warranty changed over xbox’ because people would but a new 360, swap out the internals with their bricked consoles or broken consoles, and then return the “new” console back to Wal Mart.

Oh, sweet! It’s about damned time.

That’s one of my go to’s when fixing phones. FYI, the plastic playing cards work great for that.
- Comment on Spicy pillow 🧐 1 year ago:
It doesn’t do that in sleep mode, though. Only while screen is on. In sleep mode it will cycle.
