I hope your order is shipped soon! I really like this device. The experience has been pretty smooth so far, the performance is better than anticipated also. It functions well and it looks beautiful. The thing is tiny. I’m just running the stock SteamOS. I did not know windows was even an option on these actually.

Ah, ok. Didn’t know that.

Yeah. I think it sounds expensive when you compare it to consoles, but for me, building a gaming pc, even before I checked prices, seemed like $1000 wasn’t too bad. Especially knowing that meh graphics cards have easily been over $200 and a decent power supply and motherboard also could exceed $250 themselves. I mention those two components because I have gone as cheap as possible in the past, majorly regretted it, and had lots of issues and costly replacements which are very not fun. I would suspect a valve product is unlikely to suffer from issues like that, which to me is worth at least $100 just for the piece of mind.

I am curious if you bought it. I ended up buying one myself and it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. I went looking in this community for any posts about people getting them and yours was the closest I found. Surprisingly little chatter about these things on Lemmy. I’m kind of excited about getting mine.

still possible to build something much more performant for the same/less money especially if you compromise on size (although this is less true every day)
Really? I was looking at building a PC instead of getting the Machine but every build I came up with was steep. I admittedly didn’t thoroughly research everything but I did feel like I was picking lower tier parts and still was looking at well over $1000.

I thought QC meant QuakeC, the language John carmack made to code game logic in quake 1. Was so confused for a moment haha

Other than quake 3, the quakes have all been subpar after the first one. I liked aspects of 2, but 4 was trash. Quake live is just a revamp of 3, and quake champions is okay looking and kinda fun but starting to charge for it is the opposite move I would’ve expected because it’s just kind of okay and not many people will pay for it.

I’m so silly. I saw this and thought, oh cool a teeny tiny surprising win. Guess I should only be happy with the destruction of all LLMs.

A moron is recognized by most. Congratulations, you’re famously so.
- Comment on Linux back over 4% in the July 2026 Steam Survey 2 months ago:
Every fucking weird claim you make about Linux is so stupid/false it’s not worth the effort to disprove. All you are is a idiotic troll with nothing better to do than shill for corporations. I guess you left your safe space where you control the narrative because you banned everyone from countering your beyond-stupid lies there.

Interesting. Thanks for that explanation

What does that look like? I hadn’t noticed anything happening during a call so far, then again I don’t do a lot of calls.

Agreed. This app is pretty solid.

Yeah I checked and my kernel version is a few patch versions back from the minor version you listed. Bummer.
- Comment on Linux security flaws Dirty Frag and Copy Fail are a good reminder to stay up to date 5 months ago:
I appreciate this! I had assumed everyone was pushing a fix soon if not already but you may be right that it’s sort of the opposite.
- Comment on Linux security flaws Dirty Frag and Copy Fail are a good reminder to stay up to date 5 months ago:
Which isn’t fixed?
- Comment on Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement 6 months ago:
Exactly right. Most any time a company only changes due to backlash, you can never trust them again. And Microsoft never was a company to be trusted from the beginning.
- Comment on Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement 6 months ago:
Too late for most every user who switched to Linux. Who the fuck would want all the garbage they force you into in modern windows?
- Comment on Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement 6 months ago:
That is clever. Sure is sad though that you have to trick Microsoft into not requiring bullshit. If they were better at programming you wouldn’t be able to trick them.
- Comment on The worst timeline 6 months ago:
I do regret paying for windows once years ago. I always hated Microsoft a lot, but truly never thought they could sink as low as they have.

“technically”

Be ashamed of using windows.

Right? Always has been the way I’ve thought about ram
- Comment on 7 months ago:
I just had to replace some ram I bought 5 years ago. I would’ve normally expected the price to have dropped 50% in that time if not more. Instead it went up like 40%.
