With how much Philips charges for their stuff they better.
- Comment on Windows 11 Copilot now tells you what’s slowing down your PC, while using 1GB RAM itself 4 days ago:
On a machine with only 8 gigs of ram that 1 gig is very useful. 16gb+ not so much, but 8 gigs gives you about 4 gigs of useable ram before windows starts offloading stuff.
- Comment on Windows 11 Copilot now tells you what’s slowing down your PC, while using 1GB RAM itself 4 days ago:
Use task scheduler and click the run as administrator option. Also make sure you have the option set to run hidden, or run whether logged in or not.
- Comment on My steam machine arrived! 1 week ago:
Something can be overpriced and the company can still be losing money on it. How much profit the company making it makes is entirely irrelevant to the usability for the end consumer.
If they made a bunch of poor choices that made the cost of the product go up that doesn’t change the fact that I could’ve gotten more for my money from a better designed product. Like they could make the entire chassis a solid copper cube and that could cost say $1000 alone. And it could cool like shit. If they did then this $2k copper steam machine would be extremely overpriced.

The PC won’t be the same size. Or have CEC.
Side note: Seriously how the fuck do normal ass PCs not support CEC?

I mean you could have made your comment about that and not “lol I hope your $1k cube breaks.”
- Comment on Amid Steam Machine performance scrutiny, Valve removes '4K at 60FPS' claim, opting for a safer and more believable claim instead 2 weeks ago:
4k60fps gaming, but limiting basically everything by default to only 1080p is basically false advertising.

- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
The steam machine is based on RDNA 3 aka the RX 7000 series, and we knew it was heavily underclocked. Even thinking about the 9060 xt was a lofty expectation.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
You’re still paying the premium for getting a low power parts in a small form factor. At half the price it’s a lot easier to justify to someone who doesn’t really care. But at almost twice the price that FPS per dollar difference is a lot higher.
This random ass power spec computer is going to kick the shit out of the steam machine. Again if size isn’t a concern. And I’m sure actual oems have smaller pcs with less compromised performance.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
Obviously, no shit. I never meant to imply that this was targeted at me. But I know multiple people who already have a high end computer who would also like this for their living room.
If it was $600 like I’d originally hoped I’d be interested. I wasn’t going to get one day 1, but I’d have picked one up once they’re consistently in stock. But $1000 for mid specs is rough for anyone. Just like the steam controller, Valve has made another hyper niche device.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
That was before the RAM shortage. It’s going to be at least 1 full year before RAM price start going down and they can offer discounts. Unless the AI bubble pops. And that’ll have huge economic consequences.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
The frame sure aint gonna be cheap hardware. 0% chance it can match the quest in price. But since it doesn’t need as much storage I’m hoping it’ll be 700-800. But I wouldn’t blink if it’s $1000. Valve just doesn’t have the economies of scale Meta will.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 weeks ago:
Same for me. I was expecting like $1200 for the base model which nobody should pay that much for such middling specs.
But still $1k is way more than I’d pay for an HTPC. I’d much rather the steam link approach and use streaming to my already nice and powerful desktop. I guess this is a nice thing to point newbies who want a box that should “just work” and don’t already have something and don’t want to build.
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook warns AI-driven price increases are unavoidable 3 weeks ago:
How often are you creating new Apple IDs on phones without any previous cell connections?
And why not just create the account in settings after you set up the phone? There’s no reason to reset the phone just to make an Apple ID.

- Comment on New Steam update shows four Steam Machine models, though we still don't have a release date 2 months ago:
It’s not really a console at that point. The biggest upside to selling a fully complete out of the box experience is you’ve set the floor. Much like how the steam deck set the floor for handheld performance. People have one point of comparison, how does it compare to the steam machine. Not how does it compare to a steam machine.
- Comment on Got my Steam Controller today 2 months ago:
I came from an elite 2 too. I think I feel the same about the vibration motors. I think the OG 360s are worse than the steams, but the Elites honestly seem about perfect to me.
Also I haven’t measured it, but do the elites triggers feel much longer than the steam? I primarily use a controller to play FH5/motorsport and they feel shallower.
- Comment on Some speculation on the Steam Controller and scalpers 2 months ago:
there’s basically no way you can find no difference between the trackpads on the Steam Controller, and the trackpad on the PS controllers
Never said there’s no difference, just that it’s good enough to navigate the desktop on a couch.
Does a PS 4/5 allow you to fully remap all the controls of a game to literally whatever you want?
Not natively, but they’re a normal directinput device so there’s plenty of software out there to do it. Plus steam input for steam games.
- Comment on Some speculation on the Steam Controller and scalpers 2 months ago:
How many people do you think really want a steam controller? It costs more than an xbox or ps5 factory controller. TMR isn’t unique to the steam controller, the ps4/5 controllers have a trackpad for basic navigating the desktop on a couch, and you can only use it with steam games. (GN review) For any normal person there’s very little reason to get it over the myriad of other great controllers out there.
Valve themselves even said they’re targeting a niche.

No controller should be proprietary to one launcher on PC. This is classic valve being platform exclusive dicks.

Did you get the “There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction.” Error? Just spam continue on that screen. Don’t bother changing payment methods, it’s their processor that’s dying.

Wow you need upscaling to hit 4k 60 on the 4090?
They also suggest the 7900xtx which is a lot worse so may be it just needs an ungodly 24 gigs of vram?

They connect to your phone via Bluetooth, or some with cables. You can’t really block Bluetooth without jamming. Idk about China, but in the US that’s highly illegal, and will break every 2.4ghz device (like WiFi)
