173?? Really? They sold that few of them?

I would love to see that.

Can they run on an electronic highway traffic sign?
- Comment on Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price 2 weeks ago:
It looks like it, yes. Their source code references:
https://videocardz.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1Which is a Wordpress url.
It’s not proof, but it’s pretty strong evidence.

No matter how expensive it is, I’m getting one.
- Comment on Steam Controller Unboxing Video Hints At Release Soon 3 weeks ago:
Sweet. Gonna blow all my money on new Steam hardware this year.
- Comment on [Discussion] Would you buy a Steam smart phone? 1 month ago:
Not if it used Android, but if they ran like a Linux based OS, yeah, I’d give it a try.

Can we leave it down this time?
- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 2 months ago:
I mean actually hosting a Matrix server. Like, on my own hardware. It’s very difficult to set up. Especially if you want audio/video.
- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 2 months ago:
I’m in the process of switching my two communities to Matrix. It’s not bad from a user point of view, but running your own server is such an enormous pain in the ass. Like, way harder than it should be.
- Comment on OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health, encouraging users to connect their medical records 3 months ago:
Absolutely fucking not. I don’t need a sycophantic hallucinatory robot telling me to drink bleach to cure my athlete’s foot.
- Comment on i cant wait to get a steam frame 4 months ago:
For what I use it for (mostly Beat Saber, but also 3D modeling), it’s not bad. For what I’d like to use it for (AAA VR games), it’s terrible. But, it’s way better than the Quest 1 I had before it. Still, the Frame is going to absolutely destroy it.
- Comment on i cant wait to get a steam frame 4 months ago:
I feel the exact same. I have a Quest 3S, and I can’t wait to dump it immediately as soon as I get a Frame.
- Comment on AI Vending Machine Was Tricked into Giving Away Everything 4 months ago:
It’s hilarious to me that we’ve known for so long that humans are the weakest link in any security chain, and yet we’ve built this weakness right into our machines now.
- Comment on AI-authored code contains worse bugs than software crafted by humans 4 months ago:
The AI proofread it and said it was great.
- Comment on AI-authored code contains worse bugs than software crafted by humans 4 months ago:
It’s actually impressive that it learned to be the most average programmer, and ended up being way shittier.
- Comment on In 1995, a Netscape employee wrote a hack in 10 days that now runs the Internet 5 months ago:
Yeah, but only kind of. It depends if you’re using the new syntax. Within new language constructs (like Class), code runs in strict mode without having to use
“use strict”. It gets rid of some of the annoying quirks. - Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 5 months ago:
So long and thanks for all the memes.

I never watered mine. Was that the issue?
- Comment on In 1995, a Netscape employee wrote a hack in 10 days that now runs the Internet 5 months ago:
I mean, sure, but the JS we write today is quite a bit different than the JS he designed.
It was also heavily influenced by a number of other languages, and borrowed tons of libraries from them. The entire number and math system is just a straightforward implementation of IEEE 754.
- Comment on Valve’s Android compatibility layer now has its official name, Lepton, and a cute frog logo. 5 months ago:
Electron was already taken.
- Comment on is it fine to leave steam deck in sleep mode instead pf turning it off? 5 months ago:
You’ll lose about a half a percent per hour, so if you’re leaving it off for more than a day, it’s best to shut it completely down.
- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 6 months ago:
You mean having an AI watch everything you do isn’t a good selling point?
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 6 months ago:
Not that it isn’t wildly ridiculous and stupid to have an internet connected bed, but couldn’t you just unplug it if it’s overheating?
- Comment on We Need To Rewild The Internet 7 months ago:
Hmm. That’s a good idea.
- Comment on We Need To Rewild The Internet 7 months ago:
Ok, let’s start by getting rid of Gmail and Outlook (Live, Exchange, whatever they’re calling it now).
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram ad-free subscription arrives in the U.K. 7 months ago:
Hmm.
- Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70% 8 months ago:
I think half of those people wouldn’t know what a browser is.
- Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70% 8 months ago:
There are three browsers in that image. There are two additional skins for one of the browsers.
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 8 months ago:
You can upgrade the SSD in a Steam Deck instead of using an SD card. It is pricey though.
