Oh no, how will I know what to avoid now? Just kidding. The answer is anything with Windows.
- Comment on LTT side channel Short Circuit has accidentally published their first 30 minutes with Steam Frame early. 2 weeks ago:
I mean, near cost still wouldn’t be a good price, but there’s not a lot of advantage to sell it at a high price for them. Much less reason for anyone to buy into their VR ecosystem rather than Meta’s.
- Comment on LTT side channel Short Circuit has accidentally published their first 30 minutes with Steam Frame early. 2 weeks ago:
They did with the Steam Deck too. I don’t think Valve is worried about super-technical people. It’s if it’s easy enough for the everyday user to use it without Steam. The Machine is super easy to use without Steam, and it’s useful as a computer. A cluster of Frames wouldn’t be very useful.
At least that’s my take on it.
- Comment on LTT side channel Short Circuit has accidentally published their first 30 minutes with Steam Frame early. 2 weeks ago:
They might sell it near cost, since the only practical way to use it is through Steam. I understand why they didn’t do that with the Steam Machine, because that’s very easy to use without Steam.

Maybe they’re talking about foviated streaming in particular?
- Comment on Laser Guy is a twin-stick "anti-shooter" about a stressed out game developer who can't stop shooting laser beams from his eyes 3 weeks ago:
That’s crazy. I had a really similar idea a while ago. Mine was trying to go buy some milk but you can’t stop shooting lasers everywhere you look. Glad somebody made it. :)
- Comment on Steam Machine - Waitlist only 3 weeks? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been on the waitlist for the 512 with controller since shortly after it was announced, and I just got my invitation a few days ago. Now I’m waiting got shipment. I’d guess it’s easier for them to procure the 512s.

I don’t know if I would call Linux the most professional, but it’s definitely the biggest.
- Comment on "Expect fake messages": A load of Steam user personal info has been stolen thanks to a cyberattack on one of Valve's partners, claims report 1 month ago:
I use Port87, so I’ll just block that address and give Valve a new one. If your email doesn’t have a feature like this, you need a new email.

Really glad I just deleted their app off my phone.
- Comment on Samsung, who've been accused of worsening the RAM crisis via price fixing, reckon components will only get more expensive in 2027 1 month ago:
Why not just enlist people into 7 years of voluntary servitude if they want a single RAM chip? Cuts out the middle man.

They have been.

Crazy Taxi was a thing in 1999. And yes, it’s a fantastic concept.

I would love to see that.

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.

Not if it used Android, but if they ran like a Linux based OS, yeah, I’d give it a try.

- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 7 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 7 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.

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 8 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 8 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.

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.
