- Comment on "DNA cassette tape" can store every song ever recorded with petabytes to spare 2 days ago:
“So why dont we store everything in hex”
I’m also not a scientist but I’m pretty sure (maybe I’m wrong and someone will correct me)
We’re not actually storing things as 1’s or 0’s. We’re storing things as “On or Off” which is kinda sorta a functional limit of the medium of electricity.
the 1s and 0s that humans use is the human interpretation.
- Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027 4 months ago:
Yes but valve already has a monopoly on the PC gaming market. Usually companies sell things at a loss to attract you to them so you buy other things while you get the good deal.
In valve’s case, we’re already in the store buying their games. There’s no reason for them to sell it at a loss, because it won’t attract people to steam.
Theres nobody out there saying “wow I would be a PC gamer playing on steam if I had a steam specific controller.”
Maybe that’s the case for the steam machines and steam frame coming up, but I kinda doubt it.
