Full Cigarettes and Oil Industry moves, but those never habe been an issue in the grand scheme of things, right?

Depends, index alone (no trackers, no controllers) is Quite a bit cheaper

I personally expect that they will want to cover hardware cost, while being willing to subsidize development cost with the steam store.
So I think the low storage models will make a slight loss for valve in the beginning, while the higher storage models will get that back to even overall for valve.

I’m extremely curious about the price.

For a long time, there were $1200 rumors.
Now we have the “less than index”, which I believe spawned the “under $1000” rumors.
but since index has a huge range, depending on the accessories you buy with it “less than index”, can mean anything from <$600 to <$1100.

But in reality this has to compete with Quest 3, and preferably also with Quest 4 when that releases.
So I think it really should be on the lower side. <$600 would be good, <$500 would be great, <$700 would be okay

The most disappointing part is the rumoured pricing of “aiming to be under $1000”.

$1 is “under $1000”.

at $999, even for the 1TB model, this is a really tough sell.
I’m not sure I’d get one, even though I love what they’re doing, and want to support it.

I really hope, that the “under $1000” is a misunderstanding from the “cheaper than index”, which currently sells for 539€ (~$625, incl tax) without controller and base stations.
That would be a great price.
I can just hope it’s nearer to that than the $1000.

I think all of these are nice, if priced correctly

Steam Frame needs to compete with quest, so prices over $800 are a really tough sell.
Steam Machine needs to compete with consoles, PS5 (non-pro) and Series S, so prices over ~$700 will become really tough.

Prices start becoming really good, if they manage to come it at ~$600 for Steam Frame and ~$500 for Steam Machine.

But with current hardware prices, Valve being valve and no-one can know if they want to make money on the hardware, or if they are willing to sell at cost, or if they are willing to subsidize, who knows where we will land.

Gameyfin exists as well

Not even that though, just that his opinions are not always wrong, and his investments sometimes right

Well, reusable rockets are worth it, LEO satellite Internet being worthwhile, electric cars being a thing.
Stuft like that

You do realize that you lose quality with wach encode, right?

It’s not AS bad when bitrates are high, but it’s still there.

US military industrial complex is reading this as “Oh damn, we need to build much more of these then”

different language auto-correct really didn’t help my inborn lack of spelling, and I (apparently) didn’t even glance back to check what I wrote.

I haven’t Bad a case which sisn’t mirror the camera bump in a long while unfortunately

Side note, basically every smart phone out there has orientation sensors, so it should be just as easy as downloading a Bubble Level app from the app store.

not when almost every phone has a camera bump, volume rockers and a power button.

i.e. no long flat sides, that still allow you to see the screen.

Because you don’t train your self-hosted LLM.
As a result you only pay for the electricity of computing your tokens (your request), this can be especially reasonable if the same machine also does local game streaming and or transcoding, and thus already has the requirements to host a LLM.

If you don’t have rather unreasonable means, your local LLM is just very much more limited in parameters (size), and will not be as good as other, much larger models.

Privacy, Ethics and personal interest usually are the largest drivers from what I can tell.

When asked about Nintendo’s solution for backwards compatibility with Switch games and the GameCube classics available on the system, the developers confirmed these games are actually emulated. (This is similar to what Xbox does with backwards compatibility).

“It’s a bit of a difficult response, but taking into consideration it’s not just the hardware that’s being used to emulate, I guess you could categorize it as software-based,” Sasaki said of the solution.

They are (mostly?) talking about Gamecube right?..
right?

Or is that the reason for the Switch-Emulator-Witchhunt, they actually “bought” the tech?

And, with Alzheimers, he might have gone through grief and panic multiple times.

hardware is fine. If you’re not experienced the 3000km will fuck you though. Stuff will arise where you will need to get at it.

I’ve been using two laptops als “servers” for years.
well, the first one died after about 6 years of use.
But I can get at them reasonably.

Oh wow, that,s freaking amazing.

If the Slicer works well, I wonder if/when we’ll get a core r theta voron.

That could be my next printer.

Btw I assume this is patented to hell, but Voron wouldn’t need to care right? As they don’t intend to profit?

Is there any hint of a reason why Putin would ever be scared of Taurus missiles?
from a glance, they look very equivalent to the british storm shadows Ukraine already gets.

Not that Germany shouldn’t supply, it just seems that this ultimatum is a purely political idea about the upcoming german elections.
