You maybe could have gotten a much better system for a similar price a year or two ago but I’m not sure you could at today’s prices. Especially if you price out a small form factor one. I wouldn’t be surprised if the original price of steam machine was in the 6-700 range before the current ram/storage/gpu crisis
I was addressing the “waiting to acquire signal” part, not the “removing from a bag” part which I imagine to be fast
Your phone does not need an internet connection to tap to pay, in the same way your credit cards do not need an internet connection to tap to pay
If you click the most expensive model and then click max/fast mode, the same task can easily cost 10 or 20x of the cheaper models
Generic stream emulators already exist and is how a vast number of games are “cracked”
That $60 game costs them $20 to sell on steam. So not that different than paying $20 to manufacture a cartridge really.
Dude, cops in NYC actively hate cyclists. If one saw this interaction they’d probably cite the biker
There’s 3 possible categories, and you got the earliest. The other two are “December” and “2027”.
It’s not a backup if it’s stored in the same place as the original
lol that’s almost 7 years? Insane they lasted that long to begin with
The new steam controller sold out within minutes, so it seems like they priced it too low if anything.
A used n3ds xl costs close to a switch 2 these days lol
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you can’t replace batteries on most modern portable computing devices these days.
yeah same, I don’t understand why people need DNS. Every place I’ve ever worked at that used DNS had an outage, and nobody could get into anything
Not trusting anyone who says white chocolate is better than dark chocolate
I think it’s more to differentiate from Bluetooth (which amusingly also uses 2.4ghz)
Fair point, will keep that in mind. For anyone else allergic to clicking Reddit links, here’s the blog the author also posted the content to:

Would you like me to buy a domain for $10/yr and copy and paste it onto there for you, would that make it seem more legitimate somehow?
Those first 2 you posted are roughly 10x the volume of the steam machine, which is one of the big draws for me
16.6" x 10.2" x 14.4" = 40 L
8.5" x 15.75" x 16.50” = 36L
vs
6.1 x 6.0 x 6.4 = 3.7 L
And even the DIY page the cheapest config they came up with is $920. I think Valve pretty much cannot sell their machine less than comparable PC, because if they did, people would just start buying them as general purpose small PCs, so they need to make at least a small profit on them, unlike the dedicated console makers who can take a loss on the machines since the only way to get software on them is through them
