The same reason people go into debt for a burrito. It’s easier for people to justify a smaller cost now, and valve will make than money back later with extra games sold, especially in the case of the Frame.

Hearing that is so refreshing. Microsoft/Google would never put something like that on their website because you are the product.

Exactly, but I don’t see anything keeping them from selling the Frame at a loss or tight margin. What else are you going to use that with but Steam games?

Even the Steam Controller is useless without Steam Input, but I’d argue it won’t necessarily sell more games. Maybe they could include it with the Steam Machine for “free” to bump the price of the machine up enough to not make sense for a company, but still sell it at a tight margin to sell more games.

What in the AI generated bullshit spam are your posts? You’ve made like 4 to this community in the past day, and your account is less than a month old. Stop it.

I think this will also be great for couch gaming with games that weren’t intended to be used with a controller, much like the SteamDeck. The track pads open up so much flexibility.

My weekend project list was longer than my arm before I got into self hosting.

Yeah, this was super jargony. I’d have to do a lot of research to implement this system, which I might do.

Sick of reinstalling every year?

No, because I don’t do that, is this a thing?

This does sound super cool and useful though. I’m pretty familiar with being an end user of Linux, but a lot of the jargon went over my head here. I’d probably be interested in reading a paragraph for each step instead of a sentence.

There’s literally an app for it called Sora.

I still can’t believe how badly Windows fucked that up. It’s crazy.

This does a great job of not answering the question I guess. I obviously am aware that I can write them myself, but I don’t want to. I like automating things.

It is starting to sound like it’d have to be haha

Yeah, GPT or whatever can do it, but I was hoping for something a bit more lightweight than what we’ve come to know as AI, as I don’t want to invest in new hardware.

The plug won’t always have two buttons if it’s GFCI protected, as one GFCI outlet can protect multiple outlets.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but self hosting opens up so much more flexibility, much like cloud hosted services we’re used to. Jellyfin is like a personal Netflix where you can watch your movies on any device at any time. The convenience is obvious. For most cloud hosted services, there’s an alternative that can be self hosted, and then you actually own your shit.

I miss street pass so hard. I loved playing those little mini games.

Yeah, having your partner switch first is hella weird. I switched first, then my partner switched soon after. Same distro as well, which means that usually we can communicate with how updates went (I of course update first) and I’m more prepared to help her with issues.

The biggest issue she’s had was with her drawing tablet… That was solved by using the CORRECT PEN for the tablet she was trying to use lol, instead of a pen for a different tablet.

My partner and I are running Kubuntu, both with Nvidia cards, and haven’t had any issues that aren’t solved by using the ubuntu-drivers tool.

I’m planning to build another NAS, then pool both NASs together to make one big NAS, as I already simply use mergerfs and snapraid, so it’ll be cake to mount NAS 2 to NAS 1, then add it to the mergerfs pool. That probably won’t happen for a bit longer. I’m currently at 78TB with a max capacity of 256TB, and generating only about 1-2TB per month.

I do wonder how low-power it is. Like is it just low power because the screen is off, or are some part of SteamOS shutting down as well to save power.
