Hard to tell.

They are talking about securing the inputs by basically adding tls beween the two of them, in order to make mitm a lot harder. A little bit more input lag, probably, but at least it will help defend agains prisoned USB devices.

That’s actually what hardware cheaters do (no need for the LLM part). They got a second computer, reading the screen, and a “MITM” device between the controller and the computer running the game to auto-aim.

No level of kernel anticheat can beat that.

Without physical disk I might as well get a Gabecube instead.
At least once the next Gabecube “2” comes out, the old one won’t become a paperweight and could become my parents next computer.

I test products for a major online retailer, the amount of AI generated images is too damn high! Some of these producs are so bad I just give them away once the retention period (when you cannot sell or give them) is up. But sometimes you get some pretty good surprises (like those electric insect bite healer devices, that works surprising well).

The definition of what is or is not depends a lot on the person.
In my case it is pretty simple: Can I plug a keyboard and do spreadsheets on that fucker? Yes. Then that’s a PC. As soon as you can do more than play games and watch movies on it, it stop being a console.

Valve explicitly said it is to be considered as a PC, focussed on playing game, not a console. Thus a PC price point, not sold at loss.

Their word, not mine.

Honestly, I have no link with LDLC, other than buying components from time to time there (they are basically France small scale Microcenter). It has been quite a while since I last bought something from them though.

But I found that tentative at viral marketing quite funny, and wanted to share.

It has been a while since I’ve set it up, but I remember using this kernel documentations.

My setup was based on a Raspberry Pi 3 (I believe), and your hardware (including the cable) need to have the specific pin for it to work.

Not yet, but I’ll look at it tonight.

The Steam Machine is probably better integrated, and thus smaller, thank to it being custom made, I just posted this one because I found it interesting to see third parties trying to do their own with of the shelves components.

Personally I think I’ll go with the Steam Machine, but I’d have liked for it to be available as a barebone version without memery and ssd, as I already have some compatible one laying around in my component stash.

The SM could end up having hardware as shitty as this one, you never know. Especially since they’ve shown with the first deck iteration they could release hardware that can cook itself.

You can buy it prebuilt.

Still have to install SteamOS, but that a painless process, I’ve done it multiple timed. You boot the iso, double clic on an icon, accept the prompt that tells you everything on the disk will be erased, and boom, you got the OS installed.

You have to take into account the price is always shown with VAT included in the EU, not in the US.

The price without VAT in France would be €865,83.

On the hardware side, the warranry is 5 years. On the software side, it is Steam responsability, not LDLC. Considering Linux still support some hardware that are more than 30 years old, I suppose you don’t have to worry too much here.

Good questions. I don’t know all the answers but I can give you at least those.

• warranty is 5 years
• hardwares are standard, if it works on the Steam Machive, it will work on that one
• HDMI CEC I don’t know. It works on my Linux HTPC, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for this one.
• As for quietness, I can’y say, but I suppose it uses the stock cooler.

Soon to become CaaS, Childhood as a Service.

Still, strangely that wasn’t a Boeing…

How you went from a shitty entreprener death to Epstein.

Care to explain? That’s not something I heard about.

Hard to say. Suicides rarely have a single cause. A layoff can be a trigger, but you rarely kill yourself from that alone if you life a pretty decent life outside of work.

Usually I go with “you are responsible of your own actions and words, not what other do or says about it”. So unless he personally pushed someone to suicide, or ordered someone to be bullied to the point of suicide, no, I don’t think he’d be responsible.
