Ironically HoloISO also can’t be installed easily right now since all the prepared downloads are missing. You could maybe built it yourself from source, but I haven’t figured it out…

I opened this issue several months ago: https://github.com/HoloISO/issuetracker/issues/59

These don’t seem to be particularly new panels. $600 and only 97% of the sRGB color space (= ~78% DCI-P3), meanwhile a similarly priced LG “QNED” can do 90-95% of DCI-P3. I’m not sure you can even call those TVs HDR if they’re only 8-bit color. None of these models can even remotely compare to a brand new OLED TV.

And it makes the 64gb models on ebay actually a good deal since you can upgrade the SSD and it have a full performance 2TB Steam Deck

Thank god we were able to ditch flash player!

This is a bit different than MTBF like on harddrives. Batteries are usually warrantied to 80% capacity because it’s a wear thing, not a random chance of complete failure. A battery isn’t going to last twice as long as another one by chance, this is all about determining the average or worst-case operating range the battery will be in and using that to figure out a warranty period where they think all cars will fall within.

Why the fuck does an oven have a touch screen? That’s a horrible idea. Good luck cleaning your kitchen without accidentally hitting “buttons” on the oven! And heaven forbid food splatter turns on your oven broiler.

There’s actually an official transparent case Steam Deck too. They had the limited edition OLED when it first came out.

What are the chances of everyone interested in this project already having a tablet? I don’t own any, and I certainly wouldn’t be going out to buy one just to test running Linux on it. I do have multiple old phones I could turn into development test devices however. Anything is better than nothing.

Normally the term for this is headless rendering, but I think in this case it’s more like head-only rendering 😆

Are you serious? I bought GTA5 for PS3 in 2013 and later the PC version in 2015. That ship has sailed.

Story mode is at best 50% of the content at this point. Where’s my 50% refund?

You’re basically arguing that a square isn’t a very good representation of a rectangle because it’s more than a rectangle. But the fact is, a square is a type of rectangle, just like a Steam Deck is a type of PC.

One or two models have increased in accuracy. Meanwhile all the grifters have caught on and there’s 1000x more AI companies out there that are just reselling ChatGPT with some new paint.

It’s not “proper gaming” unless your 1000W water cooled gaming rig is heating up your entire room to 100°, just to show you the latest in ray traced puddles /s

That’s the 512gb version even. You can get the 64gb version for $296 right now, which is a great deal. Upgrading the SSD later is pretty easy too.

You can still install whatever OS you want on it, unlike a PS5. It would be nice if you could get into desktop mode without signing in once, but that’s not the end of the world. You need a Steam account to even buy it in the first place, and they’re not tracking you nearly as much as say Microsoft.

This is measuring desktop market share only. You can click to see all platforms where you can see Windows seems to be losing most of its market share to Android in the last few months.

In theory it makes it possible for other games to use the same items to make stuff in their games (I doubt this in practice)

I’ve heard this before, but there’s literally nothing preventing games from setting up some shared items on their own without NFTs. Nobody does it because companies want to keep their IP, and worrying about external items would be a nightmare to balance.

NFTs solve like 1% of the problem of sharing items. So much more goes into making them actually work. For example: NFT id 5551337 is owned by the player: now what? How do you figure out what 3d model to render? What actions can you perform? How does it integrate with other systems? All of that is going to have to be custom for every game involved on a per-item basis.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just stating that a broken unplayable game objectively has no value. The publisher has forced that value to 0 if they turn off their servers without support, regardless of if there was any value there before or not.

Edit: I realize we might be talking about different things when saying “stop supporting”. I meant that to mean when the servers are turned off, not when they stop releasing updates or delist it from stores.

But that assumes that the (live service) game loses value after the company stops supporting it

Well yeah. Obviously the game losses value BECAUSE it’s not being supported anymore. There’s no value in a paperweight.
