I used to have my PC plugged in to my TV, steam box style, but it’s back on my desk now… with a long ass HDMI cable running to that TV so I get the best of both worlds. Steam box is definitely cool, I don’t understand the hate for it. Sometimes I think people are just whiners.
??? What are you on about? Stop breaking your shit and then acting like the issue is the fact that it’s a PC and not the fact that you’re actively choosing to mess with it?
Lol yea okay I just opened up my DAD’S laptop yesterday to clean it. I went as far as taking apart the fan to clean it properly, and the quirky M.2 setup in his T470p as well, just to get everything out. I also just bought a “broken” webcam, and fixed it for my own use.
Covid, the wire company makes a wireless 4k HDMI extender, the EHW-200. There’s a 1080 one too, the EHW-100 for half the cost. Plug and play, no app. They’re pretty cool.
I just used a $30 HDMI balun and a single patch cable to connect the Ethernet running from Living Room to PC. Just removed the router from the connection between the two and it works fantastic. No latency issues and Cat6 is more than capable.
I actually don’t know, our customers use them for presenting mostly. We usually use the HDMI over HDBaseT. I actually don’t know all the specs, I am in the Procurement side, they just send me lists to order. I just saw the wireless units and thought they were pretty slick.
EDIT looked it up 90-120ms a bit laggy, probably not good for gaming.
An hdmi extender, routing a cable, and getting some wireless peripherals (which you’d need anyway) is a huge cost of time?
Unless you live in a mansion, I guess…
I like the steam box but idk
All this tells me is you don’t frequently mess with your computer enough to break it.
I want a steam box because my PC is always in some state of me fucking with it. I don’t want that to get in the way of my gaming.

Yea that thing is rad. I’m thinking I’ll get it for my nephew someday if they release a new version when he’s old enough to play.
Either that or I torture him with Linux Mint and Lutris I haven’t decided yet.

Like, what is breaking in the first place?
I LIKE breaking my shit. I don’t like missing my games. Steam machine is an easy answer.
Why would you not expect to be fucking with your steam box? Also I’m not even anti-steam box, I’m glad it’s your solution, but again: why?
Bro probably broke his first RAM tab holder because he thought only one of them opens
Baby steps

I’m just…not a dummy
If your personal PC is always on working order, then I still claim you don’t do enough. Maybe you’re great. Be greater.
Nice ragebait tbh you got me

What is the latency on that?
