Can’t any of these tiny-brained rich fools work on anti aging and life extension already?

Best we can do is Peter Thiel drinking people’s blood like a vampire.

Yeah, just let people enjoy what they like.

Doubly so if it’s pissing in the eye of Sony

By “tonnes”, do you mean 2,000lb or 1,000kg? In an engineering context, “ton” is the former and “tonne” is the latter.

“Tonne” is also synonymous with “long ton” (dur to converting to 2204.6lb), as well as “metric ton”.

On the one hand, i get it. It will be for enthusiasts only if that’s the case.

Note that I haven’t said anything about what the price will be, just that Valve has stated that it won’t be a loss leader.

I’ve seen rumors that the Bill Of Materials plus Valve’s usual overhead would still result in a system valued at $500, though I haven’t seen the source and am very skeptical of it.

On the other side, XBox is allegedly targeting $1200 on their standardized custom gaming PC, which I doubt would be worth the price, especially with it running Windows.

Deck isn’t selling millions and it’s doing just fine.

I don’t have have an issue with the rest of your comment but this quote is factually wrong. The Deck actually has sold multiple millions of units.

Built-in GPU and VRAM with the CPU, RAM and cooling optional.

I don’t think that’d be a wise idea. After watching Valve interviews, it’s clear that they designed the entire system around a specific max TDP. Apparently they figured out the TDP, picked a fan to move it, then designed the rest of the cooling system based on that.

If you start swapping out different CPU’s that’ll change the TDP and very quickly become a problem. Plus, the CPU is soldered to the board. Having a socket to allow for swapping would require a redesign of the cooling to account for the increased height

And honestly, we probably should have expected this from the leaked benchmarks. It was already showing hits of using a separate 7600

And for anyone reading this, please contribute to the map when you find a camera irl that’s not included

To be a loss leader doesn’t the need to lead to something?

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I agree we don’t know if they’re loss leaders yet.

Please actually read the body of the post. Valve has already said in an interview that they won’t be loss leaders

They’ve been aggressive and stupid the entire time they’ve been in the thread. It’s not ad-hominem, it’s the truth.

And you’re not righting wrongs, you’re just tone policing. And like the dumb asshole you’re trying to defend, you’re not worth spending more time on. Bye

Regardless of the price (and whether or not I even buy one), I think it’s healthy to have another “big” player in the console market.

Tbh, I think it’d be healthier if the console market finally died and Playstation and Nintendo migrate to PC. Closed off ecosystems are anti-consumer

You can get 8 rechargeable AA’s from amazon for $12, or $1.44 each. Non-rechargeables are $0.78 each. If a rechargeable battery prevents you from having to buy a second set of non-rechargeables then it’s paid for itself.

If you want, you can just put rechargeable batteries in their most commonly used toys. Or better yet, teach your kids how to replace the and charge the batteries themselves. A 4 or 5 year old should be able to handle that without issue. And it means you aren’t doing everything for your kids, which means they learn some self-sufficiency

Quit being defensive about it and just move on.

Brother, what do you think you’re doing here?

Are you kidding me? You’re the one getting downvoted to hell and continually arguing with people and digging your hole deeper. I told you to quit getting defensive and move on because you’re wasting your “limited” mental capacity pointlessly fighting a losing argument with strangers on the internet. It doesn’t take a genuis to realize that walking away and doing literally anything else is more productive.

It doesn’t take a genuis to figure out that you just charge it when you’re not using it.

No, but it does require attention to charge levels and remember to plug it in, which is not something I want to spend my finite mental bandwidth on.

This is really telling of your overall mental capacity. The obvious thing is to have a normal place that you set the controller down and just put the recharge puck there. 2 minutes of setup, then you never have to think of it again. I set my controllers by my TV, maybe you set yours on an end table. Either way, just put the recharge puck there. Not that hard to figure out unless you’re missing half your frontal lobe.

And don’t even bother replying. Unlike you, I can realize when it’s not worth arguing with people. So you’re getting blocked so you can’t waste more of my time. Too bad you won’t get the lesson.

No. They’ve told LTT and Gamers Nexus that these will not be loss leaders. They want to make hardware sustainable for themselves

Jesus, this has to be one of the dumbest comments I’ve seen on this site

The new Steam Controller’s batteries are supposed to last dozens of hours per charge and comes with a charging puck. It doesn’t take a genuis to figure out that you just charge it when you’re not using it.

And even if that’ll wear down the battery faster, it’s not enough that you’ll go from 35hr of charge to 2hr in the span of a year. Hell, that’d probably take over a decade to happen.

You’re getting downvoted because you’re being a complete idiot. Quit being defensive about it and just move on.

All my Xbox360 controllers still work fine, but none of my PS3’ Dualshock 3s.

An important thing to note is that the Steam Controller will be user-serviceable and they want to continue their partnership with ifixit

You can buy rechargeable AA and AAA batteries

This is entirely based on the assumption that they’re playing 5E. I don’t think any other game has legendary resistances
