Not being able to jump in a first person game.

Surprised they (Denuvo, etc - not Valve) don’t just hard require SELinux.

Retail units couldn’t access most of the RSX in OtherOS for Sony reasons, Geohot fixing that was why they killed OtherOS.

Apparently the DOD units never had any lockouts on the GPU.

A PS5 Pro is locked to the PlayStation store, I can’t install my Steam, GOG, Epic, etc games on it.

The games are all more expensive too and you have to rebuy them to get resolution upgrades with newer hardware.

I don’t think it’d be that high, retail prices on similar hardware to the specs is ~USD$700, including a (crappy) case and a (decent) PSU.

I think Valve could get it to $649 without subsidy.

Just due to not having pay as much for the parts, they’d be getting the cpu+gpu directly from AMD as ‘semi-custom’ parts, so there is no Distributor, wholesaler or retailer profits to bundle in, the GPU is on the main board too, so no extra AIB profits to worry about on the GPU.

DRAM will be a ‘fun’ one due to price fluctuations though.

Really depends on how much profit they want to make.

That’s a bit different IIRC, they purchased them directly from Sony and they didn’t have any of the OtherOS hardware lockouts like retail consoles did.

I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing.

By employing people themselves and paying a proper wage.

It’s not hard.

I don’t believe Alberto or Bungie.

He’s a thief.

I don’t think we need post open.

Rather, ditch MIT/BSD for GPL (with no LGPL bandaids) and enforce-

NO WARRANTY

And if you don’t listen to them, they’ll use nefarious means to inject themselves into the project leadership.

I think the burden is that Tech companies are putting in hundred of bug reports, not putting in any work and then expecting their ‘high priority’ bugs to be fixed last week, for free.

When it was the community benefiting the community, it was fine to labor for free.

I wonder if it’s even worth it now.

Might be better to try and wing it on your own if you want reliability.

Gov and corpos will keep using it since it absolves them of responsibility.

The niche is already filled by NUC sized PCs from China.

No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.

Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.

Winamp-inspired UI

Why not the original skin engine?

oh boy, here we go.

I’ve got my swiss army screwdriver ready.

PCGamer’s advertisers care.

How will Corsair sell $500 cases and $300 water cooling systems, with $600 of attached fans to people just buying a SteamDeck.

PCGamer’s advertisers need the clueless to think that buying all that is essential.
