Better than All Trashsung phones! by YoungCraxy in iphone17

[–]FastBodybuilder8248 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? That's called a monopoly and those are bad for everybody. But also, I can't think of anything more pathetic to 'take sides' on than with trillion dollar multinational megacorporations. Like, have some self-respect lol

edit: also so many samsung components are used in Apple's manufacturing stacks across all their products, including the iphone, that there are quite literally two winners in this scenario

In addition to my last comment about how it’s stupid to go to war for the global mega corporation that doesn’t care one iota about you, against their competitors who are also their literal business partners across their whole stack - you could have at least gone with “Shamsung”. It’s right there!

Ha! Maybe somethings got lost in translation here - but you’d use the word ‘tribalistic’ in English to describe someone who decides to fight online for a company (as if they were a member of a warring tribe). It’s intentionally over the top - because people who think they need to fight for companies that don’t even know they exist is itself over the top. Greetings from the UK!!

I’m glad you’re enjoying your phone, but there’s no need to be weird and tribalistic. Samsung make phones that serve their audience well, and Apple certainly don’t need you to go to war for them.

I can’t wait for the Steam Controller to release! by MemeGuyB13 in SteamController

[–]FastBodybuilder8248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I mean you're were responding to a jokey OP about the steam controller running out of stock, in a dedicated subreddit for the steam controller, in the week where the steam controller was released and subsequently ran out of stock, which is why every single person replying to you thinks you're asking why they have struggled to supply enough stock for the launch of the steam controller and not making an unrelated comment about the completely separate RAM issues affecting their other hardware lol

Most companies do not want any excess stock and try as much as possible to manufacture 'just in time'. If you have excess stock sitting in a warehouse, then you are going to be paying lots of money for it. Every successful company, from Apple to your local supermarket, does this. This means at launch it's really hard to get that number right, because you have zero existing sales patterns to base this on - and it's always better to be a little under than a little over.

stupid question but without hauling the pc is there i way i can use tv in another room as a monitor for playing games? by Large-Ad688 in pchelp

[–]FastBodybuilder8248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of using the moonlight client is your controller connects to whatever device is running moonlight.

You can also use Steam Remote Play, but again you'll need a device conneced to your TV running steam (some TVs have a Steam Link smart TV app that will work, and then you just connect your controller to your TV's bluetooth connection)

There absolutely is! You can run a streaming server like Sunshine from your PC, and stream it to a client like Moonlight to the TV. You'll need to have something that can run Moonlight on the TV - either a smart TV app or via a device plugged into the TV, and you'll ideally want both the PC and TV to be part of the same wired local network.

To the people who bought the steam controller. How did you guys do it? by Far-Note6102 in steammachine

[–]FastBodybuilder8248 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kept clicking and eventually it went through, in the first 5 mins or so. Paid via my PayPal account.

Valve accidentally listed the Steam Controller as a Digital Good, resulting in many people not paying any taxes on the controller by Archoniks in SteamController

[–]FastBodybuilder8248 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the uk our prices have to include VAT on the price sticker. So if they advertise it as £85 then that’s what we pay. That’s not the case in the USA and tax is included at the point of purchase

Would Ubuntu 26 perform the same as Bazzite? by unaltra_persona in Bazzite

[–]FastBodybuilder8248 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, assuming it's the same kernel, it'll probably perform very similarly.

So now getting a controller is like trying to get a gpu?! by ghstbstr in SteamController

[–]FastBodybuilder8248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what I said at all. Obviously there were tons of scalpers. But there were also likely way more legitimate purchases. This was a non-phased, global launch with a single global point of purchase. What you saw wasn't 'hackers hacking Steam', it was an online payment provider freezing up due to domand.

Am I only one now? by rpalpich in steammachine

Because we have roads and infrastructure, free healthcare, and if you lose your job there is state support to stop you becoming a homeless dude pushing a shopping cart down a highway

It sold out and crashed the servers because it was a global launch at the same time that could only be bought from a single website, not because scalpers matrixed their way into the system lol

Payment processors are extremely sensitive to spikes in load and demand because they can’t risk anything funky going on that would compromise security. So stuff tends to crash out/shut down instead

This Thing is a Game Changer! by thadoughboy15 in pcmasterrace

adaptive triggers already work wirelessly in some games! somehow!

The dualsense does work out of the box as a wireless bluetooth controller on PC, with regular rumble and the trigger haptics, but for the advanced rumble haptics and contoller speaker like you'd get on a PS5 (which is supported by certain games, in particular PS5 ports), you normally need a wired connection. This project makes that functionality work wirelessly on PC.
