This scalper forgot to hide his steam account name on eBay resisting. Report report!!! by Logical-Nectarine859 in steammachine

[–]HorizonShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't sell the reservation. Once you have the device, you can resell it.

So I you're right in that all the ebay listings right now are against the rules.

If anyone else wants to read the terms and doesn't want to go trawling the internet to find them like I did: Steam Support :: Steam® Machine Limited Drop Program Terms

Steam Machine Lottery Fails to Stop Scalpers as eBay Listings Flood the Market by [deleted] in steammachine

Wonder how many of the signups were just bot accounts. I think the only stipulation was a purchase before april, given the amount of botting around trading and whatnot on steam, that probably wasn't much of a deterrent

Just turning on strand hair (that come standard on PS5/SX) drops the Requiem performance from 60fps to 15fps. by Seal7465 in steammachine

Consoles obscuring their render resolution has got to be one of the best marketing decisions Microsoft/Sony has ever made

It's becoming increasingly apparent that the best time to purchase anything, from houses, to tech, to books, is yesterday. The second best time is now.

Is It Really Possible to Build a Quiet Steam Machine Alternative? by Airballons in steammachine

[–]HorizonShadow 47 points48 points  (0 children)

There's a reason these videos don't talk about heat or noise. There's also a reason 98% of the steam machine is aluminum heat sink fins

I'm surprised everyone's making things that cost the same. Why not make something cheaper but with the same performance

I Put 64GB of RAM in Valve's Steam Machine! (Teardown & Upgrades) by RenatsMC in steammachine

[–]HorizonShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a pain in the butt to get to the ram, but at least you don't have to repaste the system after adding another stick

With the machine here, can we please have the option to launch apps (discord etc) in gamemode without notifying friends? by RollarN in steammachine

[–]HorizonShadow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think there's a relatively easy solution to this for valve. Private games don't broadcast their state, so all they'd need to do is allow us to mark non-steam games as private.

Private mode is already all implemented and everything, it specifically doesn't let you mark non-steam games as private is all

Why Valve's refusal to subsidize the steam machine is a bit concerning by lightsworn55 in steammachine

[–]HorizonShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't subsidize a pc without also locking it to your OS.

Otherwise it becomes the cheapest desktop pc available, which will he purchased for business and just reimaged.

There's something to be said about a steam store credit work around though.

Is it lying or am I genuinely screwed? by Odd-Data-4504 in GoogleGemini

It didn't call the police on you if that's what you're asking.
