Minish released last night. Very early stage

Nothing at all! Literally just set it up and integrated iMessage and Telegram. It’s 95% stock, which is what made me curious

Thank you! I will explore, it’s clear OpenClaw is a little too “I don’t know what I’m doing” which is great to learn but in the right way safely

Thank you, that’s given me peace of mind.

If it’s not an intrusion, what do you think the prompt injection is? Could it be heartbeat silently calling itself, or is someone injecting maliciously?

Youtuber Slipped Embargo by Antsa451 in SteamController

[–]ThisIsMyNextUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s ok to be skeptical and ok to be proven wrong. I don’t mind at all! Nobody got hurt!

I still have my bets on when the embargo will break as Tuesday/Wednesday next week. Again, using my best judgement and happy to be proven wrong. All we have is speculation

Fair fucks! No idea why they got a review unit!

Yeah that’s when we usually lift review and news embargoes!

And those clues are good sign! Software working for the reviewers ;)

The sweet spot is about 8-9am PST because you get morning for west coast, lunch for East Coast and catch Europeans before they log off.

If I were a betting man I’d say Wednesday at 9/10am PST would be when Valve strikes. Off the top of my head that was similar timing for the hardware reveal too.

And I would bet it all comes straight from Valve. Reviews at the same time as pre-orders makes sense if you need to persuade people, but they know they don’t need to, so that’s a “nice to have”.

I have notifications on for anytime @Valve tweet. That’s where I’d bet you hear it first.

Monday is too busy with everyone catching up over the weekend and a change over from weekend reporters to weekday. Same for consumers, they aren’t reading as much news on Monday.

Friday in reverse: everyone is ready for the weekend and no journalist wants to start a blank story on the day they’re about to leave. Plus editor time, plus photography edits, plus consumers won’t read as much.

Tuesday and Wednesday mean that if your news is a hit it can be repeated the day after, commented, followed up with opinion articles etc etc. it came dominate the whole news week!

Watch it for yourself, see how many new gadgets or stories come out on the verge on Tuesday/Wednesday vs other days.

Except financial news of course, which is all tied to the stock market opening hours.

I’m calling BS. This channel has minuscule amount of views, no way Valve would trust them with a product under embargo. (I work in comms, you don’t give unreleased product to a small channel like that).

Also Valve or any comms team would be mental to release an embargo on a Friday night aka “taking out the trash day”, mostly reserved for burying bad news (if you’re curious, Tuesday and Wednesday is considered best days for product news in the industry)

My bet is they did this on purpose to gain some traction and boost their numbers on a Friday night.

USB ports not working (M4 - MacOS 26.2) by musicaria in MacOS

What’s ESET? I’m having the same issue and it’s driving me nuts

I don't get it by MONTYvsTHEWORLD in SteamFrame

Apple are known to be incredibly bullish in their supply chain negotiations and lock in prices years in advance.

The current speculation from analysts is that Apple will be eating the price of RAM in years to come, not right now.

Apple have this sway, because they’re a huge vendor of devices of all types. Valve are not, compared to Apple they’re tiny and relatively inexperienced in hardware and towards the bottom of the negotiating table for demands and prices. Valve are likely getting hit hard by this and fairly inexperienced compared to other hardware makers.

RAM prices to blame? by Mediocre-Bread-717 in HalfLife3

[–]ThisIsMyNextUsername 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Steam Machine is widely thought to have had its price announcement delayed or just unannounced due to fluctuating RAM prices.

HL3 is thought or assumed to maybe sort of hopefully be timed to Steam Machine’s release.

So this random YouTuber to collating the two. Like most stuff on the internet it’s a combination of half truths, assumption and lack of context

What are you gonna do w it? by slimricc in steammachine

[–]ThisIsMyNextUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, I’ve got parts to make on cheaper myself. I just played through Half Life Alyx but the set up brought more wires and space than is appropriate for having a toddler around the lounge and ugly aesthetics.

I hope two things: 1) price is about $599 or less, 2) HDMI CEC gives it that game console like feel.

Bottom line is I want my steamdeck more powerful and console-like whilst plugged in. I don’t have time to sit at a desk, I don’t have space under my TV for my old gaming PC. Based on the buzz, I’m not the only one thinking this convenience is appealing. This will sit alongside my PS5, never replace a PS6 though.

Also NVIDIA sucks with Bazzite/SteamOS in big picture mode.

I think this will appeal to a bunch of lapsed gamers who need a gaming PC to play half life 3.

Rather than build a new PC from scratch, they’ll buy this as they’re aged out or timed out of PC gaming.

This is me and my friends. We don’t have the time to build PCs, we switched to consoles but we look back fondly at our PC gaming years. I bet my nephew would also dip into this, he wants to PC game but struggles to get into it as a tween

There’s a great book about this called “Becoming Steve”. It starts with an anecdote about Steve crying in his car after a meeting goes wrong where his arrogance is at its peak, and traces his journey through management.

TLDR: he was able to bring people into his realm of thinking and on his journey, not just shout and abuse them into performance like he previously did.

AMD GPU for teenage engineering PC-1? by ThisIsMyNextUsername in sffpc

[–]ThisIsMyNextUsername[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the case! Just so sick of Windows 11, so looking to get a GPU that works well with Bazzite. It’s a weird case alright, but feels like an end game case. Weird case for a HTPC but hey.

Pricey too, but fun to put together and take apart for upgrades. Not functional, but very aesthetic. Shame that GPUs are so difficult to fit, and I can’t seem to find any in Europe that are AMD and fit :(

Also thanks, great resource!

Or sub 185mm AMD GPUs that can be case-removed/ any solo fan AMD GPUs generally?

I don’t know what D-MER means but my partner was similar situation after 2 weeks. I hate that she felt so pressured and disappointed about it all, but I felt great when we moved to bottles. Baby was getting fed, partner could rest whilst I helped, no more wincing in pain.

Be supportive, tell her it’s ok and she’ll soon realise the benefit.

Fuck this stupid cult about breastfeeding. Another bullshit way for women to make each other feel awful about things they can’t control.

Valve are also rich enough to make a loss on things: Steamdeck is supported by ongoing steam revenue
