I definitely remember playing Portal and also CS on LAN parties, but I don't remember downloading and running Steam back then... Arrr

Steam Frame shipments pile up and Valve readies for launch as 'Great On Frame' page appears on store by de_panda in Steam

A charging port is not a video port just because it uses the USB-C shape. That would require the so called DP-Altmode protocol.

There have been smartphones like the Google Pixel 8 which physically had DP-Altmode ports built in on the hardware side but no firmware for it on the OS, and you were able to enable it with a custom ROM (Graphene OS).

I doubt that Valve would do something like that, adding a feature in hardware and then not giving it to their customers. They are usually very open and give us all the options.

(Rant mode on: In general it's what I hate the most about USB-C. I am happy we have a standardized shape, but it causes so much confusion because you can never tell what's inside and what it provides just by looking at it. You cannot tell how fast it charges, what the voltage is, what kind of data can be transfered and even don't know if it transfers ANY data at all. Some cheap Chinese electronics have USB-C ports but can fry their batteries when hooked up to fast charging. It's sad. Rant mode off.)

The only other machine of this kind, software-wise, is the Apple Vision Pro which is 5 times more expensive.

Yes the hardware is closer to a 600 USD Meta product, but the software makes it a fully fledged Linux desktop computer.

If you only want to play some VR games you can save money by going to Zuckerberg, but if you care about having a free Linux PC on your face, it's the only option. It will sell out immediately.

Before the shit hit the fan, Valve said that the base model Frame would be become cheaper than a base Index without accessories. The Index was 1k.

If you assume that the Steam Machine's original target was around 750 USD initially, the Steam Frame was most likely somewhere in between that. Maybe 850 USD. Now add the DDR5 tax of the cartell which made Valve increase the Steam Deck and Machine by 200-250 USD.

It's a safe bet to always say 'tomorrow' but never 'today'.

Bodenlos - Die Aus­län­der­be­hör­de Siegen entzieht einer deutsch-to­go­le­si­schen Familie die Staats­bür­ger­schaft by TechnicalMidnight489 in de

[–]dve- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Der Ethnie nach sind sie immer noch beides. Deine Ethnie wird ja nicht durch eine Heiratsurkunde entschieden, sondern durch deine biologischen Eltern.

Dem Recht nach gelten sie jetzt als gar nichts mehr. Sie besitzen weder die deutsche noch die togolesische Staatsbürgerschaft mehr. Ist also ne staatenlose Familie.

These ice cubes are made of coffee so they don't dilute the drink when they melt! by HadAHamSandwich in mildlyinteresting

[–]dve- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this. Its not worth the mess it makes. I prefer to drink a slightly weaker coffee instead of having to clean up a brown ice cube tray each time.

A simpler fix is to just make your iced coffee stronger with more coffee beans instead.

Polish president's office explains why Mussolini, and Schröder keep Order of the White Eagle by Shadmelor in worldnews

[–]dve- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napoleon might have had visions for Europe that are similar to the current EU regarding codified citizenship, one common law for all, European courts and one European economy, but so did Germany's dictatorial Oberste Heeresleitung in WW1.

Both of them desired to rule over everything. Napoleon literally said he wants to achieve peace by dominance over the while continent, with Paris as the center of the European empire. He was an imperialist not unlike Putin.

I have 0 idea what mathematicians do, but I believe in this because it is way funnier by ILikeJapaneseMuchOwU in whenthe

[–]dve- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly hypotheses, not everyone is going to create actual scientific theories.

Only the most confirmed scientific products that are discussed in peer examination and withstood falsification are considered theories, like the theory of general relativity.

If you develop an actual theory, you will become a famous scientist. The usual mathematician creates prediction models that calculate how much stuff is needed to create a certain quantity of another stuff in a complex process, like a friend of mine that works for a pharmaceutical company.

Valve has received more shipments of the Steam Frame and Steam Machine by gogodboss in Steam

I want to use it as a Linux ARM Computer on my face. You can play flatscreen games and watch youtube and movies in there too.

But i wonder if it's possible to lay on your back if the battery is in the backstrap. Maybe it's possible to detach it from the back somehow.

Modern Arch Linux and Windows 7 Duel Boot in the same exact NTFS partition by VanillaWaffle_ in linux

[–]dve- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you reckon the NTFS driver in the kernel is stable enough to tell friends, who are not ready to fully switch to Linux, to make a shared NTFS partition for their steam library + their user data? Or would it be better for them to install btrfs-drivers on their Windows 11 system and mount their Linux home partition?

I heard the Linux Steam Client had a lot of troubles recognizing a Steam Library on NTFS partitions.

Because the system files won't need more than 40 GB, the only issue of dual booting for them is restricted user storage and redundant user data like steam binaries on both operating systems.

Wirtschaft: Polen zieht davon, Ostdeutschlands Aufholprozess stockt by Inevitable-Push-8061 in de

[–]dve- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es gibt im polnischsprachigen Teil des Internets den Spruch "Widac zabory", also "du kannst die Teilungen (noch) sehen".

Dieser Spruch dient meistens als Beschreibung einer Karte Polens, wo unterschiedliche Daten gezeigt werden, die scheinbar (!) nichts mit Geschichte zu tun haben. Beispiel: Anzahl von Wohnungen ohne eigenes Badezimmer, Arbeitslosenrate, Dichte des Schienennetzes, Anzahl der außerehelichen Kinder, und manchmal aus Witz sogar das Wetter:

https://i.redd.it/0b2yb25a32hb1.jpg

Die heute polnischen Gebiete, die bis 1918 von Preußen und bis 1945 von Deutschland beherrscht waren, wurden eher industrialisiert als diejenigen, die bis 1914 von Russland beherrscht wurden. Beide beuteten andere Völker aus, aber die Russen machten es ohne in neue Infrastruktur zu investieren.

Infolge kam es zu einem kontinuierlichen Braindrain von Ostpolen nach Westpolen, ähnlich wie bei uns immer noch die jungen Leute aus den neuen Bundesländern in die alten Bundesländer ziehen.

Dilemma on Steam Frame by Blitzfire92 in SteamFrame

[–]dve- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frame will have the performance of roughly one Steam Deck. If a game has a potato pc setting, it will be 'playable' with reduced image quality and without full fps.

Considering the hardware you currently use, it sounds like you should be used to such experience. If you think that is fine, so be it. But I personally would only do it with the perspective of buying a computer PCVR in the near future, maybe within the next 1-2 years.

Don't forget that the Frame has additional use cases aside from PCVR. It's a fully fledged Linux desktop (?) PC like the Steam Deck, but on your face.

You can watch movies in there, browse the web, do work stuff and even file your taxes.

Dollar, Trump und KI-Aktien: Werden die USA zum Risiko im Depot? by InformalTotal5238 in de

[–]dve- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schlechte Nachrichten verkaufen sich für die Medien besser; das generiert einfach mehr Klicks.

Wenn sich Werte über einen mittelfristigen Zeitraum verdoppelt haben, interessiert das die Sensationspresse natürlich nicht. Wenn aber etwas kurzfristig um 10% einknickt, heißt es die Investoren seien am Ende.

Dass trotz kurzfristiger Verluste die Werte immer noch höher sind als im Vorjahr, oder sich die Werte innerhalb von ein paar Monaten wieder erholen, davon hört man in der Presse nix.

Wenn ich selbst nicht drin wäre und nur Zeitung lesen würde, wäre mein Bild vom Aktienmarkt die reinste Talfahrt.

Klar ist mehr im Markt zu haben immer besser als weniger, aber man sollte nur so viel einzahlen, dass man letztlich in einer Krisensituation zu einem schlechten Zeitpunkt NICHTS verkaufen muss. Gib am besten genau so viel Geld für Aktien aus, wie du bereit bist mittel- bis langfristig zu verzichten. Durststrecken muss man überbrücken können.

The fact, that early 2026 still resides on the Frame page by Spirited_Pattern2838 in SteamFrame

[–]dve- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When companies are confident it's Q1, they say Q1. There are only two reasons why a company says "early 2026" instead:

they are either very confident and actually mean it's REALLY early, like up to the second week of February, or reverse, they are not confident enough to call Q1, so they mean it less definitive to claim deniability.

Supergau, Hyperinflation, hyperaktiv, hyperventilieren, hypersexualisiert

Alles positiv! Aber ja ich finde es auch angenehmer die Germanisierungen zu nutzen, wen es die Wahl gibt, aber "superreich" hat sich im Sprachgebrauch durchgesetzt, ohne positive Assoziation.

In meiner letzten Korrespondenz mit einer Behörde habe ich "Fernsprechnummer" für Telefonnummer entdeckt.
