Sure, I didn’t mean that it’s a standalone console.
However, at $1050 USD, there’s many people who won’t be buying this standalone console either.
It would have made more sense to release both at the same time, that way people who are turned off by the $1050 USD (or more) price tag would at least have something they could buy from Valve instead.
Hell, I’d buy a new Steam Link that supports H265 and isn’t capped to 1080p at 60 FPS.
The Steam Link did not have H265 supported in streaming settings IIRC.
The Steam Link was capped to 1080p at 60 FPS.
Those are some serious hardware limitations.
They could have easily refreshed it at the time.
It’s too expensive, it’s just not a good idea for them to have released this. Honestly, they probably should have delayed it for 1-2 years or likely even cancelled it outright.
What they should have done is made a new Steam Link with more capable hardware for cheap. That would have sold like hotcakes.
People don’t want to pay $1050 USD for 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. People can’t afford to be casually dropping money like that in this economy.
DMV (or, our equivalent here) isn’t open on Saturday’s where I live. You have to go during the day 9-5 M-F, which yes, is when most people are working. Same with doctors appointments.
The companies I’ve worked at are generally very understanding, and allow you to make up time later (which is easy to do especially since it’s remote work) if you have to take an afternoon off, that kind of thing.
I know you’re not supposed to anthropomorphize the lawnmower, but man, I really hate this lawnmower.
Orgasms feel good, more news at 11.
Apparently birdkeepers are, yeah.
Birdkeepers punish birds? That’s a new thought lol
You’d think so, but they don’t realize that.
I like how they think turning it around would even change anything??? Like, just dumb.
Yep, you can’t fix stupid.
Why do they want to ruin everything lol
Also because so many young Canadian men died in that war, so it’s hard to say “we didn’t” and it actually be true.
Self-hosted is unfortunately the way to go.
So which part is unhealthy behaviour exactly? Calling them multiple times, or expecting that if you called them constantly they would report you for harassment?
Literally all you have done is throw around accusations, there’s zero chance you are speaking to me in good faith. All you have done is insult me and misrepresent what I am saying.
If you called an MP every single day, and they keep hanging up on you, do you really think there’s zero chance you would get reported for harassment?
The only person who said my week was bad is you, I actually had a great week, not that it’s any of your business? You’re literally just a stranger online, you’re trying to psychoanalyze me, and you’re failing at it.
Maybe you should be the one seeking help instead? It certainly seems like people don’t agree with you and they do seem to agree with me.
I’ve wasted enough time talking with you, I’m blocking you now.
Ah, that’s all you took away from all I said. Very cool, I can see you’re clearly conversing in good faith.
Is it okay to assume a bad outcome after it has happened? What about while it’s happening?
Please psychoanalyze me using only a couple sentences, that will definitely help.
The truth is, we obviously don’t know for sure what will happen, but it’s also not likely to be surprising if it doesn’t go our way. It’s the most likely outcome and pretending otherwise is disingenuous. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight, though.
I’m certainly not surprised anymore with all the shit I’ve seen over the years and how the enshitification seems to be unavoidable these days. People, companies, etc are not held accountable and it shows. It’d be nearly impossible to not become jaded after enough things go wrong.
Phone their office, demand to know why you haven’t heard back from them. Make them search through their emails and pull up every message you ever sent. Make them uncomfortable. Be a problem.
The part of me that is pessimistic (that part seems to be growing these days…) thinks they would just hang up on you and if you call them back enough times they’ll call the police on you to report you for harassment.
Not to discourage people, but it’s just frustrating.
In that case, it will work the same way as a normal ISP. You’ll probably get a warning with something like a 3 strike policy. In such a case, the VPN will cut your VPN service on the third strike.
It also depends on where you live. In my country, copyright infringement is just a small fine, and you can get dozens of those copyright letters from your ISP and be fine.
The worst part is when I leave comments and still wonder wtf I was thinking.
Sure, and how many of those devices that you hook up to a TV can handle Steam Link at 4K 120 FPS?
Your TV OS may or may not be able to, but if your TV can’t then you have basically no other options. The original Steam Link can’t, The NVIDIA Shield can’t, the Fire TV Stick/Fire TV Cube can’t, the Roku can’t, the Apple TV 4K can’t, none of them can do Steam Link at 4K 120 FPS. An HTPC can, but good luck with HDMI-CEC on that.
I’m not out of touch for thinking 4K at high refresh rates would be nice to have.
