I imagine the average non-tech person does not even know what “open source” means, let alone able to name anything that is open source.

50 tricycles worth of game consoles.

Wouldn’t need a QR code for that. Barcodes would be sufficient. Pricing info is stored at a higher level. The code they scan on the product just tells the system what the item is. The system itself can adjust the price on the fly.

Surely people dumped some 7200s in there.

“We don’t know who the prankster is, but to whomever is moving the Atari landfill to our warehouses: We will find you.”

Is the whole operating system open source, or just the Linux kernel it is built on? Where do you acquire the source code?

Steam is Free and is Software; but it is not Free Open Source Software.

“Nice hat.”

“You like eeet?!” starts meth dancing

It’s a stock photo for advertising. Meaning this is good, old fashioned, human generated slop.

Hall effect sticks are better than the potentiometer type sticks used in the Joycons and DualSense. They don’t make contact with anything so they don’t shed material and wear out as easily. The reason the other controllers get drift is from shavings from the contact pads messing with the signal. You can clean it for a temporary fix, but eventually there won’t even be a contact pad to provide a signal at all.

The previous Steam controller for it’s one joystick.

The previous one also had two touch pads and even better stick hardware than hall effect sticks (TMR); still cost no more than its contemporaries.

What’s up with the scheduled updates anyway? Just update while I’m not doing anything instead of sitting there waiting. It doesn’t even show, like, a time it’s scheduled to start or anything.

Probably the same as a DualSense/Regular Xbox controller; around $70-80. The OG was $50, which was the same for Xbox and PS4 at the time.

It’s almost like LTT fucking sucks.

I’m too twitchy for gyro aim to be better than just using the sticks. My crosshair would just be jiggling all over 😔

(On Windows) If you add a non-steam game to your library, you can have Steam still give achivements and track time in the game by adding a file with the game’s Steam App ID in a text file named “Steam_appid.txt” in the folder with the executable. The only drawback is that it breaks the overlay.

Another use of it is to play official multiplayer on pirated games that use Steam’s multiplayer services by using the AppID for Space War.

Does the steam_id.txt trick not work on linux?

Nothing is 100% secure.

Instant brain freeze. Followed by death.
