The question for moving to new languages is always if there are enough jobs for it.

I wonder if these RAM shortages are going to cause the Steam Machine to be dead on arrival. Valve is probably not a big enough player to have secured production guarantees like Sony or Nintendo would have. If they try to launch with a price tag over $750, they're probably not going sell a lot.
arvinsim · 8 days ago
That's true. But then if you are building a PC, prices are going up anyway so maybe in that comparision the Steam Machine is still worth getting.

I have just discovered Strudel last month. Even as an owner of Ableton, there is just something compelling about coding music in.

LTT reports Valve said it'll be priced "like a PC, not like a console" as in not expect to be subsidized by game purchases.

Then it will compete more with those entry-level SFF PC builds.

I still hope that they will compete with console pricing though.

Their "launch trailer" shows the Steam Machine running Windows.

Wasn't that the desktop mode of SteamOS?

Correct but the customer doesn't care whose fault it is, they just want to play the latest games.

Valve making more devices to propogate Steam is a good thing. If they achieve critical mass, EA will then be pressured to implement a compatible solution.

>but it’s a success anyway

That's also debatable. Switch 2 sold 10m units in 6 months compared to the Steam Deck's 4 million in 3 years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Steam Deck is niche even among the gaming crowd.

>COD, Fortnite, LoL players can stay on windows. I’m happy to play newest indie game on my Linux machine

This is the mindset that makes the Steam Machine DOA if not priced correctly. No one will pay $800 just to play Hollow Knight in 4k

Good thing Valve is not a publicly traded company unlike Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.

I will pay that money to finish up my backlog of games on Steam. I already pay that much for Steam Deck anyway.

I've played much more graphically complex games on my M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB ram and _not_ had that issue. I think the makers/porters of Inscryption are to blame for your issue, not Apple.

I agree with the other guy. Just plugging in my M1 Max Macbook to an external 4k monitor makes it hot to touch. I don't what they are doing with the cooling on this laptop.

Tim Cook has shown everybody what he is good at. It’s not running a user-first computer company. It’s time for him to be shown the door.

Can’t even scroll right in the text editor. Trillion-dollar company.

MacOS still doesn't separate trackpad and mouse scrolling settings.

Ended up having to install a 3rd party mouse scroll reverser to get the behavior I want.

It's written in Svelte, which personally I'm excited about just because it means that a pretty big tech company is using it :)

And the "leak" is fun for me because you can see how they write their components haha

arvinsim · a month ago
Can you tell me what is the number 1 feature that Svelte has over the incumbents like React?
