Thank you!

Social media's use of time since posting of timestamps is so frustrating.

I was wondering that!

I thought the Steam Frame was going to be available "soon", so it came as a bit of a surprise that they just hired someone to work on it.

I wish I could have a job…

I’m going on 20 months of unemployment.

Jobs at Valve or Meta are very demanding and people can usually only cope with it if your life is your job and the many hours don‘t feel like working. These people are obsessed with what they are doing. It can be very soul crushing if you either loose that passion or want to have a life outside your job (like friends, a romantic partner, a time intensive hobby etc.).

I agree with the sentiment, and I'm sure Valve are one of the better companies to work for, so I'm happy for her...

But Valve aren't small.

They ARE the PC gaming industry. They generate billions in revenue and control something like 75% of the global PC distribution market. I know they keep trying to sell themselves as just a small company, because they're a small internal team, but I really wish they'd snap out of it and scale up a bit to match their market. Especially when talking about their hardware side. I live in New Zealand, and the number of conversations I've had with people who have gone to some pretty extreme lengths to get a hold of Valve hardware is ridiculous. I'm not even talking about the new stuff, I mean the damn Steam Deck. I find it incredibly frustrating to hear people refer to them as a small company. Jolla is a small company. Valve is not.

Anyway, sorry, /rant

Given the current chip market there'd be a 400+ USD upcharge from the previously stated price of "below the (Valve) Index"

They have to finish HL3 first so that it has a launch title worthy of a new platform.

Ofc it’s going to run Linux, it’s default OS is going to be some variant of SteamOS

Eyup. ARM Linux.

According to the article linked, she left Meta already in 2022 (anticipating the layoffs that followed soon after). Still a good talent for Valve to pick up now that they got into wireless VR with the Frame.

Just imagine Carmack at Valve.

Immediate singularity

I can't give you anything more than an upvote, so here's a positive comment on your insightfulness/accuracy +1

there should be a sign that says "Do not turn valve"

It shuts off all the water to the toilets.

What stereotypes?

Considering Valve's customer base, this is really what I expected out of the Frame. I find it odd that they focused on standalone compute alongside a novel streaming function (foveated streaming) when the two are mutually exclusive in gaming use.

I just want a movie watching device that makes it feel like I'm in a theater. So I guess I'm agreeing with you, how do we get this

While the steam hardware survey is opt in, it is still data harvesting lol

She is giving me Dr Who vibes in that photo.

did you forget that Linux exists?

There are multiple such projects, for example: https://wiki.vronlinux.org/docs/fossvr/stardust/

But the same wiki mentions a few more.

The problem is that the hmd resolution isn't really good enough for reading small text.

I think Macs Vison Pro was somewhat geared for productivity. Might be sorta what youre talking about.

Certainly not 3 🤷

I reject the notion that technological advancement requires teams of hundreds of engineers.

That being said, the above statement is less and less true every year (look to physics atm), but VR still has a lot of low hanging fruit that need funding OR passion, not necessarily both

She does! She should smile more! /s

Sometimes people have different faces than everyone else. It happens a lot, actually.

Hey, I've found the target audience for the DLSS5 instagram filter!

It's just the lighting. Don't overthink it.

I mean, maybe she has? I doubt anyone here knows the answer lmao.

It's not, everything below her nose is symmetrical. Her hair is covering one side of the top half of her face.That and the light are making the bottom half of that side look bigger.

Ugh, I'm done. I feel gross for nitpicking a woman's appearance.

She's young and her facial fat hasn't sagged yet

Do you also think her eyes are on the sides like a fucking prey animal?

It is her hair.

Says a lot about you that, of all of her achievements and qualifications, and the fact that she not just revolutionized but practically created the field of consumer-grade wireless VR... you get stuck on her being a woman.

God's menagerie is vast, but the fences are low.

I never considered it before, but do you think she might? Maybe pat me on the head and call me a good boy?

I up voted because I want to see how the Steam Frame turns out and this is good news for that.
