and I sorta get that, if you want a small TV for your kitchen/bathroom, it doesn't really benefit from the extra pixels

Also, I looked it up, you can still apparently buy 1080P TVs, but the absolute largest one they make anymore is 40''
we're lucky that the 8k meme died

Have TVs invented a new gimmick yet or is it still just the Smart era
I realize reading it back, I sounded a bit like a dick
but cool, now you know if you hook your Switch 2 up to it you'll get that sweet sweet 4K mario ass
I'm surprised, I figured if you had a Roku one it would probably be 4K
I thought you had a Roku TV Pika
so there's going to be a lot of older TVs that are reused in an extra room
people usually hold onto old TVs ofc
also, the last datapoint I can find was from 2022, that 92% of TVs sold were 4K or above
and that 80% of households had at least one 4K TV at that point
I think a higher end cube would make more sense, that's slightly larger and actually has a modern performance baseline
or the lower end cube I suggested before, that's for local streaming and to just run the OS
it was going to be underpowered, but you can sorta justify it as a low-end console that you intend to use for other things too
this was always sorta the rub, even when they announced it
imo the secondary function of it as a Streaming box/media PC with Steam-specific features has a value proposition of ~$300, and then there's the added value of the community around it and it being something you can tinker with
For 1080p it's *fine*, but there's a reason even the Switch 2 focuses on 4K output now
Considered as a standalone PC, the price is actually in-line with the hardware cost, but the price is not reasonable for the target experience you'd want to have. It's in the no-mans-land of computer hardware.
is the issue
TVs aren't 1080p
I think people are bad at articulating the core issue:
The performance level of the Steam Cube is not good enough for TV gaming (4K)
you could almost say, forcing him to stand on his own 2 feet
A Quantum July 4th would go pr hard
100%
it's going to be cryptography related
glad they've finally released the linux .iso though
I assume it's going to be underwhelming without 1st party support from NV
and there's a big change underway since the x11 to Wayland conversion is happening upstream
only AMD bothers to release/support consumer drivers on Linux rn

$1k for this will sell out, but there's not really an audience to recommend it too
Would make sense
I also think the value prop of a Steam Machine Lite, that is maybe 200-300 which is just a streaming stick tier device
@Oakley I thought you had been murdered
oh lol
But I get them not wanting to subsidize these and lose $1B on-launch, by just eating the price differences
I still think there were some ways they could have structured it with Steam account funds, to make it more reasonable
The price leaks were 799 for base 512MB and 1049 for 2TB
That's higher than the leak by a lot
Another one hacked by the antichrist

I like being able to recognize the spot at Niagra they're all doing this watch party for the soccer game

I'll put this in general because why not
that 2nd part esp
Sorry, you must be Filipino or own 3 fumos to be allowed in
Touhou apparently lives on in 2026
yeah, I saw it on my TL
