Really cool of valve to do this and include a full tutorial.
Just about any other company would keep it closed and sell the accessory with proprietary software; then if that was not commercially viable, would just not release anything at all.
IDGAF if Newell is a Epstein-class helo-pad yacht billionaire. Valve’s success is built on the recognition that customers are the source of success, rather than a resource to be extracted. Valve is bringing PC citizenship to console subjects. Just in time for the 4th of July.

that’s the problem, you should give a fuck about this! as well as valve’s history of promoting gambling, and the superprofits they get by overcharging publishers (especially indie devs which don’t get the special reduced rates bigger publishers get). don’t overlook all of this because they run a cool platform you like!

Uhhhh…hey buddy, we’re in a Lemmy thread. No need for anger even if you disagree. It’s a Lemmy thread. Nobody died. It’s far from being worthy of giving this level of anger over, when SOOOOOOOOO much worse shit to get mad about.
For example, our president is a pedophile surrounded in government by pedophile protectors.
It’s not a conspiracy that the largest companies ARE working together to make the rich richer while the common man gets less. The world now has a trillionaire. At no point is there any reason why anyone should have even 1/10th of that.
And the media is designed to keep us divided, and now CBS and CNN may as well be called state media, while Rupert Murdock (founder of Fox News) said something like “I realized I could make a lot of money by emotionally manipulating people based on racial bias. You can sell racism.”
And now we’re back here, in this Lemmy thread getting heated over publishing fees and gambling. Kinda gives you a scale.

yeah, it would be such a good world if that were our biggest problems
What a weird comment… Even in the part you quoted, they literally said they edited the comment to make it less mean.

Wow … nice to see!
It is the difference between objectively bad and comparatively bad.
Independence from Corporate Bullshit Day!
Too bad that this runs using a battery, would have been nice if the Steam Machine included some pogo pins I/O for that kind of thing.
Where did you see the battery? I don’t see one mentioned anywhere
here
For some reason the battery isn’t mentioned in the parts list but it’s shown in the video and mentioned in the instructions. Would be pretty easy to power the esp feather with a dcdc converter off of a USB port or something assuming it doesn’t take 5v directly
This is a bunch of stuff that you can order from Adafruit, so idk where Steam comes into it.
Also the screen is 5.83" which is a yawner. It’s a drag that e-ink screens are still all so small. Wake me up when there’s an affordable 14 inch one or larger, that doesn’t take 20+ seconds to refresh. 1 second is tolerable. Motion video is not required.
afaik it’s very possible to make e-inks with 20+fps, but the microcontroller used to power the display isn’t powerful enough. I’ll link the yt vid if I can find it.
found it: https://youtu.be/nHbA2-_qzH4
it’s a 60 fps colour e-ink display
Blame patents. E-Ink is under the thumb of one company and using patents they block any and all competition and thus most innovation.
