I got the controller, but no steam machine ;_; Volvo pls

This is because certain features (like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers) work by exposing them as an audio device to the host system, which isn't functional over Bluetooth (the reason I heard is that Bluetooth just doesn't have the latency for that, if there are third party projects that have found a way around that then great!).

All normal controller features work fine, you just can't use some of the PS5 exclusive stuff. I don't know of any games, including PS5 games ported to PC, that absolutely require the wired gestures.

Note this applies to all PCs, regardless of OS.

I got the "you didn't get in the queue" mail. C'est la vie.

Eh, I don't mind running the settings slightly lower for better performance. It really isn't possible on the steam deck. E.g. Can't even play a game like blue prince at 1080p without massive frame drops.

As far as hooking my proper pc up goes, I don't have cables long enough for that, and wheeling the damn thing over with a cart (which I actually do sometimes) has gotten pretty old.

Also, the reviews showed some good performance at 1440p. As I don't think I'll go above 1080p with upscaling, I'm excited.

I signed up to get one the moment I heard about the price. I like gaming on my PC, but I much prefer playing certain games on the big screen in the living room. Likewise, my partner has gotten used to the Steam Deck's UI so it'll be great to get her more into gaming.

The Steam Deck + Dock is what I currently use, but playing everything in 720p upscaled to 1080 (or just playing indie games) is pretty frustrating.

And I've used moonlight/steam streaming/even Nvidia gamestream (I have an Nvidia shield) - while they're fine solutions, I don't like the compression artifacts of streaming. Also annoys me that the game physically renders on my computer.

So, yeah, TL;DR I want a Steam Machine. I'm also excited to use desktop mode on occasion. And when the machine finally runs its course, it'll be a nice looking server for the closet!

That's unfortunately in place to stop scalpers. Realistically, once demand dies down, you'll be able to order anonymously/with a new account like most pre-existing steam Hardware.

I mean, honestly that translation is correct - it just lands differently in English as the idioms don't really carry the same level of weight. Grok _did_ just threaten to wipe out his family tree starting at the roots - devastating, to say the least.

I guess profanity filters only apply to English?

Not trolling at all. I'm a game developer, so I was curious to hear about instances of game devs using kernel level anticheat to harvest people's personal (and identifiable) data to sell to data brokers.

Glad to know there aren't any examples of it outside of people screaming about capitalism - which is, let's be honest, quite indicative of the Lemmy experience these days.

So by that logic we shouldn't be downloading any precompiled binaries from the net - they could all be spying on us!

Can you name an instance of a game company doing that?

Cool. Thanks for the contribution to the discussion!

All the Japanese ones are like this - referred to as "Washlets" in Toto's case. Iirc the bidet terminology can be problematic in the EU as bidets are technically what they use in Italy.

Good luck finding one, but Toto definitely sells them there, too! See here for more info.

I use a Toto Washlet C2. I live in an old apartment that only has the classic "round" styled seats (to save space), and this works with that.

Couldn't recommend it more. Has a self wash, but I still wash it every couple of months by hand.

No dirtier than a normal toilet, and the premist functionality reduces stickage and the amount I need to clean.

No need to get an ultra fancy toilet, and this model (the c2) has all the fancy features at a relatively low price (no detachable remote, no profiles, no instant water heater) (I don't think any of those are worth the extra cost).

Your "the only way" argument is literally how they are all sold. Maybe do even the lightest bit of research before declaring you have no option but to continue doing the worst thing possible?

"We've done nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

Edit: Reading this back I was kind of mean. Obviously you're entitled to your own preferences, but bidets have solved most of those problems already and are definitely worth checking out.

Don't forget İncirlik air base.
