Sure, and how many of those devices that you hook up to a TV can handle Steam Link at 4K 120 FPS?

Your TV OS may or may not be able to, but if your TV can't then you have basically no other options. The original Steam Link can't, The NVIDIA Shield can't, the Fire TV Stick/Fire TV Cube can't, the Roku can't, the Apple TV 4K can't, none of them can do Steam Link at 4K 120 FPS. An HTPC can, but good luck with HDMI-CEC on that.

I'm not out of touch for thinking 4K at high refresh rates would be nice to have.

Sure, I didn't mean that it's a standalone console.

However, at $1050 USD, there's many people who won't be buying this standalone console either.

It would have made more sense to release both at the same time, that way people who are turned off by the $1050 USD (or more) price tag would at least have something they could buy from Valve instead.

Hell, I'd buy a new Steam Link that supports H265 and isn't capped to 1080p at 60 FPS.

The Steam Link did not have H265 supported in streaming settings IIRC.

The Steam Link was capped to 1080p at 60 FPS.

Those are some serious hardware limitations.

They could have easily refreshed it at the time.

It's too expensive, it's just not a good idea for them to have released this. Honestly, they probably should have delayed it for 1-2 years or likely even cancelled it outright.

What they should have done is made a new Steam Link with more capable hardware for cheap. That would have sold like hotcakes.

People don't want to pay $1050 USD for 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. People can't afford to be casually dropping money like that in this economy.

Of course. Valve hardware is awesome and we need a place to talk about it.

Yes because only unethically-produced porn exists...? I don't get your point.

Just got back home from getting my MRI. IT band syndrome in both of my knees, no tears or degeneration. I feel much better after hearing that!

My knees are both still kind of sore but at least I know why now lol

I'll start physio and maybe get some better shoes and then hopefully I'll be as good as new.

US is about to go to war the day before I go down to the states to get an MRI, lovely.

edit: So idiots are excited about wars, but I'm also an idiot for not being excited about wars? Fair enough then, I can't win.

Not surprising at all with how uncertain and how difficult things are these days.

It's a stealth plane apparently, so I guess it wasn't supposed to be seen, but they saw it.

I mean, you said it. They are trying to appease a stupid man, that's all there is to it.

If you have a coworker that doesn’t want to do their job, your employer has a shitty employee.

I think it's less that people don't want to do any work at all or less than the "minimum" (except for some rare cases), and more that people are doing only the minimum, not putting in any extra effort, not going above and beyond - because their salaries are stagnating, their employers are only paying them the minimum and not a cent more, and their extra efforts are going unrecognized. Ask me how I know. I have seen it myself personally, multiple times at multiple companies, and I have seen it through my friends experiences as well.

In unions, it's called work-to-rule. Most jobs/companies don't have unions, so we get "quiet quitting" instead. The more conditions stay the same, or the worse they become, the worse the "quiet quitting" becomes.

If you want to motivate your employees, reward them. Give them something to strive towards. Reward their extra efforts! Don't just give them the bare minimum and hope that they will keep going above and beyond for you, because that's not realistic and it's not sustainable.

Weird that this is getting downvoted so heavily, but nobody is elaborating why, just downvoting it and moving on.
