I'm not saying either of you are wrong, just, actually make sure they're all 45W or more.

I have tons of *cheap* chargers that'll slow-charge a phone, but I had to go out of my way to find ones that would actually power my Deck, for instance. Else it would drain *while charging,* albeit slightly more gradually, unless I had it completely powered down.

*"cheaper than the Index"*

I want to beat Sam Altman to death with my bare hands.

this, this right here is the thing I've been *dying* for, I could give two shits about the gabecube but please god do not let them fuck this up/let this not be exorbitantly expensive. It's a reasonably powerful linux machine I can strap to my face with cameras and an expansion port on it, I can think of *many cool things* I'd like to do with that, and many more things more intelligent people than I are going to come up with and make directions or kits for.

I suspect that, given it's just a controller, they likely won't run into the same supply issues that might hit the steam machine or frame. That and I'm anticipating it will sell stronger, for longer, than their first steam controller; so even if stock does sell out at some stage I wouldn't expect them to discontinue it for some years, any stock shortage would likely be brief.

Lastly, the staggered release cycle will probably help them manage supply issues (if they do arise) better than if they were to release all of them at the same time (the people buying a controller now, won't need to buy one bundled with a steam machine later, etc).

I really wouldn't worry about this while on a job hunt. Wait til you're financially secure and then treat yo self.
