  • With how Valve has been playing things, a new steam console would likely be a working Linux PC, but have a default gaming GUI that you can plug into whatever screen you want, and switch over to the Linux desktop mode to “do work”. This is how the steam deck functions.

    As for why not just build a PC? Valve can probably sell a steam box cheaper than you can build the equivalent and have it in a smaller, more portable package.


  • I know exactly the cause of this. The 360 got a bad rep because of the red ring of death fiasco bricking the consoles. All because of a few design flaws, mostly around the processors assembly that took them quite a while to figure out the cause of, and even longer to do anything about.

    Then the even bigger nail in the coffin of Blu-ray beating out HD DVD, and a PS3 being pretty much the cheapest blu ray player you could get.







  • Except the easiest thing in the world is just as the youtube guy said. If you use a cast iron or carbon steel, the seasoning doesnt really wash off as much, so you don’t have to re-season the thing every time you want to use it. My cast iron pans stay seasoned, even if I wash them with soap. SS doesn’t really have any benefit over carbon steel, and only a benefit over cast iron in that it’s lighter. If you want a lighter pan/wok, there’s little benefit over getting carbon steel.
