Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony has some info/deductions about the Steam Machine. Daily News Stuff 11 May 2026: Plastic Memories Edition
It seems that Valve is building the infrastructure it needs to sell the Steam Machine.
It's not going to be cheap thanks to the RAMpocalypse, but shipping manifests show that Valve has collected 50 tons of something in a warehouse, and the latest update to Steam includes four new product codes and a reservation queue that again appear to correspond to the new device.
I'm not sure I'll get one - it's a low-end console replacement and I have multiple systems more powerful - but it's good to see signs of life.
I'm only interested in seeing the last of the Windows-only, anti-cheat software ported to Linux, even if it is only ported to Arch. Anything the pulls another block out of the Jenga Tower of Microsoft's monopoly is a good thing.
Microslop decided that they were going to inflict AI on everyone, whether they wanted it or not, whether it opened up security problems (or should I say, "more security problems") or not, and whether it made sense or not. After all, that is what Wall Street wanted to hear, so that is what upper management wanted to hear, so that is what middle management ...
Worry about what the customers want? Why would they worry about the customers? People are locked into Windows, right? Microsoft can do whatever they want, and you have to accept it. Well, maybe not so much any more.
