Valve explicitly said it is to be considered as a PC, focussed on playing game, not a console. Thus a PC price point, not sold at loss.
Their word, not mine.
Honestly, I have no link with LDLC, other than buying components from time to time there (they are basically France small scale Microcenter). It has been quite a while since I last bought something from them though.
But I found that tentative at viral marketing quite funny, and wanted to share.
It has been a while since I've set it up, but I remember using this kernel documentations.

My setup was based on a Raspberry Pi 3 (I believe), and your hardware (including the cable) need to have the specific pin for it to work.
Not yet, but I'll look at it tonight.
The Steam Machine is probably better integrated, and thus smaller, thank to it being custom made, I just posted this one because I found it interesting to see third parties trying to do their own with of the shelves components.
Personally I think I'll go with the Steam Machine, but I'd have liked for it to be available as a barebone version without memery and ssd, as I already have some compatible one laying around in my component stash.
You have to take into account the price is always shown with VAT included in the EU, not in the US.
The price without VAT in France would be €865,83.
On the hardware side, the warranry is 5 years. On the software side, it is Steam responsability, not LDLC. Considering Linux still support some hardware that are more than 30 years old, I suppose you don't have to worry too much here.
Soon to become CaaS, Childhood as a Service.
Still, strangely that wasn't a Boeing...

Hi friends,
There was many threads lately on that topic, and despite attempts at making all those threads follow the community rules, looks like it will be better to make a megathread in order to avoid drowning other topics under the constant updates about this.
You find bellow multiple sections, containing as much info as possible on every aspect of this topic, including the latest news (as well as older ones), and how to participate in fighting it (if you wish to).
The moderation, even if we do have our own personal opinion on the topic, will try to stay as neutral as possible, which mean all opinion (for or against) are welcome, as long as it respect the rules, especially rule 2.
As a special exception to rule 4, memes are welcome in the comment section, as I saw some good ones in various other topics, as soon as they respect rule 2.

I’m calling to urge [company name] to immediately end the policy that unfairly targets the adult content industry. I’m also asking that [company name] sit down with stakeholders- specifically sex workers and adult content creators- to develop solutions that ensure equitable access to financial services, create stability, and reduce harm for sex workers.

After two year with my FP5, battery still at 98% health.
(thelemmy.club)
I mostly used /e/os, so no slow charging, nor battery limit (until recently). I'm still leaning toward upgrading to the FP6 (still hesitating), this phone will either become my rom testbed, or my mother phone once hers die.

The definition of what is or is not depends a lot on the person.
In my case it is pretty simple: Can I plug a keyboard and do spreadsheets on that fucker? Yes. Then that's a PC. As soon as you can do more than play games and watch movies on it, it stop being a console.
