I've been running Brutal Legend fullscreen with Unity and a gamepad since it came out, no issues here.

From what they've said publicly they're pushing OpenGL and SDL, I don't see why they would make up another sound framework.

The Steam Machine is additive, not a replacement for your current game machine, your existing windows machine will just stream games to your steam machine over the network. The Nvidia Shield does this kind of game streaming at 1080p and it

I really like the "Disable passphrase" option. Having to enter that all the time made this a dealbreaker with my wife last time. I figure just encrypt the handset and that'll be good enough.

You can automate gmvault to snag everything and then just do daily/weekly syncs instead of manually having to remember to go to a website every once in a while and download everything each time.

I don't have a link handy but I've read in multiple places that Comcast will be doing ipv6 for consumer class first and then deploy business class. (Same boat as you, business class with no ipv6)

Other than the controller it sounds like they're not getting into the hardware business: - http://games.on.net/2013/11/steam-controllers-will-only-be-m... This seems smart to me, control the quality of the co

I've also been doing this. I have a pretty beefy windows machine that I have configured to launch into big picture mode on boot with an Xbox 360 controller and the experience is about 85% there. It is kind of a pain in the ass having a

If you don't like the online lenses then you can turn them off.

Mir is partially shipped, it's on the Touch (Phone) images.

BT audio would be nice, given the location of the smoke detectors I wouldn't mind having my phone ringers relay through the speakers. 2 way phone calls by yelling at the smoke detector is probably a bit of a reach though, heh.

I think you're lumping platforms with kernels, they're not interchangeable terms. "Linux" isn't a platform because no one has defined what "Linux" is supposed to be. Android and Ubuntu can be platforms bec

Yeah but does it really help the average home? If you have one thermostat in your house more temperature data doesn't really help, it can only set one temperature for the whole house. If you have a multi-zone house then yeah, your bott

"Linux" isn't a platform, "SteamOS" is though. Having an undefined "general Linux" is impossible for them to support, especially since there's no real definition of a platform, just a kernel.

I think the trick here is figuring out how much day-to-day workload you can host in a more traditional cost-effective way and how much elastic workload you can use EC2 for.

The DIP switches allow you to do this right on the keyboard instead of using software.

by jcastro 13y ago
This is a good point I should have mentioned in the original post. If you're the kind of person who already has a mechanical keyboard and are happy with it then there's probably no reason for you to switch.

Cool, I enabled it but had forgotten to download the recovery codes, next time I visited the site it bothered me to download them just in case, nice touch!
