Their “priced below the Valve Index” comment had me ready for a $900 to $1,000 price initially, but after the Steam Deck price hikes, I’m worried it will be $1,200 or more. I’m really excited for it, but I will have to draw the line somewhere, price wise.
And not because his company has a specific need for it, but specifically as a market denial tactic. It turns out, if you have no meaningful way to make your product useful, but also have more money than god, you can just disrupt global supply chains until your competitors can’t compete and your unwilling market is captured.
I always wondered about that gif. Thanks!
I think it’s really dangerous to keep dismissing the Greenland talk as a distraction. We have learned the lesson dozens of times before not to dismiss anything he says because it’s just “crazy talk.”
Taking control of Greenland and Canada would give a US-Russian alliance complete control over the Arctic circle, which has been a tactical goal of Putin’s for decades.
The day could come very soon when the US will take military action against Europe on behalf of Russian interests, and the rest of the world should take it seriously and prepare.
Yep, but the states with sales tax get tired of getting cheated out of their tax revenue. The specific example where I saw this was a major hardware store chain in Oregon (no sales tax) right near the border of Washington (6.5% sales tax). They asked everyone “Washington or Oregon” at the register and checked ID for anyone who said Oregon.
Quick search says that Washington considers it a “sales and use” tax, so anything purchased out of state, but intended for use in Washington is supposed to be taxed. Kinda messed up, really.
In some cases like that, where you’re in a state that has no sales tax, but near the border of one that does, they’ll actually check ID and charge you sales tax if you’re from the sales tax state.
I would be surprised if your PC blocks enough signal to warrant getting an extender, but if you do find that you need one, make sure it’s at least a true USB 3.0. Plugging a 2.0 extender into your 3.0 port effectively turns it into a 2.0 port.
In your post, you asked
Almost certainly it can’t. USB 3.0 has about 10x the data transfer speed of 2.0, so if they specify 3.0 it probably needs it.
