Lots of people estimated ~$800 based on the specs and Valve’s statement that it will be priced similar to a comparable PC. But that was several months ago, so probably $900-1000 by now.

“Alleged”? Haven’t we known this for months?

I didn’t see any other video in relation to this.

The first 4 words in this video are “in my previous video…”

Wasn’t his last video about that? There’s no new information?

tldw?

Hey, instead of using a new browser, you could build this into the WebUI 😀

Actually I love the navigation built into Troddit, you should check that out! Its pretty novel.

Same reason people still use Facebook and Xitter.

Not to my knowledge, no.

Google spent a lot of time developing sandboxed environments and now they want to tear it all down…

Can you just pack an Android TV device? Its about the size of a hockey puck but half as thick. + a small remote.

I mean, they’re going to accelerate the pace, obviously…

I dunno, can they?

Try Blorp

They don’t seem to like anyone very much.

Even my friend with a tesla had issues.

Not going to discount their experience but I feel like mine should be equally valid. I take 3-4 road trips/year with nary an issue other than 1 or 2 stalls being down or a short wait during the holiday season at a packed charging station, over the last 4+ years.

having to wait 20 minutes for the car to charge when you have kids or whatever is obnoxious.

After 4+ hours of driving, I am more than ready for a short break. I will typically stay stopped for longer than it even takes to charge while I get something to eat.

That’s very cool. Excuse my ignorance but couldn’t Dell and Lenovo just…write their own firmware?

my friends have told me horror stories of getting to to charging stations and finding them broken, getting stranded.

Its an unfortunate reality. My first BEV was a Chevy Bolt. The unreliability of charging infrastructure caused me a lot of pain when traveling. Got a Tesla in 2021 and that pain evaporated. Charging stations are abundant and work perfectly 99% of the time. The other 1% you just move to a different stall.

Fortunately they are slowly opening this charging network to other OEMs and I think the reliability in general has improved considerably. But it does still require some research when traveling.

If you have a multi-vehicle family it makes a lot of sense to have 1 BEV and 1 PHEV.

I have 3 counter-arguments for this “dirty coal” nonsense:

1. Plugging into a 100% coal-powered connection still produces far fewer greenhouse gases per mile than ICE (and especially diesel).
2. The emissions are created at the power plant, and not pumped into the air directly outside your home where your children might be playing.
3. Electricity can come from pretty much infinite sources from coal to gas, solar, wind, nuclear, etc. etc. but oil only ever comes from 1 place.

is it something you’d recommend for a privacy worried user?

Absolutely

I assume google headphones would cease to work if I degoogle the device

They’ll work perfectly.

Is there a pixel device with a jack port?

No.

Are batteries inside pixel devices glued to the frame or can they be easy to change?

They are glued, like all modern devices.

My main OS is debian. How easy is to transfer data from GrapheneOS to debian and the other way round?

Very easy with KDEConnect/GSConnect.

Overall if you run GrapheneOS on a pixel, how many years running it and what do you think about it?

About 4 years. I like everything about it. The only thing I don’t like is that it can’t solve problems inherent in Google’s monopoly. So some Google Play apps will not work and notifications won’t work without Google’s proprietary Google Play Services or one of the super rare apps that support unifiedpush. The vast majority of developers don’t publish their apps outside of the Play Store, and almost none of them support anything other than Google’s FCM for notifications. Google Pay simply won’t work at all.

8bitdo controllers now offer Steam compatibility!

Full compatibility details coming soon.

What a non-announcement announcment.
