Shame that the B-wing is mostly cut out of the shot, the details look really cool. Love that there is a whole rack of TIEs.

"Boy-racer" is a term I wish I had known years ago to refer to some acquaintances. Seems much less offensive than what I was using.
Care to elaborate or point to a reliable source?
Is fiber really worth the extra complexity and expense? It's strength is in longer distances with mostly straight runs. When you are doing short distances with multiple turns, copper is much easier and more forgiving. Splicing fiber is difficult if something breaks during or after installation, on top of the expense and skill needed for proper termination. Tools and hardware for copper are cheap, easy to use, and ubiquitous.
Epic has donated a sizable amount to fund Godot Engine, and other FOSS projects. UE4 and UE5 can both be built from source to run on Linux natively. They are not smothering FOSS or Linux.
You and I have definitely worked for totally different companies then.
It's depressing that no other devices are getting SteamOS yet, either as out-of-the-box or at least supported fully day one. Here is why I suspect we are watching it die a second time.
- Valve hasn't released it standalone, which is probably making these manufacturers nervous
- If Valve is even offering it to the manufacturers, money is probably flowing one way or another, as professional service fees to Valve, or ransom demands from manufacturers entrenched with Windows
- Microsoft might still be doing their usual anticompetitive crap, offering incentives to keep SteamOS off of as many devices as possible
We are going to be held hostage on Windows for years to come because this is delaying the critical mass for adoption. Even though there are all the other viable community distros, we need the brand to keep things moving.
I think there were multiple Motorola phones that had the LED unused in stock ROMs, which makes me think it was a patent/legal issue, rather than an engineering decision.
I somehow feel like my life has been enriched.
My man!
