IDGAF if Newell is a Epstein-class helo-pad yacht billionaire. Valve’s success is built on the recognition that customers are the source of success, rather than a resource to be extracted. Valve is bringing PC citizenship to console subjects. Just in time for the 4th of July.

Really cool of valve to do this and include a full tutorial. Just about any other company would keep it closed and sell the accessory with proprietary software; then if that was not commercially viable, would just not release anything at all.

Too bad that this runs using a battery, would have been nice if the Steam Machine included some pogo pins I/O for that kind of thing.

This is a bunch of stuff that you can order from Adafruit, so idk where Steam comes into it. Also the screen is 5.83" which is a yawner. It’s a drag that e-ink screens are still all so small. Wake me up when there’s an affordable 14 inch one or larger.
