The full quote is

We’re not going to do a bump every year. There’s no reason to do that. And, honestly, from our perspective, that’s kind of not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that’s only incrementally better. So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck. But it is something that we’re excited about and we’re working on.

The key to understanding this quote is realizing that they aren’t talking about “years” from the OLED release, but the original hardware release, as the performance is identical. The original hardware is 3 years old already (the deck was delayed by software issues, but the hardware was already piling up in warehouses 3 years ago). Thus this statement is simply stating what we already know (and saw with our own eyes) - it is not a guarantee that we won’t see a Deck 2 announcement tomorrow.

well yes, that’s how insurance works

“we can’t afford ATS software that can read PDFs”

okay, can you afford to pay me a proper wage??

the controllers look exactly like the $250 controllers, not some imaginary thin in between products.

Quest 2 controllers cost $70 and Quest Pro controllers (which have their own tracking, just like this) cost $250. Considering $250 is the “early bird” price for Vision controllers and the retail price will be $370, it’s not “cheap” in any way.

lol, more like decreasing it to 500-600€.

The Index could be a pretty good choice if they adjusted the price to reflect 2024 reality.

they are selling quest controllers for $250?

nothing worthwhile, as it’s not allowed (for a good reason)

The funniest thing is that due to extremely slow stable release schedule, basically no one uses the fixed versions and instead go for the “nightly” releases, so most people already used the version with all of these upgrades.

carriers who must sell the same phone as an electronics retailer cannot stop you from unlocking the bootloader.

first world countries have carrier locking illegal, and carriers sell the same configuration phones as regular shops.

yeah, but all of those 400-500 kkm cars get bought up by Kazakhstan and similar country importers.

well maybe in 3rd world like USA they do

Well maybe in your 3-rd world they do.

you drive your cars for 300000 miles?

Your Lemmy instance is running under Estonian domain and yet you still imagine the world as just USA

The way of Toyota hybrids! Though those can power wheels somewhat-directly too.
