hahahaha, what a mess.

the downvotes are for "neat"

Hmmm... let's find the best ways to both make money from this program and yet somehow the targeted individuals manage not to get detained.

It is actually an old and well established britishism

Welp, looky there, an expansion port right on the bridge of the headset with PCIE compatibility.

It is nitpicking, but in legal terms you could say he has shares in the company but not stocks. Stocks refers specifically to publicly traded shares, that is to say shares sold on a stock market. Shares is the more broad term as it can refer not only to stocks but also private equity units of various types. Valve is a Limited Liability Corporation, or LLC, which have Membership Units as the type of shares held by owners, which differs from stocks both in terms of tax treatment and limitations on how they can be transacted.

Offer him the option to transition Valve to a workers cooperative. Boom, he would no longer be a billionaire.

aren't I glad I just bought an Onn instead.

@andros_rex my boi. But do you Bifo?

on the flip side, a wifi 7 access point, firewall, NAS, server, and network switch in this performance range are going to cost a bit more by my reckoning. I do see your point about repairability and reliability, one power supply for all of it could be problematic.

As far as security, couldn't most of what you mentioned be effectively achieved in software if implemented correctly? Looking at the company website, that seems to be their primary focus area.

I don't see it in the hardware design, but from a software perspective the groundwork is there for modularity. Offloading the core compute to the PC frees up onboard processing to run peripherals like full color front cameras (onboard are black and white / IR) and more advance proximity detection, hell hook up lidar and go nuts with full body tracking.

That said, all of that would depend on decent I/O. 2x USB4 ports would go a long way.

It days right in the marketing text that the headset is "a PC" which to me implies full SteamOS distro with no limitations on installing a different OS, if you can get the many hardware drivers to work.

 

I have been looking into setting up a secure home/small business server and hardening my local network and I came across this kickstarter which is currently floundering, likely because it’s campaign page is way too technical without enough fluff for the uninformed out there (like myself to some extent). For reference I work in small industry and have some interest in implementing more IOT, and also want to self host more of my media probably via Jellyfin, and an indieweb site, possibly some AI automation via n8n.

That said, from what I can tell it seems like a really great device for my use case actually, combining a multiband WiFi 7 gateway with a built in NAS and upgradeable compute modules. As a bonus it is a German company so I’m a bit less worried about back doors that with some of the Chinese generic manufacturers out there. That said, I haven't run a server of my own before and am not sure what to make of the hardware specifications.

What I can’t sus out is how secure this actually is, how technical my background needs to be to get it set up effectively, and whether the price is good for the hardware. Any help?
