Steam Machines starts at $1049/€1039 and is barely able to run high-end games. Basically, no RT, mostly 1080p — not what a living room gamer would prefer in mid 2026. Some games are deliberately targeting RT only on PC and cutting yourself out is a sad choice.

AMD just released a new driver without Windows 10 support and without a warning about this incompatibility. Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 removes your current driver, then can't install the new one and leaves your system in a broken state. It's the driver that was supposed to bring FSR 4.1 to older cards.
AMD have tried to pretend Windows 10 is no longer supported at all. When it was pointed out that it is updated for all users in Europe and for commercial partners, they gave up. The fix is coming later and as of now you can disable the update and install the previous version.
NVIDIA messed up the same way a bit earlier which makes it twice funnier.

Stupid tech takes: Valve said Linus that they can't subsidize the device in any way since they can't guarantee that users will stay on Steam OS and/or buy games...

This legend made a GPU cooling out of an ice maker:

An Ice Machine Shouldn’t Cool a GPU. I Did It Anyway.
I took a countertop ice machine, bypassed its normal cycle, turned the ice bucket into a tiny reservoir, and used it to cool an RTX 3060.
Stock, it was basically just a bucket of water.
Modified, it somehow became a cursed little GPU chiller.
The RTX 3060…

Folks, my ENTIRE PC is cheaper
It has RTX 5070 and CHEAPER
All that to help boomers to generate shitty postcards for their socials. Since we all know how fake cats are crucial to the society...

That's BS IMO, since these pieces are only possible during heavy subsidiary from governments and investors.
And AI is not making money, not causing rise in efficiency, and only rise prices for both consumers and corporations.

And here's the second side of why it will not work: since prices are slowing down the whole damn economy, they are going to be treated as illegal and artificial and companies will either be fined or lower them back.
