Fuck I was so eager for the frame, but as a standalone device it'll surely be impacted as well…

[–] phx@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Yeah my first thought was that Frame should be ok since my intended use-case was "connected to Steam PC via the wireless transceiver" but then I AI remembered it can run standalone so would also need storage, RAM, and a strong enough processor to handle all that.

Now I'm kinda thinking it would be cool if the Frame was more like an updated Index with wireless, local tracking etc etc and an optional daughter-board - for standalone gameplay functionality - that could be connected later or even allow upgrades.
