Do you guys think they will also open-source half-life 3 once it's released?

Being used to modern journalism I was not expecting even a link to schematics, but instead I was given list of all required components and even re-upload of a video showing how to assemble it. What a treasure this website is

gamingonlinux is not classic journalism. They are just a bunch of nerds loving what they do, which makes the website super awesome.

Gamingonlinux and Steamdeckhq are the two sites I follow specifically for steam hardware news, and they're both pretty good about providing source links and actual info.

Deck Ready is also a great YT channel about Steam news!

I hate it the most when it’s a link that looks like it will go to the source but it just goes to another, older, story on the same site.

Sweet. Now I just need a foundry in my garage.

[–] birne@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A foundry for what? To 3d print the parts?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

You can 3D print the screens and chips?

[–] birne@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, you can buy them. They didn't design any screens and chips, they just bought parts and assembled them. And now they told you what parts to buy and how to assemble them.

I wish I could make those at home

I don't know much about electronic components. This is a diy kit with a esp32 board in it. Could you reflash with valve firmware and have it just work? Or would different aspect ratio of screen mean a slight change to a config or full reworking?

You'd probably have to significantly change the firmware - It would probably be easier to just program it to pull stuff using esphome
