Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
Justin, a speaker is an example of a linear actuator - it's an electromagnetic coil that drives a permanent magnet, and that magnet is attached to the cone that makes the noise. In this case, the cone is the track pad. It's not a parlour trick - functionally speaking, it is a speaker. -
Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
Read again, it's literally linear actuators underneath trackpads - "As a parlour trick they can even play audio waveforms and function as speakers." A good example of playing audio through things that aren't speakers [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmfHHLfbjNQ"]Big Ideas: Don't get any -- by James Houston -… -
Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
well look at Dx for example... the only reason Dx9 is still a thing, is because of ps3/xbox360. the only reason it's been dropped by the new Cryengine, and Unreal Engine, is because the new consoles run on Dx11. it's logical to assume that we're now going to be stuck with Dx11 being the main graphics platform for fuck… -
Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
I think it looks odd because there's no large protrusions (analogue joysticks), and therefore it looks like there's something missing. The A, B, X and Y buttons strike me as being oddly placed, too - In the example they have, they've got PTT set to one of those buttons, which'd mean taking your thumb off've aiming to be… -

I wasn't suggesting that Ubuntu did it on it's own. They are using many of the tools that already existed out there. I just threw it out there as an example of one distro that is easy to transition into, and no longer requires touching the terminal. I've been through many distros, in the past, and quite a long time ago,… -

I think consumers are much wiser these days after decades of exaggeration and flat out bullshit from the gaming industry. The Oculus Rift for example wasn't really marketed at all, it exploded when people started watching YouTube videos of people losing there minds when playing with it. It never really had an announcement… -
Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
Carmack said a while back that the sort of optimization you can do for consoles effectively makes them twice as good as their specs (shourche), so think mid+ now, and will probably hold that position for a few years. They might not be 'twice as good' straight away, but probably at least 1.4 to 1.6 times better than… -
Re: 3 Valve Announcements coming!
I agree, though I think big picture and streaming play a large role in creating the options for accessibility. If they just had a desktop OS like interface for the tv, it wouldnt appeal to many consumers who have grown into gaming with such interfaces. The process to getting them on board with a full featured OS for…
