The Steam Machine Is Out!

Valve's Steam Machine finally ships, a thousand-dollar-plus Linux box with a waitlist, a 4K marketing claim it can only meet at about fifteen frames a second, and roughly the specs of a small PC you could build for less. From there it's the AI-driven RAM shortage dragging memory prices toward the stratosphere, Apple quietly hiking Mac, iPad, and Vision Pro prices to match, and whether Proton and Rosetta have finally made gaming on Linux and Mac worth taking seriously. Also on the docket: the iOS "Golden Gate" developer betas, the new on-device Siri, and kernel-level anti-cheat as the last thing standing between the penguins and Fortnite. Plus a trivia segment and the worst trivia jingle ever committed to tape.
