Huh. See a police car around here and it’s “ey-up, they’ve found you.”

But I see you. Since kids I have found any phrase that is a song title (or key refrain) gets sung back to them just to be annoying too. Sometimes said track is immediately played in a vain attempt to not seem crazy.

I ran into something similar recently on a Debian NAS. It was something to do with the power management settings on the drive. Tweaked a couple of settings and the problem so far hasn’t arisen again 2+ months later.

Steam Machines flopped because everyone with the badge thought it was a licence to print money and marked up mini PCs to the point where it made no sense to not buy a dedicatd gaming laptop instead.

We live in a very different world with 1080p capable mini-pcs abounds and SteamOS/Bazzite showing how a gaming OS should be.

I would love to see them sell the controller and mini PCs through hardware partners that get that this is an opportunity to shift units, not mark up, but I’m not optimistic, and if I save $200 by not having a little steam badge so be it.
