"Steam Hardware Updates" leaks shipping of review units and date of embargo (June 23rd)

Contents of the tweet:

Announcement for Hardware reservations and prices expected between Jun 22 - Jun 30

Reviewers are actively receiving Steam Machine and Steam Frame units (see enclosed photos)

Steam Machine comes with a Steam Controller, 2 mounting brackets and a Steam Machine in a box.

There are separate boxes for faceplates (unsure if shipping by default)

Creators embargo seems to be due to lift on Hardware reviews after Jun 23

Unclear whether Steam Machine and Frame are launching simultaneously, likely

However in a subtweet they also write:

Steam Machine seems to be before frame, but the wait for Frame isn’t long 👍

It's a form factor that I'm pretty interested in personally, especially paired with some lighter weight HMDs like the xreal glasses.
It could also work in tandem VR headset, but maybe not as useful since the most used ones already have compute in them.

There's also the alternative of the Bento (github) made by the cool @michaelthatsit (twitter) which is a documented DIY project to transform Steam Deck into a keyboard PC !

Anyone else interested in this ?

Unable to connect my piefed.social account to the Voyager app

Hi,

I've moved over to piefed.social from lemmy not too long ago and tried to link my piefed.social account in Voayger, but all I get is a notification at the top of my screen saying "Connection error, please try again.".

I was actually able to create and link a piefed.world account and link it in Voyager. So I'm not sure why it doesn't want to work with the .social account.

Does anyone have a fix for this ?
