You are only half misremembering. The point was that you can do both - you can install games directly on it in conjunction with streaming. There is a lot more to it than just receiving a game stream though.
Its going to be hella expensive.

Anon visits the Philippines
I'm an Aussie, and had landed in America for a holiday. Was really hungry and figured I'd just get a Quarter Pounder meal from Maccas at the airport. Order a Large meal because that's what I'd normally get at home. They bring out like a litre of coke, a gigantic box of fries, and the burger. It was absolutely atrocious.

I Assumed 'Twas The Boot Code
When I was younger I had a computer where the front fell off and stripped the wires from the button.
To turn it on and off I had to hold the wires together, felt like I was hot wiring a car every time.

Colorado and California age verification bills exempt open source operating systems
Thats great. I do fear that it'll still pretty much be a requirement if they continue to force age verification through websites etc.

When people say its not ready, it's normally some specific use case that worked in X11. So, they're not wrong, but not right either.

GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS We're going to be moving forward under the expectation that future Pixel devices may not meet the requirements to run GrapheneOS (https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices ) and may not support using another OS. We've been in talks with a couple OEMs about making devices and what it would cost. 1:02 AM · Jun 13, 2025

Goodbye from a Linux community volunteer
Honestly must be incredibly stressful managing a project like the Linux kernel. Governments constantly wanting changes made for their own purposes, companies leeching off the work of volunteers, neck beards losing their minds over some change they don't like.
I don't envy them at all. This sort of change was inevitability going to piss people off - it could have been handled better but I think it was going to be lose/lose no matter which way it was done.

Retailer denies memory replacement due to 4x increase in DDR5 pricing, says price increase would equate to an 'upgrade' for the customer — Australian retailer refuses to replace faulty Corsair kit
Immediately knew this was going to be Umart - they're a bunch of cunts that treat their customers like trash.
The Australian Consumer Law states that the customer may choose a refund or replacement. This guy can raise it with ACCC and they'll take then to court.

BoM asked to explain ‘what happened here’ after cost of website redesign revealed to be $96.5m
Accenture... There's your answer. Absolute scumbag company. KPMG, DXC.. All those massive companies run huge con jobs on any of those Government contracts. Wouldnt be surprised if they claimed they had 20 people working on it, but it was only 2 full timers.

The customer can choose a refund or replacement - its not up to the retailer. A refund would be of the original purchase price, so a replacement is a no brainer.
