Carl-Edwin Michel observe une série de mouvements qui annoncent une transformation profonde du jeu vidéo. Le retour de la Steam Machine, combiné à l'essor des consoles PC portables comme la Rogue Xbox Ally X, confirme que l'écosystème PC devient le moteur de l'industrie. Valve vise désormais le terrain des consoles avec une machine simple, flexible et appuyée sur l'immense catalogue Steam, ce qui pourrait fragiliser la stratégie Xbox. Les frontières entre PC et console s'effacent, accélérées par SteamOS, le Game Pass et l'arrivée des jeux PlayStation sur PC. L'avenir du jeu vidéo s'oriente vers un modèle où l'appareil importe moins que l'écosystème, et où jouer partout, sur n'importe quel format, devient la norme.

La Steam Machine no tendrá subsidio. Puede costar 700 a 900 dólares. Es un PC para tu televisor, pequeño y silenciosoValve confirma Steam Machine sin subsidio y anticipa precio alto comparado con consolas actuales del mercado Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Valve es una empresa estadounidense conocida por crear Steam, una plataforma digital donde millones de personas compran y juegan videojuegos en computadores. Steam funciona como una tienda y también como una biblioteca personal: guardas tus juegos, los instalas donde quieras y se actualizan solos. Ahora, Valve prepara la Steam Machine, un pequeño computador para el televisor que funciona con su sistema SteamOS y que promete una experiencia directa desde el sofá. Todo sonaba a rival directo de consolas como PlayStation o Xbox, pero ahora sabemos que el precio va a ser más alto de lo que muchos esperaban. Y aquí nace la pregunta que nos va a acompañar todo el episodio: ¿hasta qué punto un dispositivo tan caro termina compitiendo con las series y películas que hoy vemos para pasar el tiempo? Si quieres apoyar este proyecto independiente y recibir beneficios especiales, puedes hacerlo aquí:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support Valve mostró la Steam Machine como un cubo compacto de unos 15 centímetros de alto, ancho y fondo. Es del tamaño de una pequeña caja de regalo, pero dentro lleva un procesador AMD Zen 4 de seis núcleos y doce hilos capaz de llegar a 4,8 GHz, además de una tarjeta gráfica AMD RDNA 3 con 28 unidades de cómputo. Todo está optimizado para funcionar con poco ruido y para integrarse con un televisor con apenas pulsar un botón en el control. SteamOS, el sistema operativo basado en Linux creado por Valve, se enfoca en una experiencia de sofá: encender, elegir juego y jugar. Nada más. La idea es que este PC compacto tenga funciones que un computador armado en casa no ofrece fácilmente, como encendido desde el control, Bluetooth preparado para cuatro mandos y una salida DisplayPort que permite llegar a 4K a 240 Hz. Viene con ranura microSD para mover juegos entre Steam Machine, Steam Deck y Steam Frame como si fueran tarjetas intercambiables.Aquí viene el giro: el precio puede estar entre 700 y 900 dólares, según medios especializados. Es un valor alto para algo que se ve como una consola, aunque sea un PC compacto. La razón es clara: Valve no planea vender este equipo con pérdidas. Las consolas suelen tener precio bajo porque recuperan dinero con las ventas de juegos y suscripciones, pero en PC eso no funciona igual, porque los jugadores tienen libertad de comprar donde prefieran.Los ingenieros explicaron que la Steam Machine va a costar lo mismo que un PC armado con rendimiento parecido. Esto coloca el dispositivo en una zona extraña: más costoso que una consola, pero menos personalizable que un PC grande. Además, el mercado de memorias RAM y almacenamiento está subiendo, lo cual afecta el precio final. Este detalle preocupa a quienes deseaban un equipo que reemplazara su consola sin invertir tanto dinero.Un exejecutivo de Xbox sugirió públicamente que Valve debería dejar que terceros fabriquen sus propias Steam Machines con SteamOS en diferentes configuraciones para ofrecer opciones más baratas. Valve aclaró que eso ya es posible y equipos como el Lenovo Legion Go S lo demuestran. Aun así, pocos fabricantes toman ese camino porque implica invertir en diseño, soporte y actualizaciones constantes.Valve defiende que el valor de la Steam Machine está en la experiencia: silencio, tamaño pequeño, encendido desde el control, compatibilidad con miles de juegos de Steam y la posibilidad de mover tarjetas microSD con juegos entre varios dispositivos. Todo eso apunta a una consola-PC pensada para personas que quieren comodidad sin lidiar con cables ni torres grandes. El detalle es que la comodidad tiene un costo alto, y ahí está el debate.El equipo llega con dos opciones de almacenamiento: 512 GB o 2 TB en formato NVMe, ambas compatibles con microSD de alta velocidad. Usa Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 y un conjunto de antenas diseñadas para conexiones estables con varios controles. Cuenta con DisplayPort 1.4 y HDMI 2.0, suficientes para 4K fluido. Todo en un cuerpo de 2,6 kg, más liviano que muchas consolas actuales.Valve apuesta por una Steam Machine sin subsidio y con precio de PC compacto. Es pequeña, silenciosa y pensada para jugar desde el sofá con comodidad. El costo puede sorprender, pero también puede abrir un espacio nuevo entre consola y PC. ¿Tú pagarías 800 dólares?Sigue el pódcast en Flash Diario para más historias cada día.

A living room PC that wants to be your next console, a cloned dog that raises bigger questions than it answers, and a museum heist made possible by the world's laziest password. That's the lineup we tackle as we break down the most head-scratching, revealing tech stories of the week with equal parts clarity and humor.We start with Valve's Steam machine: a sleek, SteamOS-powered box aiming for 4K/60 on your TV. We unpack the real-world hurdles—8GB VRAM limits, upgrade ambiguity, and the make-or-break pricing line—while noting the window of opportunity as Sony stays quiet on PS6 and Microsoft doubles down on cloud and subscriptions. If Valve can balance performance, cost, and openness, they might just rewrite the console conversation.From there, the show gets wonderfully weird—and instructive. Tom Brady's reported dog clone spotlights the gap between genetics and identity. A Russian humanoid robot faceplants onstage, underscoring how hard dynamic stabilization really is. A Florida homeowner learns her address has been hijacked by a fake garage-door business, the kind of “legitimacy theater” scam that thrives on stolen photos and Google listings. And a payroll glitch sends $87,000 to a factory worker who spends first and argues later, setting up a courtroom lesson in what “salary” really means.We also get practical: holiday travel phishing is spiking, with fake Booking, Expedia, and Airbnb pages skimming cards in seconds. We share simple, effective defenses: go direct to official apps, inspect URLs, and enable card alerts. Then we pour Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B520 and compare notes—rich chocolate, caramel, and spice at a hefty 127.2 proof—while reflecting on why the Nintendo Wii's motion-first design still matters. To top it off, Kia's gas-scented EV air freshener proves sensory nostalgia can be a clever bridge to cleaner tech.The jaw-dropper comes from Paris: a Louvre security failure reportedly tied to a camera password you could guess in two tries. It's a blunt reminder that protecting treasures requires basic cyber hygiene: strong unique credentials, MFA, segmentation, and monitoring. Whether you're guarding crown jewels or your photo library, the fundamentals are non-negotiable.Enjoy the ride, share a laugh, and leave with takeaways you can use—from buying choices to security habits. If you're into smart tech talk without the jargon, hit follow, share with a friend, and drop us a review with your hot take: would you buy Valve's Steam machine for your living room?Support the show

Wir haben Steam Deck, Steam Machine mit Steam Controller, aber am interessantesten aus technischer Sicht dürfte Steam Frame sein, Valves neue VR-Brille. Anders als Valve Index, die zwingend einen PC als Zuspielgerät benötigt, ist Steam Frame auch ein Standalone-Gerät: Mit Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16GB LPDDR5X, 256GB oder 1TB interner Speicher, erweiterbar per Micro-SD-Karte, Pancake-Linsen und 2160 Pixeln pro Auge zieht die Steam Frame mit der Konkurrenz Meta Quest 3 einerseits gleich oder übertrifft sie sogar. Das Mehr an Performance ist auch nötig, denn wie bei allen Steam-Geräten läuft die Steam Frame mit SteamOS, hier sogar auf ARM64. Valve verspricht, dass viele Spiele direkt auf der Brille laufen sollen, dazu müssen sie nicht nur durch Proton als Übersetzungsschicht von Windows auf Linux, sondern x86-Befehle müssen auch noch per FEX für den Snapdragon emuliert werden.. Primär soll die Frame daher von einem geeigneten Gerät per Streaming bespielt werden, und damit das reibungslos und latenzarm funktioniert, haben sich die Engineers bei Valve einiges einfallen lassen: ein dedizierter Streaming-Stick mit Wifi 6E wird mitgeliefert, und mit Foveated Streaming haben sie eine innovative Methode entwickelt, Bitrate zu sparen bzw. primär dort einzusetzen, wo das Auge fokusiert.

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon La prima volta le Steam Machine hanno floppato perché costavano troppo per essere console ed erano troppo poco customizzabili per essere PC. Valve per di più se ne era tenuta fuori, lasciando agli altri produttori hardware la palla e mettendo a disposizione sostanzialmente solo uno SteamOS che non era lo SteamOS di oggi, dove grazie a Proton puoi giocare tutti i giochini del catalogo Steam (e oltre) senza sbattimenti. Poi è successa Steam Deck, che avrà venduto “pochino” rispetto ad una console tradizionale (si parla di 10 milioni di pezzi), ma a) è tutta vendita diretta e b) i dev ci hanno sballato e si fanno le corse per ottimizzarci i giochini apposta per. In questo scenario Steam Machine può fottere PS5? Dipende da un po' di cose. Ne abbiamo elucubrato per un'oretta.

The console wars are back on. This week, Nilay Patel sits down with Jake Kastrenakes, Sean Hollister, and special guest Joanna Stern, senior columnist at The Wall Street Journal, to talk about Valve's return to the living room gaming race with the Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame VR headset. Then, Joanna discusses her time putting the Neo robot to the test and seeing whether it's capable of loading a dishwasher. Finally, it's time for the Lightning Round, where the crew is talking the YouTube/Disney spat, Apple's new mini apps, and letting Waymo speed down the highway.

Valve will es noch einmal wissen: Nach zehn Jahren Pause erscheint wieder eine Steam Machine. Die stationäre 5-Liter-Konsole setzt wie das Steam Deck auf SteamOS und erscheint auf Basis von AMD-Hardware Anfang 2026. Der Preis? Noch unbekannt. Fabian und Jan diskutieren den neuen Anlauf, der nicht mehr daran kranken wird, dass nur native Linux-Spiele auf der Konsole laufen, loten deren Marktchancen aus und spekulieren über den Preis. Dabei kann ein Blick auf die "DYI Steam Machine 2.0", wie sie Max zusammengesetzt hat, nicht schaden. Danach kommt das geplante Thema dieser Woche: Benchmarks zu Anno 117: Pax Romana. Und die sprechen eine deutlich Sprache: Es sieht gut aus, optisch und technisch. In Bezug auf die CPU-Anforderungen sogar richtig gut. Den neuen Ryzen 5 7500X3D braucht es für Anno 117 definitiv nicht - aber hat es diese CPU überhaupt gebraucht? Die Antwort der beiden fällt eindeutig aus. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Thank you to Lenovo for sending over the Legion Go S! The Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS is finally here — and it might just be the Steam Deck 1.5 we've been waiting for. After the underwhelming Windows version earlier this year, Lenovo swapped in the powerful AMD Z1 Extreme APU and partnered with Valve to ship SteamOS out of the box. The result? A handheld that's faster, smoother, and more user-friendly in every way.In this review, I'll cover:✅ SteamOS vs Windows experience on handhelds✅ Specs & performance (Z1 Extreme, 32GB LPDDR5X, 120Hz FreeSync display)✅ Design & build (Nebula Nocturne finish, Steam button, dual USB-C ports)✅ Display comparison vs Steam Deck (8” 1200p vs 800p OLED)✅ Battery life real-world tests (90 min at full TDP, up to 6h light use)✅ Comfort & ergonomics — bigger screen, bigger weight✅ Pros & cons compared to the Steam Deck and ROG Ally XIf you've been waiting for a SteamOS handheld alternative to the Deck, this might be the one to grab. But with bigger power also comes tradeoffs — heavier weight, shorter battery, and limited non-Steam libraries unless you tinker.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 – Intro0:40 – Hardware & Specs1:30 – Design & Build2:30 – SteamOS Experience3:45 – Display & Comfort5:00 – Performance6:15 – Battery Life7:10 – Inputs & Touchpad7:40 – Final Verdict
