This post reminded me that I have a Steam Link. Somewhere.

Don’t even need the hardware anymore. The Android app is really good on its own. I can even play games while not on my own home network with minimal lag so long as I am on 5G or wifi. I use it to play a few rounds of Civilization when waiting at the doctor.

I wish I had one of these 😩

I used to run the service through the app on my Samsung TV and it ran mostly ok before Samsung pulled the plug on it last year.

I tried setting up a second PC to run it through but I get awful frame loss even on a wired connection, and even in the Steam menus!

I bought one during the clearance sale for the price of shipping, assuming that it would be abandoned but maybe still useful as a low-power linux server. I guess I ought to set it up and take advantage of it.

Thanks, Valve, for not letting these things become instant e-waste.

I wish they'd still sell those as hardware units. Same with the Steam controller.

The hardware that became an app, good thing it has updates yet.

I have one of these that I never use. Good to know they’re still getting updates. I do have a potential application for mine in the near future.
