Look, I happen to know what this is but I really hate posts that just assume everyone knows what they're talking about.

So for everyone else: this is the newly announced Steam Machine, a gaming PC/console that will run SteamOS (Linux) (or any other OS of your choice) and overall looks freaking awesome.

What’s the setting? Something we should recognize?

[–] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I believe that have swapped the Steam Machine in for the Kaaba at Mecca- the Islam holy site. The Kaaba is already a big black cube, so it works well.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

For the record it's not just a cube, it has an inside. With furniture and stuff. But looks like that on outside.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 12 points 1 week ago

I didn’t know the Steam machine came with furniture, that’s cool!

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I just want to say that while it does run SteamOS (arch, btw) by default, Valve has explicitly said that you can run whatever OS you want and they don't care. Which is even cooler IMO.

Though I would probably run SteamOS.

Is that semi circle direct access for rich scum?

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 week ago

yeah, the golden circle, just like on Taylor Swift concerts;-)

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That was my instant take, yes. It wasn't there before. But now they got a needle's eye for all the camels to pass through.

Or it's an information kiosk! "Ask us anything about the Cube! We also guess your weight for a fee!"

[–] Wappen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I checked and apparently it was there before, there's actually an interesting story behind it:

https://www.quora.com/Why-are-all-sides-of-the-Kaaba-different-sizes-Is-there-any-reason-given-in-the-Hadith-It-seems-to-an-outsider-anyway-please-educate-me-to-be-haphazardly-built-with-no-real-plan

So, the first time it was built (by Ibrahim or Abraham) it was much more rectangular. You see the small white wall at its side? That part was included in the Kaabah. Also it was about half as tall as it is now and the door was lower to the ground (like real doors) .

Then after many centuries, there was a flood (since Makkah is a valley). In the same time frame, there was a fire. Both of these and its age caused the structure of the Kaabah to be worn out. So, the people of Makkah, the Quraish tribe, decided to rebuild the foundations.

At this time, coincidentally, there was a shipwreck of a vessel at the nearby port city of Jeddah carrying a lot of building materials and engineers to build a church in Yemen. So, all the materials was being sold to the highest bidder and the engineers were willing to work (to get enough money to go back presumably).

The Quraish pooled their money and bought all the things they could collectively afford. They realized that there wasn’t enough material to cover all of the old foundation. So, they decided to make the design shorter and build a small wall to mark the rest of it in hopes that in the future they could build the rest of it when they got enough money and materials. They also built the door higher up perhaps to prevent floodwater from reaching it or to restrict access to the inside.

That is fascinating, and thank you! I will read the sources, and then come back here and berate you if they are not up to code! <3

I'm kinda interested on the different frontplates and skins people will give their GabeCubes. I saw that valve had a e-ink front panel for development, though, they wouldn't sell it.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Someone is going to make a skin for it that is just GabeN, and honestly I would do that too because it’s funny
