Being used to modern journalism I was not expecting even a link to schematics, but instead I was given list of all required components and even re-upload of a video showing how to assemble it. What a treasure this website is

Similar for the Mac Mini:

I don't know much about electronic components. This is a diy kit with a esp32 board in it. Could you reflash with valve firmware and have it just work? Or would different aspect ratio of screen mean a slight change to a config or full reworking?

Do you guys think they will also open-source half-life 3 once it's released?

Sweet. Now I just need a foundry in my garage.

Really cool of valve to do this and include a full tutorial.

Just about any other company would keep it closed and sell the accessory with proprietary software; then if that was not commercially viable, would just not release anything at all.

Too bad that this runs using a battery, would have been nice if the Steam Machine included some pogo pins I/O for that kind of thing.

IDGAF if Newell is a Epstein-class helo-pad yacht billionaire. Valve's success is built on the recognition that customers are the source of success, rather than a resource to be extracted. Valve is bringing PC citizenship to console subjects. Just in time for the 4th of July.

I know what I'd like to see:

That's cool that they host their own repository. Maintaining their distance from Microsoft I guess haha.

May as well open it - I doubt the SM will be doing massive sales at current prices, so even fewer would have sprung for this add-on. Opening it up is at least good PR/marketing.

Why does the one on the picture look backlit?

Most of the screens you see on modern cases don't have firmware for Linux. So good to see a modern one that does. Would make sense for this to be used on any of the Linux gaming boxes that are around.

They're now calling it the "Inkterface" and there's a good few things you'll need to make it including:

• 1 x Adafruit ESP32 Feather with 2MB PSRAM.
• 1 x Adafruit eInk Breakout Friend.
• 1 x Adafruit 5.83" Monochrome eInk Panel.
• 13 x M2.5 x 5mm Pan Head Machine Screws.
• 4 x 1/4" x 1/4" x 3/16" Stepped Magnet SB443-OUT.

Funny how these days it's so completely assumed every maker has a 3D printer that it doesn't get mentioned, no more than instructions would mention anything as trivial as needing a screwdriver.

Neat.

Awesome, wish more companies released designs like this

Way better than a kindle.

Hell yeah!
