Hi,

First, I?d like to thank everyone who did respond for their response.

Now, I?d like to answer the most common questions I saw, as well as a couple I foresee.

1) When will the gift arrive?

It actually should arrive within the next couple of weeks. If you did not receive a package from us by the end of October, please reply and let me know.

2) I changed my address, will I still get it?

Maybe, maybe not. If you don?t get it, let me know and I?ll dig one up for you.

3) Should I have to pay customs on the gift?

As far as I know, no. If you do

Hi,

Zeroth, as your slow neighbor to the south, I want to apologize for the premature sending of the unfinished mail. This message should be complete.

First, I?d like to thank everyone who did respond for their response. I?m sorry I haven?t been able to reply to each of you individually, but, as you can imagine, I?ve received a large number of replies.

Now, I?d like to answer the most common questions I saw, as well as a couple I foresee.

1) When will the gift arrive?

It actually should arrive within the next couple of weeks. If you did not receive a package from us by the end of October, please reply and let me know.

2) I changed my address, will I still get it?

Maybe, maybe not. If you don?t get it, let me know and I?ll dig one up for you. But, again, please wait until the end of October to let me know.

3) Should I have to pay customs on the gift?

As far as I know, no. If you do, please refuse delivery and let me know.

4) What is the gift?

It was meant to be a surprise, so, I?ve added that information down below my signature. If you really want to know just scroll on down. If you already know, no reason to scroll down. If you don?t want to know but would rather be surprised, I?d stop reading now.

Thanks and have a great day! And I apologize for this second interruption.

What does Zeroth mean? It's not my nickname or anything. Is that the same name everybody got?

Ya, I was confused by that too. Any ideas anyone?

And btw everyone, at the VERY bottom of the email it says:

The gift is essentially a laptop bag with custom graphics on it, however it is in the design style of a messenger bag for a gift of a pun-ish nature.

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
