Yeah, game servers is about the only thing I've come up with for a way to take any real advantage of the perk.

Unlimited servers. I work for a VPS provider and on my first day my boss setup my account with $10k of credit and showed me how to add more in the admin panel "whenever [I] need it". As long as I'm only using things with plenty of excess capacity and don't cause problems, I can spin up whatever I want.
Sadly, I've already got a rack of hardware at home, so all I've done so far is spin up a server with 96GB of ram and put a 2-page static website on it, lol.
Not federating with meta was a choice that could be made by the admins, just changing a setting in the instance. Slop can be posted to any instance by anyone with an account. If an admin decided to sign an anti-AI pact there's no way they could realistically abide / enforce it.
I currently work 8:00 to 16:00 and no one has complained about my working hours yet. But, I'm a software dev working remote with coworkers in several different timezones, so the exact time I start and end my day really doesn't matter.
At a previous job I worked 9:00 - 15:00 for several months when I was depressed and no one complained about that either. 🤷
That's kinda, at least historically, been Nintendo's whole thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpei_Yokoi#Design_philosophy
Is this AI?
Probably, the slices in the second chart aren't quite equal sizes, but in such a subtle way that it's clearly not trying to communicate anything.
I would imagine it's just some sort of really basic shim driver to get a communication channel between the controller and steam, then from there everything just goes through steam input.
That's the kind of choice you make when you need to just get 'it' working. IIRC when the deck, its input depended (more?) on the steam client too. I'd imagine that they'll finish the slow part of the process eventually to make the controller work more generally too.
The store page said 3-5 business days for the early orders and 6-10 for the later orders.
FWIW, I was getting the same checkout error as everyone else for half an hour while trying to buy with steam wallet credit.
I got one and will try to post to this community with my thoughts after I receive it.
The dpad is also my biggest worry with it.
What did you do to upgrade your deck dpad? I would love to do that to mine too if it works well and isn't too loud.
Ooh, interesting. I've never tried playing that.
