I'm not even a VR guy and I'm kinda interested.

Unboxing videos of the Steam Frame have been leaked, giving us a closer look at the long-awaited VR headset

Unboxing videos for the Steam Frame, Valve's forthcoming wireless VR headset, have been leaked online. The footage, originally posted by an X account called Steam Hardware Updates, shows the headset's unboxing, setup, and use. The leak occurred after an update to the ARM Steam Client, which contained the videos. Valve quickly removed the videos from their platform, but they were later reposted on X. The leaked videos demonstrate the headset's comfortable design, with a large cushioned rear-plate and a focus adjustment wheel.

The headset comes with two wireless controllers, a USB dongle, a cable, and an instruction manual. The videos also highlight the process of pairing the controllers and linking the Steam Frame with the Steam mobile app. While leaks like these are typically taken with a grain of salt, these particular videos seem to capture the final product.

Valve has not officially announced a release date, but the timing of the leaks suggests it may arrive in the second half of 2026. The hype surrounding the Steam Frame is growing, even among a VR skeptic like the author.

Money as a data type

Most guides open with 0.1 + 0.2 === 0.30000000000000004 and conclude "don't use floats for money." True, and not very useful.

  • Money is a combination of number, currency, scale, and rounding policy
  • Floats for money can lose precision and cause unexpected results
  • Storing minor units as integer values in BigInt ensures exactness
