The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributors Limited. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The gravity driven “falling ball” drive was ‘engineered’ by Douglas L. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. The world’s first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. Not 2 years later or something either, just a few days later, responding to the requests they're taking directly from the community and implementing them just like that.There are plaques on each side of the base of the clock. Now this update, they upped to 30 seconds. Prior to the update, we were changing i,1e4 to i,2e4 on the JS file which seemed to extend the duration to about 30 seconds. "The old Valve Half-Life 2 intro is about 16 seconds long. ![]() "What kind of lengths were people using for these? The 10s limit is a safety net that could be extended if we have a good reason for it." "Do Custom boots work over 10s? Prior to that, we were modifying the JS file. I actually saw the Valve employee in the steam discussion who was answering questions on the previous update that added the boot video override folder, and responding to folks asking for a longer maximum length. ![]() ![]() How evil?Īnd it's just amazing me how in a space about Linux, where I might expect people to be happy at more freedom to tinker being enabled, everyone's totally dissing this move of Valve to let people do what they want to do. Now Valve have made it so people substituting their own boot splash videos do not have to stick to a strict 10-second limit for the substitute video they drop in. OK, in case you're unaware, in the last few days there have been several articles on GoL about how users figured out ways to substitute their own boot splash videos for the official one, how Valve responded by making this easier to do, how someone then made a script to make it still easier. Is there a reason Valve should be telling them, "No, thou shalt have no videos longer than 10 seconds"? So I don't see what the problem is you might have no desire for it, but plenty of people seem to want to fiddle with this. The change thing says "max length" was increased. Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's an option. Quoting: FisterfrankAm I missing something or are we going backwards? Hasn’t the point & focus been to speed up load & boot times? Not make it 3 times longer.I will repeat: Now there's even an easy to use app to download and install them. I've no doubt many will appreciate the max length change to boot animations, considering there's so many great videos being showcased. Fixed an issue with editing command settings from inside the virtual menu screen.Fixed invoking the On-Screen-Keyboard while already in a fullscreen keyboard input scenario causing bad behavior.Fixed an issue on the Lock screen where you'd have to dismiss the On-Screen Keyboard manually if you slept the device while it was up.Added controller-specific glyphs on the Lock screen.Increase boot animation max length from 10 seconds to 30 seconds.Fixed an issue where Steam group chats with long names or descriptions could cause break the layout of the chat screen.Notifications for Game Invites in the Quick Access Menu now have an option in the footer to accept them without having to navigate to the chat window.The Quick Access Menu will now open to the notifications tab when you have new friend chat messages, game invites, or voice chat invites.This update is available in the Beta and Preview channels: you can opt into this in Settings > System > Steam Update Channel. Fresh out the oven, Valve has put up a new Steam Deck Client Beta that tweaks how some notifications are accessed. ![]()
