As for the network speeds, outdated but also irrelevant these days. The lowest common denominator is already more than good enough for multiplayer.
Mayby they want it for other statistics? How long it will take for people to download those new terabyte games with several gigabytes of updates weekly?
I'm not sure if allowing people to activate it would mess with their numbers or not. But if it wouldn't I don't see an issue with allowing people to activate it once a year on their own.
You would actually be surprised to know that even in the US there are many who can't get anything but dial up because high speed internet companies don't want to do their jobs and put 10s of thousands of dollars worth of equipment out in the middle of no where to service 1 to 5 people over a 10 or so mile area.
You should be thankful you have the option of an upgrade, many people don't have any choice over what they get, and when that happens, they get stuck with expensive, super crappy "high speed" internet that doesn't even break 1 megabit download and their upload is almost not even worth it. And in some cases this is in the middle of a city like New York. I'd link to a recent video by a guy on you tube but there is swearing in it. Search for Louis Rossmann, and look for one of his latest posts where he rants about his crappy internet in the middle of New York.
Actually Kbps is correct. This is usually why I spell things out to people though cause its less confusing to people, many who don't follow tech that much don't see the difference between Kbsp, KBps, mbps, MBps and so on.

Many people look at network speed as how fast you can download, on most if not all high speed sale pages it usually says speed. I use speed for how fast, and bandwidth with how much you can download in a month. I ask people how fast their ping in between servers. That helps keep the confusion down.
Because there are like 100+ different versions and they have to make the cut off somewhere. Also the majority of them are not great for gaming so why bother naming them. And then you start getting into the different version numbers of each one... really its kind of a mess. They should just lump all one kind of linux into one, and maybe make a pull down to see each version number break down.
You're just nit picking now.
Yes it only shows headsets that are connect to the system at the time the survey is done. I don't remember if it does this for controllers too. But its the same for hard drives and everything else. I have 5 hard drives, only 1 is usually connected to my system all the time.
As for VR headsets, I could see if there was some sort of switch that was flipped when you have the hardware and software needed for it installed. Then after say 6 months if you have not plugged it in once since or you uninstall the software then the switch gets turned off.
Maybe even have the hardware survey ask if you have VR headset and game controllers and asks you to plug them in for the survey.
But there is also the issue with what you pointed out, you have 3 different computers, what if someone plugs in the single VR headset for all 3 system and then trigger the survey or plug it in when the survey asks. I guess they could provide a unique serial number for the headsets and if it detects that same headset on more than 1 system it ignores it for those other systems beyond the first one.
Nope, you are wrong. And so are all those links you you gave and it's mindboggling how much such misinformation is spread in the Internet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilo-
quote: "It is used in the International System of Units where it has the unit symbol k, in lower case." Just because you 'muricans like to capitalize everything doesn't make it right.

I didn't ask them to post all. Just instead of top 5 a little bit more. Like 10 for example. Would be much more helpful than this list for Mac:
MacOS 10.14.3 64 bit 24.09% -14.62%
MacOS 10.14.4 64 bit 23.29% +23.29%
MacOS 10.13.6 64 bit 19.36% -0.58%
MacOS 10.12.6 64 bit 7.69% -0.28%
MacOS 10.14.2 64 bit 5.67% -4.03%
MacOS 10.14.0 64 bit 4.93% -1.13%
MacOS 10.11.6 64 bit 4.87% -0.24%
MacOS 10.14.1 64 bit 2.59% -0.99%
MacOS 10.10.5 64 bit 1.95% -0.07%
Other 5.57% -1.33%
Where they actually have 10 (9+Other). I mean, does anybody actually care how many people use MacOS 10.14.2 compared to 10.14.1? It's like entirely and utterly pointless information (as most probably you can't even downgrade there but just upgrade), compared to different linux distributions to see which ones are more popular and trending.
Also not good. Maybe you sold or gifted your headset and new owner can't fill then HW survey correctly because it's attached to your old steam? Where it's already overwritten by your new Valve Index maybe?
Anyway I use same steam account in all of those 3 computers, so having the option to set one(or several) VR headset per account would solve the problem. If the same serial headset is associated with the new account, it's removed from previous one...
Same thing with controllers. They are not glued to one computer.
In entirely differnet topic (or account vs computers topic) - I do not play at all in all 3 of them, just 2 (Windows and Manjaro). In one old laptop I just have it installed to buy games and read discussions etc. So survey popping up in this one would be entirely wasted, because in all reality I would even decline to participate there because it would not reflect the reality of my "gaming PC" status.
From the link you provided:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JEDEC_memory_standards
When dealing with computers, the standards dictate a capital K, not a lower case one.
This has become common practice in IT and with computer when writing in regards to data, such as internet speeds, computer RAM, computer storage, ect.
No, it's not "common practice in IT" - rather a niche usage only for JEDEC and memory. And we're not talking about any memory standards and size here, but network bandwidth. Let's stick to this. I link once more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units#Kilobit_per_second
We don't even use the "base 2 exponentiation" here, but kilobit used for data rate measurement is 1000 bits = 125 bytes, not some 1024 bits.
read those:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput
Is there a difference between Kbps and KBps?
Hint there is an 8-fold difference between those. Capitalisation is important in IT measurements.
With over 20+ year experience myself, not to mention the combined 300+ years experience of those I work with and those I know who work in IT, yes, it is common practice to use a capital K.
That is far more then a "niche" usage. No one any one us have know has ever used a lowercase K. One reason being it looks out of place when next to the uppercase M and G.
So, again, it is common practice in IT to use an uppercase K over a lowercase k.
His argument is that it should be kbps and kBps, with a lowercase k. Nothing to do with the B being upper or lowercase.
Manual updates aren't a great idea. When you're gathering statistics, if you pick your sample at random from the population then it gives you an unbiased estimate of the population, and will tend towards being perfectly accurate as the sample size increases. Unless they've changed methodology, Steam does the random sampling by splitting the user-base into 12ths at random, and asking each 12th to do the survey on a particular month, so you should get asked once a year.
If you let people self-select by manually updating, your sample is no longer random, and will produce results which are biased in some way. It's bad enough for the statistics that you have to say yes to your information being included in the survey (although that is obviously necessary for privacy reasons), never mind manually submitting to the survey.
As regards the k/K debate; to throw a spanner into the works, what we should be using to denote a unit which has 1024 bits is 1 Kibit (kibibit) and 1024 bytes is 1 KiB (kibibyte). I suppose alternatively, we could use shannons instead of bits (as 1 bit = 1 Sh) or perhaps nats, where 1 nat is approximately 1.44 bits. I'm downloading at 5.545*10^5 nats/s, we might say.
Not in my 35+ years of IT experience (I don't even bother including here "additional other people to prove my point and try to make myself more right this way"). I have NEVER used uppercase K over a lowercase k and never seen anyone around here use it either. Must be then regional thing.
However I quite often run into amateur articles in the interwebs that use K over k, written by journalist, not by IT people.
