If there’s one thing you can count on with technology of any kind, it’s that something will eventually break on you. And if you’re an early adopter of new hardware, like Valve’s new Steam Machine, it looks like that rule still applies.

As reported on the Steam Machine subreddit, Reddit user “me_hill” says their new device started showing what the “Red Light of Death.” Some have compared it to the Xbox 360’s infamous Red Ring of Death, but this isn’t really a line. It’s the Steam Machine’s front light bar lighting up red, which is a lot more specific and, honestly, a lot more fitting. It also looks a bit like KITT from Knight Rider, which makes it hard not to notice.
