Sometimes when I go into Desktop Mode, X11 doesn’t have any screens. The deck just sits there with a black screen, until I ssh in and kill plasma

It is rare to see a game get this wrong, the last one I saw was a Borderlands. If you look at a game’s Steamdb cloud listing, they list Windows’s save location, and then Mac/Linux saves are expressed as a rewrite rule.

Cloud saves on PS are handled quite simply - if you didn’t pay for your very own PS Plus then go fuck yourself. I have lost dozens of Aloy hours on my brother’s PS4.

Yes. If guns were banned, then people would resort to preparing their meals with some other weapon like a knife.

The existing buttons are made out of a plastic that wears well when rubbing against their contact-points in the case. The plastics are chosen to be compatible, self-lubricating and “not spalling or rubbing eachother to death”.

I doubt that these metalized buttons have been tested for their long-term wear characteristics.

Our system is “capitalism”, not “workerism”. The owners of capital solely decide how the fruits of productivity are split, and wouldn’t you know it they decided that it should all go to themselves.

But at least you are entitled to the sweat of your brow. Until your boss finds a way to extract that, too.

Lightning and USB-C are both equally terrible headphone plugs.

I wouldn’t mind if they replaced TRRS with a better connector. I get that the jack is a large part and it’s difficult to seal against water ingress. The wiper contacts on it are also unreliable, and the plug doesn’t release well when your cord snags.

Multiplexing headphones with my one and only charging port is absolutely the worst possible answer.

(Did i forget to mention that I want it to be an open connector? One that any vendor can make without Apple’s permission?)

Go to Desktop Mode, run Plasma Discover, get the Heroic flatpak, run Heroic, log into GoG there, install games.

Heroic is pretty damn good at doing the rest. It’ll install the Linux or Windows version of your games, it’ll add them to Steam, it’ll run them. Heroic will even give Steam some coverart for your games. (Many are missing the logo, tho. DeckyLoader +SteamGridDB plugin fixes that.)

Kids can’t even read a sundial nowadays, smh

Fun fact: SFC is short for “Super FamiCom”, a tribute to the last piece of home consumer electronics ever made that just worked without having to fuss with it.

And then you dd the iso to a flash stick, boot it, start into the windows installer, and watch it shit itself because MS can’t even make an iso that just fucking works.

Is it the same as “sometimes when I go to Desktop Mode undocked, KDE decides that I have zero screens” and I’m staring at blackness? I have to ssh in and shutdown to fix it.

Not reboot, shutdown. If I reboot, the next time I go into desktop mode I’ll get the same thing. I think there is some ring < 0 or EC shenanigans going on there.

I don’t think you can opt in, the Families beta isn’t on the deck yet.

The main thing that a bad actor would gain is “being kicked off of the steam store”. The bigger threat would be if Gabe figures out which is the bad actor’s main account. Losing all their games would be pretty big blowback for such an attacker.

The problem is that SteamOS doesn’t have a whole lot of boot options besides “start up directly into Game Mode successfully”. If Steam chokes while ingesting any of its config or any metadata in your library, that’s the end of it. You can hold a button to wipe everything (the Playstation solution), or you can figure out how to boot a live-iso and fix “the problem”. Not everybody has the skills to fix stuff in Linux, heck not everybody has the ability to “boot up from a usb stick and have a working keyboard, using only one USB hole”.

The “AI boom” means that Intel is going to take die space from the GPU and give it to an NPU. That’s how you get Windows 11®️ CoPilot™️ cetified.
