I wouldn’t either. Dumb TVs are getting harder and harder to find though.
- Comment on The spam came from inside the house: How a smart TV can choke a Windows PC 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had the same early smart TV for about ten years now. The greatest thing that happened to it was the WiFi dying. I suspect I wouldn’t have it anymore if that weren’t the case.
It’s a 42" Samsung if anyone is curious, and the WiFi just… Stopped working.
- Comment on Steam will stop issuing refunds if you play two hours of a game before launch day 3 weeks ago:
In spite of some of the comments to the contrary here, I really think this is fine. Early access is early access. 2 hours has been the ground truth for a while. It does seem like a loophole, and I’m fine with them filling it.
- Comment on YouTube moves to AV1 by default to the dismay of some Android users 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. This seems a bit quick given the adoption of hardware decoders. I would have thought they would have waited a while longer before actually changing the default.
The benefits are real, though. AV1 is extremely efficient and it looks markedly better than alternatives even at lower bitrates.
- Comment on According to Dexerto Ayaneo next handheld is going to use SteamOS 4 months ago:
Fantastic. One of the weirdest things I’ve heard from people casually interested in Steam Deck is: can I put Windows on it? Things like this at least suggest to those people that, in fact, not everyone using the Deck is wrong when they say the SteamOS/Linux experience is great, after years of work.
Of course the competition is good too!

- Comment on What reviews didn't say about the Steam Deck OLED 5 months ago:
Yeah. I wish they had mentioned it actually. They went to the trouble of mentioning that they improved the battery adhesive situation.
- Comment on What reviews didn't say about the Steam Deck OLED 5 months ago:
Yeah, that’s kind of a major detail for anyone worried about reparability. Surprising choice. Not a deal breaker, but definitely a step in the wrong direction in terms of design (overshadowed by other good choices).
- Comment on I'm sorry little one... 6 months ago:
What I’m hoping is that the screen is a drop in replacement option for the original.
Out of the box, no. But I know some tinkerer is going to figure it out. Will it ever be practical? Probably not. But I’ll enjoy seeing that Frankendeck.
- Comment on The Steam Deck, nay Linux, is crying out for an official GeForce Now app 7 months ago:
As Linux gains in popularity for gaming, there will be endless articles about corporate stuff from the Windows world that Linux users clearly cannot live without. But the fact is, Linux is gaining ground in part because it does not have them. The simplicity of it all, especially on AMD, is light years ahead of the kind of ecosystem Nvidia and others may want to continue to force down consumers’ throats.

No worries – I did wonder if maybe you had it on Early Access and 52 gigs was the difference with the official release.
- Comment on Anyone else? 9 months ago:
Yeah OK, that’s what I thought from the specs. Thanks. Idk where OP’s 54gb comes from then.
- Comment on Anyone else? 9 months ago:
I wish there was a way to find the actual download size. It says 100+ gigs in the system requirements, which actually put me off from it on a metered connection. 54 is much more doable.
