Comment on Here's how I fixed my Steam Deck when it stopped turning on.

  If they have to suffer, you have to suffer. It’s the golden rule or something.

    I don’t want anyone to suffer I just didn’t watch the video. Thanks for taking the hit, that’s a true service.

      God forbid people “suffer” by watching a completely voluntary video of someone trying to help others. Look, I didn’t watch the video, but no matter how long it was it’s got supposedly helpful information in it and we should be thankful someone’s taking the time to post at all.

      It’s not their job to put it in a format you like, just move on and don’t be an entitled ass about it. I’m sure your parents taught you if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

    Huh, is that a new shortcut, or did they get confused about the UEFI reset shortcut:

    Hold down Volume Down+Power+⋯ (“Three Dots” button under the right touchpad) to reset the UEFI settings to their defaults (keep the two buttons other than Power held after the first blink of the LED: the LED will blink during the operation and stop once done, then release the buttons).

    I’ve never heard of volume up+… as a functional shortcut before.

      In the video he has no idea what combination of buttons actually worked. I feel dumber for watching the video.

        He got it in the end though. I quoted the portion thay worked.

      It worked for him. 🤷‍♂️

        He said it was the quick access button (QAM), which is the “. . .” button, not the select button. You can also see him pressing it in the video with his right thumb.

  I didn’t watch it, I don’t have time for that. These type of YouTube video fucking infuriate me, like unless you need to visually demonstrate something just write it out. And even then you could add pictures. It’s just grubby time wasting and grasping for ad revenue.

    Bruh, its a nine minute video of amateur troubleshooting done IRT. I had something happen to my deck recently that required a similar amount of time ignorant troubleshooting (although I’ve never seen a green light on my deck).

    If it helps someone, then what’s the harm in uploading it for others?

      So you say you took a similar amount of time troubleshooting. Can you tell me why you think sharing knowledge about fixing something should require someone else to spend exactly the same amount of time watching you monologue about it?

      Another user posted the critical part what the issue was and how it got fixed in 3 sentences! Making a 9 minute video out of it is just bizzare. If it really has to be a video you could do this in a minute or less and get straight to the point.

        I’ll start doing this whenever I see a solution to something.

        “Oh no, my toilet is clogged. The first thing I’ll do is watch it and start thinking about what I should do. Flush again? No, that might make it overflow.

        …”

        20 minutes later: “I finally found the solution! I just need to use my toilet plunger.”

        🤦

        Cause I don’t remember.

        I spent a few minutes holding random buttons that included the power/sleep button.

        This seems like something really odd to argue against posting.

      I mean aside from it being a money grab and a waste of time, if he really wanted to help others why not write the solution in the details of the video? Because he doesn’t care about helping people, he wants the views, and that kinda sums up most of the problems with the internet today

        money grab

        Homie, I ain’t trying to cause an argument. Just trying to bring realism into this.

        But there was no ads even the client lemmy uses. How did they profit off this video that doesn’t even reach the level yt requires for monetization?

  Honestly its common to get asked for summary on lemmy. Even for relatively short ones and on comms where the topic is semi whimsical.

  I do agree that for many things a written form would be better.

    But it doesn’t make money with consumable diarrhea content. /s
