How could Valve do this to us?
"What made you upgrade to the OLED?"
"Because I couldn't smell it anymore."
"What?"

Why smell good if not meant for smelling?
DarkThoughts@kbin.social 11 months ago
Why the fuck is this even an article. Fucking hell.

Slow new eek I guess

In the age of clickfarming every week is a slow news week.

I thought I knew a thing or two about cancerous online news sites, but IGN has exceeded all the expectations. Any attempt to scroll down activates a redirect to the localized czech version of the site. Not only is there no dark mode, they are trying to pass the authorsip of the translation to the real human, despite the article being clearly translated by a machine.

Heh, same happened to me. In the end I cancelled loading while it wasn’t fully loaded and that helped.
I guess the guy they credited with the translation used AI without them knowing.

What else am I supposed to do with it? Play games? Ridiculous!
sdcSpade@kbin.social 11 months ago
It's a Steam Deck, not a Game Deck!
anteaters@feddit.de 11 months ago
Sniffing the fumes has become part of playing games on the deck.

They just don’t want us to be happy.
KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sniff, sniff…MMmmmmhh, smells like Arch!

Come on, baby! Don’t hold out on me! I need those Steam deck exhaust fumes! I’ll suck your dick!

“fumes” you mean the warm air?
GBU_28@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Heated components could absolutely be producing fumes
amelore@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
You wouldn’t smell it if it was pure air. It’s VOCs from the inks, plastics, solder flux, thermal paste, etc

Consume the Fumes
Subtlysubtle@sffa.community 11 months ago
I wonder if it’s producing some ozone.
rotopenguin@infosec.pub 11 months ago
I don’t think there’s anything there capable of making ozone. My guess is it’s the heat-sink compound outgassing?
Static_Rocket@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well, I needed to remind myself, but it seems to be a mix of thermal pad oil and warm plastic…

“Pleads.”

It is occasionally amusing to go to Wikipedia’s manual of style “words to watch” page:
Then look at some news headlines and see how many of them violate the rules on that page. Headlines are shit.
Telorand@reddthat.com 11 months ago
To be fair, that’s about as “pleading” as you’ll get from a legal team trying to cover Valve’s ass.
Questy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Either way, Gaben’s not my dad (unfortunately), so I’ll do what I want! Sniiiiiffff
