  “We understand that it may be a meme, but please refrain from this behavior for the safety of your health.”

  “Pleads.”

    It is occasionally amusing to go to Wikipedia’s manual of style “words to watch” page:

    This page in a nutshell: Be cautious with expressions that may introduce bias, lack precision, or include offensive terms. Use clear, direct language. Let facts alone do the talking.

    Then look at some news headlines and see how many of them violate the rules on that page. Headlines are shit.

    To be fair, that’s about as “pleading” as you’ll get from a legal team trying to cover Valve’s ass.

  "What made you upgrade to the OLED?"

  "Because I couldn't smell it anymore."

  "What?"

  Why smell good if not meant for smelling?

  Why the fuck is this even an article. Fucking hell.

      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!

    It's a Steam Deck, not a Game Deck!

  • anteaters@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Sniffing the fumes has become part of playing games on the deck.

  They just don’t want us to be happy.

  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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Heated components could absolutely be producing fumes

    source
  • amelore@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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

  I wonder if it’s producing some ozone.

  source

  • rotopenguin@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I don’t think there’s anything there capable of making ozone. My guess is it’s the heat-sink compound outgassing?

      Well, I needed to remind myself, but it seems to be a mix of thermal pad oil and warm plastic…
