You know what recall will probably never fail to leave out? DRM movies and TV shows probably, e.g. from any of the famous streaming services… Should we bet?
- Comment on [help] Getting my first steam deck tomorrow 1 week ago:
I find KDE connect to be both useful and interesting to use. It’s not really recommendable in and of itself but it makes connecting between your various devices very effective, like file transfer, clipboard sharing, remote control etc.
With regards to casual gaming, I personally don’t have anything to recommend because that’s exactly the kind of game I try to avoid. I like involved games, interesting, with a story, a purpose, requiring thinking and such. But what I can say is that the steam deck is so effective with its sleep functionality that you can very casually play any involved game no matter how much time you have.
It is so easy to be back in the game: I’ve played the witcher 3 a lot (highly recommend it if you have not played it) and it is a very involved game, but I’ve been in and out for even just a few minutes thanks to sleep. It takes one second to be back in the game fighting some enemies and takes a second to pause the game and put the console back to sleep in my backpack. You don’t have to restrict yourself to casual games to benefit from casually playing, with the steam deck.

Yes, became my absolute favorite game :)
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - December 2024 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, even the bundle of the base game together with both dlc is a steal.

The Witcher 3 two DLCs, now that I finished the base game.
- Comment on When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it" 1 month ago:
The way I see it, is because of the controls. You have a much stronger reaction with a mouse than a joystick. Anytime you play with a mouse, the reaction time is expected to be lower because you I dictate where you want to be looking (like in am fps). The mouse acts as a view positioning device. It is not forgiving. A joystick however is a rotation device. It tells how fast you want to be moving around when looking, not where it should be looking. It is much more forgiving because you only dictate the speed of rotation. If you plugged in a mouse in your deck and played it on the deck you would immediately notice the difference I imagine. I think the trackpads do bring some aspects of the mouse to the deck too in that regard.
But yeah, my takeaway is, with a joystick you don’t need that tight of a latency as with a mouse.

Has anyone been following the development of 3.6? What are some highlighted features or bugs being addressed?

it seems AT&T may be interested in looking for alternatives to VMware?
- Comment on YouTuber claims another channel used AI to clone his voice without consent 2 months ago:
I think unless they have demonstrated bad faith in the past, we should still give them the benefit of the doubt that this was an honest mistake though it raises some other concerns as to what the internal process is for green lighting this when they had worked with Jeff in the past?
- Comment on [Discussion] SteamOS 3.6 is nearly here, with Valve focusing on bug fixes before release. What are some bugs you've encountered (on either Stable or Beta) that you're hoping to see fixed? 2 months ago:
Have used my BT headset for almost a year and never had an issue. What are you referring to?
- Comment on Acer’s first handheld gaming PC is the Nitro Blaze 3 months ago:
Looks kind of average to me. Also, I wonder if it would not have made sense to build it on Lunar lake if it was to be announced/released this late?

How could they confirm this?

- Comment on AMD Frame Generation On The Steam Deck Is Here With FSR 3.1 5 months ago:
I’m guessing this technology requires specific implementation into the game? Nonetheless, it’s so great to see these kind of efforts very suitable for battery based laptops and handhelds, they fit perfectly this use case imo.
- Comment on 64GB and 512GB Steam Deck LCD models are 15% off until July 11th, 10 AM PDT 5 months ago:
I’m surprised, if I recall, all but one LCD model were to be phased out in November, or at least that’s what they said when they announced the OLED version. Were the supplies that large?

Why? Do Russians not deserve a good browser?
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox Blocks Add-Ons to Circumvent Russia Censorship 6 months ago:
As Mozilla, you probably don’t have much choice. What’s the alternative? Get yourself banned? How is that better? At least this way, locals can use Firefox despite not having access to those extensions. And people find clever ways to get those extensions anyway, so it’s the lesser evil I guess?
- Comment on Why NASA is betting on a 36-pixel camera 7 months ago:
I was confused so I think this may need to be emphasized, from the article:
The space agency’s newest sky-peeper takes a different approach, however, performing groundbreaking space science with 36 pixels. It’s not a typo—36 pixels, not 36 megapixels.

Can chromium be used at all or are there specific google components required?
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reiterates his tabs-versus-spaces stance with a kernel trap 8 months ago:
In this kind of debate, to people refer to tabs as actually entering the tab character, or to the use of tabs involving immediate replacement with a specified number of spaces?
For instance vscode allows the usage of the tab butting to enter 2 or 4 spaces when pressed, would that be considered tab or spaces?
