  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.

  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?

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?

  Is there any source I can read to find out more about this?

  […] after confirming the database contains images of Dutch citizens.

  How could they confirm this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMD Frame Generation On The Steam Deck Is Here With FSR 3.1⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨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?
