  I got this email for an entirely different package, it’s not just Steam hardware. Kinda pleased that I’m paranoid enough to give less information than asked. If I’m in the data they pulled, some hackers now know my address, last name, and that I buy parts for shavers.

  Well yes you should check if the specs on the product page say Bluetooth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  HP is all over the place, they do make trash, but their business laptops are usually pretty good.

  Did some more reading, I was probably thinking of broadcast TV signals, which were 25 or 30 fps because one frame is two fields. and I wrongly assumed CRT TVs could only do one thing, but consoles mainly did progressive video.

  Was it? afaik PAL was 50Hz but 25fps, and NTSC was 60Hz at 30fps. Two periods per frame because of interlacing or something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t maintain it, let it die, and made a new one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I temporarily used it as a computer, (mostly just firefox tbh) when my main one was out of order, normally no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam link app on a smart tv should work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you prefer for audio? Earphones, headphones, speakers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know what codec it uses but it works fine with Phonaks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo shuts down Ryujinx⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your country but switch games range 50-70 € and pc games are more like 10-100€ but with ones comparable to Switch games mostly 30-60€. So yes mostly, but they’re not that far off that they would definitely do poorly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they swapped out thumb sticks and fans at some point before OLED? It wasn’t a major thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Pleads With Steam Deck Owners to Stop Inhaling Exhaust Fumes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  You wouldn’t smell it if it was pure air. It’s VOCs from the inks, plastics, solder flux, thermal paste, etc
