  Gonna copy what I said before:

  is this trust worthy?

  Extasis mentions this guy handledeck as the source

  xcancel.com/HandleDeck/…/1886501899832021224#m

  which links to this video

  www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgKzbHIWDK4

  which just mentions this article www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-25.0-RADV-RDNA4-State

  saying: “by reading this article carefully we can come up to the conclusion that…”

  Seems all bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s new Discord-like Communities are rolling out to more creators⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s nothing like Discord. It’s just the ability to create a post to a wall, include images, and have people be able to comment. Then you can filter between posts of the YT creator or the rest.

  Discord uses dedicated announcement channels, roles, personalisation, hierarchical permissions and a bunch of external apps to be able to create and sustain a community.

  But the biggest difference? Discord is instant chat. This is just YouTube comments with attachments that you can post to the channel instead of a video. Meh.

  FWIW, in April 2023 ChatGPT was also blocked for a month over privacy violations, resulting in a €15 million fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Trends comparison between Steam Deck and other PC handhelds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  100 means peak popularity. 50 means half of that. That’s how Google Trends work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, we can’t have nice things under capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your phone only last 16 hours and that’s with the screen off? I think you need to check your phone, because that’s not normal. Your phone should be able to last a full day or two.

  But on my phone i very much need to be able to charge it to 100% before travelling

  Yeah, so at that point you opt-in to the “overcharge” (just to make it look scary!) method of charging 100%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I was just trying to keep it simple for the non math folks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I don’t get it either. Just make 80% the new 100%, and if someone wants to get the most capacity as a “power user” (no pun intended), they can manually switch at the warning that this will decrease battery life time.

  This way, it’s opt-out instead of opt-in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Inscryption is a game that wants you to break it, as it will progress the story. Try to do all the puzzles in the cabin, and be sure to collect all the cards that are new.

  Eventually, it will become almost trivial in order to get you to progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: New Details On Bungie's Upcoming MOBA Gummy Bears Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While fundamentally a MOBA, the game’s “Smash Bros.” influences mean it feels distinct from other entries in the genre; falling off maps, and replacing health-bar eliminations.

  I don’t think it’s gonna be very popular if it’s “just” a MOBA. While Smash Bros. is a great game on the technical level (except Brawl), they are carried by the massive IPs that appear in the game(s).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Can Gamers Build A Strong Gaming Community?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, there it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And an alternative to Discord?

  A chatroom isn’t hard to replace, but the video/voice calling on Discord is what keeps people there.
