well if you want to update the flatpaks, then you can use
flatpak update --noninteractive. there’s also a deckyloader plugin (I forget the name) that updates them from game mode automatically on whatever schedule you set.if it’s the system, then that updates outside of desktop mode from the setting page.

Check on Reddit, somebody posted a tutorial on how to reset the desktop user password on the Steam Deck.

Yeah, fuck that neoliberal bullshit. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, and people who coddle them are collaborators that should share their fate.

- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Summer Sale has started, what are you buying to play on your Deck? 5 weeks ago:
You know, I really expected Dune to be shit, with mixed reviews at best. And here we are, with them having very positive reviews on Steam, and apparently 1mill players already.
I’m happy to see that I was totally, absolutely wrong. Thinking of picking it up.

That’s not the point. It’s bad for lithium batteries to be full all the time. That’s why iPhones wait to charge the last 20% until right before you wake up, and why Samsung phones have the option to limit charging to 80%. However, the most ideal charge for battery health is between 50-60%, so if you leave your Deck plugged in all the time, you should limit the charging to that for maximum battery life, and only charge it higher when you know you’re going to be needing it.

I was just thinking that we should hand over the ability to brick our technology to US politicians. Seeing as how they aren’t all horrible pieces of shit.

I’m just shocked Motorola is still ticking along, making cell phones.

I mean, Android is kind of not really Linux. They’re cousins, at least.
Then again, iOS is also built on Unix, if I remember correctly, so I guess they’re all cousins.

If you had read the article, it’s going to come pre-installed on Moto and probably Samsung phones.

Whatever the repair was, the battery doesn’t need drained for it anyway. You disconnect the battery when upgrading or repairing the Deck. Even a dead battery has some charge.

I don’t think there’s many companies that I’ve heard of that are willing to repair or replace something that far out of warranty.

ChatGPT isn’t shifting anywhere politically. It repeats what it hears, it doesn’t hold any opinions of its own because it isn’t sapient.

Well, if they were really serious about it, I’m sure they could manage something that wasn’t too horrible. But I doubt they’re very serious about it yet.

Yeah, stupid memes are exactly what we need. Just like the cybertruck was exactly the meme tesla needed, right?
I don’t know who the fuck even wrote this trash, and I’m not dignifying the article with a click to find out, but I’m dumber now just for having read the title.

Animal Crossing for the Switch, at the moment.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
Unless it has support for Steam Game Mode and Steam Input, then it’s not the SteamOS I want.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
Sure, as long as it’s not made by ASUS. I used to always buy ASUS. My last gaming rig had an ASUS motherboard and GPU. Nowadays, I’m not interested in ever buying anything from them again after hearing about their RMA controversy. I need to know that if I get a component that’s DoA or fails under warranty, that the company that makes it has my back.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
Unless it has touch pads, at least four back buttons, and runs SteamOS, I do not want any such thing.

The data comes from the battery itself, as far as I know.
On the plus side, SD batteries are easily replaceable.
- Comment on [Discussion] How is your Steam Deck's battery holding up? 6 months ago:
Uh, that’s used to keep the game from pausing when it autosaves, like it does on Windows. I don’t think they use it any other time.

Nobara is pretty good, but after trying Bazzite I made the switch pretty quickly.
One of the best things about it is the stability. You don’t have to worry about an update failing and breaking something. Another neat thing is that updates for the OS are unattended, they happen in the background. And if you set Flatpaks to also auto-update, you can have a machine that has zero maintenance, assuming you aren’t running something in a distrobox. That’s great for a lot of machines, but especially a gaming rig, where you might not be doing as much ricing.

I mean, you basically nailed it.
- Comment on Google Trends comparison between Steam Deck and other PC handhelds 6 months ago:
I mean, if this isn’t doing it for you, the sales figures for each handheld are public knowledge. And the Steam Deck still has a sizable lead over competitors, despite the technically weaker performance.
