With how big the thing is I really don't want more bulk on it. My brother in law had a deck until his girlfriend knocked it off a table and destroyed the shell...
My wife has already knocked mine off a couch and caused the case to un-clip in one spot, but it could have very easily been much worse.
I get wanting a case on the thing lol

It's been a sporadic issue across multiple steamOS versions for a long, long time. At one point they said they fixed it, but I have the bug on the current version.
I'm sure if you go through the process of factory resetting the device or re-loading the OS and blowing away your settings it can be fixed, but I look at that as way too much work.
This thread has someone with a very verbose set of instructions of how to fix it via command line https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/597404077749474647/

With the case I just figure the one it comes with is the best case i've ever seen offered first party at no extra cost.
If you drop the thing though it's toast. it's way too big and heavy to survive any real fall. I'd be very surprised if even some kind of otterbox would work (but I admit i've never looked into it.)

Apparently the issue is games that have very many tiny files that aren't all inside of one larger file. This is a thread that sounds about right: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/tcomih/reserving_space_extremely_slow_on_sd_card/
So if a game is like GW2 and has nothing but a couple of extramassive files, it's very fast to allocate the space. If tha game has hundreds of thousands of very tiny files, it takes forever to allocate the space.

The SD card thing was something I definitely saw a ton of others with the issue of when I knew the exact description of what was happening, but it's been a few months.
When you go to install a game it does something to the effect of "provisioning space for game" and it was taking me minutes to hours before it would install some games.
The card I have is this PNY one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DM9NNMND So far i'm using only maybe 15% of the space. I noticed it when I first got it and was downloading a couple of games, not even necessarily large ones.

Don't set charge limits, because odds are you can never get back to 100% battery charging ever again due to bugs (at best I get 99% now.)
Don't expect your games to "just work" - even if they have a green check box, expect to have to troubleshoot like you always have, almost certainly even more.
Memorize Steam button + X to open the keyboard, you're gonna need it.
Don't go anywhere without a charger unless you're playing a game that you know will last long on battery.
The more games you install, the more games you won't play. A giant SD card and a giant SSD just means you have more shit that you look at and feel guilty before you power it off because you can't decide what to play anyway (and that's a big factor for why our backlogs have been growing all this time even before getting a deck. Too many games, not enough time and motivation.)
Know that a USB-C dock is gonna have issues. You're gonna have to fuck with audio output settings each and every time you connect it, and sometimes when you resume it from sleep. It will not always gracefully recover when you unplug it either.
There's gonna be a refresh to the hardware before you know it, and you're gonna want that version.
It's too big to fit in your pocket, you basically need a backpack for it.
You won't need any kind of case, but a glass screen protector is a good idea.
The bottom plastic near the screws will crack from stress. It happens even moreso on the transparent model.
Expect very poor control schemes on any game that is not incredibly popular with official gamepad support. If you are patient and can setup the keybinds yourself you can do OK- but some games just don't work well with a controller, period.
Sleep mode drains battery like a motherfucker. It seemed great on release, but now I lose what feels like 20% a day, or more. This means the deck you set down Sunday night will almost certainly be dead by Saturday when you get back to it.
Games that have poor save schemes like what has been found in older RPGs can be frustrating to deal with, because if you pause your session and come back to it... you still need to grind to the next save point or lose your progress. This is in a non-issue in tons of games, but can be an issue sometimes.
Some games sync in-game settings to the cloud, and overwrite what you have on your deck or PC depending on what was last used.
If you use an SD card, sometimes it can take minutes to hours to provision the storage necessary to begin downloading and installing the game on said SD card. This is after it's properly formatted, no matter how many games have been installed and how much space is free. It's a great mystery.
There's hotkey combinations to turn up and down brightness. If you hold down the steam key long enough, it shows you many more of those combinations to do many more useful things.
When you're changing settings in a game, you can specify changing global settings or hit a slider to make it per-game profile. It's almost always better to change per-game profiles so your settings can be custom per game.
You can remote play on a ps5 incredibly well. Chiaki4deck is great.
Your GOG, Epic and other games do not work easily natively. There are fan projects like Heroic Games Launcher to have this functionality, but they aren't native to the system.
It's very easy to not have any of your steam playtime register with steam.
It's very easy for your steam playtime to suddenly display dozens or hundreds of hours from sleep mode being utilized in some games.
That's just what I can mention from personal experience.
- Comment on AI companies have stopped warning you that their chatbots aren’t doctors 1 month ago:
The thing that LLMs are great at is taking a LOT of datapoints and coming to a conclusion based on all of them.
Humans can look at a few but get overwhelmed.
if you feed a ton of diagnostic data including past incidents, blood test, perhaps DNA tests, i'm pretty sure LLMs will be able to better figure out a diagnosis than a doctor using traditional methods.
When users self-diagnose, they're often wrong, because they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Garbage in garbage out regardless of the entity trying to process it.
This study is one that put doctors against a LLM, 90% accuracy for chatgpt, 74% for doctors not using LLM tool. https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2024/12/03/ai-diagnosis-ec
So chatgpt wrong 10% of the time, doctor wrong 26% of the time. 2.6x worse failure rate by real docs... for that one anyway. The better the data for chatgpt, the better it's diagnosis. Humans probably won't get much better, but LLMs? I bet they will.
We're likely to have an intermediary step where HCPs handle the symptoms, testing, etc and then it's fed into a medical focused LLM. The LLM will output potential diagnosis for a doctor to review for sanity, even though the doctor is probably less accurate it will make everyone feel better, and then the doc will slap a diagnosis on their profile.
LLMs will be infinitely better than humans at figuring out drug interactions (it's just a big fucking database), allergies (they can't forget you're allergic to NSAIDs like my wife is, and who routinely has been given them by HCPs who fuck up.) Who knows what else.

Nah, I just consistently put more effort in than you clowns.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11263899/
ChatGPT4 rated higher than physicians at taking text input and getting a diagnosis in that study.
Here's a completely different one. 90% accuracy for chatgpt, 74% for doctors not using LLM tool. https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2024/12/03/ai-diagnosis-ec
So chatgpt wrong 10% of the time, doctor wrong 26% of the time. 2.6x worse failure rate by real docs... for that one anyway.
It's just a matter of time for medical diagnosis to be done by LLMs first, and then simply be reviewed by a doc for sanity because humans "don't trust" technology.
So here, you literally just prove you're an asshat, and I brought data.

Do you have any evidence that doctors are superior to doctors? I haven't seen any of it. :)
- Comment on AI companies have stopped warning you that their chatbots aren’t doctors 1 month ago:
If you post on reddit asking for advice, and you die after following the advice despite there being no claims of anyone being a doctor, who does someone sue?
IMO shouldn't need disclaimers stating that absolutely everyone and everything is not a lawyer, is not a HCP, etc, etc. It's just a given.
If you google something and just blindly do what the first result says, do you have a case against them too?
- Comment on AI companies have stopped warning you that their chatbots aren’t doctors 1 month ago:
There are no arguments otherwise here.
I'm not here to write beautifully crafted arguments when no one has yet to disagree.
- Comment on AI companies have stopped warning you that their chatbots aren’t doctors 1 month ago:
and if the argument is "Bbbuut the LLM was wrong once and someone DIED!"
The comparison is the human being wrong over and over and over and over to the result of countless deaths. Malpractice lawsuits must be rare compared to the amount of mistakes that are made, simply because it's difficult to get to the point where you win, and extremely costly if you fail the suit.
We already have people posting on social media for medical advice. LLMs just can't be worse than that.
- Comment on AI companies have stopped warning you that their chatbots aren’t doctors 1 month ago:
I feel like this is the self driving car thing again.
How often are human doctors wrong in their diagnoses?
How often are LLM doctors wrong in their diagnoses?
I'm pretty sure the former is close to 75%, and the latter substantially less. I've heard of so many people go to doctor after doctor and not get the right diagonsis or treatment for whatever they have going on, and it takes 5+ to find the one who figures it out and gets them treated.

Really? catfishing is this much of a risk that we'd rather eliminate privacy completely and provide biometric data that tinder can then sell to whoever?
