I don't see why these hardware manufacturers think they can just shit out handhelds and then call it a day. Valve spent so much time in R&D with steam os trying to make an actual usable mobile interface for the deck, and they've so far done an outstanding job doing that.

For example, on the deck if you run into an issue, say for example an app crashes. No problem, just press the home button and exit the game. Worst comes to worse you just restart steam (you can now restart steam instead of rebooting the entire device).

On a windows device, especially something like this, if your game crashe, unless the device has an overlay that allows you to force close the game you'd have to plug in a keyboard to alt tab. If the overlay app crashes then you'd absolutely need a keyboard.

There's just so many issues that can arise that will understandably piss off the user trying to use these devices to simply play games, but issues happen and windows is the absolute least mobile friendly OS to use on the market.

I feel like these manufacturers expect the hardware power alone to sell the device, but the secret to valve's success has mostly been with Steam OS and not necessarily the deck hardware itself.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It literally only exists on a single desktop environment and even then it's practically beta. On my TV it just shows everyhing as green and purple when I enable HDR.

I love linux and want it to keep improving but man people need to stop circlejerking linux so much when it comes to people using windows when it suits their needs

Im guessing they see it as voting for a woman is submissive because you're acknowledging that a woman has more power than you, whereas marrying a woman means the man has power over the woman.

Im no longer going to mcdonalds because the wait times are insane. The inside staff are low staffed. If you order inside it will most likely take 20 minutes to get your food. If you're in drive through, they just tell you to pull into one of the numbered spots, and then eventually you might get your food.

They took the "fast" out of fast food and made it ridiculously expensive. So no, I'm not going to spend $10 on a meal thats going to take half an hour to make when I can just go to a sit down restaurant and get a much better burger for $12

overconsumption of wasteful products like this is what's destroying this fucking world.

One bottle has 77g of sugar, even one a day is an incredible amount of sugar for the average diet, thats in conjunction with I assume other sugary foods too.

Most drinks in general just have way way too much sugar.

Wow Bukem's style has changed quite a bit in the past couple years. This sounds like the more modern dnb than his classic jungle style. I've always enjoyed his atmospheric/jungle tracks as they have just a great chill vibe.

I don't like this line of thinking because especially now where new games seem to always suffer from performance issues, it lowers the bar that these developers feel like they'd need to set as far as the experience they're offering for their games.

I think the minimum standard should be at least 60fps, in cases with steam deck and other low-end hardware of course concessions must be made, so either lower graphics settings or deal with lower framerates.

But there's no reason a new game should be suffering poor framerates on modern desktop hardware (looking at you Dragons Dogma 2).

I want to switch to AMD but I also game in windows occasionally and it seems like the opposite experience where AMD isn't as good in windows as nvidia is. Also right now the high end AMD cards aren't as compelling compared to what nvidia is offering so it makes it harder. Hopefully the 8000 series GPUs really come in at a good price and with good performance.

Imagine doing this and just being able to quit your job, meanwhile a citizen would be arrested and charged with a felony.

Minecraft has a pokemon mod, wonder where nintendo lawyers were with that one?

 

So recently I posted about cracking my back glass and wanting to do the repair myself. So after ordering new glass, and all the adhesives that are required, as well as the iOpener kit, I got set to work.

I heated the screen and was almost done taking it off until I got to the top. I slid the opening pick and saw it go under the screen, like as in I saw it through the glass... I knew instantly that I had made a grave mistake.

Sure enough I booted it back up and the screen was instantly splotched with flashing white until it eventually just straight died. Since I had the rest of the stuff I figured I'd get the shell swapped and put everything mostly back together. I was able to use scrcpy to view whats going on my phone without the screen and I verified everything else works with the diagnostic tool, but now I'm out another $220 to replace the screen.

So lesson learned, be very very careful when getting those opening picks under your screens!

 

So I bought a pixel 8 pro a few days ago, and my dumbass dropped it and sure enough the back glass cracked as a result. I ordered a replacement case from iFixit, but I'm worried about doing the replacement myself. Does anyone have any experience in this regard and can offer any tips? Do I have to disassemble the entire phone, or is there a way to only get the back cover/frame off without going through the screen?
