99 % of smartphone users don’t care about USB-C transfer speeds because they only use the port for charging. Maybe a fraction of these users uses wired CarPlay, which works the same with USB 2.0 speeds. Maybe some users use a USB-C to headphone jack adapter which works the same as well.

There’s a tiny fraction of users that’ll ever notice the speed difference (because they use the port for actual data transfer) but they won’t find reading a spec sheet confusing.

Not sure if I understand you correctly.

Your goal is to have a single (1) computer that replaces all computers you currently have by essentially virtualizing different systems?

You get downvoted because people here tend to dislike Apple (which is fine), but that’s actually what happened.

The iPad (and eventually Android tablets) basically ate up the market share of Netbooks very quickly. Steve Jobs introduced the iPad as a Netbook alternative as a device class between a smartphone and a (full-sized) notebook/desktop.

That it’s best so sort comments from lowest scores to highest to get the actual unpopular opinions.

The DSP firmware the code comment mentions is probably a proprietary binary blob, right? That means it’s pretty much a blackbox and it’s not possible to fix the underlying issue, hence this workaround.

The best Windows is Wine ;)

Let’s see how broad hardware support is. I’m planning to build a SFF PC for the TV and I know Bazzite exists but I like the slow and stable approach of SteamOS for a machine like that.

Why don’t they bundle the browser itself in the Flatpak and update it via the default Flatpak update mechanism?

Couldn’t remember the passcode of my phone a few years ago and I had been using this passcode for quite a while. I guess I only really remembered it through muscle memory and that somehow went away.

I didn’t recover the muscle memory for the whole day so I decided to reset my phone and restore from backup, setting a new passcode. The next day I tried to unlock my phone and out of habit typed in my old passcode (that obviously no longer unlocked my phone), had a big AHA moment and that was that.

Relying on muscle memory is not a great idea, mine left me for a good 24 hours before suddenly coming back.

I have a few passcodes/passphrases like this but nowadays I store them in a password manager as well, just in case my muscle memory lets me down again.

Until it starts breaking, like it did for me upgrading from Fedora 39 to 40 for example.

Or until you try to bind mount a volume of a container and need to use z or Z flags.

The “advantage” compared to a simple Linux USB is that it saves the exact state of the VM I guess.

Meh, I’d rather open the applications I need again (or let my DE restore them) than running a VM just for that reason.

Does this happen with the network cable unplugged?

We played “Project Eden” on a (small) LAN yesterday. It supports up to 4 player coop, you play a group of “agents” (?) and it’s basically a third person puzzle-solving + shooting game.

*Linux ISOs

It actually performed decent until Apple gimped the SSD part to a mere 32 GB (down from 128 GB) in newer iMac models.

Same here. I feel like having to enter it so many times isn’t just more annoying but also makes the users more susceptible to phishing attacks ad they’ll naturally pay less attention where they’re entering the 2FA code into when they do it so routinely.

Big advantage being that it’s plug-and-play via the kernel and Mesa packages, just like AMD.

Microsoft’s ‘VP of Next Generation’ Xbox exec will also attend.

“Please welcome Microsoft’s Idontknow Theirname to the stage!”

Idontknow Theirname: “It’s been a great pleasure to work with Lenovo to bring Xbox’ vision to life on this amazing device. […]”

“And now, please welcome Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais to the stage!”

Pierre-Loup Griffais: “Yeah the Legion Go 2 will come with SteamOS preinstalled, no Windows/Xbox bloat.”

Random disconnects. Sometimes I leave my Deck downloading something and come back later only to find out that the download stopped (connection timeout or similar errors). Steam switches to offline mode and to fix it I have to turn Wi-Fi off and back on, and sometimes only a full restart does the trick.

Thanks for the troubleshooting tips, but I’d rather not downgrade my home Wi-Fi because of one device having issues. I use many other Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7 devices just fine on that access point and because I access files on a local NAS via wireless devices frequently, I kind of want the performance benefits of (up to) Wi-Fi 7.

Automatic band steering also works great with all other devices, so I’d rather not setup separate Wi-Fi networks for each band. Wi-Fi 7 can bundle bands together anyway, so I’d lose that ability as well.

I’ve read about quite a few people having issues with the OLED and 6E/7 APs, often related to 6 GHz so I’m pretty sure it’s not a defect specific to my device. You got me an idea though: maybe I can blacklist the Steam Deck from the 6 GHz band on my access point, not sure.

My white OLED has connection issues to my Unifi 7 Pro AP. So it’s still pretty messy depending on your Wi-Fi setup.
