I wish the port was on the bottom in the first place. Ditto audio jacks on phones (while they lasted, rip)

Underlying kernel aside, I think that the Steamdeck's SteamOS is an excellent example of how "easy to use" != "smaller feature-set". I've heard countless times from apple dudes that the reason that their stuff allegedly "just works" is because of the lack of some functionally that if present would overwhelm the user. You know, as if ios and android don't share fundamentally the same user interface principles. But they do have a point, a green user can be overwhelmed when presented with a huge feature set all at once. Yet, despite SteamOS literally having a full-blown desktop environment, the UI frankly is way less confusing than my Xbox. It just goes to show that it's not about the number of features, it's about how they're presented. Power users don't mind digging into a (well designed) settings menu to enable some advanced functionality, and keeping those advanced features and settings (with reasonable defaults) hidden around the corner behind an unlocked door helps the newbie get started with confidence.

The steam deck honestly is my favorite controller. If valve releases a controller that's the steam deck without a screen I'll be first in line and I'll take two please.

What? You have to pay the fee. You're joking right? You've been paying the fee, right?

Does the Axiom on Wall-E count as a space station?

OH. I scrolled past this post like 4 times before I got it. Lesson for the other ducks on viagra, follow the directions on the label or you'll end up like this guy.

Oh that's easy. Connecticut

 

TL;DR if the Roku app is failing to play back some videos recently, try turning on "Text Subtitles Only" in playback settings

So I'd been having this issue where certain videos would fail to playback in the Roku player (but only on Roku, playing from the Android app, the browser, or directly all worked). The video would get stuck buffering at 33%, but after a minute or so it'd finally stop with "There was an error retrieving the data for this item from the server". Transcoding issue? I'd been trying to figure this issue out for a few hours over the course of a few days. I don't recall having this issue before mid-December, and as I learned today apparently there was a big update to the Roku app.

Anyway, my first real clue was using "ffmpeg -i video.mp4" to compare the codecs of a known working video and a not working video. The non-working video was showing an issues with subtitles. So after poking around in the Roku client's settings I saw the "Text Subtitles Only" option in playback settings, and enabling it worked!

Hopefully someone sees this and it saves them a headache. I had to postpone my personal movie night like three times trying to figure this out
