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.

So this argument can be used in cases of piracy? "Your honor, I was simply using this copyrighted movie to train my llm, not to watch illegally."

Corporate LLMs will become absolutely useless because there will be guardrails on every single keyword you search.

The 2020 election was questioned by republicans for months after it concluded. Many investigations were made and found ZERO evidence of interference. If anything, some republicans were charged in a handful of states for election interference crimes.

Questioning an election is one thing, but outright denying the results even after all the evidence suggests that no interference/meddling occurred sets a precedence for future candidates that they can cause chaos in the system by just constantly claiming elections are rigged, eventually causing distrust of the entire system by voters who will just assume that their votes don't matter because the decision has already been set.

I believe if you are attempting to discredit an election, not because of the potential for foul play, but because you are just upset that you or your candidate of choice lost, and you attempt to destabilize the democratic system in order to achieve your goal, that is treason/sedition and should be a crime that is delt with a severe penalty.

stop criticizing people who don’t want to vote when their promised „democracy” is terrible and even worse.

How exactly do you think a democratic election that runs on votes is supposed to work? What exactly is not voting going to do, other than ensure that the folks who are voting for the candidate that is more inclined to do more damage to this country wins?

Even if you dislike both candidates, not voting isn't going to fix anything. Vote for whoever is least likely to destroy the country and make it hell for certain people, and then focus your efforts locally and trying to inspire change on the local level.

Honestly this is what I don't understand about her, especially when her words and attitude go directly against the themes that the books she wrote outlined. For example, Hermione being called slurs like mudblood and the other characters sticking up for her. Hagrid who has to live with himself as part giant and is considered a threat by most of the wizarding world, but those who are close and know him, know that hes a kind hearted person.

In almost every instance where a character has to deal with something about themselves that's different than the others, the lesson is that everyone should always accept who they are and that they're valid in being who or what they are.

Instead in real life she just ignores all of this and just acts like a disgusting piece of shit, and you have to wonder how she even wrote these books when she lives her days talking and acting like this.

 

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?
