What are you talking about? This is about using a mouse and keyboard with a docked Steam Deck.

Weird. I was just expecting some odd key combination not that it isn’t implemented at all.

I guess I have to keep a controller near to access the menu then as a workaround.

I almost forgot it existed. It was a slight improvement, but with a whole bunch of new problems (most notable race conditions which were never fixed) and it was made obsolete by systemd.

It was a good evolutionary step only used by Ubuntu iirc. It was better at that time than the previous init system, but not more than that and it never found wide adaption.

I used Linux (and some Unix) before systemd was a thing and init scripts are jank. So much boilerplate and that was before things like proper isolation existed and other more modern features.

I don’t understand why anyone would want that back.

A replacement of systemd with something else would be fine, but please no more init scripts and pointless run levels.

Using the official dock, I don’t have a picture until I sleep cycle* my Deck if the TV is not on before waking it up. There is no picture on either display until then.

Also I am using a tiny keyboard for waking up the Steam Deck and it never works if I replugged the device without another sleep cycle.

It’s not great, but at least there are some workarounds. Which work for me.

*Sleep cycle means waking up the device and putting it back to sleep at least once

Two weeks? I would throw away the whole fridge if I left any food in there for two weeks.

Most foods are okay for around two days without any problems. Some foods may last up to 5 days if they are salty or contain some vinegar, but it requires throughout heating to be save at this point.

I would never eat anything older than that which has been exposed to air. It’s a biohazard!

Sorry, I cannot really answer this. I am using the docked USB ports for mouse and keyboard receivers and have never tried any external storage.

Yes, I played most of it docked to my TV using a PS5 controller and only some undocked. There is no difference between docked and handheld mode like for the Switch though so it is fine either way.

Just don’t expect the highest quality settings for any recent AAA game. Due to hardware specific optimizations it is seriously impressive what the machine can actually run.

I completed Elden Ring on the Steam Deck without problems and I assume the other Souls games would run even better. Vampire Survivor also runs fine, no surprise really.

It is awkward as a laptop, but for gaming it is really nice. It’s the closest you can get to a gaming console for PC games.

Just no!

I would probably prefer having a headphone jack. I am using wireless buds though. The problem with them is the price. While you can get decent wired earbuds for around $100 or even slightly less you have to pay at least $300 for decent wireless ones. Seriously I tried a few, but they all sounded like absolute garbage. It’s probably a cheap DAC in all of them combined with even less available space due to batteries and other electronics.

Another downside is that you can only use them for like 5 hours at a time. It is fine most of the time, but on long train rides I hit the limitation a few times.

Overall I am happy with the wireless ones, they are convenient, but it is really expensive to replace them and you have fewer choices, so having wired headsets as an option would be great.

I never tried wireless Bluetooth interfaces though and I suspect they might be better than the inbuilt jack of phones which would make them obsolete in my opinion.

I didn’t know it is a book. I liked the movie though.

I should probably add it to my list then!

Because the sun is also a depleting source of energy. I question the definition of renewable that’s all.

I would have never considered nuclear energy being renewable, but I guess a similar argument could be made.

It’s an interesting take. I guess the sun is not renewable either.

Is any practically infinite (in human scales) source of energy called renewable? I am hearing this for the first time.

How is nuclear renewable?

It would be interesting with what the carbs were substituted. As far as we know most sources of carbs are really bad for you. Some even worse than plain sugar, because they raise your blood sugar so much in a short time.

Of course fats (and proteins) are necessary to be healthy, because without them you will die. If you don’t provide enough carbs to burn the body will metabolize its own though hence the usefulness of external carbs is questionable except for calories. That’s the whole idea behind low carb and keto diets.

It would be really interesting to see this study repeated with another demographic. At least I assume that the normal diet is very carb heavy for most people there which might skew the results in different ways.

It was an interesting read nonetheless and I hope there will be more studies on this topic.

I am in hospital and bored out of my mind. I keep scrolling and scrolling and…
