The worst part is while variable shading can help… The fixed half shading on the Steam Deck’s APU barely gives any performance benefits at all. It will make everything look horrendous on many games, and net you pretty much zero FPS. Keep it always off.

I want wires everywhere I don’t care fuck wireless signals give me wired headphones, controllers, networks

Me and my homies hate antennas

Monkey’s paw curls. Wish granted: you will live for 10 to the power of 107 years, you’ll outlive every living and non living being, you’ll transcend mortal understanding, you’ll play with the flow of entropy - to see birth and death, hot and cold, to feel the final, guttering pulse of the last black hole as it surrenders its hoarded information to the void.

And you’ll have a little popcorn kernel stuck between your gum and a tooth during this entire time.

I use a dedicated MP3 player and a large FLAC library.

I use MusicBee, running on Wine, to listen and synchronize automatically.

I don’t believe in subscriptions, and therefore won’t pay for one: no music streaming, no Netflix, no Game Pass, no Adobe.

the benefit of it is just not bloating my 128gb phone to it´s limits

That’s kinda the thing though, using modern codecs there’s no way you’ll get anywhere close to facing this issue. A song encoded with Opus at higher than necessary quality is 2.5 MBs on average - that’s over 20 thousand songs in 50 GB, not even half of your total storage gets you 50 days of continuous audio.

The Homebrew Channel for LG WebOS is got three pieces of absolutely essential software:

A YouTube app modified with built in ad blocking and sponsor blocking. The Jellyfin app. The Moonlight app.

With these three plus the toggle to block system updates your TV gets 1000% better for free.

for music: not streaming.

Music is a solved problem, the files are small even at FLAC quality and can be tiny with Opus whilst sounding transparent. Any SOC made in the last 15 years features a more than fully capable DAC.

Why even bother with streaming? Have a local collection of files. Even syncing is easy.

Remember when Plex tried to sell you a subscription to use outdated versions of open source game console emulators?

Plex wants to be a profit-driven company, but their business model is piracy. They’ll squeeze you for subscriptions, while making your experience worse to try and broker a peace deal with content owners.
