Are you not putting specific videos into a playlist and then playing the playlist? You make it sound like some sort of magic is taking place adding videos you didn't personally vet.

Agreed that keyboards are a good early project. To add to that, if you play video games, leverless arcade controllers can be a fun build also. Pretty similar overall as far as parts and shape, but the firmware they run (stuff like GP2040-CE

Modern arcade controllers are pretty standardized. The 8 buttons on the right are your four face buttons and four shoulder buttons. That plus your 8-directional dpad means they work for just about any 2D game or 3D game that doesn't ne

That can't be right. You can routinely find good deals on Steam keys using ITAD (isthereanydeal.com) which just searches a bunch of key sites for you and compares prices. So are all these sites breaking some rule then?

SMS MFA is ridiculous and should not be a thing. Phones are very unreliable (between trying to daily drive a PinePhone in the past for a while, and AT&T's device whitelist after the 3G shutdown, I've been through a lot of crap

If it's anything like yt-dlp, the ads aren't part of the actual video, so just grabbing the direct video happens to "bypass ads".

There's a chance those older Windows titles would work in Proton on GNU/Linux. Probably not the solution you want, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Of course it will be, that's what the Decks run now. They don't update in the same way or pace as regular Arch, though. pacman is basically disabled. You're encouraged to do everything through flatpak and appimage, and then t

Snow Peak's titanium spork is awesome as well. I got two and use one for my regular meals and the other I EDC in a cargo pocket for use away from home.

If it only comes once every 3 years, it's at least as notable as a new software release, which is something that often gets posted here.

Starting with the *40 gen they changed from LVDS to eDP screens and got access to better screens. This was the start of 1080p being available at 14" where it was only in 15" models before. There's a panel from one of the Raze

That's pretty reasonable. My phone screen is 120hz but my main computer monitors are only 60hz, so I more-or-less don't know what I'm missing. I tend to care more about color and viewing angles than refresh rate on a monitor

With a lot of changes that probably can't be retrofit into a launch Deck, I see this as trying to attract new customers instead of old ones. Probably worth waiting on the next release with an actual spec bump in a few more years.

There's a weird cult-like attitude around 40fps that I've noticed. Personally I run everything at the normal 60hz and almost everything I play runs fine, even at the higher resolution (1920x1200) of my external monitor. Counter-St

The Steam Controller was killed off, and IIRC there was a patent infringement issue with the paddles on the back. I'd love to see a redesigned Steam Controller based on the Deck's controls. I play my Deck almost exclusively docked

The Raspberry Pi using Broadcom chips has always made it hard to take seriously. How are competing boards with RockChip SoCs doing on this front? WiFi support is kind of a mess of nasty blobs across the board unless you go back to Wireless
