Honey being one of them, it did start as a simple addon that gathered and automatically tried coupon codes for you. It did exactly what people expected it to do.

But obviously once you start getting hundreds of millions in venture capital funds, and eventually sell yourself to Paypal for 4 billion, it’s clear that isn’t all you are doing any more.

I did assume in the end that it stole all my shopping data, and probably bunch of browsing history in general, which is why I had it installed in a separate browser, but I didn’t expect it to be doing affiliate hacking and blackmailing partner deals for the coupons.

It will make it look more fluid. It will feel like it’s running at a lower framerate, and at the framerates BG3 runs at on the Deck, around 25fps or 40ms per frame, the increase would be quite noticeable.

NFS Most Wanted, the original, is fantastic, though it requires manual installation as it’s not on Steam.

Sadly the redux modpack version is just a bit too heavy as it includes a bunch of shaders and stuff you can’t disable. It runs, but you get maybe two hours. Vanilla barely taxes the deck.

But only hackers and cheaters use Linux, didn’t you know???

In our efforts to combat cheating in Apex, we’ve identified Linux OS as being a path for a variety of impactful exploits and cheats. As a result, we’ve decided to block Linux OS access to the game. While this will impact a small number of Apex players, we believe the decision will meaningfully reduce instances of cheating in our game.

It’s also one of the only two requirements for the “Verified” label. Specifically, “the game must ship with a default configuration on Deck that results in a playable framerate.” That’s literally the only thing about performance in the entire process, the rest is all UI and usability stuff.

Default to low and get a playable framerate - whatever that means - and you can get your game verified.

Link only streamed.

This is a Steam TV.

BT 5 has max bandwidth of 2Mbps, which would in theory be enough for “CD quality”, i.e 44.1khz/16 bit raw uncompressed audio, as that’s around 1.4Mbps. In real life conditions it isn’t. AFAIK aptX lossless gets close by doing some compression.

But if you go full audiophile levels and start demanding lossless 192khz 24 bit audio, that’s 10Mbps and not even remotely possible over BT no matter what you’d try.

CE mark is often self-approved, it is neither an actual certification nor is there a process or money required. It’s simply a promise from the manufacturer that the product “conforms with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.”

It either does that and they can put a CE mark on it, or it doesn’t and that product is never going to be available in the EU as-is.

Graphics are graphics, that’s what limits most of the games and devices. Optimize something to run on the Switch 2, and that should work on the Deck too.
That benchmark used to be the PS4, but most developers have dropped support for last gen hardware.

Few things:
The Deck can’t support 65W charging either. It prefers, and maxes out, at a 45W charge, specifically 15V@3A. It can charge using 12/9/5V standards as well, but obviously does so slower.
5V charging is only recommended while the deck is off/sleeping as there is a batch with bad charging chips that can overheat and burn out otherwise (as it has to boost the 5V up to 7.4V and above for the battery)

Slower chargers still work even while gaming - they just extend the time it takes to drain.

If a powebank advertises mAh, it’s using the nominal voltage of a single lithium cell, 3.6 or 3.7V. If they use Wh (and aren’t blatant scams), then that’s the only thing that matters. What you get out is always less, due to the conversion losses.

LCD has a 40Wh battery, OLED has 50Wh. Get at least 20% more if you truly want a full charge.

The deck has power passthrough, once it’s full it uses the charger only. Sometimes this means it “refuses” to charge to 100% and instead stops just shy, that’s kinda normal.

No clue if it’s like this where this happened, but here in Finland the numbers in rural areas are just “how far your house is from the main road.” So smallroad 42 and smallroad 69 are simply 420 and 690 metres from where smallroad started from mainroad, and can indeed be neighbours.

For my smol hands, the Skull & co back button extensions.

I bought a 3 meter extension cable from a thrift shop. Europlugs are wonderful for how slim those are.

If the car has internet connectivity and an app, then the answer to that question is yes, because that’s how the apps work.
And I very much doubt you can find a manufacturer that promises that they definitely don’t ever access that functionality or data for any reason whatsoever, especially if the cops or a court orders them to.

Bioware is (was) actually many studios in a trenchcoat - Bioware Edmonton (“old” Bioware, ME trilogy, Anthem), Bioware Austin (Sw:TOR, DA: I) and formerly Bioware Montreal (ME: Andromeda) and a bunch of other smaller teams.

Though almost all of the veterans have left, so it’s now kinda a Ship of Thesius type situation, Bioware only in name.

BT latency depends so much on the exact model of headphone it’s almost impossible to give an accurate answer, other than “If it supports AptX LL, it’s going to be as good as gets.”
I personally can’t notice it while using Airpod Pro 2’s (around 125ms) with my Deck unless I’m playing an actual rhythm game. Then it completely messes me up and I switch to wired ones.

my gaming PC is currently outdated (970)

GTX 970 is faster than the GPU on the Deck, though…

And in addition to them backfeeding into the grid , they bypass all the fuses and GFCI protections your house might have and effectively require the use of a suicide cord. That part of a plug should never be providing power, only using it.

Kinda depends a bit on how and why the war ends, doesn’t it? Because it’s also possible that it does so only once/because Russia stops being a threat.
Unless it “ends” just so we can get Ukraine War 2 Electric Boogaloo in a few years when they decide otherwise.

Or with the Crimea thing and all, would that be The Ukraine War: Revolutions already?

The Deck triggers don’t have a physical switch at the end, but Steam Input does have soft pull and full pull mappings as well as settings to change when and how they activate.

“discard changes” button - the 5000 “new file created” changes, specifically.
