Microsoft purchased Blizzard.

This happens to me with Xbox controllers randomly. 90% of the time they work, but then I randomly need to re-pair, reboot the Deck, toggle Bluetooth (any of these make it work again), or grab a different controller.

I mostly do my own work, but whenever I do take my car to the local Mazda dealer, they always provide a full inspection report as well as a video of the tech checking everything and explaining anything that they’ve found. Even when my wife takes her car in for only basic maintenance (it’s still under warranty so we take it in for oil changes), they do the same thing and don’t charge anything extra.

Same dealer network owns the local Ford dealer and I ended up taking my old Fiesta ST there for an oil change as I didn’t have the space to do it myself at the time. $45 for an oil change and tire rotation, and I got the same inspection report and video.

A while ago, there was something that showed the higher failure rate of various components on EVs because of the lack of routine service that has cars have. Basically, gas cars get a service and inspection every 5-10k miles when the oil is changed and any worn bearings, bushings, etc. are found. EVs don’t have that so things go unnoticed until they fail. Could this be the same? Could the “reliability” concerns just be normal wear that isn’t getting caught since there are no routing inspections?

Where did you get the driver for it?

Damn. Oh well. Good to know though. Thanks!

This is interesting as I’m looking for the opposite answer. I want my Deck to wake up when I turn on my Xbox controller, but it doesn’t right now unless I wake it up with the power button first. If you find something outside of this thread, please let me know.

Is this only in certain areas? YouTube is still working fine for me on FireFox.

It’s not an employee benefit. It’s a membership thing that customers can sign up for. It was literally the only perk of it.

Depends if this includes games being streamed to the Deck or only ones that are running locally.

How are you running Xcloud? Are you running Windows?

Looks like I’m finally switching to Firefox.

Those look like standard sticks, not hall effect. It looks like these are the hall effect ones.

I have a Moto G Stylus 2023 (non-5G) and did not receive this notification.

Edit: I never used the Device Help app so it’s not setup. I wonder if this is why I didn’t receive it.

Played Assassin’s Creed 1 recently and it’s so clunky. A remaster would need some new controls or something to be viable today, but a remake would be better.
