Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced people

  • 1060 is probably more powerful than the steam deck and that things run almost everything. You don’t have to play at 4k/ultra.

    • 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility

    Jump

  • Ultimate 2. It’s got a gyroscope and back paddles.

    • Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course

    Jump

  • This was all via chat so much faster than the painful voice prompts. I agree those are terrible.

    • Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course

    Jump

  • The kind of AI I mentioned isn’t a massive resource sink. I can run that sort of thing locally on my own computer. They don’t need supercomputers for level 1 material.

  • Nah, AI chatbots are at least useful for the basic repetitive things. Your modem isn't online, is it plugged in? Want me to refresh it in the system? Comcast adding that saved me half an hour a month on the phone.

    I fully believe they're at least as good as level 1 support because those guys are checking to see if you're the type to sniff stickers on the bottom of the pool.

    • uBlockOrigin is porting uBOL to iOS and macOS

    Jump

  • What's wrong with Safari on iOS? I prefer Firefox on my computer but on my phone all I want is better adblocking.

    • Nintendo Switch 2 is already running custom graphics through exploit one day after launch

    Jump

  • Yeah that's the only reason I've considered it. However, things have changed a lot since the Switch 1 came out. Existing Switch emulators will likely work well on Switch 2 soon given the similar hardware and the Steam Deck massively raised the bar on what I expect out of a portable system.

    Plus the controller still looks like it sucks for adult hands.

    • Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'

    Jump

  • Working as a solo dev on a project you know by heart is literally the easiest work to do. If you’ve never had to work on a large old codebase you have no idea just how hard it can be to make changes.

    I’ve done this sort of thing for years and I would not even give an estimate on a change for a new project without some time to look at the code base.

    Jump

  • Can’t be done is usually shorthand for the cost massively outweighs the benefits. No different from remodeling a building. Like coding, literally anything is theoretically possible but sometimes you’d have to redo so much existing work it’s never going to be worth it.

    • If I have a cupcake. And then I take the frosting off the cupcake. Is it still a cupcake, or a muffin?

    Jump

  • Even the Wikipedia article points out sweet muffins are only really different in that they’re usually not frosted and I’ve seen plenty of bakeries do that too.

    They may have once been different, but modern American muffins and the mixes bought in stores frequently have more sugar than cake batter while using the same ingredients. They’re just breakfast cake.

    • Steam Deck sales still going strong over three years later

    Jump

  • You're probably right, but I hope not. Those third parties keep focusing on chips poorly optimized for a handheld and ditching touchpads.

    • Team Fortress 2 updated with a whole bunch of fixes thanks to the community having the source code

    Jump

  • Yes yes yes. Pop down the MG right before the enemy charges in and go to town.

    • True

    Jump

  • Just swapped mine for a Kitchenaid model that is a massive improvement over my bargain bin. I imagine most of the >700 ones are good as long as you avoid Samsung and anyone else advertising gimmicks like wifi instead of good washing and drying.

    Note that you can't always compare them across retailers since they'll sell slightly tweaked models to each, but usually they have a common numbering system. I think both Bosch and Kitchenaid essentially tier theirs by 100. My Kitchenaid is a 604 and I could've gone down to a 500-series but liked that this one is where it included a larger external vent and fan to push air.

    • Recommend me a simple hub

    Jump

  • UGREEN has a nice one with 3 normal USB and one USB C. Went with it because it folds up nice for packing and the dock to deck cord is removable so I can easily use a different cable if I want to use it with my laptop.

    • [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - April 2025

    Jump

  • Chorus: Arcadey space combat. Gameplay is ok so far, but not a fan of the weird mystical voice over they've got going on for the MC.

    Lego Star Wars Complete (not Skywalker): Fun and silly. Good 2 player game.
