How did you come up with that username?

This is also nice because every state doesn't have to pass this kind of law for it to help everyone else. Companies are often willing to have california specific models of their products to comply with California specific laws, but if enough states have right to repair laws it will hopefully be easier for companies to just have all their products be compliant.

It's a rite of passage that every linux user should experience at least 3 times.

You can use dd, but as others have said, dd is nicknamed disk destroyer. If it was me, I'd probably just copy the files, which will be slower but easier to do.

phanto's suggestion of using gparted/kparted is also a good one. Another thing to keep in mind is that many cloning programs will clone the partition size as well, so you may need to use kparted when you're done to grow the partition to the larger microsd size.

I use a jsaux modcase instead of the included carrying case, it provides enough protection and fits better into my backpack for work. I've got a 3rd party ivoler dock I use for my TV, and 4 stadia controllers for docked play. Finally I have a walmart onn brand BT tablet keyboard and a trackball mouse that I can use while it's docked.

It probably will now that Spider Man 2 is out. GoW only started having sales below $20 once GoW Ragnarok was released.

But Spider Man 2 isn't going below $20 for years and years.

The included case is really nice and protects really well, but it's too big to fit into my backpack. I also like to have some protection when I just set my deck down on my nightstand or things like that.

I use a jsaux modcase as my main case now. It's reasonable well protected and can fit into my backpack much easier now.

This flipcase will be less protective than the modcase, but doesn't have a separate cover to keep up with, which will be very convenient.

That still seems like a wildly high buyout.

A lot of newer games have "story mode" or other accessibility options for an easy playthrough.

But yeah I really miss cheat codes, especially the wackier ones.

It may depend on the specific game, but I know people are specifically using the android version to run Roblox through a tool called sober.

Biggest reason may be bypassing anticheat. Some games (like roblox for example) have anticheat that doesn't work on linux, but you can run the android version. As long as the android version supports controllers it can be a decent enough deck experience.

SteamOS in game mode runs on wayland actually, because it's using gamescope which is a wayland compositor. My understanding is a lot of applications are still running as x11 and then using xwayland to run on gamescope though. I don't know if that can be manually bypassed to run directly on wayland or not.

Desktop mode is always using x11 though.

I've tried a bunch of apps, and Thunder is my favorite. I believe it's available for both iOS and Android.

I was a big fan of relay for Reddit, and thunder is the closest I've found.

Not a very convenient option, but you can try manually deleting the downloaded configs. According to this website, you can find your downloaded control configuration files at <steam folder>/userdata/<your user number>/241100/remote/controller_config. On steam deck, you can usually find your steam folder by showing hidden files in the file browser (click the 3 bar menu in the upper right for this option), then go to the hidden .steam folder in your home folder, and then follow the steam folder shortcut there.

To be fair, that's a 6 year old game. That's a pretty long time in terms of hardware progression, basically every home console generation (with the exception of the switch) has been 5-6 years long.

It's a UE5 game, as far as I know every UE5 game has rough performance, at least at launch. This one sounds better than most, but I'll probably wait a couple years until it's on sale and better optimized.

Lot of good games here, but I would like to personally recommend Full Metal Furies. It's by the devs behind rogue legacy, and is a great game. It also has some really cool puzzles later on, including some that are ARG-ish.

That's good to know, I've noticed reduced range with USB dongle devices, and that they don't work well unless I have direct line of sight to them (for example I have a wireless mouse that will work if my dock is turned backwards with the USB dongle facing me, but it has jerky cursor movement with the dock facing towards me.

I have a couple USB extenders around, I'll try this.

Can't have a UE5 game without spending a lot of time discussing performance.

My PC is pretty decent, but whenever I hear a game runs on UE5 I just figure I'll pick it up on sale in 5-10 years when I have newer hardware.

In Japan, the patents they filed for were "extensions" of existing older patents. The new patents "updated" the old patents and could be used as if they filed when the original patent was. So they were able to file patents after Palworld came out, and then sue as if the patents existed before Palworld. Seems like bullshit to me, but I'm not a lawyer.

I don't know if a similar mechanic can be used in the US patent system or not.
