  • A lot work, but some of those are with an asterisk.

    E.g., dyson sphere program, a factory game, is listed as playable. But, there's no steam cross-play - so you can't have the same save file on your PC and deck. And that game is computation heavy so I doubt if it would work well. Or Fez: I tried launching a few different ways, but it hard crashed. I'm sure there's some way to fix it, but I didn't bother to find out.

    All that being said, I haven't touched my gaming PC in months because the pause / resume feature is so convenient for getting gaming in, 15 minutes at a time.

  • Nah. It's super good. When your comp resets unexpectedly due to updates, all of the docs you were working on open back up. Extra important when a reset happens friday and you come in on monday. Even if the doc you were working on is located on an external drive that you're not currently connected to.

    For anyone that says to follow what IT tells me and to shut down all programs and the comp at end of day: no. That's what sleep is for.

  • related... There are now ac/heat pump mini split units that are set up to be linked directly to solar panel systems and run offgrid or with grid assist.
    This is great for a few reasons:

    1. solar radiance and need for cooling are related.
    2. if you hook directly to solar you don't need to convert AC current to DC and lose 10-20% of the energy.
    3. if you dont tie the system to the grid, you might be able to avoid the use induction effect. That is, installing air conditioning tends to make people use more grid energy.
    4. It also helps with adding solar capacity to people who have electrical issues in their house and can't get typical solar install, or who can't add more solar capacity due to net metering edicts by their utilities, or dont want to pull permits for electrical work.

    I've had my eye on a system from Airspool here in the US - should help with these warmer summers and help offset a little of the heating need in the winter too.

    I would look into a full central system - but I have a relatively new gas furnace and can't justify replacing it and dealing with all the required electrical work.
