Another big factor with the OLED deck is that it gets significantly more battery life. Especially in less demanding games, you can get 2x or even 3x the battery life of the LCD version (cries in LCD deck).

As for storage size, if you're comfortable replacing the internal M.2 SSD, I believe you can save a bit of money there by buying the smallest size model (+ you get a bonus smaller SSD which can be nice for some projects). There is an ifixit guide for it.

If you're not up for that and still want to save money, the micro SD card support is supposed to really good and practically indistinguishable from the internal SSD from what I've heard, but I haven't yet tried it myself.

I almost walked into traffic in England once, a friend had to pull me back. Scary stuff.

As they said (at least on their Discord server), EmuDeck won't be deleting your yuzu.

Now that yuzu is dead anyway, I went ahead and replaced my mainline build with the latest early access build from Pineapple EA (afaik the repo is just some guy who compiled yuzu whenever there was a new early access build or something like that).

If you want to do that too, the AppImage should be in /home/deck/Applications, you just have to make sure the new one has the exact same name as the old one and that the new one is executable. Or you could also backup the yuzu AppImage from there if you're paranoid.

I believe this app also works without root (at least for screen rotation, it seems to just need permissions given from adb).

Also apparently Android has a Notification History, which can be shown with the Notification History tile from this app, which is amazing. I always thought that feature was just a pipe dream.

Here's the relevant comment on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/242550/discussions/0/3647273545686004759/#c1642052612837096572

Have you tried HeliBoard yet? It's a newish fork of openboard and has support for glide-typing.

Yes, you just might need to download the apk for them as there may be no app store installed.

If you're ok with using your tablet as a drawing tablet with your PC, I use an app called Virtual Tablet for that. Sadly it appears to be Windows and MacOS only, but a quick search led to Weylus. I have no idea how well this works and never tried it, but from the readme it sounds pretty good.

I use an app called FreeTube, I believe it uses Piped in some way and integrates SponsorBlock and DeArrow. You can install it through Discover and then add it to your Steam Library and use it in game mode (works best with the Web browser Steam Input config).

I really enjoyed Dave the Diver on my deck, I'm only 9h in but didn't play for a while due to lack of time.

Another one that isn't really my thing but uses practically no battery is Minecraft through PrismLauncher (I don't like playing Minecraft on controller).

And some other games from my library that play nicely on deck, some might take a little bit more power:

• Celeste
• Geometry Dash (especially with the new platformer levels)
• Hue (might be a bit boring, I got it for free)
• Pole (might be a bit frustrating, I got it for free)
• Rayman Legends (there's a certain patch to make it run without uplay)
• Stardew Valley
• Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
• Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
• Undertale

It'll be a collab with HP!

If you know yoyr criteria you could try the Phone Finder on https://www.gsmarena.com/

I'm in the same boat with my Reverb G2...

I believe Matrix doesn't have nearly as strong (if any) metadata encryption as Signal

As @CondorWonder@lemmy.ca already mentioned, I would recommend using a new automation for the action. Here is a simple example from my setup:

    
alias: Notification Action - Disable Theater Mode
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
    event_data:
      action: THEATER_MODE_OFF
condition: []
action:
  - service: input_boolean.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: input_boolean.theater_mode
mode: single

  

Your link doesn't work, but I still found what you mean. I think at that point I'd probably look into the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter or something similar instead, as Miracast on Linux actually works quite well with GNOME Network Displays. But my current goal is not having to connect any additional hardware to the projector, so I will be looking into pyatv for now.

I can't find any "funtax" user in the linked openairplay repo, but it appears that I have completely missed pyatv's ability to stream video. As long as it can stream video I think I can make it do screen mirroring too. Thank you very much, I will be looking into pyatv now!

I use Transistor for internet radio, but I imagine it should work for your use case too.

For dealing with .docx files I would recommend OnlyOffice. It's a FOSS office suite, but unlike LibreOffice, it uses the .docx format natively.

I read a comment about this a while ago, but basically under the hood LibreOffice does everything in .odt etc. and it has to convert the files first, which can lead to the format breaking. The same goes for OnlyOffice and .odt files, as it only uses .docx etc. under the hood.

Mann I remember my M8. I still use it as an IR remote sometimes. Sadly the battery is pretty much completely dead so I can't really use it for anything else.
