Being a rapist doesn't even need a qualifier, you're a piece of shit regardless.

I don't think the Deck HD is ideal as UI scaling is also off with the Deck's UI (unless Valve also supports 150% fractional scaling with their update), but battery life would only be affected in a meaningful way when the game is actually rendered in a higher resolution.

Having a higher resolution target for upscaling with FSR(2) can lead to (slightly) improved image quality even with the same internal resolution and obviously sharper UI. 2D games should look great with the higher pixel density (though at the cost of battery life in this case).

From their own FAQ:

We ran both SD's on GTA V single player mode with a FPS cap at 30 starting from 100% charge. Both SD's had the same brightness level and resolution (800p). The testing duration lasted just under 3 hours when DeckHD's SD turned off when the original SD had 3% battery left.

So just having more pixels to render the UI with or whatever doesn't really change much. 3% is within margin of error.

I doubt it's possible to fit a smaller-bezel screen in the LCD's case.

The touch screen is supposedly a lot better and the color reproduction obviously is as well.

If you need a replacement anyway, I don't see why you shouldn't get a better replacement for a similar price to the original anti-glare screen, especially now that Valve starts "officially" supporting it. If you're looking for a bigger upgrade instead of a replacement because you need a repair, selling your working LCD Deck and upgrading to the OLED model is probably the better option.

I meant more as a replacement option if your original screen is already broken.

I have an Intel Arc A750 lying around that I used at the end of last year to test whether a specific problem I was having under Linux was related to NVIDIA or something else. The answer was NVIDIA basically all of the time, but keep in mind this was around the 535 driver version.

I didn't really test the Intel GPU long enough to tell you whether I'd recommend it. It worked well out of the box, but I'm not sure whether some of the game compatibility problems under Windows mirror over to Linux.

What was very cool when I was A-B testing some of the issues I had with the AMD card though, is that you can simply shut down the computer, swap the cards and it'll boot up just fine right away. No driver installs needed as the kernel just includes it - no driver conflicts either. With NVIDIA, the driver can have conflicts when using a card by a different vendor.

Also, so far the flicker/crash issue I had under KDE didn't happen under GNOME (with experimental VRR enabled). It's too early to tell (only about a week into using GNOME), but this issue might not occur under GNOME. It's kind of hard to pinpoint what the issue is related to anyway (kernel, firmware, Wayland, KDE/desktop environment, etc.).

I reported the issue here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3268 and pinpointed it to weird fluctuations with the memory frequency. Just workaround so far though, no fix.

While replacing the display is quite complex in comparison to other repairs on the Deck, you may as well get this display should yours break for some reason.

Makes absolute sense. Brand new chips rarely showed problems instantly, it took a few months time. The CPUs have been out for a while and only recently these problems surfaced.

Replace or refund them no questions asked, Intel.

X11 or Wayland?

Try disabling the Steam overlay.

Not FOSS, but a library/archive: https://annas-archive.org/torrents

Popular Linux ISOs are usually mirrored across a lot of mirrors (duh), so availability is already very good.

Torrent clients are usually smart enough to decide what the best seeders are to get the best possible availability and throughput.

OP seeding at 16 KB/s to some peers might also just mean that the leecher's bandwidth is mostly saturated by other peers so they don't need that much bandwidth from OP.

I love Helix. I like that it pretty much works out of the box and the only thing you have to do is install language servers and in some cases configure them, but that's (mostly) well documented. No need to install plugins or use a preset "distribution" like with NeoVim. I also like the built-in keyboard shortcut hints, for example when you press g (goto) it shows you what key will do what.

The way Helix does "select first, then act" is subjective, but I like it.

Valid point, I'm just telling you how it works. To my knowledge, there's no setting to make your phone play a sound/vibrate while wearing your watch. Maybe if you turn off notifications entirely on the Watch for each app, but I haven't tried.

I have yet to see a good implementation of Secure Boot, and that's just from a user interface standpoint.

How can I check which keys are installed in the EFI/BIOS UI? And then delete a specific key? I only ever saw options like "reset to factory settings".

Factory settings are just Microsoft's keys most of the time, and often there's no way to delete/not trust Microsoft's keys.

The whole system is way too intransparent. May as well turn it off.

This. Even I would be too paranoid to keep using a phone (or other device for that matter) that the police confiscated before.

Interesting that they launch Fortnite in other alternative iOS stores as well.

I don't like Epic particularly as they are the giant corpo which cries to the public when other giant corpos disagree with them, but still, that's an interesting move.

Same (in some situations). I feel like searching for "how to do X?", where X is a simple problem or knowledge, more often than not the classic search results are linking to articles that are way too long and talk around the solution way too much before actually getting to it (if at all).

Sure, I don't trust the AI responses for critical stuff, but I honestly rarely trust a random blog article either.

Works fine with OBS Studio (Flathub) for example.

Add a "Screen Capture (PipeWire)" source and a window should pop up asking for which screen or application window you want to capture.

Works with KDE and GNOME, not sure about other desktop environments.

BIOS/EFI updates have shown up on my ThinkPad T490 under Fedora, and I think Framework supports this feature as well with their devices.

The way you're supposed to know is that your watch plays a sound/vibrates.

They should still appear on your iPhone even when wearing the Apple Watch, but I don't think the iPhone will vibrate/play a sound. It will however when you're not wearing your watch.

What, sending bitcoin? That's not really a feature of Proton Mail, rather it's a feature of the wallet that happens to be able to send bitcoin via email (I suppose so that the recipient can then transfer the funds to a bitcoin address of their choice unless their email address is already linked to Proton Wallet).

Even if you'd consider this a feature of Proton Mail, how does this have higher priority than a proper iPad/tablet app, or the ability to add a .ics attachment directly to my (default, non-Proton) calendar without having to manually download the .ics file, open it with a file manager and then add it to the calendar? Filtered views (for example: view unread and starred messages but nothing else in one list)? A somewhat usable offline mode? The list goes on, and that's just Proton Mail. Proton Drive still lacks a native Linux app (I know there's "support" for Proton Drive in rclone, but that's hacked together because Proton doesn't even provide official API documentation and stability commitments).

I'd rather pay for the individual services that I can actually (somewhat) use, like Mail (even though it's not great), but their Mail only tier severely lacks in features (only 1 custom email domain is my main problem). If they'd then commit the financial resources towards improving the service being paid for, that'd be great.
