I mean it’s not that complicated of a problem, I’ve had micro USB cables do the same thing to me back in the day. It seems like the specifications are pretty clear 🤷‍♂️

Yeah the cable has problems, but it’s what we’ve settled on, and personally I’m thrilled to only have one wire to charge everything. I won’t buy things that don’t use USB C. And if I do? I’ll convert them.

Barrel jacks have a lot going for them, but they are far from perfect themselves. What size is it? The OD is right but the ID is wrong. Polarity?

At least with USB C if I buy a good quality set of cables and a beefy charger, I can charge almost anything.

The data specifications are a whole other beast, but we’re talking power.

Edit: added link

The device is aware of the connector temperature specifically?

Battery monitoring, sure, but I wasn’t aware connector monitoring, at least as a standard practice in phones etc

After some research, apparently its closest comparison is pisco yes.

It seems like an agave spirit vs tequila, or sparkling wine vs champagne, situation. It’s a pisco, but the location makes the specific flavor, and so you can’t legally make singani elsewhere than Tarija Bolivia.

I’ve only had pisco mixed in drinks, never bought and tried any on its own, so I can’t compare personally. But I can say that singani tasted really unique and delicious to me, enough that I decided to make room in my luggage so I could share it with friends at home. Before I knew that Singani63 was literally a re-label of the same stuff I brought home 🤦‍♂️

Interesting! Thanks, I’ll report back 👍

Thanks! Sorry I admit I was in a rush 😬

Edit: Also my apologies for the late reply, I was on holiday, which was surprisingly quite busy 😅

It’s an interesting trend these days, people wearing headphones and earbuds everywhere they go.

It’s not my preference, and I get that it’s a personal choice.

I agree there are definitely times where it makes sense, alone at the gym for example.

But I see groups of kids walking around, most of them with at least one or both headphones/earbuds on/in, and I’m like, what are you listening to? I can’t imagine doing that.

But obviously some people like it, it’s just not me 🤷‍♂️

It’s funny, my brain scanned right over that, I could’ve sworn he said crumple because I expected crumple

Oh man, I’m gonna look into this. I’m currently running Bluefin, but maybe I’ll pivot over to Aurora 🤔

Thanks!

Oh man I forgot about this! How long has it been dead? Why does no one want this?

I had this running on Ubuntu on my laptop back in the day

Yeah I preordered for sure

Right?

I get it, more frames more better, and I agree.

But I don’t expect the steam deck to be a super performance machine. And personally, I am not that affected by 30fps. Below 30 it does start to bother me, and above 30 is significantly smoother.

I’m currently playing through HFW, and I can average about 40, it drops to 30 at times, and occasionally dips below, but by and large I’m very happy with it.

IIRC it’s glued in, and there might be other barriers beyond that

IDK about non issue. I have a framework laptop, and even though the battery is very easily replaceable, I still set the charge limit to 80%.

I don’t require the extra charge the majority of the time, and now I don’t have to worry about replacing my battery for a much longer period of time.

Though I agree, for as serviceable as the steam deck is, a little more attention could’ve been paid to the battery situation.

Glad you found it! I left mine somewhere while traveling for work. It’s gone gone. I replaced it 🥴

This hits HARD. I was so stupid.

Instead of defragmenting my drive, I’d want to fragment it, just to watch that thing dance

I would bet the number is extremely high. I’ve done all these things.

Thanks for this, but I apologize, I’m still confused.

You’ve described fixed gear, and geared, I think we now agree as to what these are.

But what is a single speed bike? I’ve never heard of it. Is it a geared bike, with only one gear, but still has a tensioner? So it can’t have hub brakes? Why would such a thing exist?

I had to skip 3, two would dox me, one was a private Google doc.

Good to know lol, thanks
