I personally find it hilarious when people have slanderous conversations en español, thinking that none of the non-hispanic people in the vicinity understand them.
Están equivocados. Lo aprendí como segunda lengua cuando mi hermano se casó, y agregamos venezolanos a la familia lol.
It’s adorable that someone world think that the fourth most widely-spoken language on the planet is a secret code that no one in public would possibly have a hope of comprehending 😆
My personal target is 105% of the performing mark, when I’m in a churn and earn job somewhere that I don’t want to promote.
That wiggle room is enough to keep me above the performing mark if there are any productivity impactors outside of my control that my company refuses to adjust for (that has happened to me in jobs before), and it also keeps me off of bottom-performer lists when layoffs roll through. And it’s barely more than the bare minimum. Win / win / win.
You’re welcome! Though I’m genuinely bummed that it’s not 100% fully working for you.
One of the great things about the Deck is that we have essentially and functionally the same hardware and OS for our systems, so I was hoping that things like this just work the same for everyone… we don’t have the challenges of the rest of the PC community, where every single person is running a different configuration of parts. 🙂
I’m sorry to hear that you were having issues setting up the docking script!
Without seeing what you were doing, it’s kind of tough to know where the issue was. I know I personally don’t have to change anything with the resolution properties on mine to make it work, it still is set to Default for me. It’s my correct resolution so I don’t have to scroll anywhere, everything is exactly where it is in native (in fact I’m using it right now to access Firefox and be on Lemmy 🤗 )
Were you able to change the height and width numbers in the script to match your monitor? The example I posted above is what I use for my 2560 x 1440 monitor, but you’ll get a weird result if your resolution is something different and you don’t change it.
Update notes were like an encyclopedia of minor bug fixes and minor feature changes for things I’d never encountered or seen.
I’m like, sure I guess ¯\(ツ)/¯ and life goes on
Are you using the wireless dongle? Deck doesn’t seem to support it by default; when I looked into it, people had to do stuff through the console in order to make the dongle be picked up through the Deck.
I don’t have an xbox controller, so I can’t endorse what I found as being correct or safe… you have to give whatever it is system access, so be careful and look into it further so that you can make sure that you trust it.
But basically I just searched xbox 360 controller steam deck and reached reddit posts and YT videos covering it. If you decide to proceed, make sure you’re using current info, because apparently older methods expired when Steam OS went to 3.5… and maybe they did again going to 3.6, though I didn’t see that mentioned. Good luck!
You could argue that no one is ever truly remembered. Even people who are mentioned in history books and have their specific deeds remembered and preserved…
…within a couple of hundred years, there are no other humans left alive anywhere on the planet who personally knew said famous person. No one who knew them on any personal level, any more deeply that the handful of cold facts written down about them on record.
We are meant to be forgotten. Just another thing we have to come to terms with regarding our existence.
Not for low-vision people or older people who have issues with the smaller screen. Could be a solution if someone like that ended up with a Steam Deck and didn’t realize they’d have an issue with the smaller screen, and maybe they just have a spare travel monitor lying around.
Also there’s a contingent of people out there who just enjoy modifying stuff because they can. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
I considered doing this for a bit, but with the power and link cable requirements for the travel monitor, I decided against it. It was too much cordage in too small a space.
But glad it worked out for your needs OP!
What about a password type? Like the password has the same format, but is different for each site? Like if her birthday is May 25 and her favorite dog’s name is Bunny, she can start it with that and then finish it with a differing sentence?
0525BunnyThisIsMyAmazon! 0525BunnyThisIsMyBank!
, et cetera.
It’s not the most secure, but at least it should keep it from being brute forced and give her things she can easily remember. And if there’s a leak and they have to be changed, you can just change the front part.
Well sure, it’s not the hardware sales alone that’s doing it for Valve.
Stream Deck sales are just icing on their cake. They’re turning back flips when any PC handheld is sold (not just their own) because they know there’s a 95% chance that the purchaser of said handheld is going to stock most of, or all of, their games directly or indirectly through Steam.
Valve’s nailing down of, and further establishment and entrenching of the handheld PC market, and their work to help it to thrive regardless of manufacturer… it is just a genius move on their part to get more people funneled into their store.
The big three in the console world are also attempting this - Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft… but unlike them, Valve is doing it the right way, providing tons of value to consumers rather than restricting it. It’s definitely paid off for them.
Person who had an alcoholic / addict father here. Speaking from my experience in what I saw in his world growing up. Both him, and in his world of helping / sponsoring others during the last couple of decades of his life whilst sober and recovering.
For some people… an intervention can actually cause them to see the severity of the issue and be the catalyst for a motivation for wanting to change. It is a very small percentage, though, and it sounds like you’ve already tried or are already past that point.
Sadly, for the overwhelming majority, most alcoholics / addicts have to hit a rock-bottom epiphany experience (which will vary person by person) to get them truly into committing to recovery. Nothing that anyone else says to or does for them is going to flip that switch.
They have to flip that switch internally themselves. Once they do, they must also realize that every single day is going to be hard, and they will need to stay motivated.
My dad once told me that even after being sober for almost two decades, he still had somewhere between 3 and a dozen serious cravings a week that he had to work himself away from. It gets easier to talk yourself down over time, but… the brain wiring was changed in addiction, and the temptations themselves never go away. Staying sober is a life of constant vigilance. You have to be committed, forever.
Like for everyone afflicted, I hope your friend reaches that point sooner rather than later and moves into recovery. Best of luck to them.
Most frequent uses?
Voice typing when using decky dictation if I’m in web browser, or text chatting in Discord or an MMO or something.
Alternate inputs for stick-click functions, since I very much dislike clicking the sticks.
If you like FPS’s but also like a variety of mission types and being able to scale the difficulty, my suggestion is Deep Rock Galactic. Fantastic game… one of my friends and I play it every weekend. Takes about 30 minutes for the average two-player mission, up to maybe 45 at longest, so you can easily block out playtime.
Also, in general, regardless of what you’re playing… you don’t really need a LAN to play together, you can just friend each other on Steam and easily join each other’s games that way. Even if you’re both in your own residences, the voice chat tool in Steam is great for talking while playing games.
Before I thought of the glasses, I scoured the internet to see if anyone was selling something like this for the Deck, or if at least it could be 3d printed. Nothing out there that I found.
So could be a small business / side hustle idea for someone who could design and make them. Just tossing that out there.
When I’m using it handheld, my favorite accessory is a pair of 2x magnification reading glasses. Blows up the screen, and makes it very nice… super easy to see everything.
But I’m in my 40s with bad eyes, so YMMV.
I like it as an idea flow starter. I’ve used it to generate stuff like site profile logos (like my little ghost in baseball cap here) and screen savers. I’ve used it for minor tasks like coding Excel macros and such.
But would I say it’s a major life impactor? I’d have to say that even though it saves a little time here or there… no.
How did everyone die? Assuming that you were the rich person or the indentured servant of a rich person, it would depend on that for sure.
Was it a horrendous, highly contagious mega-pandemic that no one is immune to, and you survived because you billionaire-bunkered the moment that news reports started to hit? I’d think you could resurface sooner rather than later, and there will be places you can travel to that aren’t really contaminated by the dead (like places that had low population before the outbreak).
After a few years, you could branch out to wherever (not that any single place is really that much better than others in a nearly empty world), likely the plague will no longer be virulent among the dead. You could quickly carve out a decent life for yourself, though you’d better get self-sufficient fast, without the support structures of the old world being there to do everything for you.
But if it was nuclear apocalypse? You’re going to be bunkered for a long time, with little company. You’d likely end up envying the dead.
You’ll have no issues whatsoever.
The Deck has been my daily driver for a while now. I had an old laptop that bit the dust about a week before my LCD Deck arrived during launch a couple of years ago. I never bothered to replace it, instead I picked up a reasonably priced display and just moved over to the Deck. About 90% of my use has been docked as my main PC, and I absolutely love that it comes with me with built in display and controller when I’m traveling the other 10% of the time.
Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 again, after a several month hiatus from it. But this time I’m doing Honour Mode for the first time, currently working through Act I.
It’s tough! Especially early game. I decided for some hard-to-kill character builds, to try to avoid team wipes.
Playing as Gale, target build is Drac Sorc (Cold) 1, Abj Wiz 11, specced on INT. Idea is to get utility cantrips, scales, and Armor of Ag from sorcerer, everything else goes into making Gale an Arcane Ward tank. He sprints into melee combat, the enemies kill themselves on the Armor of Ag retaliation when they hit him, rinse and repeat as much as needed.
Also having Karlach be the BarBearian, taking half damage from everything as she rages, and healing with that heal mace you pick up in Act 1 every time she clocks someone with it. It’s working well so far, hopefully it stays viable as the game goes on.
