Has anyone made a Steam Machine teardown video? I wanna see how this thing is built. All I’ve seen is that there’s a bunch of hardware basically clipping through a giant heatsink. Has anyone disassembled it further than that in a video?
I know the RAM is technically upgradeable, has any video shown how to access it?
(I did watch the whole GN video but I wasn’t paying full attention so maybe they showed it and I missed it)
They still might. After the buyers are selected in the raffle, they might have the chance to state a preference before the order is finalized.
hey chatbot make me a comic whose sole purpose is to enduce rage
… what?
Is there anything I’m missing here? There’s no joke or twist or anything. Is it just world building? (Admittedly I haven’t paid too much attention to your previous Addams Family posts so maybe this is just how they always are)
Help out a Deck newbie. I’m on the beta channel, so:
No, you’re 100% right. The only reason it’s this way is this: https://pikuma.com/blog/origins-of-vim-text-editor
These literally were the arrow keys on the machine that vim was originally developed on.
No, they meant that literally https://esolangs.org/wiki/I_use_Arch_btw
Oh, I see, you’re essentially saying that the picture should have had the keyboard upside down to complete the joke. Gotcha.
(FWIW I didn’t downvote)
Genuinely can’t tell if you’re missing the joke or you’re just committed to playing the straight man.
I’m actually disappointed this isn’t a real package. https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=btw
Linux newbies shouldn’t use Arch imho
Uhh but it’s clearly not though?
I forgot to mention. Turns out PWAsForFirefox doesn’t work at all with the Flatpak version of Firefox https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/issues/142 so the whole question is moot. The project’s dev seems to be actively involved in making that possible though. I guess I’ll live without nice web-apps on the steam deck for now, it’s not a deal breaker.
It’s genuinely funny, I don’t know what more you want. (I don’t consider myself a frontend dev fwiw)
the suspend mode is fantastic and there’s little reason to ever do a full shutdown or reboot in my experience.
Thank you, that’s quite useful to know!
Slightly off-topic but you reminded me. Have you tried using Steam Deck as a “Steam Controller” for PC? I did look up an article on that once and at first glance it seemed to involve a bunch of caveats. Haven’t tried it properly yet.
Precisely! I like to describe it as: a portable external monitor, in the shape of a laptop, with a built-in keyboard and trackpad.
Many Android phones support a desktop mode when connected to an external monitor. Most notably Samsung’s higher-end phones, and they call this feature Samsung DeX. Lapdocks are perfect to make use of this functionality.
NexDock is a more reputable brand that makes high-quality lapdocks. Uperfect is another, but I get the feeling they don’t care as much about making good usable products, and instead just want to maximize their specs for marketability.
ELECROW, I never heard of before and it looks like chinesium, but it’s the only lapdock I found that actually ships to me so that’s what I ordered. Should arrive in a couple of weeks.
I use it on Linux Mint, the biggest issue I have with it is external links:
https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager#how-to-open-links-in-my-main-browser
How to open links in my main browser?
For Firefox, all links are always opened within the WebApp, either directly or using a new tab. To open a link in your main browser, right-click anywhere, select
Copy link locationand paste the link in your main browser.
Really annoying. PWAs For Firefox fixes it, you just gotta change a setting.
Interesting. I haven’t found it, but I did just spot the pinned comment in under the Gamers Nexus video: “TEAR-DOWN coming up next!” So I guess I’ll just wait for that :)
