The Steam Deck's controller is usable without Steam running, except for that long, looong pause when Steam has taken over the controller but isn't doing anything about it yet.

I wish that Steam would not put the mouse buttons on the triggers, just leave them on the trackpad-click. And put "high res trackpad scrolling" on the left pad. But you can't have everything.

Sony is going to have to invent a new "shittier than SD and ten times as expensive" memory card format first.

The Vita already proved how serious Sony is about the handheld market. "Someday, we're going to make a system that is ten times as powerful as the Steam Deck and runs for a week on a single charge". The only purpose of making such a nothingburger announcement is to try to Osbourne Effect the rest of the handheld market.

If it was your only copy, then it wasn't a backup.

Not a dumb question, I have seen my Deck carry some weird bugs across a reboot. I don't even bother with the reboot command anymore, it takes about the same time to shut down and turn back on.

AMD should stop making Intel chips unalive themselves with overvoltage transients. It is terribly rude.

At least Windows has more precise monitoring, it will tell you whether the process is "Windows Telemetry" or "SVCHOST.EXE".

The OOM killer always, invariably starts off with killing the display server. Any side effects such as "the notification daemon loses its connection and closes" or "every single thing that you were working on loses its connection and closes" is incidental.

I have an early Deck, so I know that pulling the battery* is going to be a huge pita.

*without setting it and myself on fire.

I don't need any special advances in batteries, I just need "it's possible to replace them" and "it's possible to get them".

Anybody that claims to know what they're doing with grub is a fool or a liar.
