I just checked the games on ProtonDB. Two games are Platinum are one is silver/gold. Essentially very less tinkering.
Steam Deck compatibility is usually very conservative so even though it says incompatible, it will probably work. Nowadays, I just check if the game has some weird DRM or anticheat, otherwise it just works.

This explains why Windows laptops just randomly start spinning their fans. Random energy consumption -> heat production increased -> fan spins

HL3 is going to be launched with Valve’s brain chip.
They don’t even have to make the game. The chip will convince you that you have already played the game and it’s the best game ever.

I had almost no driving experience. And I learnt driving a manual in 10 lessons (30 min each). So depending on how much time you have, you can think about learning. Do mind that it will be frustrating initially.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
I remember a social media platform where each user had a thread specific ID “curious rabbit/astonished baboon”, and users can discuss anything without any fear. The moment you created a new thread or participate in a new thread, your ID changed. I think it fizzled out eventually, but the concept was interesting.

Centralization issue. However, it can never be as bad as Reddit.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
This is a habit that prevalent everywhere, even on reddit. Only 20 or even 10 % of people produce content and rest just watch/consume. If we can have that kind of split on lemmy, it would be fine.

Nooooo. If you do that, you won’t be paying for Teams Premium which has built in support for screen recording. Think of the revenue lost 😭😭

These people have been stealing our pixels for so long. Have you seen how much China has been stealing? There memes are twice as large as ours. But everyone has been crying to me “Sir, but pixies aren’t real.” THEY ARE REAL!. My uncle has seen pixies. He was very smart, the smartest person I know perhaps. So from tomorrow, the pixel tariffs are being launched. Or pixies. I don’t know, doesn’t matter.

- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 4 weeks ago:
As per the article
on my own network a whopping 66.6% of all traffic is blocked
I stated it’s actually 66.6% DNS requests being blocked, not the raw bandwidth utilization. Raw bandwidth savings (by not downloading the non-zero ads) would be much lesser.
Can’t we be nicer on the internet?
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 4 weeks ago:
Correct. The payload of DNS requests is tiny compared to, say requesting a webpage. So there might not be a huge decrease of bandwidth usage reduction. However, having 66.6% less DNS requests is still a win. The router/gateway doesn’t have to work that hard because of the dropped requests.

- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 5 weeks ago:
It takes 7+ years to bring a new factory online. more to get all the kinks worked out and at full production
Not to take away from your point but they also have to
- product is at par with the previous alternative in terms of quality
- your supply chain is willing to shift to your new product
- healthy supply of workers OR
- good automation in your production line (automation supply should also be sourced from within the country)
Once you have created this factory (which needs to be subsidized by the government in order to compete with the foreign product), we then apply targeted tarrifs so that people can slowly shift to the homegrown product. Doing all this can takes decades of careful planning.
Tarrif is not an ON/OFF switch which Trump thinks
