It was always my understanding that they detected carbon dioxide we exhaled. This is the first I’ve heard about infrared.

There was a time when they did try to listen. Since 11 was being imagined, it all was downhill. I used to work for them and all messaging changed once 11 was being worked on

I’m fairly in tune with my privacy but didn’t even know about this one. I assumed I had disabled all this when I setup my phone.

At least one of those has come true. Frozen water has 100% been confirmed on Mars.

Now, the wishful part this year is liquid water being detected underground by seismometers (sp?)

Kind of like cpus and gpus perform radically different depending on what’s fed into it.

Yall excited for this, but all our balls are full of microplastics.

Dual boot this…and I may have the perfect device.

We say that about every tech capacity. No way anyone could ever use more than 1.44mb, oh man 2mb ram will be all I ever need etc.

I made the same statement you did a while ago about having to tweak stuff to get it to work. I just don’t have the time and patience to do it, and I got voted down for saying Linux isn’t for me. I work tech, the last thing I want to do when I get home is mess with more settings and drivers etc.

The Linux and steamdeck forums EVERYWHERE constantly make apologies and excuses for having to tweak things to get gaming to work.

I just want Linux to be an out of the box great gaming experience, and I would sing to the rafters it’s praise. It just isn’t, and unless developers make their stuff work for 3-5% of an install base, I just don’t see it happening. I want it to, I really do, but it’s just not for the masses.

Yeah, how dare they have fun playing a game they want.

When I read Paxton, I knew it wouldn’t be good for the people

Guess I’m either stocking up a couple extra 502 mice now, or I need to find a new mouse. I’m not looking forward to trying to find a new mouse, the 502 is perfect in my hand.

I know there are working ones, unfortunately all but overwatch don’t work from current games I play.

This was all in response to why anyone would choose a windows machine. I’m a use case that needs windows. I don’t love that I do, but it is what it is.

If you want to play anything with anticheat, you can’t on a steamdeck. And gamepass was my number one reason to not get a steamdeck. I play Xbox too, I might as well get the most bang for my buck if I already subscribe.

I specifically did so I can use any game service beyond Steam without hacking stuff. I know I can turn on my Ally and use Steam, Gamepass, roms, sail the high seas, virtually anything, out of the box.

My Ally didn’t have any bloat. Curious which ones do.

Twice I have come across links to lemmy, definitely not the norm though.

Damn. First Asus did weird things, now MSI?

What are legit brands these days?

Are you me? I’ve been thinking of trading my Switch for one. Stardew is easily my most played game on it.
