Welp I will once again try for Hogwarts Legacy.

As for a meme, this isn’t mine and it’s kinda old but it really managed to stick in my head:

Thank You very much for this giveaway and your work moderating this community!

If the main battery isn’t “meant to be replaced”, it will often act as the CMOS battery (e.g. MacBooks have been doing this since roughly 2008).

Push Notifications don’t really exist for Lemmy yet, as they aren’t supported in the backend currently:

As someone else here said, your best bet is probably monitoring your Inbox RSS feed.

Quite a few cars also still have a SIM card hidden somewhere, which can be removed. The location of it varies widely though and they’re usually pretty hard to find.

Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

TVHeadend is the way, I’ve been running it with a USB satellite tuner for 5+ years. Setting it up can be a little confusing, but once it’s running you pretty much never have to touch it again.

As for clients, there’s a Jellyfin plugin, however it seems to not work for me right now.

My client of choice is Kodi with the TVHeadend plugin, and that works great. If you still want Jellyfin integration, you could just add your recordings folder as a library in Jellyfin.

Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs?

I don’t quite remember the source for this, but I believe I read some time ago that it’s actually a good thing to have separate drives. The reasoning is, if you buy two identical drives (at the same time), the likelyhood of both drives failing around the same time is severely higher.

This is then amplified by the fact that rebuilding a RAID puts a lot of strain on the non-dead drive, so if ie. drive 1 dies and drive 2 is about to die, the strain you put on drive 2 in order to rebuild your RAID onto drive 3 might kill drive 2 before you even finish rebuilding your RAID.

Again, this is just from my memory, it might be worth doing some more research on.

I’d assume it won’t, you can always just test it out though. There might be some setting for those timeouts in the Steam-steamdeck settings.

I haven’t done this myself, but I assume you can turn off the display in Desktop Mode. I assume somewhere in the “normal” Linux settings there will be the usual Turn Screen Off after … and Go To Sleep after … You could just set the screen to turn off after 5 mins, then set sleep to never and that should do it.

+1 for kid3

Check my edited comment, I’m pretty certain my limit was wrong.

• Bloons TD 6: this plays great on the deck, especially with the touchscreen
• Euro Truck Simulator 2: mostly just got it as it was super cheap and I saw some of my friends already have it
• Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy: looked super fun when I saw my friends play, but I don’t really like the controls on the deck

For anyone looking for some other nice games for the deck, I can heavily recommend:

• Stray
• Dave The Diver
• Celeste

I got Euro Truck Simulator aswell, for the same reason lol

I assume the tablet gets its video through standard HDMI/DP over USB-C, hence a USB-A to C adapter wouldn’t work.

If you still want to use the tablet with the official dock, there may be HDMI+USB -> USB-C adapters capable of inserting the HDMI signal into the USB-C connection. I’m not too knowledgeable on this topic, so you may want to resort to some more research of your own.

Also keep in mind (as far as I’m aware) there’s a hard limit on 2 external monitors, unless you use some “trickery” like DisplayLink.

Edit: I’ve done a bit more research and I’m pretty sure that more than 2 monitors are supported. There are two limiting factors here:

1. The GPU in the Steamdeck (custom APU which I didn’t directly find a spec sheet for), will typically have a max of 2-4 displays
2. The physical connection, AFAIK as the Steamdeck only has one USB-C port, this means it has one DisplayPort 1.4 link available. This link can be divided into multiple video streams. I couldn’t find a table for DisplayPort 1.4, but this website has one for DisplayPort 1.2, suggesting you should be able to run four 1080p60 signals at the very minimum.

Now with all this information, as long as your Steamdeck can output to any three screens (ie. two external ones and the internal steamdeck screen), it should also be possible to output three 1080p60 signals to external monitors.

Hm there must be some other problem on your end then. Doing a clean reinstall of Yuzu EA 4176 and then using the newest keys, firmware and update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should pretty certainly fix it.

It runs great for me on Steamdeck, with the Yuzu EA 4176 AppImage, firmware/keys version 18.0.0, MK8 Deluxe NSP + Update 3.0.1 + DLC.

The latest yuzu version has a bug with Mariokart multiplayer (I believe this is the one that you’re referencing). It can easily be avoided by pressing L+R on the first screen with any controller that isn’t Player 1.

Same! I’m lowkey tempted to get a fancy one now, but deep down I know it just isn’t worth it.

Not quite, it stands for Quantum-Dot: https://www.samsungdisplay.com/eng/tech/quantum-dot.jsp

I bought an LG TV, connected it to the internet once to download Jellyfin, blocked internet access directly after.

If you’re cool with connecting it to the internet once, I’d recommend LG, the Magic Remote is light years ahead of the competition.

Other than that, just get any OLED TV and don’t give it internet access (or one of the new QD-OLEDs if you have the money for it).

Yes, but as you say, they have a good privacy policy. Also their revenue model backs up their privacy policy, and I find their reasoning as to why they aren’t FOSS fair:

Will Magic Earth be Open Source?

No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.
