  1. This keyboard designed for Steam Deck and othe PC handhelds. https://invensic.com/collections/steam-deck/products/decktop-steam-deck-keyboard-accessory The annoying part is, because its name is "Decktop" web browsers assume you actually mean to say is "Desktop", so it's a royal pain to search for reviews for this.
  2. So the great thing about linux is that it is infinitely cutomizable. If someone hasn't made what you want, you can make it yourself. I've got an htpc project I'm working on. I've found that Steam deck ui+emudeck is great for native steam games and emulation, while kodi media player is great for local movies and music. Both of these are obviously available regardless of what distro you decide to use. If you have any major multiplayer games you plan to play, your probably better using Windows. Many AAA developers are either too lazy to implement linux support, or actively choose to prevent functionality on linux. Aside from that, I'd suggest using a linux distro that uses KDE if you're familiar with windows. KDE Plasma looks and functions a lot like Windows, without having the bloat or restrictions that Windows has. Either Kubuntu or GloriousEggroll's Nobara OS. https://kubuntu.org/ https://nobaraproject.org/
  3. Ah. I guess I should've listed some of these gaming distros. Manjaro, an arch-based distro considered optimized for gaming https://manjaro.org/ Chimera os, gained popularity after the release of the Steam Deck https://chimeraos.org/ Garuda os, another gaming distro I donxt know much about https://garudalinux.org/ Batocera, a distro intended for retro gaming and emulation https://batocera.org/ And the most recently popular Nobara linux, created by the brilliant but oddly named GloriousEggroll, developer of ProtonGE. https://nobaraproject.org/
  4. So for a followup on testing distros, I'd like you to go through as many gaming distros as you can. (and see how long it takes for linus to break them.) Also, not a distro itself, but an application that the linux login shell recognizes as a viable desktop environment. Kodi is a program designed to organize local media on your computer. Its default theme is perfectly designed for gamepads and remotes, while still being usable with mouse and keyboard.
  5. Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max (256 GB) - Natural Titanium | [Locked] | Boost Infinite plan required starting at $60/mo. | Unlimited Wireless | No trade-in needed to start | Get the latest iPhone every year https://a.co/d/72frDYA Am I missing something? What's the catch? Did these people just ho defunct and is dumping their stock?
  6. So for those of you who haven't seen the Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League, it's pretty much a conpletely different movie from the one we initially got. So I'd like to know if there are any other Director's cuts that are so different as to be considered different movies entirely. To be clear, I'm not including extended editions like the lord of the rings and the hobbit. Those movies still retain the same plot of the theatrical release, and so don't qualify. I've found two others besides the Zack snyder cut. The first is Superman 2: the Richard Donner Cut. Oddly enough, also occured in a DC movie. The other is the 1986 american adaptation of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, renamed to Warriors of the Wind. How amny of you have heard of these movies, and can anyone think of any more movies that would make the list?
  7. So I decided to try out Youtube's auto-generated captions. They are terrible. So both as a potential video topic and a way to improve all the LTT channels, I'd like Linus to look into Subtitle editing software and adding premade subtitles to his video library. PS. This is not a joke. I hate thisbleeping holiday.
  8. So here's this link https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.kidsinstaller&cId=000005755099 I haven't found a comprehensive video on these kids mode apps and launchers, so I'm asking Linus to try it out, because, as I understand it, he has kids to test it out on (that sounds terrible) and, by giving this and other kids mode apps to his kids, just see how fast his kids can break out of the closed sandbox and access content that is less than kid-friendly
  9. So it would be nice to see a video on this, but for now I just want an answer. If I create an external Steam Drive and set it up next to my TV, could multiple devices using multiple steam accounts all use the games installed on said drive? Would games installed but not purchased be recognized?
  10. Everyone knows that the switch doesn't even come close to matching the capabilities of current-gen hardware, or even last gen hardware. So why is everyone making this comparison knowing full-well that ps5 and xbox s/x is going to blow the switch out of the water? I'm looking for a better comparison. Namely, arkham trilogy on Steam Deck compared to Switch. And nobody's done it yet. Why not? Both are portable systems targeting more or less the same market. Even if the Steam Deck is more than double the price of Switch, it's still a far more valid comparison than a large console or top of the line gaming pc that can't leave the spot you set it up. Ok, after all that, here's what I found. Steam deck can play Asylum and city at a locked 60 with high settings. knight you'll need to either lock it at 30 with high settings or low with inconsistent 60. It's still better than Switch.
  11. The specific trend I don't like is not having Nything available on local storage. When you have DRM-Free music and movie files, it's only a difference in storage medium, and even mechanical hard drives are more durable than DVDs (although I wouldn't recommend testing their durability for a number of reasons. Not sure what would happen if there was a breach in a helium-filled drive.) The problem is nowadays there aren't any legitimate ways to download music and movies. Everyone wants to move to streaming, and there are far too many failure points for my liking for streaming to completely replace local copies. If your internet at home fails for any reason, you can't watch any of your movies or listen to any of your music. Here's just a short list of the failure points that could break your access to streaming 1. The wifi or ethernet in your system breaks, either from software or hardware issues. (That's 2 each depending on how you get your internet.) 2. Your router could fail. 3. Your router's software could fail. 4. Your ethernet cable breaks (for whatever reason.) 5. Your modem fails. 6. Satellite exclusive: the weather disrupts your internet connection. 7. Your house loses power. 8. Your ISP experiences technical difficulties. 9. Your streaming service goes down. 10. Your content is removed due to licensing issues. (Darnit, Discovery!) If you want to avoid any of these problems, well, your legitimate options are extremely limited. You could rip your own DVDs, but most of these companies see that as no better than piracy. And besides, downloading movies and music is way easier and doesn't require a disc drive.
  12. Looking to sell my old gaming laptop. Asus Tuf fx505dy Ryzen 5 3550h Rx560x dGPU 1TB samsung ssd 2TB HDD 2x8GB Ram Good condition aside from the power brick. That thing is usable but I don't like the look of mildly exposed copper wire in one spot. Amazon currently has the computer with stock hardware (256GB POS* sn520 storage, 8GB RAM) for $799. Ebay is...weird. they range from $500 to $700 for the whole thing, but again with that stock ssd. I think I could probably get $1000 for it. My mom thinks it's only worth $200, but also exclusively uses old macbooks and thinks switching out hardware on a laptop is a waste of money. *from what I've read, WD decided to run the stock ssd at a higher frequency than normal ssds without telling the software provider. This means the stock drive will cause the computer to randomly freeze, forcing a hard reboot. It also prevents any and all aftermarket os installations.
  13. I'm wondering if any of you have heard of a website called jlcpcb. https://jlcpcb.com/ From what I can see, you can have your own pcb custom printed. Now the question is, can you get a completely custom pc motherboard.
  14. Despite the small size, the copyrigt text at the bottom is actually legible. So how big are these tiny windows. The game displayed is the pokemon super gold 97 rom hack, a recreation of the 1997 Nintendo Spaceworld demo.
  15. Just for fun, I decided to see how gameboy and gameboy advance games would look running at their original resolution on my phone, so using wikipedia to find out the exact pixel size of the gameboy and gameboy advance screens. Here's what I got.
