I like Linux better

All the other reasons don't really matter.

Placing my bets on it being a mistake or flatout lies.

But hoping for real and reproducible

You have a few choices:

  1. You can join other instances
  2. Don't be a dick
  3. Keep doing what you're already doing and just whine more.

I think Microsoft's valuation is woefully underestimated

Also GabeN would have to agree to sell it, it's not really up to anyone else (and I don't think he's really interested)

Did a full shell swap on mine:

The thing with the screen is you have to pull on one corner (with heat) until that single corner comes up just enough for you to slide some kind of tool underneath to slice the adhesive and separate them better. Then you can move the heat gun around a bit more and move the tool with it to keep cutting through the adhesive.

The "About" of this community explicitely refers to US politics, it's a holdover from /r/politics which this seems to be meant to be a replacement for.

No, it's way worse.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine would not have happened if the Western alliance had honored its promises not to expand NATO

Buddy, the west doesn't decide to "expand" NATO, the countries ask to be allowed in.

And I don't think Ukraine felt very "protected" by Russia after 2014.

Honestly this is a good thing, IMO. If we ever want devs to optimize for a given device, they need to know that it won't be obsolete immediately. Hopefully seeing that Valve isn't rushing to make a new device will give them confidence in that.

Can't say I have experience, but seems it would risk the skirt.

Seems kilt wearers lift up though, so I'm probably wrong.

I've put one on my deck and so far I love it!

The steam and ... buttons are raised more than the stock ones, so you can find them better (though there's no "Steam" text on the button, presumably for legal reasons).

Also on the stock deck I had the B button issue where it could get stuck sometimes, no such problem on the Extremerate one.

The fit is also very good, and it feels good in the hand.

I used to have the jsaux back, but I wasn't fond of the metal "heatsink" and the back didnt seem to mate to the front properly, so there was a slightly raised point I had to sand down, though I did prefer the jsaux raised back buttons.

Front

Back

Edit: I will add that having a good heat gun is recommended, and if I had to do it again, I may skip the trackpads, they were harder (for me) to do than the screen, I felt like I was gonna break them. AND the difference in looks is minor since there's a sticky black pad under them.

Is your argument that tankies don't exist? I assure you that they do.

FSR3 has been available for almost a month, though?

Got mine about 3 hours ago~

It's the Limited Edition, and while most of what the reviews said was spot on, it seems either QAM and Steam buttons on the LE are a bit different or something, because they're ever so slightly raised above the body of the deck.

Because this war isn't, and never was, about NATO?

The APU thats in the deck already has "RT cores". At least, inasmuch as any RDNA2+ device has them.

Though I really doubt this is an updated deck, and much more likely to be "Deckard".

Mine shows as shipped on UPS, supposed to get to me on Wednesday

Limited Edition here.

At one point their AMD driver managed to uninstall itself somehow.

Yup, that's windows. AMD tends to release most of their drivers without WHQL certification (think, final drivers, just without Microsoft signing off on them, so they get out faster and (presumably) slightly cheaper).

Windows sees this and thinks "Hey! This driver doesn't have our stamp of approval! Let's help this dumb user out and 'update' it to the latest one that does!"

Unfortunately, this not only puts you on an old version, but now the adrenalin software sees that the driver doesnt match its install and doesn't let you use those features.

God I hate windows >.>

and how many are those thats are bot ?

Yeah, I was hesitant too, but I figured if I screwed up, the most likely part would be the screen.

And if that happened, it'd just be an excuse to get the 1200p screen!

The deck is only successful because Valve is already successful enough to take the first loss on a console

This may be true(and I wouldn't doubt it being the case, at least on the $399 model) but it's pure speculation on your part.

The rumored standalone VR headset from Valve

Mine just updated about an hour ago, so yours should be soon, if not by now.

I was only talking about your claim that they're selling at a loss, nothing about success or not.

We don't know their BOM so its speculation that they're taking a loss. (Unless I misunderstood your claim)

Have you not learned that the Russian government lies? Like...a lot?

NATO wasn't the reason Russia started this war, Putin and his cronies were.

Edit: also, NATO is a defensive alliance. The easiest way to not trigger article 5? Don't fucking attack a NATO country unprovoked.

Oh for sure. I'd have to upscale instead of actually use 1200p, but the colors are supposed to be better so It'd be a nice upgrade for me

Green is nice looking too, I think if I hadn't had my heart set on atomic purple I would have gone with the opaque blue/purple color shift one.

I don't play, but perhaps it has something to do with either Proton or Linux? (I'm assuming you're mostly a windows player outside of the deck).

You could try running it with DXVK, which does work on Windows, though it's not officially supported or anything.

Valve are only successful or even exist at all

Only as successful as they currently are.

They would have still been successful based on their games, I think, and without steam to "distract" them, they might have counted to 3 by now.

I mean, sure. But the video is about Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, no?

I don't know where 2-4 weeks comes from, maybe Canada(Your comment isn't the first time I've seen it)?

The delivery date (at least what I'm seeing) is 1-2 weeks, not the shipping date.

For instance, mine already has a label ready, just waiting on UPS to update for the estimated day.

The article doesn't explicitly say that it works with AMD/Intel cards, but it does seem to imply such.

It says that everyone can take advantage of this, but ONLY Nvidia RTX cards can do so. You have to be able to enable DLSS first, before you can enable the FSR3.0 frame generation component.

This allows RTX 2000/3000 cards to use frame generation even though DLSS3 isn't allowed by Nvidia on the cards.
