  • [Solved!] Swapped nvme from old deck into new deck, now headphones don't work

    Jump

  • No worries.

    Yeah I've used Bluetooth before, but the lag is always noticeable for me. I can ignore it on something like HZD or HFW, but I've been playing Fretless lately, so musical timing is key.

    My wired headphones always stay in the steam case waiting for me, never need charged or fussed with, they just work. Plus I got an old school pair, big drivers that sit in your ear, not in your ear canal, so I can still hear the world around me without needing passthrough or whatever it's called. The only loss is a little less bass 🤷‍♂️

  • Is bazzite that good?

    I admit I haven't looked extremely deeply into it, other than that it's steamos for things that aren't steam decks.

    There's gotta be some caveats, otherwise why are people so excited about stock steamos coming to more devices natively?

    I'm not against it, honestly I'm considering it, I just wanna be informed

  • I'm op, not the guy you responded to. But I might try this as well. I wasn't able to make mine work on desktop mode, but maybe something else is fishy in there. Thanks!

  • Pro audio and back? Ok I don't remember seeing that specifically.

    I did go into desktop mode and fiddle with the audio mixer, turning the speakers and headphones on and off, etc. Never got any sound. But I'll dig deeper. Maybe this combined with the other person who responded to you, can get me up and running.

    Can't try it till this evening though.

  • Thanks! But that still involves starting over. Which I guess wouldn't be so bad. I could move most of my game data and stuff over, I just don't want to haha

  • Interesting. Something about swapping ssds around is freaking out the.. What.. audio driver?

    Maybe if I find a solution it can help you too

  • What's the worst food you've ever eaten?

    Jump

  • Mother in law fed me pink turkey.

    She used an insta pot, loaded to the brim with turkey legs, but she set it on air fryer mode by accident. Mine was on top, so it looked fine, and she didn't notice the lower ones were raw until I'd already started eating.

    Fun night. Didn't get sick 🤷‍♂️

  • [Meme] The software compiling experience on the Deck

    Jump

  • I love my steam deck. It's underpowered for modern AAA games, even games a few years old make it sweaty. But dang it if it isn't efficient, and inexpensive.

    You can't beat the performance in your backpack for $300.

    People talk about the other handhelds, and granted I've not tried them. But while they may have fancier features and more performance, it's not THAT much more performance, you're still hampered. And to get that extra performance, you're draining your battery. All for at least 2 to 3 times the price.

    No shade on anyone who loves their alternate handhelds. But it's just not worth it to me personally. I'll stick with my steam deck until version 2, whenever it's ready, no rush. Because I know it'll have performance and efficiency. Until then, I'm quite pleased 🤷‍♂️

  • Behold! A perfect microwave hardboiled egg

    Jump

  • I like to put egg in microwave ramen sometimes. But you have to swirl it a bit first and break the yolk.

    I used to just plop one or two eggs directly into the bowl with the ramen, and microwave it all at once. But this happened to me, thankfully it did it inside the microwave. But I was at work, it was very loud, and soup was dripping out of the door.

    Not fun.

  • Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA

    Jump

  • I don't know any of the law for sure, but isn't that a different argument entirely?

    In one case, an EU resident buys a product in the EU, decides to use it while in the US for a week/month whatever. The argument is that he's protected.

    You're saying that's not true, because if he buys it in the USA, then he's not protected.

    But, that wasn't the argument, was it? It's different?

  • The Steam Deck we have at home:

    Jump

  • If you can't find an original adapter, I can confirm this one works. Most of the other ones I had laying around wouldn't work. I had to search for this one. It was only $15 when I got it in January 2025, not sure why it's $25 now

  • That's fair. The box that held all my wiiu stuff was mysteriously missing the pad charger. I think I used a dock before too? At any rate, I didn't want another charger laying around. I've got four 6 foot USBC cables coming out of a pair of chargers under my couch that I use for everything. It only made sense to change it over 🤷‍♂️

    So far it works great. Though I about to not using very often, I've got an actual steam deck, and recently got a better laptop, so I primarily use those 🤷‍♂️

    If someone wants to buy it for whatever the going rate of an unmodded wiiu is, I'm game. My ADHD enjoyed the process of modding it, now is back in a box lol

  • Hey neat! I did the same thing a few months ago! Not sure how to link things on here.

    Did you also swap the charger for USB C?

    Edit: This is the streaming post. And this is the USB C mod.

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

    Jump

  • I'm constantly trying to touch the screen on my work provided laptop, and my FW13. I spent a long time with a fancy Chromebook for my couch computing needs, when away from the desktop.

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

    Jump

  • Another vote here for framework 13. Love mine.

    I've had mine about 4 months, minimal issues. I got a 7840U slightly on sale when the new AI 300 series came out.

    I'm also running fedora 42, but it's Bluefin, based on silverblue. Everything works out of the box.

    My biggest complaint is the sleep battery drain, iirc it's something like a few percent per hour, so I just get in the habit of turning it completely off if I'm not home with it plugged in. Otherwise it's dead when I need it, which sucks.

    Also the fan can be a little loud and overzealous under barely moderate load, though I've found keeping it in power saving mode helps keep things cooler. Though I've been using it for note taking during some schooling this week, and it's been stone cold and silent, lasts all day on a single charge. So it definitely depends on your load. I appreciate having the power available when I need it, but wish it was better at keeping itself underclocked (or whatever it needs to do).

    And finally the stock Wi-Fi 6 card in it gives some people problems with certain routers. Though I've only ever had problems with my parents starlink router 🤷‍♂️ That's a quick $20 upgrade though, to Wi-Fi 7, I just haven't needed to 🤷‍♂️

    But still I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

    Keyboard is great. Screen (2.8k) looks great to my eyes, though others say it has issues. No flex in the body. Touchpad is a little funky, but still great.

    Plus when I want to upgrade the platform in a few years, or any component breaks before then, I can just fix it or upgrade it.

    Highly recommend.

  • Why don't Americans use electric kettles?

    Jump

  • I've thought about doing this. In fact, if I ever own or build a house, I'll be adding 240v plugs for exactly this reason. Something like a nema 6-15 or 6-20, with a GFCI breaker in the box to make it (presumably) legal.

  • Same here, happened when I was young. Thankfully I wasn't holding it in my hand, it was on the counter. I didn't get burned

  • Jokes aside, you can microwave small smooth metal vessels. Like mixing bowls and such.

    Do so at your own risk, if it doesn't specify that it's microwave safe.

    But you can buy ones that specifically say they are microwave safe. It just means they're extra smooth, nowhere for charges to accumulate or concentrate. Might have something to do with it's size too, not being resonant at 2.4ghz, but don't quote me on that part.

    Useful if you don't want to take leftovers out of the plastic container first, and if you've had glass explode on you before.

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

  • I'm on silverblue, well, bluefin, specifically.

    So far so happy 🤷‍♂️
