It’s roughly the same package as the middle power choice for framework, so similar.
Battery is very similar, so’s the GPU and RAM. Only big difference is the screen, which framework nailed.
The framework 13 is almost a full lbs heavier than the 14 inch lemur pro.
FYI, scrcpy can be an excellent tool for remote support, but you’d better trust the network the interface is on
It’s going to help me when mine arrives next week!
Breeze white, left on laptops. I use the track pad left-handed. Always freaks people out when the cursor is reversed and I’m used to it now.
Also, if you’re trying to click on the first half of a letter to highlight (and the cursor doesn’t switch to the beam), I find it easier when you can see more of the letter.
I would dearly love to know how many if statements are between me and the brakes.
Also, being able to prove that that the CAN bus and RTOS system was air-gapped from whatever bullshit uplink to the internet ends up in there would be worth ~20K extra to me.
It will be the final form of all emulation I do from now on.
Currently syncthing to a server manages sharing my states and saves between steamdeck, bazzite home rolled steam machine and Desktop. This would be the dream for portability, and user sharing!
Looks like you could set it up with a burner or a code display and buy and configure a chip for reasonably cheap. You could keep the code display as backup and use the chip for day-to-day.
I’m not sure how much hassle that would be, or how secure it would be. Based on the alternatives, I’m guessing the app is some sort of TOTP code gen based off a certificate issued to you by the gov’t?

Imagine combining this with etcd and we’ll have AD and a registry all over again!
You can never be vulnerable to an exploit if you never reuse the same code twice
The 8 is a pretty big upgrade, 9 more so. Much more solid, much better battery life, much better performance (searches/loading/brightness)
I found a homemade Ubuntu 8.04 installer disk the other day, simpler times. It had it’s place.
I will never forgive the amazon partnership with the desktop search bar.
If you open up the door, we’ll all come inside and eat your brains!
Try putting it on a USB extender too - getting it away from power plugs and other cable interfaces will probably help!
tl;dr:
If you think something is blocking DNS traffic, you could try configuring DNS-over-HTTPs or DNS- over- TLS and picking a reputable upstream. This should obfuscate the traffic somewhat and get past common DNS interference issues and tactics.
So building on what yourself and everyone else has said, it does seem to be a DNS issue.
I found that at select times my local ISP was up to shenanigans with DNS.
I live in a very small country and work in IT. The NOC for all three ISPs and I have met. It would surprise me if they were competent enough to do this intentionally for malicious purposes.
If you can get access out to the internet via ping, see if you can do other things - get on a VPS and test with tcpdump at both ends. There’s a few free ones or trials great for disposable purposes like this. Set it up in advance…
You won’t know what it is til you troubleshoot.
I’ve had huawei firewalls reaching some simultaneous connection limit and fail, reversing their ruleset - blocking everything except ICMP, tr069 and ssh (concerning) outbound…
I’ve had problems with specific DNS servers, through the ISP’s network.
I’ve seen regular BGP changes causing outages all over the place (the ISPs locally don’t peer with each other…)
Post your findings, would love to help/hear!
Good lord you must be from my era
I love my steamdeck oled.
I use it primarily for upscaled emulation using retrodeck, (it runs PS2 upscaled to 4k, with all the beautification hacks switched on no problem) and in-home streaming which it excels at because of specialized hardware - sub 15ms 2k frame decode time over wifi (indistinguishable from being in front of your PC).
It can run large amounts of the steam catalogue, but very modern games that are quite demanding are going to struggle a lot, even at the native 800p. I prefer to stream them from my PC which it does very well.
Definitely get the oled model. Still might be the best screen I own. No ghosting and very good visual clarity. It’s still 800p though. I got the 512GB model and upgraded the SSD to 2TB myself. It was a little bit delicate, but nothing really major.
Worth noting that despite hating games running less than 60Hz, and preferring 120+, the performance target of the switch is actually 45Hz. With the 90hz display, locking the fps in for vsync at 45hz is actually perfectly acceptable for most games. Not allowing screen tearing is enabled by default for everything, and the frame limiter is available for changing/switching in game via a quick menu.
That said, if I wanted it as my sole gaming device, I would get something else.
I keep a USB-C dock behind my tv and when the tv is mine for an hour, I plug it in and grab my controller, and I’m in my game in less than 30s. If the tv is not mine for an hour, I can still get a bit of game time in handheld on the sofa.
Currently replaying unfinished games from my childhood - or ones I wanted but never got to play.
Battery life is highly variable. For emulation, you’ll get ages - 6+ hours. Same for much older steam titles. I played half life for 7 hours during a hurricane power outage once. Elden ring gets maybe 1hr20m.
I did get a Killswitch kit from dbrand, and would recommend that. It makes slinging it in a bag much easier and friendlier size wise compared to any case you can buy. It’s the best. The stand is surprisingly useful too. Fair warning, the deck is heavy enough without this extra mass, it’s not easy on the elbows for extended play on your back in bed e.g.
The killer features are:
Bummers are:
Note: I am holding out hope for the recent Wine 11 ntsync patches being ported to proton - steams version of the windows compatiblity layer. With the recent fps improvement numbers, I’m hoping this will have a big impact.
The reason being, on the deck, the performance being poor isn’t all across the board, just for lots of newer titles. The Halo Master Chief collection will run at 120Hz at 1080p no problem.
An interesting argument would be to require the training data to be shared to prove it was never exposed to the original source it’s ripping off.
It might help set a precedent that would make this sort of thing less attractive
Do you subscribe to karakeep lists? Are they of infinite length?
I was about to say, I’ve only come across that particular issue since moving to KDE, but I know what you mean about the lack of options, but then I looked in the settings, and found this:
It’s getting there!
Sorry, not sure I understand about repeatability.
I don’t own one, that was just what I’ve seen about the chipset, LPCAMM2 memory and checking the stats on the pages.
I’d really like one though!
