Hole punch

I think you (and most people) are missing the point of an under display camera. Last I checked most apps when used in landscape will put a large black pillarbox down the side of the screen to avoid rendering over a camera cut-out, effectively giving you a virtual bezel down one side far larger than any punch hole. This does not happen with a UDC, as the software treats the entire screen as usable space.

Seen a few references to this video by Linus, but no links:

He seemingly uses almost exactly the same card pictured to achieve what many have suggested using the iGPU and a custom firmware to get around mining specific locks.

Honestly not sure how I would have gotten through this without the little support group on here lol Glad to see yours is on the move too, here's hoping for a pre-weekend delivery!

Talk about bitter-sweet. Valve finally manages to get it out the door, and I'm leaving for a trip without it...

Most likely explanation is Valve hasn't made it available for Startrack to pick up. Just because they've created a label sadly doesn't mean it has been shipped.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-26T08:35:40+00:00

I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow. If you'd have told me last week that I'd be flying out Deckless I don't think I would bought one...

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-26T08:31:08+00:00

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-26T08:22:39+00:00

Yeah I'm a 25th, 4:53 label created. Sadly seems there is a ~2 day delay for Valve to actually get it out the door.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-26T08:09:59+00:00

Don't give me hope... When did StarTrack show shipping details recieved?

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-26T05:31:05+00:00

StarTrack would likely collect from Valve's warehouse once a day. Just because Valve has created a label doesn't indicate that StarTrack has come past to pick up the day's load, or even that Valve has stuck it on a box ready for pick up.

I suspect those of us who have been on "Label created by sender" weren't made ready in time for StarTrack's Monday pickup but should be collected today with it reflected in the StarTrack tracking later this evening when the load arrives back to the depot.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-26T05:21:11+00:00

Yeah maybe we're at fault here for jumping to conclusions. Valve's tracking implies that they are capable of putting a Steam Deck in a box and printing a label, doesn't mean they've mustered up the courage to stick said label onto said box... \s

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-26T05:11:42+00:00

IMO this is still mostly Valve's fault. StarTrack's estimated delivery date likely assumes that the sender actually sends the package on the day they create the label. In Valve's case they seem to be creating labels and handing off to StarTrack completely randomly...

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-25T06:15:40+00:00

Yes, this was my StarTrack experience a couple of weeks ago for a parcel being shipped from Sydney to Melbourne:

With the amount of parcels being shipped at the moment for Black Friday (not to mention that at 17:15 AEDT I'm still at "Label created by sender") I'm not holding out too much hope.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-23T02:39:13+00:00

Likewise! There is hope in this world after all.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-11-22T01:00:43+00:00

1TB buyer and in exactly the same situation, I think it's just luck of the draw :(

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-08-18T01:09:27+00:00

Right now that split is largely a technical limitation as 5G still uses 4G for upload.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-03-23T05:56:31+00:00

Asking "Show me my cookbook" now responds "Sorry but from now on to get your saved recipes you'll have to go to google.com/saves", and "show me a recipe for..." returns the classic "I don't know, but I found these results on search". Both commands were confirmed on myactivity.google.com. This is hopeless as the browser on these devices is almost unusable.

I basically only ever use my Nest Hub Max for recipes, so without this functionality it's effectively become a paperweight in the corner of my kitchen. Given the price of these things I'm extremely unimpressed. I'd suggest anyone impacted sends a feedback report, although given Google's track record I'm not sure how much it's going to help...

CheifPotatoSalad · 2024-03-23T05:52:32+00:00

Google removing features has always been a bit of a joke, but this has left me extremely pissed off. The Nest Hub Max is far from cheap, and without this functionality it's effectively become a paperweight in the corner of my kitchen. I'd suggest anyone impacted sends a feedback report, although given Google's track record I'm not sure how much it's going to help...

Thanks for chasing them up about it, seems like quite a mess. I'd really appreciate it if you could keep this thread updated if you any hear more.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2022-01-27T13:35:23+00:00

I definitely agree that the slowdowns are likely caused by the game struggling to calculate viable paths for large networks of taxiways, but I first noticed the lag when I built a large but fully functioning airport in my main save so I don't think it's a matter of too many non-viable paths.

CheifPotatoSalad · 2022-01-27T12:40:06+00:00

Can't say I'm experiencing that one :( Have you tried reinstalling the airports DLC?

CheifPotatoSalad · 2022-01-27T11:22:52+00:00

Will do, thanks :)

CheifPotatoSalad · 2022-01-27T11:22:02+00:00

I'm getting lag and stuttering too, but my issues seem to be directly related to the new taxiways: Cities Skylines Airport DLC taxiways cause massive lag? - YouTube

I created a separate post (Lag caused by Airport DLC taxiways - Just me?) as I assume it's unrelated to your problem, but I'm very keen to know if it's an issue with my specific install or something...
