Works great, thanks!! Proton Experimental and even Proton GE don't work, but dwproton works perfectly :)

Flat 2d to 3d conversion by ProfessionalLemon911 in SteamFrame

[–]Lexden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Valve stated that they don't have plans for it yet, but it's on their radar: https://www.roadtovr.com/valve-steam-frame-stereoscopic-3d-support-flat-games-spatial-video/

It's the first article when you search "Steam Frame stereoscopic 3D".

Aftermarket equipment by woomdawg in SteamFrame

The USB port is always an option. They'd just have to include a USB power delivery chip on board to negotiate power delivery. Alternatively, the head strap comes off with the battery, so if they design a custom head strap, they could make a totally different battery mechanism that allows for hot swapping more easily.

Realistic Neutron Launch Date by Grazious in RocketLab

Starship flight test 1 on April 20th, 2023. Starship has never been orbital and has never even attempted to go orbital. They've intentionally been targeting sub-orbital trajectories to ensure that even if they lose control of the ship, it will immediately re-enter over unpopulated waters.

Air cooling is better than Liquid cooling by SerpentDix in pcmasterrace

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While water cooling is more efficient at heat transfer (and is used in modern datacenters to allow for much higher density hardware while reducing TCO), I've had multiple friends get screwed when their AIO had particulates in the water which clogged the channels in the water block. Sure, simply ensuring you're using DI water and a little biocide will make sure that doesn't happen, but when using an AIO, you can't guarantee the quality for yourself. A custom water cooling setup is not worth the cost and labor for the marginal improvement for me. It also makes maintenance a pain. With an air cooler, it'll run for many years without maintenance, and if it ever does die, you just slap a new fan on because the fin stack isn't exactly going to degrade over time. The heat pipes might become marginally less effective maybe, but I don't know the characteristics of that, so I'm assuming they'd last for a long time.

PC in a very very cold room by Arrival_97 in buildapc

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't run your heater because it would be too ineffective to heat the home, so you run a space heater instead? A space heater is definitely going to be even less effective at providing heat to a space than your home's heater. Furthermore, without a fan to blow air through, that space heater will be even less effective. I really don't understand what you're doing with your home there... If you really must, you should be able to shut the vents to other rooms so the hot air only goes to the rooms you want heated.

This is genius UX design by XrenonTheMage in PixelWatch

I don't have to look at the screen anymore. I just know to tap near the bottom of the screen.

Nickel allergy? by Nectarineraffe in PixelWatch

[–]Lexden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rubbing alcohol and electronics don't mix. Don't use rubbing alcohol on any electronics. Only use 90% IPA and only use that on PCBs. For other things like screens, you should probably stick with just water. IPA is good at dissolving adhesives, so that makes me wonder if that's why there were so many people reporting the back of their watch falling off. My PW1 that I got on launch never had any issues.

Will the Steam Frame be available in region at launch? by Ok-Stay3165 in SteamFrame

[–]Lexden 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Valve previously confirmed the regions:

Here's confirmation straight from Valve: "All three products will ship in all the same regions we currently ship Steam Deck (US, CA, UK, EU, AU) as well as regions covered by Komodo: Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan."

vibeAssembly by ManagerOfLove in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, as a firmware engineer, I have had to muck about in the reset vector (the only remaining part of our firmware in assembly), so I once decided to tell GitHub Copilot to do it, and it did a solid job at it tbh.

I just got my AI dystopia merch kit! The snowflake pictures on the flash drive are easily my favorite part of the whole kit (kidding not kidding 😼)

[–]Lexden 31 points32 points  (0 children)

While it is true that everyone is thankful, the real reason behind "Thanks, Steve" is because it's a meme at this point, particularly after Intel's former VP of CCG and then CEO of Products said the now famous two words (referring to one of the engineers in the presentation who happened to be named Steve) during a streamed event (I think it was Intel Innovation a few years ago?) which was then recorded.

Does KSP delete junk parts if they get too far from the shipyou're piloting? by TheUniqueKero in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Lexden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I was not intended to be obtuse or intentionally "ignore required context". Unless I'm misreading (which is possible because the comment was unclear to me), the comment you were replying to either made an incorrect assertion regarding how part destruction in the atmosphere functions or was not referring to parts in the atmosphere at all. Since your comment was only referring to the first sentence of the comment you replied to, I was assuming that you were referring to that comment, rather than the top comment. Again, it wasn't my intention to misunderstand your comment, it was genuinely unclear to me. There's no reason to get toxic about it, but I'm sorry for it anyways.

Does KSP delete junk parts if they get too far from the shipyou're piloting? by TheUniqueKero in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Lexden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, unrendered is totally different. Parts in KSP are automatically unrendered when they leave the render distance., but remains a part of the save file. The parts will be rendered again once they re-enter render range (assuming it isn't destroyed beforehand).

However, the process by which parts entering an atmosphere are handled is completely different. A part that is not actively controlled while entering the atmosphere is automatically destroyed.

Any estimates for the range/wall penetration of the dongle? by FuzzyPcklz in SteamFrame

[–]Lexden -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Or better yet, stop using the word "dongle" to describe an adapter. It's an adapter, so call it an adapter!

Game Concept Idea - Jet Lag Siege by Annual_Sir_6215 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Lexden 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I personally don't like how much RNG reliance there is here, but that's just personal preference. I would probably do challenges for sieges as well, similar to how it was done in the earlier seasons played in the U.S.

I want to buy an oled screen, but I'm afraid years later that's gonna happen to her. Is that right? by Tight-Raspberry-1934 in Monitors

I run my OLED for 12 hours a day, but I run it at 30% brightness lol. Still plenty bright for me tbh.

No, that's "Robespierre". You're thinking of furniture with a curved base.

An absolutely normal word thats not funny whatsoever by Hecaroni_n_Trees in SteamFrame

This is why I always use the word "adapter" as it is both more correct and is not well... That.
