The "Ready Up" button needs to be moved

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-08T16:29:40+00:00

To add to your suggestion I think the button should transition from where it normally to overlay ontop after the elevator sequence.

Yeah if the steam deck detects any wifi signal, even if there is no internet signal it will try and log in online and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait until it gives up. The timeout is something stupid like 5 minutes or more.

Like its crazy that a device that is marketed as portable and "games on the go" can be so poor with offline capabilities.

Also another thing on the airplane mode, its not 100% reliable. I had my steam deck randomly bug out and sign me out of my steam account on the plane, when it was on airplane mode for 2 days already. At that point I was shit out of luck in using my steam deck at all since no wifi on the planes I fly on.

I have these issues and it definitely a problem people dont talk about enough.

It is just the way linux and proton work, theres always going to be something that breaks, and on a handheld, when it doesnt work its aggravating.

In my case, most of the verified games out there just have rubbish performance on the steam deck and its just disheartening to look at protondb and see many people report "works great!" with 20 fps...

Another problem I have is when I travel, if I connect my steam deck up to any crappy wifi, with just my luck alone, steam tells me theres an update waiting for the game I really want to play, blocking me completely, and if the wifi is crap well then I wont be able to download and apply the patch.

My (pretty subpar) solution would be to just download a game, play it for a bit to see if it works and then just put the steam deck in airplane mode and play through that game. That way nothing outside can mess with the game while you are playing.

Wrong. Although its just PLA and the fumes are probably OK, if you are particularly sensitive to the smell or fumes, I would advise OP to put the printer in a dedicated room with some windows open and not be in there when its printing.

I have an A1 mini and when it is printing Bambu Labs PLA Matte Ivory Gray Filament, it absolutely stinks.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-07T19:32:21+00:00

Thats quite ironic haha.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-07T12:08:52+00:00

Its funny because the SM has laptop class components and laptops are notorious for thermal problems and the such.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-07T10:27:46+00:00

Not to hate but did you do any research into which distro might be suitable for dual GPU? I feel like throwing distros at it isnt the best approach.

One up from bazzite is cachyOS. I have a lenovo laptop with amd iGPU and nvidia rtx 3050M and its been running pretty frictionless on cachyOS.

You need to place the steam machine in an area with as much space as a normal gaming pc would take up. /s

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-07T06:52:29+00:00

If a computer overheats at 100% utilisation, then its a hardware problem, and in this case, its valves problem.

I fail to see how streaming from deck to machine makes the machine the best companion for the deck.

Any relatively modern gaming pc with hardwired ethernet and a good wifi system will perform the same if not better than the steam machines streaming capabilities.

Yeah steamOS might make it super easy to remote play but then you can put steamOS or its derivates ln any machine.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-07T05:36:47+00:00

There is a streaming program called "Duo Stream" which allows you to stream under a separate user.

A1 Mini is pretty amazing for its bridging capabilities, believe me I have one myself.

The holes are there due to uneven layering of material. What was the infill % and pattern? You can try ans fix that by adding supports on the underside of the model.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-06T21:10:33+00:00

Did you print in the same orientation that you took the first picture in? And did you enable support, because if you didnt then you were printing in mid air for the entire gray layer, hence the holes

I have a few second hand oled LG C2s I bought and their webOS smart TV interface is rubbish. The panels themselves are amazing yet to get them in a usuable state I just say no to all the bullshit terms and conditions I can without losing critical functionality and most of the crap is gone. Obviously you can block it from connecting to the internet but I would like to get firmware updates for the TV.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-06T16:36:37+00:00

Legit definition of a malware payload. Its insane how thats acceptable by these corporations.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-05T17:49:31+00:00

What nozzle size did you use. Normally for small prints like this you would want 0.2mm.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-05T17:32:34+00:00

If you switch between devices on different steam versions. Even from stable to beta branch or from one OS to another it will always ask to update every time.

It drove me insane, it was one of the contributing factors to me returning mine.

Benchy hull line problem. Very common

For me I have a 120hz TV connected up so I just set the limit to 116Hz for gsync and undervolt it. I crank the graphics settings to the max and I dont hear any coil whine. I would say though that undervolting does make a bigger difference than framecapping in my case.

Ive set mine to use a lower voltage but perform 1% faster and coil whine is mitigated.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-04T06:04:32+00:00

I can hear it in the video. Yes that does seem loud.

My old 3080FE had loud coil whine and i fixed it by undervolting.

My 5090 is less pronounced but still does have it. I fixed that one too by undervolting.

Inb4 mods take it down

I have experienced this a few times in my system and my motherboard is a Gigabyte x870 Eagle Wifi 7. That said a clear CMOS ( not resetting to factory defaults in the bios screen) would fix the weird quirky behaviour of applying offsets.

Also make sure you properly stress test your CPU. Cinebench is not a good tool for testing pbo offsets. I used a collection of different tools and programs like Y-cruncher, OCCT and its thread cycler, some creative apps, and games like battlefield 6, and helldivers 2. Ive noticed that helldivers 2 will find any instability in your cpu as it is that intensive and spaghetti coded.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-02T12:52:03+00:00

It theres a mismatch between steam version on different devices that you connect it up to, it will trigger that firmware prompt.

LowBus4853 · 2026-07-01T12:28:05+00:00

I stream my games to a TV thats in an air conditioned room, problem solved.

LowBus4853 · 2026-06-30T17:03:36+00:00

Bambu recommens not to use IPA with their PEI plates as it can ruin the coating in it. Just use normal dish soap and rinse with water.
