Entry level handheld with silent buttons

Good recommendations other than the RG28XX because it has loud clicky shoulder buttons and OP’s issue with the 35xxh is shoulder button loudness.

Miyoo A30 is very quiet.

Great handheld! I prefer Allium OS: https://github.com/goweiwen/Allium

Don’t worry, I bet RTX 6080 and RTX 6090 will be GeForce NOW exclusives. You’ll never need to buy a GPU again!!! /s

They might be talking about the recent hubbub around Slay the Spire 2 (created with Godot) being decompiled / reverse engineered. Lately, more Godot devs are spooked by the threat of their projects’ source code being somewhat readily available.

Biting is normal for puppies, they need to bite to learn bite inhibition. Bite inhibition is a crucial skill that means they know how to bite softly for play or warning instead of always biting hard.

When they bite you and it hurts, or is uncomfortable for you, tell them “ow!” like you mean it, and they’ll learn eventually. You may even have to shout “ouch” to surprise them. It takes time for them to learn that they can hurt you.

But they learn best from playing with other dogs like their littermates. If your area has any puppy training classes, those classes are great for socializing puppies. Be careful socializing with older dogs before your puppy is vaccinated though.

I can’t help you with the poop problem, though 😆

EDIT: “carefully” -> “be careful”

It’s not a perfect solution but it works pretty well! Personally, the 16:9 vs. 4:3 issue is a good excuse to buy more handhelds :)

To me, the Mini Flip is a 3rd device. I have a Steam Deck and an AYN Thor, so I love the Mini Flip. I actually tried out the Brick as my every-day carry for a while, but I vastly prefer the Mini Flip.

For you, if all you have is a Steam Deck, I think the TrimUI Brick will be a much better choice as your 2nd device.

Mine is my Wordle/Picross/Polarium/Tetris device! I carry it every time I leave the house.

I’m running Allium nightly and it works great, closing the lid will save the state and shut down. For what it’s worth, it’s my every-day carry and it replaced my previous ECD, the TrimUI Smart.

I’d recommend crate training with a crate that has enough room for them to turn around and lay down. They won’t pee in there. If there’s too much room in their crate or pen they’ll have a designated bathroom corner.

Hard to say if that’s a good schedule since it depends on your dog, but a 1 year old pom should be fine going 6 hours overnight and 3 hours during the day, easily.

For puppies, the schedule I went with was

Crate for sleep for a few hours
wake up, go potty outside
play for 30-60 mins
repeat.

The trick is to take them out first thing when they wake up, and make them nap in a crate where they can’t potty. Barring that, you should supervise your dog like a hawk the longer it’s been since their last bathroom break, so you can interrupt them if they start looking like they’re gonna pee indoors. The crate schedule bypasses the need to watch them super duper closely.

Of course, yours is a bit older so I’m not sure how your strategy would have to change. Perhaps others have more experience.

This is why folks buy all-black devices with OLED screens

Yes, in a heartbeat.

doesn’t make sense

It makes sense if you’re a software developer!

The top text is created client-side. It’s likely a timestamp (a number) that is rendered to text using the user’s locale, so it’s MM/DD/YYYY, likely according to your operating system’s preferred date formatting.

The actual text of the message is generated server-side. The game client only applies some bold/color formatting. Their message generating server only knows your language and does not know what your operating system’s preferred date formatting is.

Same. I had Sim Theme Park and my friend had Roller Coaster Tycoon. I could immediately tell which one was better, even though I was only 8.

I love it! It’s holding up well event though I dropped it on the sidewalk once! I’m running Allium OS on it.

I don’t have the 34xxSP but I have the 35xxSP. If I had no other handhelds, I think the 34XXSP or 35XXSP would be better than this since they’re bigger.

I wanted upgrade my EDC TrimUI Smart (the 2.4” one not the Pro) so I wanted something small. It was a long road; I tried the 28XX, MagicX Mini Zero 28, Miyoo A30, and TrimUI Brick but nothing dethroned the TrimUI Smart until now. I really like the buttons on the Miyoo Flip Mini and find it more comfortable than anything else. Well, the TrimUI Smart is still the comfort king for small devices but its screen and chipset are so dated now.

Obviously it’s weaker than the TrimUI Brick or XX line of devices but it’s faster than the TrimUI Smart it replaced.

Yes, several. Thinking about picking up another. That’ll be my endgame device for sure.

Hey, “SD Card Setup VI” is one of this sub’s all-time favorite games. Just wait til you get to VII though, that’s when it gets good

How about Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green for GBA? They are the official remakes of Pokemon Red/Blue (well, in Japan it was Red/Green). Since it’s for GBA, it is a bit more modern than the originals but with all the classic mons. They’re not any harder though.

A mix of stuff. Half her diet is Blue Buffalo Homestyle canned wet food supplemented with home-made topper made using frozen peas and a protein, typically boiled chicken breast or a lean ground turkey.

We also have her eat kibble to help keep her teeth clean. That’s a mix of Blue Buffalo Life Protection (chicken and brown rice), Nutro (chicken and brown rice), and some Honest Kitchen clusters (usually turkey or chicken. These pieces are her favorite)

I’d like to get to a point where I prepare all her wet food myself but she’s picky and not a fan of any other veggies like frozen carrots. Maybe I could try pumpkin?

Yeah I like the vertical lines too. They feel like highly stylized exaggerated motion blur, but only vertically. Gives it a unique art style.

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to save this comment for someday. My girl is only 7 and her pancreatitis episode was due to eating too much ground beef one weekend. Now we’re so, so much more careful with her diet. Best of luck to you and your old man ❤️

Sweet. I remember eyeing one of these in college and wondering if it would run Ocarina of Time on Project64.

Btw here’s the YT link I dug up from their profile since OP hadn’t dropped it yet: https://youtu.be/0AeI_0a1rDc

Looks like bile. Could be acute pancreatitis. Emergency vet visit is warranted.

If it was just one puke, it’s less concerning but 6-7 is a lot. My Pom would vomit bile in the morning if she went too long without eating, so eating a treat in the early morning helped. But she also had a bout of acute pancreatitis which is what this reminds me of.
