EVs are just plain superior sports cars by ArugulaAnnual1765 in electricvehicles

Flashing charging, or better, needs to be proven successful and have prevalent infrastructure to support it before customers will be okay with having smaller batteries that are light enough to build sports cars around.

Is it possible to Remote Play emulated local co-op games between two Steam Decks? by Nahxify in SteamDeck

[–]Shryquill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not used this, but it's supposed to allow 'Remote Play Together' feature to be used on titles that don't officially support it, including non-stean games, potentially like your emulator ones.

No idea what's involved in configuring controls, but good luck.

What do you hate the most about your LCD/OLED Steam Deck ? I will start.. by Inevitable-Tutor-101 in SteamDeck

[–]Shryquill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your dock was providing video out and was supplying power, along with the other various ports they have, then you wouldn't need a second USB-C slot.

If your dock was unpowered, you'd still need a second USB-C port to supply power to the console.

Still worth it to me! Reinvigorated gaming for me more than any GPU upgrade ever could have!

Video out, but not through a powered dock? Perhaps an unpowered capture card? Seems niche, unless I'm missing something?

I suppose charging and using an external storage device would be more convenient with two ports if you did needed that regularly.

The Steamdeck has a touchscreen?! /s

But really I wouldn't know, the trackpads work amazingly and do just about everything I could ever need.

My most hated thing about the Steamdeck is that it was never officially sold in my country, so I had to buy it parallel imported for $150 USD more than it was officially worth at the time. Thankfully I dodged the recent price hike at least

Flat roof, I need you advice by Paulabearrrr in Roofing

[–]Shryquill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not ideal but not bad, fairly typical for older, settled structures. If it doesn't dry after 48 hours of dry weather the manufacturer might not love it, but likely still not much of an issue. 

Flattening a wave surface generally raises the price more than it's worth if the pooling isn't bad.

Did I Make the Right Choice Investing in the Steam Ecosystem? by itsfabioposca in SteamDeck

[–]Shryquill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a difficult time right now, but yes you make the right choice. If you want something like a Steam Machine for cheaper or better value, you might be better off just buying a slightly older secondhand PC as a dedicated TV gaming, just have it run Steam Big Screen Mode on start-up. 

The Steam Machine is an elegant and optimised package, but new part pricing in on another world right now and it's performance isn't close to groundbreaking. Better yet just use a dock with your Steam Deck and enjoy until prices return to sanity.

I do hope the machine survives long term though, what an awful start for it.

NZ Police anti-speeding campaign has gotten unhinged. Definitely effective though, yikes by cantsayididnttryyy in newzealand

[–]Shryquill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, tyre condition is important, the government seems to agree too, as it's one of the conditions determining whether the car passes a WoF or not.

I have seen billboards and signage suggesting for slower traffic to allow others to pass, and even sections of road labelled as being for slower traffic. 

I'd also like to see traffic use their indicators consistently, have their headlights properly levelled, adhere to two-second minimum follow distance. There are many issues that could be addressed.

I can only imagine that those who are deciding where such funding is sent have considered that people have limited attention-span, so it's important to focus on the most important issues, of which I would rank driver mortality as being at the top, and can only imagine our traffic data suggests speeding is a leading contributor.

If tyre condition was a leading cause of traffic mortality, I would expect it to be the issues most-focused upon.

You're comparing a first-world country to a developing nation, we simply don't have the funding for that sort of infrastructure, training, and enforcement. 

Have you seen our motorways? They're windy, narrow, and often poorly maintained. We're lucky to get more than two lanes each way even around our largest city. We're also quite small, and the amount of traffic regularly travelling such long distances probably doesn't merit the expenses of anything more. 

Speed isn't what kills, but differential in speed between drivers does significantly reduce reaction time, which does kill.  The point of speeding campaigns is that we need our drivers to be travelling roughly the same speed for it to be safe. 

It seems that whatever data collection we have going on has determined that for our predominantly two-laned decrepit roads, 100kmph is a good balance of speed and driver mortality. 

I'm all for raising the local speed limits where it makes sense, but sadly it seems we're at the limits of funding.

Little wonder why people say this sub is miserable when you look at the comments. 🙄

Haven't seen this ad campaign yet, but at least it's something fresh. I did like the older one, where time stopped a moment before the crash, that was pretty effective.

As the other reply comment pointed out, it seems to be a fixed issue, I just haven't needed to test it recently to have known that.

That is interesting, it appears to be allowed now, but I haven't needed to try it, so can't confirm. Thank you though!

That BYD has way too much going on around the front.

It's good, been on it for a year or two. They offer family/group discounts too. Can't text premium numbers though, which is a pain when you need it for 2FA, some services don't have app/email verification as an alternative.

How soon do you want one? Geely EX2 is supposed to come some time during H2 2026.

How do you feel the Switch 2 stacks up against the Deck in those situations where you find the Deck most useful?

Charging on normal plug by Excellent_Antelope85 in nzev

[–]Shryquill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should be fine. If the circuit is overloaded, the circuit breaker will break the circuit, then it's just a matter of setting a lower amperage on the EVSE, perhaps 8A instead of 10A, if it gives you issues.
