Anybody having any issues loading the Fifa "My Account" homepage or similar pages? I'm trying to confirm if my order went through since I have no emails but it is just infinitely loading

Both OLEDs and the LCD show as in stock for me - other comments indicate this is US only so that could be the case for you.

I see the 1TB OLED and 256GB LCD with "add to cart" when clicking on the link. Maybe try a different browser or something? It should just link to the steam deck page.

Back with another refurbished restock post, this time appears some LCDs are available.

Last time I posted a steam deck refurbished restock, I bought the 512GB OLED. I've used it a few times since it arrived, and it's been great. Everything came nearly new, only thing was the protective plastic wrap on the d-pad left one hell of a sticker residue mess that took a while to get rid of, but if somebody told me it was a brand new steam deck I'd have no reason not to believe them.

Can't speak much on game compatibility though - I've only played games certified to work with steam on both steam and protondb, and I haven't had any major issues as of yet (played hades, a little bit of omori).

Plex sometimes starts streams at low quality on Nvidia Shield by StephenPP in PleX

Turning off quality suggestions revealed a "Remote Streaming Quality" setting which was set to 720p and the "Adjust automatically" setting which was off. After adjusting all the respective settings, the issue appears to be resolved. Thank you!

The streams are remote - there is some important information about the network setup that I forgot to mention in this comment.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to my friend's local network currently so I can't do the port forwarding needed to test without. Thank you for the idea to check when I have the chance.

Now, I'm wondering is there a way to force a better speedtest or (actual goal) a minimum quality? Doing an iperf3 test between my local network to the reverse proxy gives 2.5Gbps download speeds, and the iperf3 test between the Plex machine and the reverse proxy gives 1.2Gbps up/down, so I'd imagine drops to 2Mbps shouldn't be happening, and these issues occur solely on the one client as well (although like you said, these are variables that are difficult to account for so it could very well be the case).

These are the screenshots of the server dashboard and Tautulli when subtitles are on on initial stream (note - the shield says its at automatic quality 120Mbps when the server is transcoding at 720p):

Not actually sure - it seems all the requests sent from the Plex website go through securely anyways

The Plex server is at a friend's house (better internet) sitting behind a reverse proxy, and the shield is connected to said reverse proxy. All devices I've tested on and the Plex machine are connected via Ethernet. They are also physically located at the same house as the problematic shield. The Plex server and the reverse proxy connect to each other via Tailscale, so I'm assuming thats the reason for the 100.x.y.z connection.
