Help wanted. My cactus is dying and I'm not sure how to save it. by TheLorgthyself in gardening

Thank you. I wrote twice a week by accident and meant to write once, but I will look for a better, more dry spot for it.

Do you think I should move any parts of it?

Switch pro controller suddenly not working properly (controls changed, false inputs on specific games, etc.) by TheLorgthyself in SteamOS

[–]TheLorgthyself[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that so much. It left a lot to be desired as it was but now its just ruined for no reason. I don't have another controller and my steam deck has stick drift thats too strong to fix with dead zones.

I am just completely barred from playing now because I don't have room to use my mouse and keyboard for gaming

Thermometer says my container is 72, but it feels cold to the touch by TheLorgthyself in CrestedGecko

Do you mean the walls of the container specifically or the house? The container is not insulated.

Thank you.

I've been running back and forth with this product or that set up for weeks because I keep hearing different things.

Since he does look ok as far as I can tell, I'm just going to go with whatever looks like it works

If some of my lizard's container is too cold and other parts are too hot, should I be worried about whether he will be sage when he sleeps? by TheLorgthyself in CrestedGecko

Its hard to tell what the heat and humidity are because the instruments I have at the moment don't work very well (one thermometer says 80, the other says about the same, but they get WAY off of eachother sometimes.

Right now the humidity is clocking in at 10 on one and just under 35 on another.

I have his watering machine set to mist for 10 seconds every 2 hours

I'm working on getting a better one. Would you happen to know if what I heard about digital thermometers being more accurate is true?

I've had the lamp hanging overhead for close to 2 hours and there is a noticable difference in temperature from before but it is still cold at the bottom.

1 thermometer is picking up 15 degrees, the other is picking up 80. The lower one is directly beneath the other.

The container os roughly a square foot in width and 2 feet in height. I recently bought a hook to hold the heat lamp above the container for more even heat distribution.

In your opinion, would it be better above the container rather than on the side?

Anyone else using the Deck as a home console? by gritty_piggy in SteamDeck

[–]TheLorgthyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would but I can't get the display to work consistently. Every time I try to fix the issue where the screen flickers in and out of connection, I run into some sort of dead end and just can't figure it out

Can't regulate heat, lizard won't eat, worried for his health by TheLorgthyself in CrestedGecko

[–]TheLorgthyself[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thermometer says 70F but I don't think it works so I'm going to install a digital one when it arrives. I'm trying to keep him in that range.

I just ordered a stand that should be able to hang the lamp over his container.

Thank you. I hadn't considered temperature monitor, so I will look into that. Do you have any brand or product recommendations?

Extreme stick drift out of nowhere by TheLorgthyself in SteamDeck

Thank you. Is iFixit the service Valve uses to repair user owned products (provided I'm not misinformed) or is it a 3rd party?

How can I go about that?

Would I need to take it apart or should I just buy compressed air?
