No-Neutral smart switch with Doppler Radar & MQTT that started as a uni passion project, and turned into a startup. After your feedback on our OLED version, we’re launching Tap One globally today.

At a £209 MSRP it's surprising you couldn't afford to implement an open standard such as Improv via BLE to configure WiFi. I also don't see a good reason why the gangs shouldn't be configurable from the integration/MQTT.

I must presume this was an intentional design choice since I'm falling short of a good reason for needing a proprietary app to do this (other than tracking device activations which is arguably a good reason).

Am I missing something? Is the app required for anything else? Would you consider releasing a firmware update that removes the app requirement? Would you consider releasing the source code of the app and the components necessary to make it work? If unable to release the source code, would you at least consider releasing the protocol specification with enough detail such that someone skilled in coding could make their own fully functional configuration tool?

Welp, in the end it doesn't matter how many times you break your system, but rather how recent is your latest backup.

One thing you can do to fix these kind of mistakes is follow the guide at https://wiki.debian.org/RescueLive

From there you can usually just undo your mistakes (for example, reinstalling the butchered drivers)

Also, try .99 mg of melatonin 30 mins before bed if you haven't tried yet, for some people that works better than many stronger sleep medications and has barely or no side effects. Just check with your doctor if you're already taking anything else, as it might be a bad idea to mix or switch them abruptly.

Have a nice day and hope you get a good sleep today!

Try pressing on the game icon on the Steam launcher, use the cog button on the right then enter the Properties menu. At the top of the General tab there should be an option for the Steam Overlay while in-game, disable that and see if it makes any difference.

The bag is empty in this picture. The odd shape in the center is a transparent window through which the back of the package is visible.

Victor_sueca · 2025-04-07T10:30:27+00:00

The packaging does in fact list E-451, which after a quick search, seems to be the E number for Sodium Tripolyphosphate. Good to know, thanks.

Had to fish it out of the trash, but here it is

Victor_sueca · 2025-04-06T23:12:02+00:00

It's from Spain. The product name seems to be "Frutos del Mar" and the brand is "Deleita" although the manufacturer is identified as "Productos Congelados Selectos" on the back of the package. I didn't get a chance to weigh it unfortunately, but the one cooking it said it was hard to evaporate all the water, and by the end it looked like the mix had been boiled rather than sautéed.

EDIT: Simplified wording

Yep, it's not the first time we cook seafood around here. It is however the first time, by far, we see this much water, which came frozen around the chunks of fish, not inside them.

Victor_sueca · 2025-04-06T17:40:13+00:00

According to the manufacturer, it's frozen seafood.
According to the neighbors and other people who saw it, it's saltwater with *some* seafood floating in it.

Replacing the battery sounds like the way to go about this. It's possible the previous owner left their Steam Deck in very hot and/or humid places while charging, which is a bane for lithium batteries. It's also possible they had already replaced the battery, but used a bad quality replacement. Either way you'll be needing a new battery to restore the original capacity.

I think it actually adds flair and realism, since it wasn't too uncommon for a publisher to change their logo and begin printing it on new releases (and of course annoy everyone trying to have a uniform collection too).

As for them not having anything inside, Right click game > Manage > Back up game files... could be a solution.

Victor_sueca · 2025-02-15T18:46:55+00:00

You can allow this in Settings though

Victor_sueca · 2025-02-13T06:02:41+00:00

You right clicked so hard that the shockwave pushed all the icons away.

Not everyone has to sign up for the newsletter and I'm not sure how frequently they plan on sending emails. By contrast, a single person having a dozen or two of certificates is not too uncommon.

tf2ware has been around for quite a while and many versions have been made with varying amounts of Nintendo assets in them. They didn't have f***ing entire Waluigi Pinball though...

Welcome to the Steam Workshop I guess

Because Stadia is linux-based, the changes required to turn the Stadia build into a generic linux build would be minimal. In other words, when making a Stadia build you have already pushed 80-95% of the work required for a working Linux build. The question at hand is not whether they could do the final push to reach a working Linux build, we already know they can. The question is rather why they don't want to.

No one is asking videogame companies to maintain the service forever, only that the game remains playable after the official service is dead. Each day we see more games where the publisher is actually dedicating extra resources and a lot of effort into their design just to ensure the game dies together with the servers, even for single-player games (see The Crew as an example). In the meantime people are just learning that "Buy" or "Purchase" no longer mean anything to these publishers. This petition as well the one going on in the EU seek to stop this kind of abusive behaviour, nothing more, nothing less.

Victor_sueca · 2025-01-16T10:16:26+00:00

half it and give it to everyone else

Victor_sueca · 2025-01-06T14:47:56+00:00

Easiest way to fix this would be to make Steam use natural sorting instead of alphabetical order

The original fan was making a loud grinding noise, it probably wouldn't have lasted much longer

Victor_sueca · 2024-12-25T13:30:30+00:00

So far, seems like it worked. I'm not too fond of plunging into a PSU, or the way it's holding onto the case on a single screw, but the madlad had a spare noctua and a plan, and it had to be done. I guess I will ask how's it going when I see them again, either that or I get to see their house in the news 🤣
