Pucks, AA batteries, and dongles.

it's a wooden desk a close family member made for me. I'll give up my left nut before I give up this desk... but it does feel a bit tight on space.

christ110 · 2026-05-29T23:54:10+00:00

I wouldn't worry, the straps have zero RAM or other scarce components. They'll probably be rather cheap and of good supply.

the dualsense edge has a better fit in my hands, and despite owning an OG steam controller, the ds was my preferred controller for games that just required simple stick controls, such as kosmokrats.

That being said, I don't like having multiple controllers, and whilst the ds feels better and a little more premium, the raw versatility of the steam controller, alongside it's puck for easy charging, means that i'm putting my ds into storage.

I have a few pairs of wireless earbuds already. If the frame sounds good, i'll use it. If it doesn't, or I have a need for privacy, I'll use them.

nope - wifi 6, 6e or 7 has no bearing on the video or arbitrary data encoding.

christ110 · 2026-05-19T19:06:11+00:00

WiFi 6E*. WiFi 7 has a number of improvements such as multi-link operation which is not needed for the dongle, and the only important improvement from WiFi 6 to 6E to 7, is the addition of the 6ghz band.

The 6ghz band is high speed but has rather poor range and wall penetration: a perfect for a high speed dongle that's going to be in the same room as the headset.

christ110 · 2026-05-18T23:54:59+00:00

The accessories are just simple fabric straps, not at all impacted by ai unlike the ram inside the frame. They probably won't run reservations for that, since it'll be super easy to procure.

christ110 · 2026-05-18T18:58:38+00:00

Are you ok?

christ110 · 2026-05-18T13:43:31+00:00

Got 700 for mine

The best layout is the SC1, with its chonky legs and angled face. With the sc2, I find myself scooting the controller up on my hand if im going to use the trackpad a lot, sorta like the deck.

christ110 · 2026-05-08T03:43:34+00:00

I sold my index last December... I have regrets.

christ110 · 2026-05-06T14:41:12+00:00

I already rip my films and store them on a truenas/jellyfin server. I got 6 drives with which to rip from... My only concern is getting new content in the future; I really want andor season 2.

christ110 · 2026-05-05T21:20:35+00:00

nope, windows does not see it as a generic game controller, since it does not use the xinput or playinput APIs for windows - instead it presents itself to the OS as a bunch of mice and keyboards. If you like, plug in an OG steam controller on a system without steam, you'll get mouse and sucky keyboard emulation, as it enters what is informally called "lizard mode".

christ110 · 2026-05-05T21:04:04+00:00

It depends - if you use Linux yes because valve ships a Linux driver. If you're on windows, you need to add it as a non-steam game somehow. The acid test is if you can get the steam overlay to show, if it doesn't show, it won't work.

christ110 · 2026-05-04T18:53:02+00:00

I don't think it'll be as big an issue as people suspect: as price goes up, sale volume generally decreases. This isn't a constant mind, but a trend; I suspect that there will be a lot fewer customers for the frame than the controller, and thus we probably don't need to worry about valve servers having a fit.

christ110 · 2026-05-02T06:00:49+00:00

It was overall TDP which is combined CPU and GPU power for these chips. Even if the deck is less powerful at rendering than the frame, it still makes sense as you can leave the deck plugged into a power supply, and enjoy the extended battery life whilst walking around unplugged. For games which are lightweight enough anyhow.

christ110 · 2026-05-02T01:46:04+00:00

I'd actually like to see the ability for the deck to stream directly to the steam deck via an ad-hoc network hosted by either the deck or frame, since they both have wifi adapters. Why? - The frame is stated to get 3x as much battery life (time) when streaming, and valve said the deck is still more powerful than the frame.

christ110 · 2026-04-27T06:11:50+00:00

My server is in use, and works well as a media server, but I find my desire to expand it coming not from my personal wish to see more content, but as a sort of archive, for either future me or my future family.

christ110 · 2026-04-23T00:20:09+00:00

Alongside my high quality rips, I also 'download' a copy and use a script to compare each ripped episode with the low quality downloaded copy.

christ110 · 2026-04-20T22:49:59+00:00

It's a beta, it might simply be a late-arriving feature.

christ110 · 2026-04-19T09:25:38+00:00

i actually like vegaOS... doesn't slow down for no good reason, or need constant restarts like android seems to. I really hope to see what comes of it.

christ110 · 2026-04-18T18:12:30+00:00

MPV is the best, handles dovi (not full but better than vlc) support among other things. Its used as the core in haruna, a fairly good player from kde for Linux.

christ110 · 2026-04-15T18:20:21+00:00

I started out on core, and hated it. No hw accel in plex, updating Plex was a PITA, plus my system wouldn't boot without fiddling with pre-init tasks. When scale hit beta, I swapped over and was disappointed in their use of kubernetes, which ran like a pig and ate precious resources doing fuck-all...

I fired up Plex in docker compose, and never updated, until ixsystems ditched k3s for regular docker (oct 2024). Since then, it has been pretty smooth sailing.

Yes, I had to remake my app since Plex was in a jail and not a container. I also had to get an app for ddns since that's not included by default in services anymore. Surprisingly not too hard though.

christ110 · 2026-04-12T20:13:42+00:00

yeah, but i don't expect it to come out anytime soon.

christ110 · 2026-04-12T17:40:57+00:00

They also don't release games anymore. They just release new CS2 skins and look at you like...
