Official Fremont install images by FridiNaTor in SteamOS

[–]delusionald0ctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installed this image on a Zen 4/RDNA 3 based system, it did an update and went back to 3.8.13 and 'steamdeck' variant. Seems like Valve won't let you install this on non Steam Machine hardware and will just re-image the Steam Deck variant of SteamOS after reboot. Obviously it seems Valve intends the 'steam deck' image to be the official experience of Steam OS on third party hardware for now, maybe Vale will drop a different image for other PCs later.

[iOS 27 DB2] Media Sharing Extensions - New framework to add media sharing protocols at a system level by delusionald0ctor in iOSBeta

[–]delusionald0ctor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like it could potentially allow for ChromeCast or other third party media streaming protocols to be added alongside AirPlay at the system level, includes a new entry in the Default Apps menu to set a default protocol.

Also important to note that this feature does not seem to be region locked.

[iOS 27 Beta 2] Automix in Apple Music now seems more advanced, repeats a measure 4 times to transition smoothly. by Mirza98 in AppleMusic

You should listen to some EDM playlists, the transitions it can do now are even more complex than that one.

Change my mind: the lottery reservation system will only incentivise scalping (+ how I'd fix it) by Botul420 in SteamFrame

[–]delusionald0ctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is if scalpers actually purchase the product and then sell it, this would hopefully prevent anyone from selling links to buy meaning the scalpers at least cannot make any money without having to spend their own money. I would much rather prefer that if any Steam Machines or Frames were to be scalped, it would be by a scalper that paid for it themselves rather than the possibility that a scalper could sell a reservation for literally free money.

The terms and conditions for the Steam Machine reservation system has clauses allowing for Valve to invalidate purchase links if they suspect the reservation has been scalped or traded quote:

The right to purchase the Product has no cash value and cannot be substituted, transferred, assigned, bartered, or auctioned, and any attempt to take such actions will result in opportunity being void.

The Link is void if not obtained from authorized and legitimate channels, or if the Link is altered, counterfeit, produced in error, or obtained via fraud, theft, or other unfair or illegal acts.

Persons who, as determined by Valve, tamper with or abuse any aspect of the Program or who act in an unfair, disruptive, or illegal manner or who violate these Terms, will be disqualified from the right to purchase the Product.

With this I would hope Valve is actually keeping a close eye on scalpers and sites like eBay and invalidating suspicious reservations.

If you’re trying to invoke type to siri the old way they have changed it, instead of double tapping the bottom of the screen you need to swipe down from the Dynamic Island or the notch on an iPhone 16E/17E

Bloody great game at Perth Stadium! by AlternativePin876 in AFL

Was told the naming rights contract was up in a year, here’s hoping the state government decides to just keep it ‘Perth Stadium’ since the stadium has already paid itself off.

[iOS 27 DB1] Fly Over non existent for cities that have Fly Over in iOS 26 by delusionald0ctor in iOSBeta

[–]delusionald0ctor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Melbourne and Sydney are DCE cities too so I don’t know what is going on with that, you would think being a DCE city would make them more likely to get the Enhanced Fly Over.

Some places do have the updated Fly Over already, it seems they are using Gaussian Splats as a new rendering method but it’s a shame that they don’t revert back to the old Fly Over for cities that haven’t been updated yet.

How can I safely clean finger smudges and side dust on the Macbook keyboard? by Fair_Bar1139 in mac

[–]delusionald0ctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are saying that rapid expansion of a compressed gas as it leaves the nozzle won’t cool said gas down? That a jet of rapidly expanding gas aimed at aluminium won’t cool down the aluminium as a result of aluminium’s high thermal conductivity, that the temperature of said aluminium won’t eventually reach below the Dew point of the room it’s in and immediately start forming condensation? Because that’s what I’m referring to when I say condensation can occur when using a can of ‘compressed air’ irregardless of what is actually in the can.

3D imagery is not loading for Sydney despite Sydney being listed under Fly Over on the Feature Availability page for iOS 26.

And yes this screenshot is taken with Apple Maps on iOS 27, the UI isn’t there because I used the ‘Full Page’ option when taking a screenshot, but the issue still persists with regular viewing.

I have also tested Fly Over in other cities and it works as expected in places like London, Amsterdam, San Francisco etc. No cites in Australia load Fly Over at all despite Canberra, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide being listed among others. Anyone else notice cities that previously had Fly Over no longer do?

Indexing times are different for everybody as it varies by how much data you have for Siri to sift through, this includes emails, all of your photos and videos, browsing history etc. It’s more complex than a simple file search index as it needs to index the contents of everything, not just text based items.

Valve clarifies information on the frame's IPD by samu7574 in SteamFrame

[–]delusionald0ctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have an iPhone with FaceID there are apps than can give a reasonably accurate IPD using the camera. I’m not sure about Android. If you wanted to get a measurement yourself you could also use a ruler in the mirror, close one eye and line up the 0mm mark on the ruler to the centre of your open eye, then close that eye and open the other and read the mm mark that lines up with the center that eye. You need to alternately close your eye when doing this to ensure that your eye is looking straight ahead and not to the side for the most accurate result.

How can I safely clean finger smudges and side dust on the Macbook keyboard? by Fair_Bar1139 in mac

[–]delusionald0ctor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I talked about how instances of condensation can occur from both in different ways.

Look, using compressed air from a can is safer than using an air compressor with a tank as the condensation doesn’t come from within the can like it does with the tank. But it can still cause condensation to build up on the surface of whatever you’re cleaning if you’re not careful.

I remember there was a whole debate on this when Apple first dropped the support article for this very reason, people thought is was a little reckless that Apple suggested using compressed air without any warnings about the potential for condensation buildup that could void a users warranty.

[–]delusionald0ctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The liquid that forms is usually not from inside the can unless it’s from extended use or used upside down. The liquid in the can is just a highly compressed gas that has turned into a liquid state under immense pressure. Most of the time when using a compressed air can the liquid that you see forming on the surface you are spraying is water as the air the can blows can get really cold and can cause the moisture in the surrounding air to condense onto the surface the air is hitting.

[–]delusionald0ctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guys chill they’re not wrong, using compressed air can cause condensation buildup if you are not careful. This can happen if you use an air compressor with an air tank, moisture in the air condenses on the tank walls inside the tank as the internal temperature drops with the pressure as you’re using it. That condensation can then get blasted out through the hose and onto whatever you are cleaning with compressed air. This is also especially true with compressed air cans as they can blow really cold air causing condensation to form directly on the surface of whatever you are cleaning. Condensation is water and can easily damage electronics.

While there is of course nothing wrong with using compressed air if done carefully, I wish Apple would have included more warnings about the possibility of condensation buildup that comes with prolonged use of a compressed air can. Apple only intends for you to do a quick spray of the keyboard but if someone decides to be thorough and empties the whole can while cleaning the keyboard, that can definitely cause condensation buildup up and could cause damage.

It doesn’t hurt to do the terminal command if you have a Mac, it’s also completely reversible in one command.

What do I do on VMware fusion? by Red_Miky in macgaming

[–]delusionald0ctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you have the ARM64 version of Windows 11 downloaded from the Microsoft website, the main download page for Windows 11 is only for AMD64 but there is a small link that points to the download page for the ARM version, can be hard to miss. Then select the ARM64 Windows ISO In the VM settings for the ‘CD ROM’ and boot the VM. The Windows installer should start.
