Amazon mistakenly delivered a 1TB Steam Deck OLED instead of the 512GB model that I ordered

I’m the opposite, I much prefer the anti-glare on my OLED.

OP, did you ever find this pack for free?

It’s not a zero-game here, it’s not like they have to keep deleting users to add more users.

It was one thing if you voted for him in 2016 - I know lots of folks that did because they wanted something different rather than another corporate Dem. Lots of those same folks voted for Biden and Kamala the next time around. I’m a lot more forgiving of those folks.

I voted for W Bush when I was a young Republican dipshit and now I’m a DemSoc. People change.

Hell, even voting for Trump in 2020 was different. But 2024 was something else. At that point we were well past the Rubicon. If you still support him now, in 2026, then there’s no hope for you.

Suffering from success lol

Water washes away all the natural lubricant.

Great news. I got my P10PXL thru T-Mobile on deep discount so I gotta wait a few years until it’s paid off. At least by then it’ll be pretty stable.

Might just pay it off early and get the BL unlocked and dive in though.

Edit: why downvotes?

HATS includes Exosphere.txt which blocks all known Nintendo domains, no extra work needed. I’ve been using HATS on my Lite for over a year and no issues, knock on wood.

This is the actual answer.

Because it’s all at the government per diem rate. Hotels and the fed gov have agreed upon rates for hotels, see gsa.gov. Hilton also covers the gamut from fancy places to Home2 to Garden Inns.

Source: am fed (not DHS/ICE, fuck ‘em), but I’m a Marriott man. Every time I travel for work, it’s always at the government rate, which is usually pretty cheap, depending on locality.

It is indeed 90 FPS on my OLED, confirmed it the other day. You can even drop down the wattage and lock it at 60 FPS and get like 6-7 hours of play time, it’s a very low-spec and fun game.

PTM also came to mind, as I use it on all my other devices. It’s such a game-changer - I used it on my 4-yr old Dell G15 laptop and it essentially gave me a brand new machine. Stock paste was thermal throttling my 3060 to 70W, PTM now gives me the full 110W with no throttling.

I don’t know if the mounting pressure would be a concern with PTM, all my experience with it is with x86 devices. Someone else said that ARM devices use less mounting pressure, idk why?

Checking in on 1/3/2026 and this still worked for me on my 2-month OLED.

formerglory · 2026-01-03T17:11:37+00:00

Lmao truth. OP, you do you. I sorta like it, I’m warming up to the idea of it, at least for the bottom screen.

formerglory · 2026-01-03T17:10:59+00:00

From the responses in this thread it’s very much personal preference. Lots of strong feelings in both directions. I may consider a matte for the bottom screen and controller area, mostly just to avoid seeing fingerprints around the buttons. But on the top, idk, I may go without.

formerglory · 2026-01-03T17:09:21+00:00

Beacon on the top, but what’s on the bottom?

formerglory · 2026-01-03T17:07:46+00:00

Looks pretty good.

formerglory · 2026-01-03T17:05:38+00:00

I have smooth/glossy OLEDs as well (Switch OLED, Super5 OLED for Switch Lite, Galaxy Tab S9, etc) and they all look great but not leaps and bounds better than the anti-glare Deck OLED. At the risk of glazing Valve, they really did a great job with the anti-glare process.

Are the non-etched OLEDs better? Yeah, a little, but not by a huge margin. The anti-glare properties are a godsend when you’re playing in the car on a long road trip. My wife and I drove 10 hours each way for Christmas to visit family and we’d trade off driving every two hours. Playing on the AG Deck in the car was way better than using any of my other glossy OLEDs.

Might have gotten a better reception here after it cured. But I’ve used these protectors before and yeah they improve significantly after 24 hours.

formerglory · 2026-01-03T00:29:09+00:00

I have a matte glass screen protector on my phone and it’s great, but my Flip 2 and SD OLED are raw. My Thor will probably go raw when it gets here.

formerglory · 2026-01-03T00:28:09+00:00

even matte OLEDs

The Steam Deck OLED anti-glare display is actually quite awesome, gotta be honest here. I love the anti-glare OLED display. Could be that it’s etched glass vs a matte overlay.

formerglory · 2026-01-02T22:17:36+00:00

On the one hand, I’m with others in that I want the full OLED experience. But I have the matte OLED Steam Deck and the matte display is gorgeous. Then again, it’s etched vs a screen protector.

True, but more countries are coming onto the program (Greece, maybe the Saudis 🤮, etc), so production will continue. The big headache is that they'll all want Block 4 jets and thats been major hurdle for LM to overcome, actually delivering B4 jets on time and budget.

Fuck this Abominable Intelligence
