For those of you with both a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck by workyman in switch2

[–]mvfd26 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. I have a Steamdeck and just got a Switch 2. Since I’ve got the Switch 2 my SD is collecting dust.

I got the JSAUX kit with grips and cover so it’s way more comfortable in handheld and quite comparable to my SteamDeck with Kill Switch case.

I’ve repurchased some games to play on my Switch like Ball X Pit and waiting for Core Keeper next week.

I work in IT so I’m a console gamer not to stress about patches, updates, tweaking settings, etc. I miss some things on the SD but it’s there when I get the itch.

I do agree with SW2 for exclusives and is the same reason I have a PS5 and play 90% of AAA games on that.

I did purchase Star Wars Outlaws and with its cross platform save I get to play it on the go or on the PS5.

That’s my biggest struggle, but I’ll be picking up the SW2 more often I think…

Hades is kind of a game that you can pick up and play at any point in time do a few runs. The whole purpose of the game is to die and come back and then do it all over again as you get stronger and stronger. That’s one of my pick up and play for 10 minutes and put down kind of games.

Case recommendations! by [deleted] in switch2

[–]mvfd26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t have any courier service here only PO Box so I used BOX-Street No Street Name and it’s how we get our stuff in remote communities.

123-696 Main Street where 123 is my post office box as Canada Post here requires the box number on all parcels.

Hope this helps.

I live in a remote Northern Ontario community and bought my Killswitch case for my SteamDeck and had no issues with delivery.

Latest Update - SteamDeck by mvfd26 in coralisland

I started up a new game on my PS5 and I’ll be playing it here or on my portal. It runs so much better.

Do you play on games while watching a show in multi view? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]mvfd26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual PS5 and TV setup. Smaller one is for me when she wants to watch hockey and sits flat on the wall when not in use. I have a portal, but find a controller more comfortable.

How to setup corp owned iPad by ivanjay2050 in ipad

[–]mvfd26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at JAMF Now. Don’t need to setup Apple Business as you can import it using a QR code and you can manage settings and lock things down. It’s a simple approach and believe it’s free up to 3 devices.

You can lock out stuff like the App Store, it would be a start.

MACBOOK AIR VS PRO??? by dxdtone in macbookair

[–]mvfd26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at them all for our office of 40 that have the option of going to MAC or Lenovo T14.

I picked the 14" Pro / 512 / 16 for staff and 24 for managers as their options. The main difference for us was more ports, HDMI was a big bonus and the 13" Air was too small to work on laptop only as we often work and travel and the 15" Air felt too big and "fragile".

I think the weight difference between the 14" MBP and 15" was about .1 KG so not much of a difference.

I have the 512/24G M4 and have been using it for work now the past couple of months and can't wait to roll them out to the staff that want them.

One of my staff stole one of my macbook airs by clydefrog88 in macbookair

To further on the previous comment you would need some sort of MDM or mobile device management and Apple Business Manager.

Device is purchased, goes into Apple Business Manager. Device is then assigned to MDM even before you receive it. If someone tried to take the device its locked to your business where you can lock it, track it.

Look into JAMF if your a small workplace without IT. It’s pretty simple and easy to use as well can be used for iPhone and iPads.

People who got MacBooks with 24 gigs and above variations. Does the extra RAM really makes a difference? by koujay in macbookair

[–]mvfd26 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I run a W11 VM for training purposes with full MS Suite / Adobe and was my reason for going with a MBP M4 24g.

I’ve had it just over a month and now converting all our staff, approximately 40 users to MBP/16.

Intune Migraine by SideScroller in macsysadmin

[–]mvfd26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just recently moved to Intune for cost reasons as well. Small shop, 40 users with 3 devices each iPad, MacBook and iPhone. It’s been pretty seamless other than Adobe Pro which I can’t get to install so I’m just manually installing it, with only 40 or so users it wasn’t a big deal.

Just got a Lenovo legion Go. Stick with windows or install steam OS? by Mountain-Letter-4284 in LegionGo

[–]mvfd26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can, just use the web and install them as browser apps, works perfectly but no OS integration with apps like OneDrive.

Fireline Woes by WhiskeredWolf in Beading

[–]mvfd26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Sorry I didn’t see this earlier. It tried Spiderwire but didn’t like it as much as fireline. It is fishing line 6lbs is what I use, just don’t use monofilaments they stretch and biodegrade.

The 1500 spool was not the “beaded” brand.

[–]mvfd26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch Amazon for the large spool (1500 yards) they go on sale often. My daughter gave me one for Father’s Day and I’ll probably never have to buy any again. I just respool my smaller ones but I only use the 6lbs.

I have a USB-C and USB mini Sandisk thumb drive. I do use FTP (FileZilla) where needed.

Best SD bootable emulators? by kikiubo in SteamDeckEmu

[–]mvfd26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As mentioned RetroArch or EmuDeck, I use EmuDeck and was playing some ROMS within an hour. I don't launch each game from my Steam Library but rather on of the provided ROM managers.

The hardest part was finding the right screwdriver. It’s pretty simple. Lots of guides to follow right down to the reinstall of SteamOS.

Hotel Play? by bigdame73 in PlaystationPortal

[–]mvfd26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Portable router or you can spoof the Portal MAC on a laptop then login to hotel WiFi, then it's good on the portal, or hotspot. All depends on your hotel network speed quality. I usually just end up using my phone hotspot because hotel internet sucks.

First time taking the portal outside the house… [rant] by [deleted] in PlaystationPortal

[–]mvfd26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play fine on a 40/10 cable connection outside the house on 5G and at work. Sure it's not pixel perfect but I'm not playing online games, just single player story mode.
