OLED Deck looks dope and I'm jealous of folks grabbing one but now I'm also interested in this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5pTpB9x-es I haven't kept up with the thread for a while but I do remember some folks in the thread with the previous version - previously known as NReal - and being positive on it.

The price on these xreal goggles seems kind of high; could almost get a quest 3. I assume the pro will be pretty close to same price. And then if you get the beam accessory... yikes. I have no idea if a steam deck can output to quest 3, though.

homeless snail posted:Putting a glossy protector on top of a matte screen is psychotic and does nothing about the anti glare treatment continuing to scatter light while also adding obnoxious reflections on top of it. While I am very careful with my stuff, I would still like to put a screen protector on it for peace of mind. So unless there are matte ones it will happen regardless. And I do find it odd that it seemingly makes such a difference since it sounds counter intuitive. And I know the example used isn't a pure black but at least on camera it seems like the colors pop a bit more. But to be honest, I kinda like the "satin"-looking appearance of the etched screen.

Today my 3 month old deck gives me a 0% battery and won’t charge. Guess I’ll try a slow charger and then probably just replace the battery. I know I could probably RMA but I don’t want to undo the storage and joystick mods. I’m sure it’s coincidental that this happened the day valve announced a hardware refresh.

Just throw the old ssd back in, assuming you still have it.

It’s seems putting it on a slow charger has brought the battery back to life with no issues. Wonder why the bms lets it over discharge.

I want an OLED deck, but I can’t really justify getting it unless I can trade in my current system towards one. It would be an easier decision if they also bumped up the graphics processing capabilities, but as it stands, it’s still basically two year-old hardware that’s probably on the cusp of being replaced in another year or two.

In the interview I watched a few months ago they said there is a possibility of a refresh but it wouldn’t have a performance boost, which is exactly what happened. Afaik the barrier right now is battery tech more than anything.

I think the Pro will likely have a practical performance improvement from reduced thermal throttling, no? The node shrink and better cooling seem like they’d provide that.

Digital Foundry says the thermals plus mildly faster memory transfer speeds amounted to an on-average 5% performance increase.

The Deck being a popular-ish platform that presents a fixed hardware performance target for developers is one of its main selling points. Valve would be foolish to throw that away so quickly by immediately releasing a high-performance variant.

valve is gonna get wrecked by those install fees  I will say that one thing that would completely sell me on the Steam Deck OLED would be if the thing isn't a jet engine. The Steam Deck on the windows side is kind of loud unless you use that fan controller program someone made which will get you banned by anticheat and the Ally at this point is also super loud. I ran MW3 on my Ally last night and besides the fact that the thing was going to light on fire in my hands (was hitting 94c), it was loud as all get out. Not as much of an issue if you have headphons but I also don't want my wife to kill me

Cutedge posted:valve is gonna get wrecked by those install fees Word is due to the OLED having better thermals, less power usage, and a larger fan (so it can spin slower), it is quieter. Quieter doesn't mean it's not still a jet engine though, I don't think I've seen any hard numbers.

Oled looks loving sick but I'm fine with just using my current deck until a proper successor is released down the road. It's cool to have options though, especially for new buyers. It's wild to me that people have been clamoring for a higher performance model since like a week after release. Not even 2 years ago a fully portable gaming PC at a very affordable price point seemed like Sci Fi poo poo. It still kind of does. I'm still kind of blown away by what my Steam Deck is capable of. it still feels new to me. Can't think of a single time I have found myself wishing I could buy a new one. I'd rather use this thing until it feels old and I can be blown away again by a significant upgrade a few years from now.

Pushing it is counterproductive on a handheld anyway because then you eat through the battery. I like playing dumb little games like Brotato on it, at 40hz, for hours on end (or until my hands start cramping tbqh)

Nvidia won’t ever release open source Linux drivers and Intel lmao.

 Ran into this issue earlier tonight - a perfectly fine MicroSD card that was working fine earlier suddenly isn't mounting. Any idea of how to repair the card, if only so that I can quickly copy over save files? I (probably foolishly) had my EmuDeck installation and all my games on the card, as well as the save files, otherwise I'd just reformat it, no problem.

Coheed and Camembert posted:Sure, here it is. Thanks for taking a stab at it. looks like there’s some filesystem corruption (at least one piece, but I think it stops after the first error and the location is early in the FS) I’m on my phone, but if you google for “fsck steam deck sd card” someone will show the steps for running a filesystem check on your sd card. you might end up losing some files, but you should at least be able to get the rest off if you want and then I would replace the sd card

By default but some people format their sd cards exfat or btrfs and fix their fstabs which doesn't survive updates, just making sure thats not whats going on here because it looks like it got blown away
