Valve’s Good Guy Image Makes Up For The Steam Deck’s Problems in c/[email protected]

As someone who games at 4k on a video card from 2017, I can confirm that VRR is a must-have feature for gaming at lower frame rates.

VRR means that falling off your set frame rate doesn't matter. 56 FPS is just as smooth as 60 FPS. If something explodes and the game drops to 40 for a second, you don't really notice.

Even scanning over the network works on Linux on my Brother MFP. I really didn't expect that.

What's that, you want government to make it worse? Here, have some stage 3 tax cuts.

Just received my new BYD Atto 3 (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

I took delivery this afternoon. It's running software version 1.0, so it doesn't have the fixes, Android Auto, etc from newer software versions. It also doesn't have mobile data active yet. This apparently comes after they send delivery confirmation through to BYD and the mothership acknowledges that the car belongs to a customer now. Trying to update it on wifi doesn't work, it just claims it's on the current version.

First impression: it's quiet. It's just quiet all the time. Not just when you're rolling down a hill or along a flat, but accelerating up a hill. There's no engine noise.

Yes, I know there's no engine noise because there's no engine, but this point bears repeating. For the entire first hour, I drove around town with the A/C fan on low and music turned off just listening to the absence of noise. It's quiet.

The silence makes driving it feel effortless. There's no roaring engine, you accelerate up a steep hill and it just smoothly glides up the hill. Not even the hitch of an automatic transmission switching gears, it just smoothly accelerates from zero to the speed limit.

I knew there were no gears and I knew EVs didn't have engine noise, but somehow I just wasn't ready for a car to silently glide up a hill.

  1. Slice both sides off the mango
  2. Use the edge of a glass to separate the mango flesh from the skin
  3. Take the chunk of mango in your hand and carefully cut it up with a blunt knife. Put the pieces of mango in a bowl.
  4. Peel off the strip of skin left on the seed and eat the bit of mango that's still attached to the seed.
  5. Have a bath.
  6. Eat the bowl of mango with a fork.

If they did, Apple wouldn't adopt it and we'd be in exactly the same place as we are now.

Valve have said they aren't planning on a new Steam Deck until there's substantial technology improvements, so I wouldn't expect to see one for at least a couple of years yet.

The other day I ordered a BYD Atto 3.

For ages I've seen people who ordered Teslas posting pictures of the charger they've had installed even though they won't be receiving the car for ages. I remember one even painted the whole garage red and white with a Tesla logo on the wall. I thought they were quite silly.

I currently have 12 tabs open for various EV chargers. I get it now.

Anyone know what sort of waiting times BYD have at the moment? The order page still just says "Order Received" and hasn't moved on to "In Production".
