New update on the SteamOS beta channel, lets OLED users control the brightness of the charging led. Also includes a fix for WiFi failing to connect and an issue with HDR through some display port connections becoming desaturated.

Damn OLED model and it's superiority increasing...

[–] Nima@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

it just said for the OLED version. Does it not apply to the LCD version? I am trying to find it, but I'm having no luck.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The OLED has an upgraded led that can do different colors and brightnesses. I don't know if the mono-color LCD led can change brightness, but I imagine it can't.

Ahhh I see. I didn't know that. I think I was just hoping for a solution to dim the normal white charging indicator.

thanks very much for the reply.

This is a problem with a ton of electronics nowadays, and unfortunately the general solution is pretty low tech -- just tape over it or they sell specialized stickers for this too.

I think the LED brightness control is OLED only per the document. But I could be wrong.

[–] Nima@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

oh I getcha. another comment told me the LED can change colors on the OLED so I was confused.

Oh nice, I think I was seeing the WiFi failing to connect bug on my devices. It was an easy enough solution when it happened, but the stability will be nice.
