Yea I agree $40k is a bit disingenuous. But the cost of a car is more than the car itself. It's better to view it as a ongoing expense of fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc. AAA estimates between 7-10k a year. https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/average-annual-cost-of-new-vehicle-ownership

I got it for free with a CPU I bought. Played roughly 3 hours before I stopped. It was just too boring.

I didn't grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.

Aspartame has about the same amount of calories as sugar (4kcal per gram). But it's much more sweet so you need very little of it. So there is a very tiny amount of sweetener which does contain calories but it's rounded down to 0.

It does work for most games. MPV player supports it as well. It's still rough around the edges, but it's definitely there.

I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I'm not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.

On the Steam Deck it already "just works" for a lot of games (with an OLED or an external display). So we're not that far off for those changes propagating to Desktop.

If you get the latest gamescope from git. You no longer need the vulkan layer.

Yes to those and the battery is bigger. 50Wh vs 40

Not surprisingly, North Korea's Red Star OS has a closed source fork of KDE.

To their credit, they released a tool to patch the bios yourself. Which is about all they can do in case they stop existing. https://github.com/DeckHD/BiosMaker

I like the game, but it doesn't take advantage of the Steam Deck's touch pads at all. A hybrid mouse/controller scheme would work very well for this type of game. And atm you can't even make a custom hybrid control scheme because switching between m/kb and controller is bugged.
