Thanks for the thorough explanation!

Then it's a mystery why the didn't use Hall effect joysticks. It the cost of the part so much more expensive?

While Nintendo is absolutely to blame for not fixing the situation, I've heard they were not going for hall effect sticks because of the interference with the joycons magnets.

Full disclosure, I have no Switch, Retrodeck Enthusiast here 😁

It's pretty funny and depressing at the same time...

Awesome idea. In base 64 to deal with all the funky characters.

It will be really nice to browse this filesystem...

What guarantees you that your cheap Chinese-made charge-only cable does not actually contain some malware injection in the hardware (connectors or cable rim) :p

Well she is having fun now, but soon it'll be my turn enjoying the life, tinkering the Steam Deck to configure the emulators. Bliss!

Thanks for the Cassette Beasts recommendation. It was already on my wishlist but I'll bump it up.

Thanks for the news!

Since I am in holidays, away from my gaming computer, I've only played Bloons TD6 and a bit of Vampire Survivors....

On the other hand, my daughter took my new Steam Deck and played:

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara. A nice platforming game, a bit small on the screen of the Deck.
Monster Sanctuary. A Pokémon-like Metroidvania, with turn-based battles alla old Final Fantasy games. This one is perfect for the Deck.

I never watched the show so I am not sure.

Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch? in c/linux@programming.dev

Wrong, some were mentioned:

These systems offer some seriously compelling stuff - updates that either work 100% or roll back automatically, no more "oops I bricked my system" moments, better security through immutability, and way fewer update headaches.

Some interesting answers.

EDIT: even better.
