Any recommendations on a piracy-friendly e-reader? I don’t want to go around the world to get root access either if I can help it.

Am I brain damaged or is part of the joke the fact that the screenshot isn’t legible?

Ninja Edit Nevermind. The Boost app seems to default to low res images.

I would trust Gabe’s judgement 100%. Dude runs one of the most pro-consumer companies in history. In doing so, he has built a fiercely loyal fan base by simply being good to his customers; not trying to squeeze them for every single cent.

Gabe is a rarity; part of a bygone era of business owners and software engineers who truly care about their projects and want to build things that they themselves want to use and play. He’s a smart man and Valve has been his baby since he left Microsoft. He’ll make sure it’s in good hands when and if retirement comes calling.

Look at Daddy Warbucks over here.

At one point the Steam Deck design and engineering team strongly opposed installing a third party SSD for various reasons ranging from power draw to EMI. Is this still the case?

I’ve been a tinkerer since I was a child and have no problem tearing into electronics for the hell of it, but I also have the wisdom to listen to people who know more than I do. I’d rather not damage my expensive toy.

It’s a good selling point for the 512GB model. I don’t have to see how fugly I am during my loading screens.

I love my Steam Deck and have recently made small steps in my journey away from Windows. I installed Pop OS on a laptop. Do you have any tips that might make that transition easier?

Thanks in advance. 👍

People who don’t use ad blockers get a MUCH different experience. Especially on mobile. I made the decision to pony up the cash for an app called AdGuard years ago. It hosts its own VPN locally on your phone and filters traffic through it. The first time I learned how it worked I thought “Damn, that’s a really good idea!”
