YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
  • Apparently a hot take, but I don't have an issue with this, as long as they're picture ads, not videos. An option to hide them temporarily would be good if you're trying to read something. Maybe you'd need to hold a key or something. To me this is much less intrusive than 3 videos ads at the beginning of a video.

    All of that said, I pay for premium, as I watch enough YouTube for it to be very very justified. I've probably saved weeks of my time not watching ads, plus it supports creators more than the ads ever do.

  • Questions about the safety of Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' system are growing
  • There was an story a while back where it was discovered that Tesla focuses their efforts on the routes taken by creators (and other influencial people), to intentionally make self driving look better than it is.

  • What are some video games that you would show up to a local tournament for?
  • Me? None. I just play for fun, I'd lose bad.

    If there was going to be a game I'd show up for it'd be Forza Horizon, I've got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven't been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.

  • You can set text as a modifier in Orca
  • It isn't that bad. Just needs a bit of z-offset adjustment. Your comment isn't helpful as it's just an insult, not constructive criticism. Tell OP what they need to change to make their first layer not bad, don't just tell them it sucks.

  • [PSA] The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
  • Ahh, yeah, I'd guess the ecosystem isn't that large yet, as updates roll out to Android devices n such. I haven't really tested mine in the real world yet. I've been meaning to.

    One time I got a notification that someone was tracking me with a tracker. It was my own wallet that is registered to my account lol.

  • [PSA] The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
  • Yeah, it's cool that Google has finally got their shit together with that. What's fascinating is that Google and Apple worked together to provide cross device notifications if an Air tag is following an Android or a Google FindMy tracker is following an iPhone.

  • [PSA] The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
  • It works like Tile and Apple's FindMy network, mostly through Bluetooth I believe. Every single phone running android (and with the setting enabled) can ping the location of your trackable when nearby. It's just like Tile, except with a network of every single Android device instead of just Tile users. If you're unsure how Tile or Air tags work, then you might have bit more research to do that's outside the scope of this comment.

    I'm not sure what you mean by enable it, the first step would be to purchase a compatible trackable. Currently there are only two brands making them, unless others have started since I bought mine. Pebblebee seems to be the more popular ones, and that's what I went with.

    If you want to play around with the app, you can download it here, but there won't be much to do in it until you have a trackable.

  • [PSA] The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
  • Heads up, Google now has a FindMy network like Apple's that'll update much more frequently than a Tile due to the sheer number of users. The downside, as compared to a tile, is that it'll notify the thief that a tracker is following them.

  • Fun to find an interesting use case for the MCM in the form of my on-the-go Aeropress caddy

    The MCM arch holds the grinder handle in place which keeps it from flopping around, and keeps the grinder in the caddy. It's a really clean and easy solution for this unique problem.

    I talk more about the caddy in this video if you're interested - Timestamped Link

    On Friday a video will be out where I talk more about the final version (shown in the video attached to this post), but the function is quite similar, just with the correct measurements because measuring is hard...

    I would be happy to share the STL, but I haven't yet as I figure not too many folks have the exact same aeropress setup as I do with the scale and grinder, and I'm lazy (but honest at least!)

    First multiplayer impromptu SteamDeck session.

    I'm at a friend's house for the night and was invited to an among us group. Installed among us and discord, had everything working (after a restart) within 10 minutes. I was shocked that simply adding a keybind for mute/deafen just worked. Yet another "it's just a computer" moment. I'll have to get that discord overlay thing working at some point.

    In addition, the mic seems to work pretty well without using headphones, though I can't hear myself obviously.

    I wasn't considering upgrading to the OLED because I didn't use the device enough, but man, I might...

    Is quick reply missing?

    I'm moving over from boost for reddit, and am missing the quick reply functionality. Am I just missing it, is it actually missing, and is it planned?

    Loving the app so far, it's made the transition easy.
