Zoolander

Bro, we start selling a Christmas decorations in July in the US. People need to be making money off this shit.

I’m not sure but that’s a potential solution. You’d have to find the older APK somewhere but I feel like it should work since it’s just a Bluetooth connection to the toy.

The funny thing about this is that the first time I had that moment of realization was when I got the Sphero BB-8 toy from my kids for Christmas. It had a dedicated app. The reason it’s funny is because, out of all the things that I own, it’s the only app-driven one that still works. Sphero just merged it into their main app. Once that app stops getting updated, this toy will cease to work despite everything about it being functional. ☹️

Exactly this. I would 100% buy AC: Mirage if it worked on my Apple TV natively (since you can use a controller) and Ubisoft didn’t suck a big fat donkey dick. They can go to hell with their Ubisoft Connect bullshit.

Yes, I got that. That’s why I called them “magical”. I’m pretty sure everyone knows they don’t exist. That’s the point.

Top tier response. Well done. Full marks.

I really want to know the specific “performance enhancing drugs” these people think Biden is using. No hand-waving. Be explicit and tell everyone what magical drugs these are and then let’s test them both for these drugs.

It’s not. At least not the one that I have. That’s why I’m asking.

So, just to be clear, you can plug in the Steam Deck into the Dock and it shows up on the display right away without having to power up/down, plug/unplug, or press any button combos to reset controllers or put it into storage mode? Do you plug it in powered on or off? Can you hot-plug while a game is running or no?

I expected it to work more like the Switch where you plug it in and it switches displays but maybe my expectations are too high?

I can’t even get the Dock to acknowledge that there’s a firmware update despite Valve support saying there are at least 2 newer versions. It has done 1 update in the time that I’ve owned it and no combination of their suggested unplu/plug/restart cycle causes it to start an update.

It never connects on the first try when plugged into the Deck. I always have to plug/unplug the Power, USB, and HDMI cables to get it to switch over. This has been tried with multiple displays, multiple HDMI cables, and with Steam support. If you look on the Steam Community forums, this seems to be a common issue with some of the early Docks and Valve, for whatever reason, has no answers. I finally got them to replace it after nearly a year and only after the warranty is over so I have no idea if it was a defect or something else. Both Docks that we ordered have the same issues, though.

Have they fixed the damn Dock yet?

Voyager. It shows actual usernames and not display names. You’re seeing my display name, not my username.

You know… I totally forgot that I set that as my display name. No offense taken, obviously. I use a third-party Lemmy client so it never shows me that. 🤷‍♂️

Huh?

Used or owned? I own one and bought several for my company and they’re not useless at all. They’re just limited in the AR/VR experiences you can do right now. As a computer, productivity, and production device, it’s far from useless.

Why is a 2 year old article being posted now?

Yeah… a tragic mishap is getting your balls stuck in your zipper because you had to pee so bad you tried to rip your pants off. This is a bit more than a “tragic mishap”. ಠ_ಠ

Not technically in their bedrooms but made by students - Narbacular Drop. It was the game that spawned Portal. It’s not a great game, per se, but I’ll never forget the paradigm-shifting moment I had when I realized what was happening.

Valve ended up hiring the entire team to work on Portal.

I don’t think they could, at least not in the timeframe provided by the EU. That’s the entire (and only) reason they’re reverting to the existing implementation. The existing law, as written, doesn’t seem to apply to PWAs.
