It honestly depends on a few factors. Mostly… what games are you planning to play? There’s stuff that can last for 5-8 hours with the Deck battery alone. Here’s a good bit of information: mentions both a maximum of 100wh on power banks and how to calculate wh from volts and ah (V * Ah). So assuming the usual 3.6v power bank the maximum you can carry is a 27000mAh one.

The usual warnings apply: check in advance with your airline, rules and regulations vary around the world and so on.

When I got my current printer I considered a Mini… thankfully it was too bulky to replace the MonoPrice Select Mini, and I ended up replacing that and the Ender 3 with a Sovol SV07 Plus. Looks like it was a lucky choice!

Thanks! I’ll have to find a way to “pitch” this but that’s interesting.

[-] Stampela@startrek.website 3 points 5 days ago

Makes sense! And it does track with my own observations of new indie games being more likely to at least court the Deck platform. Do you have an article with those numbers? I’d like to share it with a small developer that might be interested in this knowledge.

On the other hand, it’s a lowest common denominator they can target. “It runs well on the Deck! We’ve done our job.” and the fact that it sold a lot means it’s a market that it’s probably worth the investment (can’t imagine it’s that much) in making a game work. After all any optimization for the Deck also translates into similarly modest hardware being able to run the game…

Not that I complain! Completely gave up on Windows a few months ago lol

To err is human, I’m not against a company messing up… it’s how they ignored the problem when notified it existed, and then only once it became newsworthy they decided to fix it. That’s not an attitude towards customers that I want to support.

But yes, good power banks. I think they are not as good value as they were years ago (and that’s why I do have tried the other brands mentioned) but regardless of price, I’d expect their power banks and cables to be high quality.

Yes! On Reddit I tried to explain several times that the Deck’s battery was 5200mah but not at 3.7 volts, and as such a badass 25000mah Anker would NOT charge it “at least 4 times” but probably 2.

It’s not a big deal tbh, but this is a thing people use on long flights, spreading misunderstandings can get people stuck mid flight without entertainment.

Brands: right now I would look at iniu first, Baseus and then maybe Ugreen but last time it wasn’t an epic offering. Anker IS a good brand, but after the fiasco with their eufy camera security, I avoid all their products. In fairness however if you’re not going to boycott them, a power bank or charge cable is not going to be a security risk….

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now.

Uh, I feel like this is better taken with a low level of enthusiasm: reading the article there’s no mention of how it’s supposed to improve battery, it’s mentioned how it’s AI based, and most concerning for us, both the Ally and Go use the Z1/Z1 Extreme… that have a 10 tops npu.

Terrible, just terrible. I’m going to share this with everyone I know.

Because ohhhh, yeah, we’re finally getting the Star Trek event! https://modernarmor.worldoftanks.com/en/cms/news/star-trek-challenge/

As per the title, you can just Side Quest the apk, open it, do the login, connect a Bluetooth controller and enjoy. It’s just a big screen, but it’s nice. Also very, very easy to do! I remember when doing this for Stadia it required fiddling a little and, crucially as it was before the support for Bluetooth controllers, Stadia was the only option because the controller was WiFi lol.

As a bonus you could install a browser (here’s my pick https://vivaldi.com/android/ ) and in the future just download apk with that.

You good folks produce so many memes that my phone now can recognize nearly the entire cast of all Star Trek…

I hate this, it’s fun but I can’t share it with anyone because it requires knowledge of that episode

[-] Stampela@startrek.website 37 points 1 year ago

Comments here are fun, seem a 3 way split between people thinking it’s GeForce Experience, game stream, and finally the actual cloud streaming service running your own Steam games.

I made the mistake of updating from 53 to 54 back when it dropped, and since then... let's say that if an activity involves the wifi, I am better off not doing it. Updating apps? lol no. Using the store? The video previews take over half a minute to start playing, and almost immediately stop to buffer again. AirLink / Virtual Desktop? Terrible, TERRIBLE idea. It's not my connection or the network hardware as I tested it on a different network and nothing changed. I've contacted support a few minutes ago, I doubt it will help.

As a noob this is likely me, but I tried to start a community on another server and I can't see the post (my other account used to make said community) made and set as english. Unless it's just me being a noob, that can't be good. A cursory look seems to confirm that I can't see anything aside from "Undetermined".
