Another odd stats for me it's the amount of disk space people have :D

Above 1 TB 65.15%
Are people re-using HDDs from their old computers? I have 512GiB for years now and it has been enough.

hello Steam Machines
Hello from a Steam Machine :D

Still working after all these years but known with Linux instead of the preinstalled Windows... and still waiting for Valve OS 3.0 to try it out :D

Happy birthday Steam on Linux.

I kind of hope that Google proved me wrong because it would be a sign of Google improving but since they are still rich, no one cares to course correct.

YouTube thought my Steam Deck video was 'harmful and dangerous'

Does anyone know if the bot, while being wrong, still left a data point of the channel being bad?

I have a vague idea that sometimes, even when someone reverts the bot bad decision the creator still suffers. One of those cases is when a video is wrongly demonetized. You can't re-upload so it's treat as a new video and shown to people because the bot penalizes re-uploads.

Still, the bot is probably doing an average good job on flagging videos but it's very scary when a wrong bot decision can destroy a content creator investment.

"Unsupported" in the Steam page means that they have tested and it does not work.

From their page "Valve's testing indicates these games in your Steam Library currently don't function on Steam Deck. Valve is continuing to add support for more games over time."

This article could be clarified explain what "Unsupported" means.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs there a list of CEG games?
There's no real and the existing public databases don't see to track correctly which games use Steam CEG.

The less bad way to create a list is to check Game issues reference on the Steam CEG GitHub issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/753 [External Link]

This page states a way to find games using Steam CEG bug it seems to create many false positives https://gitlab.com/z-ray-entertainment/lutris-installers/-/wikis/Knowledge-Base/Known-Issues/Proton/Steam-CEG-DRM [External Link]
