I'm sure someone else said this but: community hardware game profiles including full control of the number of cores that are enabled. Some games perform better with fewer cores at higher speeds.

As someone who got a very early Deck I'll wait until version 1.1 of the Dock.

It is fun. But it's overpriced for what it is.

Quoting: benjamimgoisIt looks good ! Maybe its just me, but i always got lost in the bottles UI and config options. Maybe a small video tutorial would make things easy.

Valve testing new mobile Steam app with QR codes for sign ins

Quoting: belisamaSo this is using a QR code to log into the website? Ugh, what's the point of that, logging into a real website on a real computer is easy. With something like KeePass, it's just a few keystrokes. What would actually be useful is using QR codes to log into phone apps, instead of having to do a prolonged, error-prone hunt-and-peck.
What you are avoiding isn't just the username/pass. It's the 2-factor code (which is also a pain in the butt).

The app already knows when you are trying to sign in. Why not just ask. "Are you trying to sign in?" [YES] [NO]. Having to extra steps is still a pain in the ass.
