Steam Deck OLED is truly an Incredible device and I absolutely adore it, but here's what would make a revised Steam Deck absolutely perfect:

- 1080p playable at >60fps in 99.99% of games
- Proper high-quality rumble
- Improved speakers (the LCD was slightly better)

That's it. Same form factor, battery life, performance profile for native resolution, buttons, it really doesn't need anything else.

Typical late-night gaming session as a dad of 3:

0:00: Realize the game is close to 100GiB and isn't downloaded yet
0:20: Boot up the game, let's do this!
0:25: Baby wakes up and needs help falling asleep
0:45: Restart game to actually see the intro
1:05: Middle one screams due to a nightmare, everyone is awake
1:40: Sit down and resume, where was I
2:20: Finished the tutorial section!
2:25: Oldest wets the bed
2:55: Wife asks where tf I'm going at 3am, good question

Solid tutorial area 5/5

Recently, I've stabilized* 4x32GB dimms of dual-rank 3200MHz DDR4 memory on a Ryzen 3000 platform, for a total of 128GB, which is generally out of reach.

Nice feat, but totally bizarre requirements:

- VTTDDR of 0.675V (for 1.2V RAM)
- VDDG IOD of 1.02V (for 1.05V SOC)

I've overclocked Ryzen and non-Ryzen systems before and these were never that important. If I change any of these, stability is gone. 🤷‍♂️

Apple insists 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro is analogous to 16GB on PCs. Can I insist that $1500 for the M3 is analogous to $3000?

Duty to repair. That's the critical shift after the right to repair is widespread.

It's not enough to make it possible and easy to repair things. It also needs to be an established expectation if the circular economy is truly going to work at some point. And it's much more challenging to rely on people accepting responsibility and doing the work.

For example, the best retro gaming and homelab communities I'm aware are both on Discord. So much good content and valuable interactions, behind closed gates, never to be seen again. 🙃

Communities flocking to closed platforms like Discord from Xitter and Reddit is a major loss for the Web. Having it all publicly available (and indexed by search engines) has always been a main ingredient of the open Web, and we're slowly losing it.
