The Limited Warranty does not apply if the Hardware:

In other words, simply changing SSD doesn't void warranty, but damaging the Steam Deck in the process of doing so does.

For games that doesn't support Steam Cloud for saves etc., or in general moving files over to the Steam Deck from your PC, I highly recommend setting up Syncthing.

It's available on the Discover store in desktop mode and can be set up to run as a service to ensure that it's always running on Steam Deck, if you're so inclined. There's a myriad of guides out there if you search around, should you need help setting it up.

The kbin enhancement script is also a great little tool to completely hide anything originating from NSFW domains that's listed in the script.

Not much was lost. Both Gizmodo and Kotaku content have already been indistinguishable from poorly generated AI content for ages now.

You can start by boosting instead of using the arrow, which is actually currently only counting as favoriting and does nothing to counter any reduces on a post. It's an oversight that's being worked on and will eventually change, as I've understood it.

And now nitter no longer works.

It'd have to be a game with high modability, like the Quake, Half-Life, Unreal, Elder Scrolls or Bethesda Fallout games. Hard to say which one of them I'd prefer in this situation, but definitely one of those. They all have the ability for total conversion mods, essentially giving an infinitely extendable experience.

Definitely will be keeping my eye on this one.

I like how the userscript Kbin Subscriptions Panel groups magazines/communities with identical names. Makes me wish I could press something that opens up all these identically named ones into one "feed".

OVPN still seems to support port forwarding, though it's worth pointing out they were recently acquired by Pango.

I highly recommend using nitter instances to look at content from Twitter. And with the excellent LibRedirect extension, the process becomes seamless and you can bounce between instances as you please.

 

Could be good news regarding performance on Steam Deck.

 

I want to share an awesome tool called SteamDeck Refresh Rate Unlocker that I recently discovered. This script offers the ability to unlock the refresh rate of your Steam Deck's display, extending beyond the default range of 40Hz to 60Hz. With this tool, you can now achieve a maximum refresh rate of 70Hz, and even lower rates like 20Hz if that suits your preferences.

The script offers several presets to choose from, including:

  • 20Hz to 60Hz
  • 20Hz to 70Hz
  • 30Hz to 60Hz
  • 30Hz to 70Hz
  • 40Hz to 70Hz

While 70Hz may not be necessary for demanding games and may not be suitable for everyone, it's definitely worth a try, especially if you're sensitive to lower refresh rates. Increasing the refresh rate to 70Hz makes the display 17% faster. Personally, as someone accustomed to a 240Hz screen on my PC, I find it really beneficial for a smoother experience. Both my eyeballs and braincells are grateful.

I'd like to express my gratitude to ryanrudolfoba for developing this fantastic tool. Their dedication to enhancing the Steam Deck experience is highly appreciated!

Keep in mind that overclocking the display panel to 70Hz might cause artifacts on some panels. Just a friendly reminder to proceed with caution.
