You’d know if your desktop monitor was oled. Especially with how much they cost. Phones not so much since a lot of mid range ones will be OLED.

Easiest method is open a black image. Is the screen 100% off, no light being emitted by it? If there’s light it’s LCD. If there’s no light then it’s OLED, or a fancy LCD with dimming zones. Use your (white) cursor to activate the zones and see if you see light squares. If you can’t then it’s OLED, or mini/micro LED. And once again you’d probably know it’s one of the two by the price you paid, or it’s a MacBook Pro.

Is it OLED?

If not it’s an LCD.

The biggest issues this article points out seem like failures of the IT department/teachers (or those telling the teachers how to teach).

It’s not hard to block a kid from running minecraft, and relying on duolingo to teach your kids is just idiotic. Why send them to school in the first place if they could just as easily do duolingo at home? Only let the kids have their devices out when it’s necessary for the assignment, and have them put them away when it’s not.

Once they do they’ll share it with friends and it will make its way around.

It’s literally what I did in school

On an LCD screen it’s using less power to not block the light from coming through.

I’m legitimately impressed by that.

120-140w. That’s with 5 hard drives spinning 24/7 and now a GPU I added in there to do mostly nothing. Would be 100-120 without it.

Every time I use screen I forget how it works. Doesn’t matter if it was an hour ago I forgot either how to detach, or how to reattach.

Even if there was an intake in the keyboard it wouldn’t dramatically affect anything. My P1 does partially intake through the keyboard and closing the lid has no appreciable performance impact. I only leave the lid open so the display doesn’t get baked by the i9 using 70+ watts.

Nah this is painful to use unless I have my arms almost fully extended. And I’m not even that big of a person.

Much like the OG controller, ergonomics are not valve’s forte.

People not reading more than the title of bad headlines.

32gb was the “no worries” amount of ram for a gaming system. Specifically running games AND other programs.

People read it as you need 32 gigs to do anything then got mad.

I’ve had quite the oposite experience. My PS4 controller never gave me any problems for the 6ish years I had it. But the OG steam controller is the only controller I’ve ever broken. I like to think I treat my stuff well because I’ve never had any issues besides stick drift on any controller I’ve ever owned. But in the limited time I used a steam controller I managed to break it twice. After the second time I just got rid of it.

Like 6 months ago I found one at a thrift store and it’s rough too. I should dig it out before the new one arrives.

Bomb proof is not how I’d describe the OG steam controller. Maybe a bomb? They were not built well.

But what they do have is fuck tons of vram which is very important for AI workloads.

Apple was one of the co developers of USB C.

The law doesn’t actually force USB C. It’s whatever the standard the USB IF says. So if USB D comes out and they say it’s the best then they’ll switch to that.

The CPU may not use too much power, but the chipset and all the supporting circuitry will. Supporting 4/8channel memory aint free. And RAM can use a ton of power too.

Not with TrueNAS, ZFS is a RAM hog. They suggest 8gb minimum, and you really don’t want the minimum AND adding more stuff on top. That said 16gb isn’t too painful.

If you want a NAS on the cheap my preference is just get any cheap “normal” PC, a case with a good amount of HDD bays. Move the drives into the PC, and you have all the expand ability you could dream of. You can find plenty of DDR4 machines for cheap now. Then as ram prices come down you can go up to 128gb of ram as long as your board has 4 slots.

Anything on craigslist/FB marketplace will work.

The steam deck is like a foot wide so the vertical grips are comfortable with that. The vertical grips of the controller that’s 5”(?) wide doesn’t seem as great.
