As a very happy Steam Deck owner, some of your points are valid, but frankly aren't so important (yes, not all games run, and if this was my only possible gaming hardware I would be upset - but I'm OK with only 70%ish of my catalogue being suitable for the Deck).
The native windows option is completely uninteresting to me, but it would largely address the remaining portion of incompatible games, leaving only the performance limitations to contend with - those are quite real and can indeed degrade your experience, depending on what you're trying to play. Given the immense backlog in my personal games library I don't care - it's the perfect excuse to pick up some 4..10 year old titles and enjoy them - but I could be an outlier here. I have racked quite a few hours of Skyrim though, and it's awesome.

The docked mode doesn't come with a higher performance profile because you're already pretty much at the power/thermal limits of the device, and AC power won't address those. And the dock not being part of the box is a bit of a non-issue where a 15$ USB-C PD/HDMI hub allows you to plug it into a big screen and use it as a controller.

Worth noting:

Between the crazy electricity prices in EU (my PC when the 3080 is active uses over half a kilowatt, that's easily 400 EUR/year worth of electricity) and the crazy convenience of instant suspend/resume and being able to play on the go, I find myself using the deck more and more often compared to the PC.

--------Editing since you added a couple items to your post:

> Some Deck-exclusive features and API so that it can be an independent platform in its own right, instead of just a mobile PC. Maybe things like the advanced haptics of the PS5 controller.

Absolutely not! That's the complete opposite of the deck's philosophy.... it's awesome BECAUSE it's "just a mobile PC", and exclusivity deals are absolutely poisonous. It's already an "independent platform" - it's called Steam and millions of people love it to bits.

I like mine as well I’ve used it a quite a bit and it works great after my first one had some battery life issues. I contacted support tried a bunch of things to no avail. But they got me a working one in short order.

Minor issues is that it could use a usb a port. One of the things I tried was reinstalling the os from a usb stick for my initial battery issue..

The screen is great. The software sometime asked me how the game experience was as its running under wine/proton.
There is https://www.protondb.com/ for compatability checks but steam now lists games that “run great on the deck” which means new ones will probably test on it. There is a plug-in I was told about that integrates those scores into the steam software.

The screen is great except for board games which benefit from screen size, but it’s a portable.

Overall a great device, especially if you have a stash of steam games you got and been meaning to play..

Anyone else just read content in source?
My concern (for non-paying or low-paying side projects) is not so much the difference between $5 and $10 for monthly hosting - that's like the difference between one or two cups of coffee - but what safeguards are in place to prevent me from inadvertently exceeding an expected amount due to a high traffic spike, misconfigured cloud function or whatever.

So I don't really care if one service costs x2 if the difference is between 5 and 10, but I care a lot if I could accidentally end up with a $2000 bill one day (and warnings don't count - not much good if I get a warning if I'm away from my laptop in a log cabin or something).
Your example in Haskell:

Which is why a good secondary source is so valuable. A good secondary source will combine multiple primary sources, add some objectivity, and come up with something that is closer to the truth of what happened than any one primary source.
> I’ve been playing basically all I would’ve been playing on the PS5 I wanted to get

One of the most surprising benefits of getting a real PS5 has been the DualSense haptics. It's more than just a gimmick and makes a real difference in games that utilize it well: Demon's Souls, Ghost of Tsushima, Doom Eternal, No Man's Sky...

Combat feels so solid, with every hit and clang of a sword ringing in your hand (literally, with the audio from the controller) and guns having distinct effects via the trigger resistance.

After you've tried that, playing non-DualSense games feels so dead in the hand. There's almost a physical discomfort from the lack of that extra dimension of sensation and interactivity.

Isn't that a good thing? I see this as a victory sign of feminism. Women no longer have to live their lives as a second class citizens. Marry > have kids > raise them etc. This is not the default path anymore and of course than means a lot of men would end up alone. Just a natural balancing and how things should have always been.
I wonder what the wasm-backend people are doing that the embedded-backend people aren’t — I’d have thought embedded was even more particular about small size, but I just started playing with rust-esp32 and found that “hello world” is 15MB (to be fair it’s only 4MB with debug info stripped)...
Why does there need to be a way out? Everyone just seems to assume that feeding model output into the training set is going to break things, but I don't get why.

AlphaZero learned to play chess and go training purely on its own data. Why is inserting the best outputs from GPT-4 into the training set for GPT-5 expected to make things worse? To me, it sounds like it could even be desirable.
Pure speculation, especially because most of this all is, but in keeping with wild assumptions:

They're divorced, after their high status husbands traded in for a younger model.

The solution seems to be for 20-something men and 40-something women to find some common ground. Hormone levels seem appropriate for that match anyway, as both groups are slightly past their peak lifetime levels.
> If you install Windows, apparently Microsoft doesn't allow you to get updates (on W11) because of the Deck's lack of a "TPM".

I have installed Win 11 on my Deck because Easy Anti-Cheat does not work with Proton yet and have no issues with updates. The latest firmware (BIOS) seems to work fine for Win 11 requirements and I receive updates for Windows as well as new drivers from Windows Update.
While I work in data and do appreciate the sentiments in some ways, I'm not sure this feeling is unique to any type of office work?

> This seems like a viciously difficult problem to solve to me. How do you hire someone for a city's transport agency who has the ability to manage a multi-billion dollar construction project? Anyone with those skills will surely be able to earn 10x more in the private sector.

You recruit and reward just like any employer. The issue is that in government it looks bad to be paying market rate for talent, and yet the optics and blowing money on consultants with no results is practically ignored. Oh and there’s the plausible deniability when the consultant goes off the rails.

Our federal government up here in Canada can’t tie its shoe’s without a consultant. Gutting government in favour of private consultants is a really really big problem that’s being actively pursued, marketed, and lobbied for by these firms. In fact a lot of politicians come from consultancies (like McKenzie) and the ties are blatent. So basically capture.

No it isn't. The comment to stop eating carbs was aimed at someone who is trying to do a half marathon in less that 2 hours. Like you say yourself this is way to short to deplete your carbs, so to just stop eating carbs seems like exactly the "bad advice that needs a lot of heavy caveats" that the parent poster was talking about.

So one person complains that it gave a "wrong" answer to contradictory input, and now you don't want it to guess at disambiguation. If we were this hard on kids when they're learning they'd be brought to tears.

BTW does anybody notice that this thing is handling abstract notions like "Event A, B and C" better than a lot of people do?
you.. carry a monitor? how is a steam deck, a keyboard and a monitor better than just having a laptop? also how does the monitor survive this, do you put in in the original box?

Is it kind of like events getting emitted and handled? I'm just a little fuzzy on what's creating the data/request/effect, and then where it's sending that once it's created, and then where the "drivers" would come from and how they would get invoked.
Cloud storage is an important option, among several others. It complements, but does not replace, other forms of backing up stuff that you really don't want to lose.

(It goes without saying that you have to have more than one place to store your backups.)
It's insane that news sites with thousands or even millions of monthly users have paywalls like this. Sure it's great for anyone who wants to read for free, but some individuals make their livings now through paywalled articles. If the big guys can't protect from exploits, what about everyone else?

A bit of a tangent. Don't "respect" people dude, they will only let you down, the biggest thing to realize is that we are all mostly dumb. Respect people around you, as in treat them with respect. Don't idolize people.
This.

> If you install Windows, apparently Microsoft doesn't allow you to get updates (on W11) because of the Deck's lack of a "TPM".

False for almost a year, a fTPM was added in a system update in March 2022. It's even a note in Valve's Windows drivers page.

> Heck even an M2 MacBook + Windows VM would do.

I seriously doubt it, you have questionable GPU acceleration + 2 levels of binary translation + 3 GPU translation layers in the way. (I know VMware's DX virtualization is good but I have no experience with Parallel's) It's also at least 3x the price for meh gaming (on WOWARM64 on VM on DirectX on Parallels on Metal) performance.

> Valve is almost as infamous as Google for abandoning their hardware and projects.

Steam Link as an app is still fully supported and my Steam Link box not only works but gets updates, still.

> Some Deck-exclusive features and API so that it can be an independent platform in its own right, instead of just a mobile PC.

That's kind of the charm of it, though. It's meant to be a "play your existing games" type thing. Making more vendor-exclusive garbage won't drive adoption. The mouseaim-like trackpad, analogue triggers and haptics are useful exclusive features already, and they can be implemented by a user instead of relying on the dev.

> The Deck's screen is not OLED, which is pretty dumb up here in 2023, especially when they have a "nano-texture" option for glare reduction; why not also provide an OLED option??

I wish mine was OLED too but I was thankful it wasn't when I had to keep it on for hours to download games. I could look around for a screen-off tweak but I didn't have to worry about pixel burn-in.

Maybe someday a OLED screen mod will happen, the entire thing is super repairable and there's already hall effect joysticks available.
Working in the ML/data space and have been fortunate to have largely steered clear of this problem so far. My heuristic when evaluating potential jobs is only to consider positions where the output of statistical analysis and machine learning models has a clear and immediate impact within the organization, while avoiding adtech for ethical reasons and because of concerns toxic work could enable a toxic environment.

Jobs like this exist, though you may have to take a pay cut compared to the bullshit. My first job after finishing my PhD was as a staff scientist in an academic lab using ML engineering + data science to support scientific research. There seems to be a fair number of grant supported jobs like this and pay isn’t terrible. Just under or just at 6 figures. You can make more in industry, but scientific work feels very meaningful.

Now I’m working in credit risk modeling, something I never expected to be doing, but so far it’s been a good fit. The models are applied directly in decision making for the business, and there’s a real incentive to get everything right because mistakes could harm real people’s lives. The team I’m on is strong and ethically sound and I feel good about what I’m doing.

For anyone in the data space who’s despairing about the state of the industry, non-bullshit jobs do exist, you just have to look for them, and use your judgment when scoping out new roles.

Not OP but I guess they carry a portable monitor to use as a second screen for their work laptop. A usb-c powered 13inches portable monitor looks mostly like a tablet. It's very easy to bring with you.
For most of these I don't disagree, but I take issue with a few:

Windows is a distraction and lots of us have spent years decoupling PC gaming from Microsoft. That said I do think first-class Windows support would be a boon for the Deck. Not sure how decent the user experience is on Windows right now.

Exclusives are a foreign concept on PC. We do not need exclusives on Steam Deck, that is a console marketshare corralling strategy. PC has been getting ports of Sony titles lately. PC players win when there are _less_ exclusives, not more.

In my mind Steam already is an independent platform, so the Deck benefits from that by extension. Steam has an API called Steamworks. Again exclusivity is not needed here, you can add non-Steam games to the Steam client and still benefit from some of the platform's features w/o using the API.

As far as Valve abandoning products... they kinda do the opposite of that but I understand the sentiment. I never had a Steam Machine and doubt they're still in support, but Steam Link works great and the Steam Controller still gets firmware updates. Software, too - Source engine games see regular maintenance. Backwards compatibility is taken seriously, platform-wide.

Even the Steam Machine could easily be reformatted with whatever OS, and as soon as the Steam client is installed, it instantly becomes a first-class citizen again.

It's hard to truly abandon products that run atop an open platform.
The Build-Nothing Country
Small technical nitpick, Proton (Wine) is not an emulator.

I don't own a Deck but I've been gaming on Linux using Proton for quite a while now and I have yet to encounter an actual issue with WINEs platform implementation. So far, I'm very impressed with the stability and performance it provides.

Touché. Or a simple voice link.

Technically the only word it would have to transmit is “mayday”. Practically you’d need a voice link to make sure it was a real emergency.
And ironically some games work better on Proton, partly because Wine shipped fixes for them (like RollerCoaster Tycoon 2) or Valve fixing game bugs on the Proton side (Elden Ring shader compilation stutters come to mind).

It may be exacerbated lately because of the fact that we have so many fewer wars that involve sending off large swaths of the young male population to fight and die, so instead they're surviving long enough to complain about the situation.

Sure, we still have wars, but they're much more asymmetric, and often enough the technology in use results in fewer military fatalities, at least in the West.
I believe in it - not that population itself is a problem but that we have exceeded the carrying capacity of the planet
I felt disillusioned 4-5 months in my first job after college. I could see the project I was working would take a long time to create something of value (3-5 years) but we were always put under pressure to show some stupid demos to management every quarter.

So at the end we were just doing these demos and not working on actual things that we needed to do. The project was important, if implemented successfully it would cut jobs of ~60 people in the organization. So management kept on adding more people until they realized that there was no real progress and they dumped the project and we got reassigned.

I realized that 1 year of my work as well as ~15 other engineers just went to waste.

You improve your relationship skills by being in a relationship, making 10,000 mistakes, and learning from each mistake. It's no different than learning how to write Python code or doing anything else for that matter.

A therapist can advise you on behavior that:

1. you observe and tell the therapist about, or

2. he notices during the session.

I've been happily married for +20 years. I went to therapy a couple of times: wasn't worth the time and energy. The best tool I found for debugging my life is a plain 3x5 pocket notebook. Every evening I take 30 minutes to summarize the events of the day and how I reacted to them. Then every few weeks I review the journal and it’s surprising how often I see patterns in my thoughts and actions and say “Oh I need to fix that.” Or “I handled that pretty well.”

Basically I treat my journal like a server log for my brain: every event and its response are written to the log, then reviewed from time to time for patterns and anomalies. My journal is the same.
I have a similar story to this: Learnt Delphi (Lazarus) in school, got put on a Delphi project on my first job because I was the only one to "know" the language. The application only had maybe 100k lines of code, but had been started around 1984 (in Pascal, I imagine) and had expanded ever since. I only took over because the previous (only) developer had just retired.

I got hired for my second job, because of my previous experience with Delphi. It was a cool job with amazing colleagues, but I have opted to go for a degree in Computer science and I am not going back to Delphi.

There were many small frustrations with the language.
I have recently worked a lot with GoLang and Python and have come to appreciate the extensive (standard)libraries these language provide. I know how to manage memory or reverse/traverse some iterable by hand - but do I have to? I feel like my time is spent much better by thinking about architecture, maintainability, testing, actually solving problems than wrestling with tasks, that computers can do much better by now.

Has anyone used their Steam Deck with a projector and/or as home media machine (HTPC)? We bought a Chromecast while traveling abroad and took hours to setup Wi-Fi, login with various streaming accounts with arrow keys, then finally hit with regional lockouts (HBO not being available and Netflix having different catalogue). In the end, we just gave up and went to the movie theaters. It’d be great if we had a portable content streaming device that’s a proper computer and where we can have a VPN setup, possibly even with a offline catalogue while we’re on a plane.
