A firefox extension called Chameleon can spoof things like user agent, screen size and resolution, time zone, audio and media devices, and keyboard fingerprint, among others. It can also prevent etag tracking.

I get it.

I can’t use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.

I am guessing you don’t want an old Steam Controller? You might want the new one Valve is making, but unfortunately I don’t think details or a release date have been announced yet.

STOP USING DISCORD

I really wanted to play this before I knew it was predatory and manipulative gotcha garbage.

If you live in the US, your state may have an “implied warranty” law that extends the warranty of the device you bought. I think for most states that have such laws, the warranty period is 4 years. Many states have such laws but I can’t find a list online. If you have an implied warranty and valve doesn’t honor it, you can get the state involved.

Sorry your Steam deck broke. Devices like this should last many years, especially when the only moving parts are the buttons and the fan.

I love backside buttons for you all who use them, but I don’t ever want them to be anything more than non-essential programmable buttons. I personally can’t stand them, but as long as they are optional for gaming, I don’t mind that they are there.

I didn’t know that, thank you for mentioning it. That’s perfect.

Thanks! I will try disabling Decky plugins if I still have the issue.

Does this update fix the ‘no sound through HDMI when docking’ issue that plagues both my official and third-party docks? These ports and plugs weren’t designed to handle my frustrated, high-rate plugging and unplugging, and I am so very tired.

Thank you for sharing!

Sounds interesting, thank you!

Why did you stay with it over Joplin? As a Joplin user, I am curious.

I second Joplin. I use it on Android and sync it locally (and only locally) with my Mac. It uses Markdown.

Has anyone used one of these gaming pillows? Is it worth it? I’m considering getting one.

I use this dock by Skull & Co. because I needed a second dock. It’s half the price of the official Steam Deck dock and it has nearly all the same ports. It’s always functioned flawlessly.

I have purchased docks, cases, and thumb grips from them and they’ve all been great.
