If you're just wanting the functionality of a Steamdeck on some other device, there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. If the other device is an Android, you can just install the Steam Link app and you're off to the races. If it's something else, depending on the device you can probably get Moonlight running on it, which will accomplish the same thing but will actually have more versatility than you'd get with a Steamdeck anyway.

Yes, I'm just offering an option to replicate that streaming functionality here. As to versatility, that depends entirely on what you're doing. There are situations in which the Steamdeck would actually be the far more limited platform compared to what I described.

Transfer files from phone with broken screen possible?

Hi there, I’ve had a broken phone lying around for ages, only kept it as I know there are some pictures and files I wish I could gain access to again. I’ve tried a variety of methods gaining access to the files, but it doesn’t seem possible as I cannot actually use the screen to “allow usb transfer” etc… Is there any...

EmptyRadar ,

Best thing to do is use an external monitor. You can connect the phone via whatever USB interface it has - there are cheap USB to HDMI adapters on Amazon which should do the trick.

EmptyRadar ,

Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

Honest question: why?

Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.

Transparency: I'm someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol

EmptyRadar ,

This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too...what a waste of time

EmptyRadar ,

I don't believe that stat, based on my own personal experience. I've been a VR user for close to 10 years now and I've introduced many, many people to it. I've only had one person feel sick in any way in that entire time.

EmptyRadar ,

But...why? It's so much simpler and often better to just emulate the original software and hardware than to port entire games.

He's not preserving them - that's done by simply archiving the file. He's making them playable on modern software. That's something different entirely, still very cool though.

EmptyRadar ,

I guess that depends who you ask. I emulate games all the time. Just takes a little bit of willingness to learn something new.

EmptyRadar ,

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Personally I find the process to be much simpler than what you described, but I guess it comes down to knowledge and experience in that area. Happy learning and good luck with all that!

EmptyRadar , (edited )

Nope, I have been a PC gamer for about 30 years and I love emulating classics from the past. It's not as challenging as folks around here seem to think. I guess sometimes people just have a hard time accepting that there can be multiple ways of doing a thing, even if they are unaware of some of those ways. Emulating XP might seem like a big deal for someone who is new to the idea, but personally I have been emulating XP for decades, even when it was the modern OS, along with many other types of OS, so it's a matter of rote for me at this point. I wouldn't even consider XP to be old enough to be a challenge - try emulating some of the original Linux distros, or an OS you've never heard of for that matter. That's where the challenge can come in.

I love that so many people have an opinion on this subject though. It just affirms that new ideas are out there for those who want them. Happy learning!

Why not just sell the game? Secure the bag and the peace of mind at the same time

Although, ironically, generated garbage is virtually worthless for SEO.

Google just made it a lot easier for people to begin automating their smart home (www.engadget.com)

Google has really tried to go all in on automation since the rollout of its redesigned Home app in May. There’s been the introduction of a new script editor, Nest Cam Indoor integration and, now, a whole slew of new routines to use. The company has announced 18 new routines — half starters and half actions — immediately...

EmptyRadar ,

It helps to separate the technology from the companies. We don't need Google, Amazon, or any other company to make use of network connected technology. It doesn't have to be internet-connected, either. You can have a completely automated home with no more risk of intrusion than a standard locked door already has from a well-placed boot.

Damn they won't make me magnetic? That would be useful, I could avoid dropping screws and bits every time I do a project.

Hey, just a heads up - you can easily install a profanity filter extension on just about any browser, mobile or otherwise. Here's an example for Chrome:

That way you don't have to see stuff you don't want to, but also don't have to attempt to modify the way other people speak to suit your desires.

One other solution to throw into the ring - delete the contact and re-enter it as a "phone only" contact. That way it's not connected to her Google services whatsoever.

He's one of maybe 3 YouTubers whose videos I will immediately click on when I see a new one. Gonna miss his content, it's always genuinely interesting.
