  • I’ve got a USB-c dock and it handled Ethernet and power for my 2 totally fine

    Are you still using it in handheld mode? It’s not really docked when you hold it in your hand. I tried to connect three completely different docks to two different monitors, all worked fine with Switch 1 and my PC, none worked with Switch 2.

    and I think it reported the keyboard although I didn’t test it.

    There recently was a story that USB mice would work just like joycon in mouse mode. They don’t. Games have to explicitly support them, just like before.










  • Wow. What happened to the love for the constitution?

    AFAIK the constitution doesn’t apply here. I can’t remember who or even when it was but there was a musician or actor who once said in a TV interview that they consumed pot in the past and then were turned back to where they came. See also https://www.usentrywaiverlaw.ca/marijuana-tourism.php

    Basically: The US has been hostile not only to migrants but mere tourists since quite some time (at the very least since 9/11), even under Democratic administration. On entry, don’t admit to anything and wipe your phone (restore a cloud backup after successful entry). Or even better, don’t go to that shithole country that treats people who fund the tourism industry like criminals. If they don’t treat you like they want your tourist money, they shouldn’t get that money in the first place.





  • it makes sense, now, why Valve would choose KDE for the Steam Deck (which has a touchscreen).

    I like my Steam Deck but I must be honest here: Desktop Mode, which is Plasma 5 and not the latest 6.x release, is trash on that touch screen. It just a shrunken regular desktop. You can use some environment variables to affect a few QtQuick applications but the results are mixed. There are KDE applications what are designed for mobile but don’t even consider the possibility of anything but portrait screen orientation. SteamOS doesn’t ship with a proper Maliit keyboard, it’s just Steam’s built-in one which never pops up automatically outside of Steam and Steam games.

    Plasma 5 on that tiny screen isn’t enjoyable at all. It kinda, sorta works but I’m happy the touch pads exist.
