It’s a lesson many of us learn the hard way.

Sounds like a chart could have been created.

Yeah, they totally assign duties arbitrarily like that.

I guess I wasn’t clear. The average Windows user isn’t aware of PowerShell and would hardly be able to use reg itself. I agree that it is a great tool for managing registry in an environment, but I have seen professional technicians darn near cry over using cd to traverse directories.

Honestly, Windows MMC tools are one of the oldest and most dependable ways to:

Manage printers

View logs

Manage devices and drivers

Manage group policy

Manage MDT

The interface is almost 30 years old and it is prone to crash. Microsoft cannot seem to rewrite tools that replace the snap-ins.

There are some alternatives, such as diskpart to replace diskmanagement, but nobody is talking about replacing devmgmt with PowerShell or regedit with PowerShell for reg commands for the one off or the lay user.

Also, attempting to duplicate printmanagement with devices and printers has resulted in a loss of functionality for managing printer ports and drivers. Attempting to manage printers through just PowerShell is pure madness as you can’t properly parse the vendor options.

If you have made it this far, thank you for hearing me out. I’m not sure I actually made a point, but I do feel better.

Just read through article and it directly addresses this.

The reason the criteria are relaxed is because of higher hardware specs for the Machine and the fact that the Deck has a small screen. Basically, the Deck has more physical constraints. As the Deck ages, less games will remain compatible.

Just tether them all together. Make a midair mesh.

Clair Obscura still looks like ass on a steam deck? There was a patch that came through several months ago that increased playability. I was playing with a 10yo video card and originally had abysmal graphics. I didn’t push settings, but I was able to get to the point where terrain and people made sense.

My wife and I often tell each other that we wish we were stupid and happy.

I got a cheap 862D combo soldering iron from Amazon for $50 about 5 years ago. It goes down to 200°C.

Just remember to put it on a separate power strip and turn off the strip when you are done. These are super cheap, and I wouldn’t recommend leaving them plugged in unattended.

Staring in most animals is aggression.

It’s it physical damage maybe?

Not in full, but there is a bit of sending the kids to check if we have this or that.

They won’t let me do it for for free. They think I’m doing bad things if I don’t charge for it.

Thanks for the list!

Yes. I left not because I lost my benefit, but because it increased overall by 50%. That brought it to $400+ monthly. My company’s insurance was comparable, and I think it comes out pre-tax.

Looks amazing!

Wow, they go VERY far in S3. I was expecting one more season after Eris.

I was doing okay with 4-5 tabs on a core 2. Used Facebook as a test.

I can’t say how your firmware will recognize a PCI-e to NVME, but as long as your aren’t chasing boot time records a SATA SSD should be more than sufficient for boot. You could just use the NVME for speed.

Another option would be to set up 6 SATA SSD drives in there with ZFS2. The striping and read-write speeds should significantly fill the SATA buffer of 6gbps. Due to the striping, you might actually avoid filing the read buffer and be about to sustain a longer high write speed.

The drive farm is also super viable. I have a 6-port board and a SAS card installed giving me 10 or 14 ports, I can’t recall. I have a similar strategy as I described, but I’m only using it for a NAS. I looked into getting a 12-port board, but used it was still $350. It makes more sense for me to buy another SAS card instead.
