If you just plug regular AR glasses like xreal glasses into your steamdeck then the display is static and moves with your head. The Decky plug-in makes the screen “Hover” in front of you so you can move your head around and the screen stays in place. Previously, it only worked with vulkan games but now everything including the decks interface will “hover” in front you you.

I wish encased chains were more of a thing outside of the netherlands. I would take an encased chain over a belt drive.

I think the “Showcasing Framework Laptops” is what rubs me the wrong way. I like the idea of trying to get feedback and learn the need of real linux users but anything that qualifies as marketing should be paid.

Yeah, I really like them. I bike with slow traffic around town a lot and it’s nice to have the more upright relaxed position.

I need to get some gravel bike tires. 25c where a bit sketchy.

Man that eee pc, disks, and ipod are an instant nostalgia trigger for me. I miss my net books. Not enough to go buy one though.

I feel like linux users benefit the most from arm since we can build our software natively for arm with access to the source code.

There shtick is privacy. They are selling privacy oriented machines which is a value add for people who need device privacy but don’t have the bandwidth to to setup and audit everything themselves. The service they are selling is more privacy then value budget hardware.

I haven’t looked at there stuff in while. They have really compelling devices. There a bit too pricey for me at the moment.

I’m very interested in these.

That’s only for minorities and poor people.

I’m in Southern Arizona and I see tons of people wearing them. They’re super popular here. I don’t have one but I really want one.

My understanding is that they are making new version based on opengamepadUI. I made a video playing around with it on a steamdeck running EndeavorOS with opengamepadUI installed as a DE. It’s very alpha so IDK how it’s going to work for them. https://makertube.net/w/1JtXgbupmgcjJbRD4o7Wpa

It’s $500 for a 7840u. It’s not bad IMO. https://neo.manjaro.org/#specs

I’m excited for this handheld. I’m planning on picking one up just to support more foss based hardware.

If anyone is interested in a similar project check out open-game-pad-ui. It features a plug system for stores. Right now there is only steam and flatpak but eventually there could be other stores. It’s really not ready to be daily drive but it is functional.

So there revenue model is to sell the os to OEM and offer support? Good luck with that.

For me, I only keep digital music and in flac form if I can get it in high quality. I personally don’t have any nostalgia for physical stuff.

Oh, damn I have one of these in one of my systems. I’m going to have to find it now and replace it. :(
