Nobody sane would move their optimized mining operation constantly across various AirBnBs. It is hard to setup, very noisy, generates a ton of heat which, without proper cooling, does not make any money.
Reading the threads seems like I am the only one welcoming this change. The amount of scammers taking advantage of the way usernames worked before was getting out of hand. Especially since when you could paid to have a custom number. Lot of people could not differentiate between RandomJoe#4587 and RandomJoe#4597.
- You don't have to rebuy games for a premium if you already used steam before
- Synced saves with your PC if the game supports it
- Great performance for a handheld with a solid battery
- Great variety of inputs, and almost everything can be customizable (if you don't fancy the official button layouts there is a community coming up with custom ones)
- You can turn it into a regular computer if needed
- It is big enough to hold for my hands. With Switch or iPad my hands hurt after a while, not with steam deck.
- Repair-ability it is actually easy to fix
- You can download emulators for switch, gameboy and all the other older consoles
- I enjoy some games more on the deck then on the desktop
I love mine and I consider it to be the best purchase I made this year. By far.
Agree. I have so many problems with my Mac Mini it is by far the worst device I ever owned.
- It randomly disconnects bluetooth for 30-40s. Especially annoying during calls. When your headset & keyboard stop working and you don't have a way of make anyone know.
- The processor goes full throttle out of blue. Makes my fan go 100% for good 5-10 minutes.
- From time to time it refuses to wake up my monitor and I need to force shut down it.
It used to be like that. I was playing with the idea a couple years ago as well. But looking at the social climate in the states, I'll rather keep my low paying job (in comparison to the FAANG) and enjoy the general safety.
When I was working at Kiwi.com as a senior product designer one of the guys on the development team did something very similar.
We were testing a new push notification refactoring and managed to send a push notification "Test test" to our whole Android user base (couple of hundred thousands of users). Interestingly enough, it was a great reactivation campaign. We bumped bookings by a noticeable margin, and since we redesigned our "rate us" flow couple of weeks before, we had a huge influx of 5* ratings as well.
