There is no definitive roadmap.

youtube.com/tv is/was the YouTube website optimized for big screens. It’s basically just a different layout for regular YouTube.

OP is talking about YouTube and I can watch 8KUHD just fine on Linux.

How do you not do that? It’s all in your local network, how would it not work offline…?

Will reflash my Deck once this hits stable as it’s acting up in various different ways.

The difference between H.265 and AV1 at the same bitrate (assuming both files were encoded with a good encoder) usually isn’t huge.

AV1 is great, but the “hype” surrounding it is mostly comparing it to lowish-bitrate H.264 (live) streams.

And what would that help with?

I’m waiting to see how DeepComputing’s RISC-V mainboard for the Framework turns out. I’m aware that this is very much a development platform and far from an actual end-user product, but if the price is right, I might jump in to experiment.

What I mean by that is that they will take a huge disservice to their customers over a slight financial inconvenience (packaging and validating an existing fix for different CPU series with the same architecture).

I don’t classify fixing critical vulnerabilities from products as recent as the last decade as “goodwill”, that’s just what I’d expect to receive as a customer: a working product with no known vulnerabilities left open. I could’ve bought a Ryzen 3000 CPU (maybe as part of cheap office PCs or whatever) a few days ago, only to now know they have this severe vulnerability with the label WONTFIX on it. And even if I bought it 5 years ago: a fix exists, port it over!

I know some people say it’s not that critical of a bug because an attacker needs kernel access, but it’s a convenient part of a vulnerability chain for an attacker that once exploited is almost impossible to detect and remove.

That’s so stupid, also because they have fixes for Zen and Zen 2 based Epyc CPUs available.

Intel vs. AMD isn’t “bad guys” vs. “good guys”. Either company will take every opportunity to screw their customers over. Sure, “don’t buy Intel” holds true for 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs specifically, but other than that it’s more of a pick your poison.

Massgrave works with 8/8.1 just fine, just not with the HWID method afaik.

Would be interesting to know what actually happens.

BorgBase allows for append-only backups.

Is your typical noise floor even under 20 dB? HDDs are also a lot louder than 5-10 dB, and manufacturers usually list dBA in their spec sheets, not dB.

No honor among thieves. Remember that.

These are some low bitrate movies. Mine is probably at least 10x that size but nowhere close 10x the content.

I don’t think the Deck HD is ideal as UI scaling is also off with the Deck’s UI (unless Valve also supports 150% fractional scaling with their update), but battery life would only be affected in a meaningful way when the game is actually rendered in a higher resolution.

Having a higher resolution target for upscaling with FSR(2) can lead to (slightly) improved image quality even with the same internal resolution and obviously sharper UI. 2D games should look great with the higher pixel density (though at the cost of battery life in this case).

From their own FAQ:

We ran both SD’s on GTA V single player mode with a FPS cap at 30 starting from 100% charge. Both SD’s had the same brightness level and resolution (800p). The testing duration lasted just under 3 hours when DeckHD’s SD turned off when the original SD had 3% battery left.

So just having more pixels to render the UI with or whatever doesn’t really change much. 3% is within margin of error.

I doubt it’s possible to fit a smaller-bezel screen in the LCD’s case.

The touch screen is supposedly a lot better and the color reproduction obviously is as well.

If you need a replacement anyway, I don’t see why you shouldn’t get a better replacement for a similar price to the original anti-glare screen, especially now that Valve starts “officially” supporting it. If you’re looking for a bigger upgrade instead of a replacement because you need a repair, selling your working LCD Deck and upgrading to the OLED model is probably the better option.

I meant more as a replacement option if your original screen is already broken.

While replacing the display is quite complex in comparison to other repairs on the Deck, you may as well get this display should yours break for some reason.

I was gonna suggest the same.
