I just got my steam deck RMAed after 1.5 years. Guess what was the first thing I did when It turned on. (self.steamdeck)

I had some performance problems. Suddenly, steam deck lost about 60% of its performance in games. My troubleshooting didn't help. After that, I contacted steam support. We were talking for about a week, but nothing helped, so they agreed to send me a replacement.

I have to say… The fresh vent smells even better than I remember.

Apple will sell you a laptop with dead pixels on the screen and refuse to replace it unless a certain minimum number are dead. I was furious.

I used to work for a company that made an ultra low budget android tablet. We had dead pixels on like 10% of them. Our LCD provider would tell us the same thing. Unless there are at least 3 dead pixels, they aren't taking them back. We changed our LCD provider ASAP, but we sold probably 1-2K of those POSes. That's probably 100-200 $50 tablets with dead pixels.

But at least our tablets were $50 pieces of trash, not $2000+ MacBooks.

Wow, I'd expect that from a knock-off monitor company, but Apple? That's crazy.

[–] LUHG_HANI 5 points 1 year ago

They mostly do that these days. Not many monitors have dead pixel policies.

I had a 3 day old Macbook Pro have the screen shatter when opening it. The store said it would be covered then the repair center said it would be $2000 which was only $600 less than the entire laptop. Took like 3 hours on the phone and finally the freaking store paid out the repair center. Thinkpads from now on lol
