Yeah, Linus didn’t actually bother clicking the links.

Ya know, somehow I'm not surprised to hear LTT didn't do their research

~~Note that the SteamOS download on that page is NOT the current version of SteamOS used on the Steam Deck, it's the 2-3 year old version that Valve released a while back and doesn't have most any of the actual improvements to SteamOS that make it worthwhile. The only way to get the current SteamOS is to download the recovery image for the Steam Deck at https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3 and install from there.~~

Linus from LTT did a video about getting it up and running here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdR-bxvQKN8

EDIT: As per usual, Linus didn't do good research and was incorrect about the SteamOS version available at that link, updated to strike the incorrect info.

I want it treated like every other murder in New York. I want the police to spend 5 minutes pretending to look for the perpetrator, shrug their shoulders, say "nothing could be done, thoughts and prayers", then throw this into the perpetually growing pile of unsolved murders and move on with their day.

That's what they do when anyone else in the city or state is murdered, this guy doesn't deserve special attention. If they want to solve murders they should solve every murder, not just the billionaire's murder.

Sure, but it had an offline mode and had a base level globe that was downloaded when the game was installed that you could use immediately and didn't require live cloud connectivity in order for basic functionality to work. Additionally, it allowed you to pre-download large chunks of high detailed land for offline use as well.

Precisely this -- I don't remember anyone complaining that the FS2020 install size was too large, even if its install size was the butt of a few good-natured jokes. They've solved a problem that didn't exist and in doing so have turned FS into an always online internet-connected live service instead of a game. I'm not touching this game with a 40 foot aileron until an offline mode of some quality exists.

You think vd dunce is going to be any better for the USA than discount orange hitler?

No but realistically, it would be logistically impossible to round up eleven million people.

It wouldn't be much, but I still hope Harris wins the popular vote -- even though I think she was a fucking garbage candidate. At least then I can go back to shouting from the highest tower that we should abolish the electoral college -- but living in a world where Trump won the popular vote tells me America as a whole isn't better than this, this is exactly who the majority of Americans are -- hateful, scared and short sighted. I was lied to by my parents for my entire life -- they told me there were more good people than bad people, but then they got old and they started voting for the very same bad people they taught me how to recognize. What the everloving fuck happened

Fuck off Biden, now's the time to use that presidential immunity you just got to attack enemies of the state before your term ends. It's legal!

They played this exact same game in 2016 and lost and yet they learned nothing. What makes anyone think they're going to learn something this time? The DNC needs to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up to be a proper left party instead of this bullshit center-right garbage that they pretend is progressive or left.

EDIT: And I still held my nose and voted, because I will in fact take anything over fascism.

The result of 40+ years of republicans destroying the education system, who'd ever have guessed

 

GPD has released a software only version of the fix for the screen stuttering issue in the GPD Win 4. The .EXE file IC/EC flash can be found here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pZWIv_5u0Ga-KIh7yUvYeiEaQXnjcwg9/view

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED IN THE FILE -- both readme.txt and readme_EC.txt -- (or follow se1000's new guide here) -- you MUST do both the EC flash (WIN4-V08.00.zip) and IC flash (Win4_LCD_Update.exe) to fix the stuttering. The IC flash will not work until you have done the EC flash.

  • Extract WIN4-V08.00.zip to the root of a USB stick
  • Boot from that USB stick (press F7 while booting to bring up the boot menu)
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to update the EC to V08.00
  • Unplug the USB stick and reboot Windows
  • Fully close MotionAssistant -- if it is running, it will stop the flash from succeeding.
  • Run the Win4_LCD_Update.exe as Administrator (REQUIRED -- right click, run as Admin) to update the Display IC

If you have any issues, join the Discord and ask in the GPD Win 4 channel, someone will be happy to assist.
