The all new steve deck, starting at just $999 (64MB)

[–] HouseWolf@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago

Nah they only sell monitor stands that "cheap".

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago

And 4GB ram.

[–] Junkernaught@lemmy.dbzer0.com 69 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You were so preoccupied with whether you could, that you didn't stop to think whether you should.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

And, that is a good thing 😂

[–] Pantsofmagic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It's got 2-4x as much RAM as the average apple device so maybe that makes at a Newton pro max ultra

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Finally a Mac that's good for gaming

"Wake up babe, proton support for MacOS just dropped!"

As a person who used to do Hackintoshes I am impressed people got it to boot on a Steam Deck

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did one once. Managed to somehow install Catalina on a Lattepanda sbc. I would've never expected it to work, so I was positively elated.

The thing then promptly shorted, let out the magic smoke, and I haven't tried anything similar since. Took it as a sign from the universe that if I were meant to be good at it, i wouldn't have managed to fry aforementioned sbc, and several other ones (2 Jetson nano's as well).

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

I got catalina and mojave to work. Was nice while they still worked.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

[–] ConsistentAlgae@reddthat.com 20 points 2 months ago

Why, God, why?

[–] Piwix@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago

Apple iCantusemydeck

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 16 points 2 months ago

Ah, I see apple has came out with a brand new device form factor never seen before. It must be the iDeck

"Out of the box, the Steam Deck’s screen will default to portrait."

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So does the legion go. I don't understand why there isn't something built in to fedora to prevent this but I've never been able to find a setting for it.

[–] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You probably won’t it’s just because the resolution is 720x1280 instead of the normal 1280x720 so it just assumes that is the correct orientation for the screen but it’s because screen manufacturers don’t make screens landscape this size due to the market being small as they are normally used for tablets

Edit: fun fact the vita and switch are also both like this not sure about the Wii u

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you for the explanation. It switches sometimes by accident and I didn't know that.

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Try wdisplay (on wayland), or xrandr (on xorg)

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll check it out.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

The steam deck has a microphone.. You invented the most cumbersome iPhone

[–] unrushed233@lemmings.world 14 points 2 months ago

Is that an actual Hackintosh (running on bare metal) or just a virtual machine?

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Thanks. I need eye bleach now.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

iPhone 1 from the 1950s

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

A smaller, cheaper alternative to the high end models.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Did they ever fix the orientation?
