If you’re just wanting the functionality of a Steamdeck on some other device, there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. If the other device is an Android, you can just install the Steam Link app and you’re off to the races. If it’s something else, depending on the device you can probably get Moonlight running on it, which will accomplish the same thing but will actually have more versatility than you’d get with a Steamdeck anyway.

EmptyRadar@kbin.socialto Android@lemmy.world•Transfer files from phone with broken screen possible?41·1 year agoBest thing to do is use an external monitor. You can connect the phone via whatever USB interface it has - there are cheap USB to HDMI adapters on Amazon which should do the trick.
EmptyRadar@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Can registrations on kbin.social be disabled to stop spammers2·1 year agoI agree that this may be the only real solution for the time being. I have personally been trying to submit good content to my favorite magazines to combat some of the spam, but there is a real influx of it and it’s making it difficult to use the site.
EmptyRadar@kbin.socialto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Netflix: Piracy is Difficult to Compete Against and Growing Rapidly14·1 year agoYep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

Why/Whynot?2·1 year agoFeeling morally responsible for the actions of an entire nation sounds like a great way to give yourself ulcers.
But seriously, even in a “democracy”, there is too much shady shit going on behind the curtain to really hold the general public accountable for all of it.
EmptyRadar@kbin.socialto Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•How addicted are you to your phone?2·2 years agoI think “integrated” is a better term for my usage than “addicted”. My phone is an extension of my digital presence, and although I work from a desktop computer day-to-day, my phone is an integral part of my ability to automate and operate my tools, hardware and software. Besides work stuff, it’s also fully integrated into my home life since it’s my interface for my home automation as well as my primary means of staying up to date with news and info I need.
But I don’t really play phone games, and I don’t do social media (other than KBin at the moment, anyway), so I don’t find myself using it in an addictive way too often.
EmptyRadar@kbin.socialto Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•What are your thoughts on Kbin now that it's 2024?6·2 years agoIt scratches my scrolling itch. I haven’t really been back to Reddit other than when Google lists Reddit as the best choice for some info I need. But I’ve really enjoyed KBin and the communities that are popping up here. I hope it continues to grow.
EmptyRadar@kbin.socialto Android@lemmy.world•Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence41·2 years agoHonest question: why?
Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.
Transparency: I’m someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol

Yes, I’m just offering an option to replicate that streaming functionality here. As to versatility, that depends entirely on what you’re doing. There are situations in which the Steamdeck would actually be the far more limited platform compared to what I described.
