You probably have debug logging enabled somewhere.

Back up a bit because you’re conflating a number of things, so let me try to break it down:

1. If you’re using Hyprland, you’re losing all the power management features of the more fully featured DE’s like Gnome or KDE. This isn’t a flaw, it’s just an acceptance of the trade-off.
2. Unless you’ve directly intervened, the power profiles are set to whatever your distro installs and sets from the initial install. Which leads to…
3. There are different defaults for powered vs battery by default. If you’re on a laptop and you don’t have the DE helpers, you’re on your own.
4. The hardware power management built in to your laptop may be playing a role here, so check your BIOS
5. Check dmesg to see what live changes your hardware controllers might be making
6. Check the Framework forums for keywords related to “Hyprland” to see if somebody has easy scripts for you to help. Otherwise, just switch to a DE that manages power the way you’d expect.

Your power restrictions are preventing the higher power settings.

If you’re using Gnome or KDE, you can use the applets to just turn it up a notch and get more brightness.

You’re not wrong on your initial points at all, and I said as much above, so we’re in agreement.

You seem to be thinking Valve is shutting down Deck as a product, and I never said that at all. They just have more important irons in the fire. There is also an obvious benefit in them pivoting Deck 2 to an ARM SoC in the next version, and they’ve literally said as much. AMD already quietly announced their ARM-based SoC (sort of by accident), so it’s not weird at all for a company like Valve to: 1) Focus on the pivot they are currently making and 2) Focus on the development of Deck 2.

On your other point: nobody, including Valve said they were discontinuing anything. People are freaking out because they’re out of stock. So what? They have bigger fish to fry. If they do another production run, they may do it after launch of the new hardware just to see where things lie, but who knows.

If you’re familiar with Valve’s history in hardware, you know they don’t officially discontinue anything, they just stop selling it in between hardware revision releases. There is absolutely nothing weird happening here that is inconsistent with their history of this.

My personal bet is they are guessing that Frame will be in direct competition with Deck, and they want people to buy that instead. Running out of stock of one during a product push for the other just seems like they care less about producing a dated product, but have the option to make another production run if they see things going that way.

We also don’t even have the insights into how well Deck is selling at this point. Maybe it just doesn’t make fiscal sense to make another production run right now. Who knows 🤷

If you’re familiar with the logistics of the components industry, you might understand.

You’re completely glossing over the connection between these things. New hardware line coming out this month-ish(?). They also want it to be successful. The product overlap is with the Frame, Switch 2, Arm devices at large, and the myriad other handhelds trying to copy the success of Deck.

Now, if you’re Valve, your bread and butter isn’t the devices, it’s platform lock-in. More devices running Steam means more money, regardless of the device itself. This is why they’ve taken the time to make sure SteamOS was portable enough to run on a bunch of other devices, which is the big note here.

They’re thinking platform, you’re only concerned with a single piece of hardware that had a miniscule impact on their bottom line. They make BILLIONS in pure profit every year ust from platform engagement. Deck made them millions over four years. That’s the difference.

So what makes more sense? More Deck models, or more devices spreading into a larger ecosystem to gain further footholds into platform engagement?

Deck honestly doesn’t factor much into that. Frame and FEX however is going to be monumental shift into a massive expansion of Steam on ARM, and will probably ultimately mean if there is another Deck, it’s also going to be ARM. It’s a much bigger picture than all the comments in here are putting together.

PXE is unnecessary unless you’re going to be creating a reusable boot image. Just faster to use LiveUSB.

What did you getaid off, and what are you trying to apply to? Maybe help to understand on what you’re trying to learn.

Just for your own sanity, just install Talos on the 3 machines, understand how to join them to a cluster, then deploy some stuff around the cluster. Get a feel for the basics before you get into the mess of trying to do it all in VMs.

I’d also check some comparisons on the various flavors of different lube stacks: k3s, microk8s, kubedge…etc. Theres so many now it’s hard to track.

Because you’re being rate limited. Don’t let these tools constantly hammer Github’s API in mass fits and starts or you may get a back off from GH.

Deck is 4 years old at this point. They shouldn’t honestly be making anymore, and I don’t think AMD would even be doing production runs of that SoC a ymore anyway. These devices aren’t meant to be produced into perpetuity, and especially not when the same company paying to produce them has THREE new hardware devices coming out any day. It’s the last thing they’d care about.

So if course they’re going out of stock. The Deck was never meant to be a generational console like a Switch. It’s simple PC hardware meant to span the 3-5 year gap, same as a laptop. Again, this is year 4, and they have OTHER new hardware coming out.

This tells you a few things:

1. They don’t want Deck in stock for price comparison to new hardware if it’s going to be more expensive
2. They really want to motivate sales of Frame as a Deck alternative
3. They want another product pivot to follow up later, which will probably be Deck 2 or whatever

Author of this article is just in the wrong neighborhood.

Neh

New hardware is coming out soon. This is not unusual before a big product launch.

And I got downvoted into oblivion for bringing it up 🤣

Jesus, WOW

Then why if you aren’t familiar would you make a comment you didn’t see anything?

Do you randomly walk into other people’s jobs with zero proficiency and speak to how they’re doing at it?

Here’s a very simple list of issues that any Node dev would immediately say is generated and has not been cleaned up:

• package.json
• knip (check that tab usage)
• WILDLY fucking stupid Dockerfile
• What directory am I in here??? Note the dupe code because whatever shit tool lost track
• What in the absolute fuck?

I mean I can keep going, but if you even glanced at this and didn’t IMMEDIATELY get it, you are bad at your job.

Edit: This one is fucking hilarous

He was too good for the world we are currently living in, and he only died a few years back.

First off, no.

Second, GFY: https://www.newsweek.com/john-kasich-pizza-knife-fork-donald-trump-bill-de-blasio-448338

Search for Trump like you would in the Epstein docs. You’re clearly shilling here.

Lolwut??? Did you check the GitHub at all?

Check the code

This is so vibecoded 🤣 Nawthx

This…is not true. Many women approach men. Not all, but many. Just depends on the personality.

The reason it’s tough being a young man out there right now is because you have all these dipshit right-wing machismo assholes trying to indoctrinate young men into being complete and total pricks, as if women aren’t keeping tabs.

Unless you are waving a white flag and doing your best to demonstrate you DO NOT subscribe to that bullshit, they want nothing to do with you.
