Thank you for reading.

I just received my Steam Deck OLED 1Tb; the screen is amazing in relation to the LCD version, however I had a problem with the D-PAD not working at all.

I did some testing, and the D-PAD was unresponsive in Gaming Mode, Desktop, and in the BIOS as well, so I figured something wrong with my hardware.

I removed the back panel, and I saw almost instantly that the cable labeled as "DPAD" was disconnected(Right side, just beside the left trigger). Reconnected and now everything is working as intended.

So for short, if something doesn't work hardware wise, contact support, but it may be worth having a look inside and see if anything is disconnected.

Happy Gaming 🎮

As the title says, the latest version of Facebook doesn't allow you to open links in your default browser of choice.

I am pretty sure a couple of weeks ago I was able to do that, but in the last couple of days it started opening all links in the in app browser.

If you go "Setting & Privacy > Media > Open Links in an external browser" and enable it, Facebook will still use the in app browser for opening links.

Anyway to get around this?

Hello, how are you guys?

As the title says, what search Ingine are you currently using? I used DuckDuckGo for years, and just recently switched to Brave.

Also, what do you think about the Brave Browser? I have been using FireFox since forever.

Thank you for reading.

I am rocking an Xiaomi Gaming Laptop (i7 9th, GeForce 2060, 32Gb Ram) with PopOS installed since day one. It is working fine (a bit annoyed because there is no way of finding a new battery for replacement), but I was thinking of switching to something more open source and with Linux officially supported.

Anyone here with an Adder WS (or any other System76 laptop)? How do you find yourself with it? Mainly curious about the battery life.

Thank you for reading.
