I heavily agree on this for most people. Sadly books, actual lectures and classes and online tutorials haven’t been working for me before.

It must really fucking suck being a teacher in programming and having invested time into a book or online tutorial/study thing today. I hope EU will legislate AI training.

This was my usecase when learning JS. I’ve always had a very very difficult time with programming and wrapping my head around those types of patterns. But with the help of AI I was able to get a quicker understanding and being able to ask followup questions, explain what different symbols do, nowadays I use it as a basic reference to get a starting point to some solutions while just being well versed enough to approach a lot of things on my own.

I often try to switch around and experiment with different similar and potentially better approaches unless it’s giving me one of those responses that have been the most bogstandard straightforward way of doing it… because of a stackoverflow answer from 12 years ago. But those are often the more simpler queries. But each day I practice my programming I turn to search engines more and more to adapt similar problems to my own so the kickoff of using AI got me to the point where I had a stronger understanding of how things work in a practical learning method that worked really really well for me.

I hate how great AI can be in some use cases while I also am part of the reason for excessive power usage of GPUs :( but I really don’t think I would’ve been able to get as far as I’ve come today without it.

I had the same thought but found his website and the art style is a bit different. https://jeffleejohnson.com/horror-gallery.html

I am curious about who it is now tho, can’t really tell from the watermark in the bottom right corner.

Thank you so much for making these! It’s great to see if there’s anything I’ve missed!

Speaking a dead language would be cool. Maybe teach it to others and read into the history, etymology and people of it. Talk to historians and what not.

Their AI sure as hell can’t discern folk punk and ska lol

I’m glad my tinkering could be of use to you!

I run my Deck as my primary computer and have been for about a year or so now. About 10 months without any Windows computer or alternative computer around. It’s been shugging and tugging away at all my projects where I do audio editing, gaming, voice chat, using my Sony camera as a webcam, editing sheet music through MuseScore, intensive web development and managing my servers.

There’s a lot that can be done with the Deck and I’m sure I’m in the 1% if not less of people using it as intensively as I am. I’ve made sure my Deck has a lock screen and has full disk encryption through LUKS as well which both is important to me since I work a lot on it when I’m away from home.

If you have any more thoughts regarding using the Deck as more of a PC I’ll happily share some tips and answer any questions!

I’ve actually done a tad bit of video editing on my Deck through Kdenlive and in short, it works.

I think a general issue is that Kdenlive tends to crash in of itself a bit. The biggest limitor is probably the lack of GPU based hardware exporting available for the Decks APU in Kdenlive. As well as the 16GB of RAM.

What I specifically did was load in a video file about an hours length, cut it down and overlay some recorded audio to it, sync it up and export. It was sluggish, froze every now and then and crashed a couple of times. RAM and CPU usage was continuously at high. If I remember correctly, the video was in 4K recorded on an iPhone in HDR. At least the source video was, I can’t recall if I scaled it down to 1080p or not.

I do want to mention that I’m not running SteamOS on my Deck however. I believe at the time I was running Bazzite and now I’m running Nobara. I haven’t tried doing this on SteamOS but I would imagine the experience would be more or less the same.

Will it work? Yes, kinda. Will it be as good as an experience as running it on a full fledged desktop with more RAM, higher end CPU and a somewhat modern dedicated GPU? No, it won’t. It’ll work in a pinch or if you have time and patience.

I got a pre-order LCD Deck (256GB) from mid-October. While I don’t game too much on mine but mainly do desktop work, mostly server management and web development, it holds about 3 or 4 hours depending on how heavy the task is. When I play No Man’s Sky it’ll last about an hour.

I can’t see battery health as easily in GNOME tho. But I’m not complaining. This is while being plugged into a USB-C external 1080p OLED monitor and mouse and keyboard connected with Bluetooth.

For people wondering how the battery health is calculated, I’m guessing it’s what the factory max charge was in watt hours and how many it comparably holds now during max charge. That’s at least how I’ve seen battery health being calculated before!

Average Lemmy moment

In Danish, which the OG image is from, Stop is with only one P. Interestingly it is with two Ps in Norwegian as well.

I plug my Behringer UMC404HD into the Deck using a hub adapter. Then I have my Sennheiser HD599 for audio and Shure SM57 for microphone. :-)

I’m a recorder musician and finding that video hurt

I’m imagining someone forcefully hiccuping and burping infront of their computer and then slowly looking into the distance to reflect about it repeatedly.

What’s cowbell?

I like this one. Whose the artist? Would love to gift a print to a friend of mine one day!

I’m on Calyx on my FP4 right now! Works great!

I’m sending this to my bff.

I almost thought some new law was passed about WiFi and Windows Server in whatever country they’re in lmao

I’ve got the Keychron K7, it has low profile switches and keycaps and works pretty alright. Since I use my Deck as a dev machine and do my general computer stuff on it as well, In almost always bring it with me.

The downside to the K7 I’d say is the battery life. I often have it plugged in when at home and it lasts me when I’m out but the Bluetooth dies quickly on it when I forget to do so.

They have a re-programmable version of it as well and while I don’t have that one to save a bit of cash I’d wager it works a bit nicer.

There’s also different switches available to purchase. I have the keychron browns but hope to upgrade to the Gateron Banana or equivalent one day.
