Steam Deck OLED

I bought my first PC type handheald, it will be arriving tomorrow.

I went with a used OLED Steam deack with 100% battery life. I wasn't sure about getting any of the other more powerful ones as I intend to use it a lot for emulation and given the screen quality i went with it.

I am not FPS obsessed, I am more than happy with 30FPS. Given that, my question is, most games should be able to run at 30fps? based on what I saw that seems to be the case with certain games just being too much which takes me to the next question.

How good and reliable is streaming games from your PC to the Steam deck using moonlight instead of Stem link? I have a Wifi 7 router with 1GB upload and download which i read it makes no difference given the steam deck only uses Wifi 6 and Internet speeds make no difference.

I play only single player games so perfect response isn't crucial.

AMOLED vs solar for longevity and indoor use mostly

​

I currently own a fenix 5 and at the time I bought it with the solar display. And it's been now almost 10 years since I have the watch I bought it right when it release and it's still works great the battery still great and I don't really have any problems with it but I want to upgrade to the fenix 9 which hopefully should come out soon. And I was really keen on the AMOLED option but I'm not so sure now because I'm worried about the burn in. I have been reading and there has been some cases specifically as well with watches bought in 2022 they have displayed some sort of damages not everyone does of course.

I will use my watch mostly indoors, I suffer with long covid so I'm trying to recover slowly the last couple of years and of course the newer watches they offer far more control andmeasufements and the body battery thing which may be useful as I still have a hard time being able to manage my day-to-day life without always crashing. Given that I work indoors I thought the AMOLED display would be a better option but because I like my watches to last a very long time and I'm not expecting to purchase any newer model for at least for another maybe eight years, I am starting to wonder whether the AMOLED will be the right choice. As many have had issues within 3 years and 4.

I will also use it for navigation so I don't have to pull my phone out and I do know that the navigation on Garmin isn't as good as for example the Apple watch and Samsung watch. I won't have always on display either.

My question to everyone is how has your experience with the AMOLED display been, have you experienced any sort of burn in and based on what you've been using what would you recommend?

Double glazing window repair

I had a broken double glazing window fixed, the guys were here less than 10 min and got it swapped. When I went and had a look from the outside the bottom rubber had a huge gap and clearly was not aligned properly.

They are trying to tell me that the rubber has shrunk, which is not the case and say they will add silicone to fix but I don't think this is right.

Had they done it carefully this wouldn't not be the case. What can I do in this situation?

IOS to Android Connection

I swapped to the Samsung S26 Ultra recently and the transition to use it in my car has been horrible.

How are android users here managing their hands free communication?

I am connecting via cable for now, it all feels very clunky and just not practical. I know you can buy the adaptor to make it Bluetooth like iPhone but I read it does eat up through your battery. My battery life on my iPhone took a massive hit once I started to use the WIFI charge, the phone would get super hot so I don't want to use it on the new one.

Swapped from iPhone to Samsung

I swapped to the Samsung S26 Ultra recently and the transition to use it in my car has been horrible.

I can only use it by connecting it to my only USB port which means I can only play music from my phone rather than my USB stick. Apart from that the maps worked fine but the hands free experience just isn't working.

I tried to send a text message for over 10 min and i couldn't, it takes like 20 to 30 seconds between commands like "send a message to X" then it riddles the message with wrong words, doesn't pick up on names. Then i need to wait another 20 or 30 seconds and then it tries to read it and ask if i want to send or change, it I choose change it just deletes the whole massage and writes "change it" and I can't get past this.

Is there anything similar to Siri that works? I rely heavily on hands free, I can't keep stopping the car to send messages or pick calls.

AI Tutor

I know not everyone is into using AI but I have been using ChatGPT to ask questions and studying support for a bit and it has been working great as I give it the PDF of the book I am using and has been really accurate.

However I wonder if there is any other AI that is a bit better or the same but cheaper? I can't rely on the free model as I go over the limit of question rather quick. Does anyone have any other AI options? Have you used anything else?

PS:Tutors in my country are very expensive so I can't have many sessions with real people so self studying is the only option and ChatGPT has been a genuine massive help.

Many thanks!

As the title says, I’m looking for recommendations for N1 books.
I’m currently halfway through them N2, and since I’m in Japan for one month, I want to buy all the books that I’ll need here as they are much cheaper than back home.

For grammar, I will be using TRY! N1 but I’d like to add a different grammar book. Currently we are using TRY! N2 with 中級の学ぼう82.

I would like to find something similar to the 中級
As The main texts are not too bad compared with TRY which sound very JLPT at times.

Many thanks.
