Hello everyone,

I've been lurking in this sub for a few months now and at this point have received a preliminary offer from a company pending acceptance of a few admin related requirements.

As an American, I'm looking for advice on behaviors to avoid if i do indeed end up in LU.

We're not overly loud and boisterous people and I've worked hard to ensure my kids aren't the type of people to end up on r/shitAmericansSay.

What would you all suggest we avoid?

Hey everyone. I've seen this beat to death in my brief search of the subreddit so I'll explain my situation quickly and end with the question you all know is coming.

I don't personally use my wifes steamdeck as i prefer to play on PC and my hands are large enough that holding it is not comfortable due to the way i have to crunch in my thumbs and how small the shoulder buttons are.

That being said, she's beginning to have heat issues while playing her games. Some of it i attribute to a cheap USBC only dock that splits out to the HDMI for TV usage (she doesn't do handheld either), due to the deck itself resting against the dock with only about half of the intake vent exposed.

Now the question: would a full back plate replacement with better venting help this or would it be better to go full DIY with some of the improved copper sinks and new thermal pads on hotspot surface/components?

I also just debated buying her a dock with a fan built into it like the one from jsaux.

What do you guys think would be the best option?
