And then you do it in a web browser and open developer mode

Hm interesting - try unplugging the charger from the back of the dock and plugging it back in while the deck is still awake, that's what this approach hopes to automate

Ha I had the same habit but the deck is a little bit away and sometimes its a pain (especially while eating) to set everything down to go power on the deck. That's what led me to chase WoL (and now power on AC)

Hm no luck for me - I'm using a BenQ gaming projector so I'm not sure if TVs and Projectors behave differently in terms of HDMI. Sometimes I still need to "power cycle" the AC adapter to get an image after just switching from gaming mode to desktop mode

 

Two issues have plagued the official dock for me:

  1. After waking up from sleep, HDMI is black unless AC adapter is unplugged and re-plugged

  2. Wake on Lan doesn't work because the deck going to sleep seems to put the dock to sleep, the Ethernet lights turn off

I solved both using a smart plug. I have a Sonoff (S40 Lite) and a TP-Link Kasa, both have Python packages to control via terminal which led me to choose them.

To enable Power on AC attach:

Shutdown the steam deck fully (not sleep). Hold Volume '+' button and power on to go to BIOS. Go to setup, power, Power on AC Attach and enable.

I set up SSH keys for the steam deck from my phone using Termux on Android. I power it off using an ssh command from my termux, then use a python command to turn off the smart plug as well (you can use the web app or smartphone app just as well, using python just let's me link it all into one command)

To turn on, I just turn on the smart plug and seems to fix the HDMI black screen issue too!

The fact that it just spits out a CSV in an announcement post per subreddit that you have to manually download and CTRL+F your username is hilarious for a company this big. They couldn't implement a proper dashboard?

Does logging in work for you all? I'm on my phone with desktop mode on and it redirects to a blank page after logging in

Does no one remember the Ellen Pao era

I think there's a difference between typos and the grammar of someone learning the language.

Meaning that you can usually differentiate between a native speaker of your language typing hastily and not bothering to correct themselves of clean up, vs a new person learning your language speaking in a generally broken manner. I think by typos OP was referring to the first case, and was probably not accusing ESL learners for having imperfect grammar.

To add to that, searching isn't as simple as "best laptops reddit" if the knowledge is spread across the fediverse. That's something I'd be interested to see

Well think about it with this crude kind of inaccurate analogy.

You have a windows laptop. Your friend has a windows laptop. When you're logged in to your laptop you can send your friend email. And see his emails to you.

But just because your laptop is windows and his laptop is windows doesn't mean your windows log-in would work on his right? Lemmy works more like that. Reddit is kind of like one large windows laptop and everyone gets their own keyboard. Your log in works no matter which keyboard you use.

You may notice that Lemmy communities have the @ symbol like an email. So tech@lemmy.world is different from tech@lemmy.ml (just like how robert@yahoo.com is not the same account as robert@gmail.com). They MAY be made by the same Robert but there's no guarantee.

You really just need one account. So in the communities tab from your instance (Lemmy.world) you can search for the community on the other instance (Lemmy.ml) for example tech@lemmy.ml.

Your account let's you post and comment on @lemmy.ml posts
