The Steam Deck, like most mobile devices, don't have issues with voltage as most don't deal with it. It's their charging cables that do that, which are external.

In the Steam Decks case, you just need a plug adapter as the stock USB plug that comes with it is rated for 110-240 volts. Your voltage is 230 volts, so no problems.

I've already had to do this, so already know it works. I've used my Canadian Steam Deck (110 volts) in Ireland (230 volts), and well as in Korea (220 volts). All I needed was a plug adapter, not a voltage adapter.

If you are still worried though, the Steam Deck is powered completely through USB C so you could just get a different USB C adapter to charge it. The stock plug charges at a rate of 40 watts, but can go slower though charging speed will show.

Oh, of course. When you get trapped in your confidently wrong BS, you move the goal post.

The whole thread is about supposedly not being able to install beyond the Google Play Store, its literallyin the posts title. Trying to rewrite what "sideloading" is now isn't helping you're argument.

From what I've read about this lawsuit is that the UK isn't blocking the site, they are sending them daily fines for not IDing every user. The 2 sites are arguing back that they aren't UK companies and don't even have any business/physical presence in the UK, so as they have nothing to do with anything of the UK then UK laws and legal threats have no meaning to them. Which I agree with here.

I think they are seeking legal lawsuits like this to help prevent any future issues (like having arrest warrants issued for them in the UK, preventing them from ever being there, or the risk of other countries arresting them and shipping them to the UK to face the fines/charges).

You literally pointed out that sideloading will still be available, which is what this is about. It's not about if developers need to be registered, that's its own issue with is separate own issue. Blocking sideloading means no more 3rd party stores, which will still be very much allowed even in these ruling.

And when did I say anything about you being any type of user, regular or otherwise? And what does that have to do with anything about this false claim that sideloading will be banned?

Did you reply to the wrong comment? Or are you taking confidently wrong to a whole new level?

It never fails to amuse me how confidently wrong some people can be when they don't even read what they link to.

Because, you know, if you did read that link, you'd know how wrong you were.

Where does it say that Google is blocking all side loading?

It says they are blocking the installing of unsigned apps. This is the macOS Gatekeeper being the only option on Android. You can still download and install apps that aren't in the Play Store. So the EU will still love this as 3rd party apps can still exist, but at the same time anything "illegal" can be reported to them immediately.

Source for this ban claim?

I know there is a ban on not being able to install unsigned apps, but it won't limit apps to only Google Play apps.

Please, while the whole situation is BS, adding complete misinformation to the mix isn't going to help.

EU: Thank you Google for complying with the DSA.

This is a a huge part of it, the whole "prevent illegal" parts.

"easier reporting of illegal content"
"less exposure to illegal content"
"level-playing field against providers of illegal content"

The EU isn't going to punish them for this, they will hold this up as the golden standard.

Considering:

A) You can still install any app you want beyond the Play Store (the rule is that developers need to get all their apps signed, and doesn't effect the end user technically)

And

B) Its most likely being done because of the EU, it's a part of the DSA (https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/europe-fit-digital-age/digital-services-act_en). The "trader status", and other parts against illegal content)

The EU most like has already set them straight and this is the result.

If you like VN style games, I'd recommend "Hotel Dusk: Room 215" and "Last Window: The Secret of Cape West". (Same genre as Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright). Both are on the DS, and each takes advantage of the hardware as well.

I have a N3DS. As for when I last tried, would have been 8 to 12 months ago max.

And the Vita doesn't has multiple days of all day gaming, it has about the same amount of play time as the 3DS, but it can be left in sleep mode for much longer. After 2-3 days of being in sleep mode (normal, not an emulator), the 3DS battery is drained and i need to recharge it. The Vita can sit for a week or 2 and barely have lost any power.

What PSX games did you try? I tried Silent Hill and it was more of a sideshow than a game.

As for the power drain, I don't always have time to charge every night and that's when I see the problems. (Traveling and such)

A used PS Vita would be better I feel. Similar size, and just as hackable (Emu4Vita). Except a Vita has:

better screen
Bluetooth audio (more and more headphones are Bluetooth)
A functional sleep mode (the 3ds doesn't go into sleep mode unless it's a 3DS/DS game. So any emulator game just turns off the screen but still runs and drains the battery)
A possibly standard connector (the 2000 series uses micro-USB)

The only advantage a 3DS has is that it has 3DS and DS games, but the Vita has PS Vita games, PSP games, and PSX games to its advantage.

No, it's nothing like what Apple's been doing.

Apple has been losing in court about everyone needs to give them money anytime anything makes any money on iOS, or even thinking absolutely allowing others to install anything beyond their App Store.

This is Google demanding every app that can be installed on Android must be signed by them, and the only cost is registering with them your name and address, possibly verified by government ID. (And quite possible doxxing you at the same time as they already do on the Play Store....)

These are very different, and unlike Apple, will more likely be applauded by numerous world governments in the current "anything a child can even remotely even know about" must have its users be checked to make sure they are "allowed to".

How many basic users do you think build their own desktops and not just buy a pre built?

This was about how many normal people buy Windows, not how many of a very small percentage/niche buy Windows. Please don't move the goal post mid-game.

By this logic then Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas should also be a Disney princess since Touchstone Pictures was wholly owned by Disney.

All hail Disney Princess Sally!

Me explaining what "Insert Disk 2 of 5" means.

Your link doesn't mention anything about mail in voting. But I did look further into it, and it seems that they don't allow mail in ballots. My mistake.
