Odin 2 Mini has ST8550 chip while Frame has one generation newer ST8650, I consider them lamost the same.
I could run OG Oblivion wothout issues at 1080p, I could run Tomb Raider (2013? reboot) at 1080p.
I could run Talos Principle but it lagged when moving or looking around. It was kinda ok when standing still.
I tried Witcher 3 but couldn't start it. It should run, but it didn't for me.
I tried American Truck Simulator and it could be made to run at 30fps but I would have to go low graphics and/or/maybe even 720p. Didn't test much.
I tried many hardware-easier games like Stardew Valley, Is this seat taken?, Lyne, Machinarium, Planet of Lana, Flatout 2, Keep talking and nobody explodes and these worked like a charm at full 1080p.
I didn't go into any optimizations whatsoever, maybe it could run SteamOS and that would save some resources, maybe it could use some Valve patches from their build for Frame, but I just did kinda out-of-the-box tests.
Ma daughter actually continues to play games on this Odin 2 Mini.

Comment on Pulsar X2 v2 Medium mouse battery replacement in ~comp
Pavouk106 (edited )LinkJust an information on batteries of this type: the number 602030 and 902030 means the physical dimensions of the battery.

I imagine 60 is 6.0mm, 20 is 20mm and 30 is 30mm with the difference between the two here being the height of 6.0mm. v. 9.0mm.
If you are ever in a need of this kind of battery and thinking about getting different capacity, the knwledge of dimensions being right in the name might come in handy.
EDIT: About the Pulsar software - there can be three outcomes:
- it measures the voltage and kinda guesses the percentage (percentage by voltage is not precise); if this is the case, it will work as usual
- it measures the state of charge aka how much charge was put to the battery and how much was drained from it and calculates percentage based on this; this would take into account the new calacity and will get you more precise ETA; Steam Deck does this, for example; I consider this to be the best way to measure capacity, but from time to time you have to deplete the battery completely to reset the state to true zero
- the capacity is hardwired at 300mAh; this could mean your battery might not fully charge to 550mAh (but being reported as if it was) and will discharge just those 300mAh; this seems highly unlikely as it is kinda complicated and has not advantage (ie. cheaper making process)
If I had to guess, number one it would be - it will last longer and report battery state as you were used to.
EDIT2: I completely forgot - good job! It's great when people make use of their things even past the expected lifetime and fix them by themselves!

I do open panels from one on the other and vice versa, as sometimes I want to read a thing I started on first and want to continue on second device. Think reading on PC and continuing on phone on toilet... Or reading some manual or technical thing on phone and then opening it on desktop and executing commends there.
That's the only thing I kinda do on both combined. Thanks to Firefox account and sharing of tabs throughout my devices, not to Google.

DLCs add some weapons but mainly locations, they don't really have anything to add to the base game world. Apart from Spectrum Gatling, which is also science weapon but one I actually used - being able to rip enemies with sniper level damage but actually minigun firing rate and having all damage types on top of that, you can't beat it. Well, it was going throu my ammo stack like it was butter on hot sunny day...
I can confirm, that I also used sniper rifles the most and also one-hit killed many, but not actually everything. One of the DLCs had real boss - with life-bar and huge life points. This was missing in the base game.
But I overall liked the world, locations, characters, the story was meh, but the setting of the game was great (dystopian society). It's not a great game, but solid.

But since the VR salenon Steam goes down on 21st, this day, I have bought a bunch of games already. Some easy to pickup ones like Fruit Ninja or SimplePlanes, Walkabout Mini Golf, The Last Clockwinder and the one and only Beat Saber - this one with DLC pack Monstercat Mixtape 2, because, well, it's called beat saber and Monstercat Mixtape has the beats! Not the music I listen to, but perfect for such game.

For...I have finally fi ished the Outer Worlds and its DLCs. Really solid gane, if you ask me. It is very Fallout-y in a way of various skills and how you can implement them in your gameplay. For example, I didn't put nearly any points into any fighting skills, be it melee or any guns. I went the speech/technical way. Mild spoiler - I even talked down final boss of the game, which was kinda anticlimactic, but fitting to the story.
There are not that many weaponsandnthey repeat in three tiers. There are many unique and also one if a kind ones though.
I love how there are many people you can talk to and quest givers amd relatives have rich dialogues, both in length and also in options to choose from, many of which being one-time only - this means you have four to choose and once you pick, you can't ever go back to the dialogue tree again and try other ones (besides lading the game). Sometines this makes for different outcome but even when it doesn't, it still behaves this way.
The world is kinda alien-ish, developers went haywire on that. Visuals are very good, even though I played at medium on Steam Deck, it gets you properly into the alien world the game takes place in. Planets/places vary a lot, making every stop on your journey a unique one.
The story isn't exactly bad, but nothing to write home about. The good thing is you can approach it in two ways, kinda good/bad scenario. I always (twice) picked the good one (in my eyes).
This game is kinde shuned upon by many players, but I don't see why. It is solid game. And DLCs are very good, very fitting unto the game world.

I could climb the mountain, drop from higher floor, use rope to climb up or down on it, use ladders... But when I had to move at say 20-30km/h sliding down (and forward at the same time) on a rope, I wouldn't be able to stand straight in the real world. When such situation came on in the game, I used natural shutter - I simply closed my eyes for the time I was sliding down the rope. I don't know if I could ever learn to accept that.
On the other hand - I played Puzzling places and it was very easy to walk around the VR space as I was actually walking in friends living room, no teleporting. That was really great to do, very natural.

I was on Rhodes (the Greece island, not the American one) on vacation and there was this rockband playing one evening. They played just covers, but they were really good! I went on a quest next day and eventually got to them through hotel manager (the big boss). They are called Lethal Candy and I would like to kindly ask all of you to boost their 10th anniversary stream video that got 34 views so far. Can we make it over 100 together? Come on! You can expect some GNR, AC/DC, Bryan Adams and so on - all the good stuff.
Or maybe you'd like to see some German high school choir singing Heal the world or I'll be missing you - both featuring absolutely awesome lead singers IMHO.
Or we can step it up a notch and make it a show - Marla Mindelle as Sister Mary Robert in Sister Act on Broadway singing Life I never led - absolutely perfect and touching song that makes Sister Mary Robert the star of the show for me, something that was missing in the movie.
And let's come back to the actual music. And I mean the time when music was just that - music. The time that I wasn't born yet and still I miss it. Let's have a look at the band I would pick if you presented me one time chance to see anybody perform for me - Dire Straits, specifically for this thread their Walk of life. I didn't live in that time, yet this video captures the music culture for me and it must have been AWESOME!
From the list I provided here, I have watched/listened to everything (excluding Lethal Candy) likely 500 times or more combined. Most viewed would be Dire Straits and Marla Mindelle - the former for their absolutely great live performances, the latter for her role and acting - you would have to see more of the musical, or the whole thing, to understand.

Clothes doesn't shrink in the dryer for us. LTT had a video not long ago about materials of their apparel and they mentioned they use preshrinked cloth - I never knew about it until then. Maybe there are shirts that are made from shrinkable cloth and the dryer shrinks them...?

I've played a lot of those. Not really too.much into the past with dest I tried being Oregon Trail (not really.played though) and Space Invaders/Galaga. Since around 1998 I played majority of them.
I'm missing Mafia: The city of Lost Heaven. It may have been just the Czech version that was really praised, but it is one of the best games I played.
And also Original War. It was, well, original.
