Tell your friends to NOT update to SteamOS 3.7.8. It is BROKEN. There are many, many, MANY issues with it.

steamcommunity.com/app/1675200

steamcommunity.comSteamOS 3.7.8 is BROKEN! (Bug Report and Guide to Revert to Old SteamOS) :: Steam Deck Bug ReportsThis is a catch-all thread for reporting problems directly related to SteamOS 3.7.8, as well as a plea to Valve to fix this AND a short guide to rolling back to the previous version (it's not as hard as you may think). What I've done First, my own experiences: I first noticed this in trying to play co-op in Stardew Valley on my OLED Steam Deck, right after updating to SteamOS 3.7.8. It stayed stuck on "Connecting to online services" forever.

guess what still hasn't been addressed by August? yup: their locks constantly falling off wifi, reconnecting, burning through batteries every time. i reported to Ubiquiti but it's happening at the other house in PHL too and i am using standard fare xfinity xb8 gateway and a mesh node upstairs but the lock in philly is also line of sight to the g-ddamned access point it's connected to.

...and it turns out I was right! When I tested an old actuator against a new actuator, I saw a .01A draw difference (.04 on the new actuator vs .05 on the old) when I tried to prevent the output shaft from turning by hand. They both draw .02A under normal operation.

Now, there's obviously some room for error here - this isn't the most accurate sensor in the world. But it does confirm my theory, at least.

Unfortunately this means we had to order more actuators (we only kept one old one), which is annoying. But it's nice to finally be done chasing this issue. Once we get the new actuators in, my partner thinks we can replace all three without disconnecting the heater and AC lines from the blend box. So another two hours to pull the dash back apart, swap the actuators, and put it all back together.

Still not bad for a car that was marked for scrap a month ago!

The old blend door actuator. It's a small black plastic housing, with a faded white sticker attached. The output shaft isn't visible, and is being held down (prevented from turning) by a finger and thumb. To the right, a small adjustable power supply shows 12Vdc and .05A as the motor tries to turn against the resistance.

Well this was fun to troubleshoot!

We've been attempting to fix the blend doors in our salvaged 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Common failure point, and my partner through she'd replace the actuators (little motors and gear drives that move the blend doors) while we had the dash apart.

Installed new actuators. Vent selection actuator (floor, face, defrost, etc) worked fine, but the other three didn't work. I ran the calibration test, which should have each motor run through its full range of motion. However, all three turned in one direction, continued to turn while jumping teeth, and then stopped and threw error codes.

These are two-wire, so there's no hall effect sensor or similar. Also no sensors on the doors/blend box to tell the actuator when to stop. So I figured the HVAC computer had to be sensing current draw (electric motors will draw more current under load). When draw spikes, you've hit the physical limit of travel.

@Computer Thank you, friend computer! I too would like to compliment my superiors. They have managed at an acceptable level at all times when I have seen them. Many coworkers say that, but for their presence, levels of execution would have plummeted much faster. Without their leadership, we would not have as much treasonable activity to #troubleshoot. I have even seen them use #alphacomplex resources as intended, more than once! Just this month efficiency crossed the 20% "watershed" line, and is now 17%.

Can anyone offer a guess as to why I'm getting an HSTS error only on one computer?
I've run all Windows updates and a full virus/malware scan, and still can't load hippyjo.com or idwerkz.com on my desktop machine, in any browser.
They load fine on my laptop and phone though.
I've cleared cache, DNS, for windows and Chrome, and Firefox.
SSL certificate is valid, though I am not certain my hosting service has configured everything else properly. But they seem to load fine on every device other than my desktop.
I've exhausted my brain - can't figure out why the problem is only on this machine.
Please and thank you in advance for any ideas of what might be going on.

刚把几个设备的 #Tor 都更到了14.0.1 (archive.ph/LmTq2)，重启：

Android ✅
Debian ✅
Windows ⏳...

...卡 Windows 这了。更完后怎么也连不上：直连，开 Bridge，Built-in 的 #obfs、#meek、#snowflake，非 built-in 的 custom，全试了个遍，都没反应。

由于这台 Win 的软件流量是默认走 V2Ray 绕过 GFW 的。所以尽管它物理位置在中国，我还是没往这个可能性上想。但 "Tor"、"GFW"、"Bridge 失效"，这几个因素叠一块，总是哪里不对。

搞半天反应过来，是不是 Tor 没走代理。一看发现就是这原因，因为 Tor 的 Win 客户端是 Portable (archive.ph/tPedE)，它的代理不仅要在系统层面配置，还要在软件内配置 (archive.ph/r62u8)。所以当更新后代理被清除，就需要重新配置。

(1/2)

I cannot figure how to embed photo or video links so they display in Mastodon at all and it is making this platform nearly useless for me.

I know it's possible because other users do it. But whenever I post a YouTube link or link to my Pixelfed or even directly to a picture, it just displays a link. It's terrible.

What am I doing wrong? I'm about to abandon the platform fr.
