  • Few things:
    The Deck can’t support 65W charging either. It prefers, and maxes out, at a 45W charge, specifically 15V@3A. It can charge using 12/9/5V standards as well, but obviously does so slower.
    5V charging is only recommended while the deck is off/sleeping as there is a batch with bad charging chips that can overheat and burn out otherwise (as it has to boost the 5V up to 7.4V and above for the battery)

    Slower chargers still work even while gaming - they just extend the time it takes to drain.

    If a powebank advertises mAh, it’s using the nominal voltage of a single lithium cell, 3.6 or 3.7V. If they use Wh (and aren’t blatant scams), then that’s the only thing that matters. What you get out is always less, due to the conversion losses.

    LCD has a 40Wh battery, OLED has 50Wh. Get at least 20% more if you truly want a full charge.

    The deck has power passthrough, once it’s full it uses the charger only. Sometimes this means it “refuses” to charge to 100% and instead stops just shy, that’s kinda normal.




  • Actual film doesn’t work like that (35mm or 70mm IMAX for example), but you are correct that most cinemas these days are digital and they use “1080p” (more accurately DCI 2K which is 2048×1080 when the aspect ratio is 1.90:1). There are a few that do 4K, but overall not that many.

    The main reason that’s enough for cinema though is that those “1080p” films are like 500GB with very little compression displayed through a DLP projector, so they look a heck of a lot better than showing a blu-ray through a massive TV with palm sized pixels.

    Ha, I had this exact conversation with a friend of mine a few days ago, he wants to upgrade from 16GB to 32GB and when I asked why, he just blanked out for a while and went “…because more is better, right?”

    He spends most of his time playing rpg maker porn games and raid shadow legend, also really taxing that RTX 3070 he bought right in the middle of the pandemic.
