    Yes that’s the problem.

    Yes, I understand some people wanted it to do or be more, as I said I am not one of those people. I just wanted an awesome remote play device because I was tired of connecting my phone to various things just to get a weak facsimile of my PlayStation.

    I won’t be mad if they update it to do more, but I’m certainly not knocking points off the thing simply because it isn’t a Swiss Army knife for gaming. I could use my SteamDeck for that.

    My guy we have had low latency Bluetooth standards for a long time. You are being duped by corporate propaganda. Do a Google for “AptX LL”. I use Bluetooth headphones on my SteamDeck all the time with no observable latency.

    And yet when I use it I do notice a tiny bit of latency, which is fine for the most part in nearly everything I play, but I’m not sure I’d want to play a rhythm based game on it.

    I’m not alone in this either: Steam Desk - Bluetooth audio latency issues


  • My rebuttal is that it’s simply unreliable to ask random faculty members to tell you the truth about things that make their school look bad.

    That’s not unreasonable, even for yes, this huge liberal hippie.

    “We called each school multiple times for 3 months” tells me absolutely nothing. It could have been two calls, it could have been two thousand, but they are extremely short on details for some reason.

    And since they outsourced it to a third party it adds another layer of obfuscation that makes it difficult to answer anything.

    And finally, the way they settled on not being able to confirm or deny most of the shootings, but still phrased it as if kids shooting each other at school wasn’t a big deal. Like, seriously?

    I’m very disappointed in the author of this NPR article, which usually does their due diligence on these issues.


  • Well it’s not made for those things, so I’m not upset it doesn’t do them.

    And there actually is a reason it doesn’t use Bluetooth headphones, because Bluetooth adds latency and there would be a delay trying to use them for gaming.

    You can see this happen now with a lot of VR headsets, the delay from Bluetooth is really noticeable enough to break immersion.
