Steam Deck Client Update: Per-game perf profiles, keyboard updates, and more

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1675200/announcements/detail/3216144458727332894

Top regrets of 2022:

1) Selling Steam Deck
2) Buying Macbook Pro M1 (Probably In July at least)
3) Forgetting to blacklist certain tags in hanime (nsfw)

I still don't know why you sold it so fast. How long did you have it? A couple weeks?

AMD CPU Share Skyrockets Amid Biggest Desktop PC Quarterly Decline In History

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-share-skyrockets-amid-biggest-quarterly-desktop-pc-decline-in-history

With covid going down, Lovelace/RDNA 3/Ar-LOL on the horizon as well as zen 4/Raptor Lake, there is little reason to get a PC atm.

If you couple that Zen4 CPU with the latest leak from Moore's Law Is Dead, only those that must get a CPU should do it now.

For those that don't know, I'm talking about this leak: https://wccftech.com/amd-next-gen-zen-4-zen-4c-zen-5-zen-6-core-architecture-details-raphael-dragon-range-phoenix-cpus/

This is a summary of the improvements of Zen4 compared to Zen3:

• 15-24% IPC Increase (Over Zen 3)
• 8-14% Clock Increase (Over Zen 3)
• 28-37% ST Perf Increase (Over Zen 3)
• ST-Like or Higher MT Perf Increase (Over Zen 3)
• 1 MB L2 / 4 MB L3 Per Core (vs 512 KB / 4 MB L3 per Zen 3 Core)

WTF?!

I can understand developing something to give us the sense of smell, but why would someone need someting that makes it harder to breathe? It's stupid.
