Watching anime on the steam deck via video input out at work during lunch :3:

@coolboymew dont you have phones

@why phone sucks and a lot of phones and tablets cannot easily do video out too
-
@coolboymew @why Found out the other day that Samsung outside of Dex mode forces pillarboxed landscape in portrait clone mode, it won't let you rotate the external display longways to actually use it. Also it topped out at 1440p for what I think was a 2022 flagship, but hey, plenty of phone vendors don't even bother to include video out lmao.

@birdulon @why I hate these toy OSes so much
-
@coolboymew @why the app security model is pretty good but the overall systems are always locked down in obnoxious ways
also telecomms in general is archaic and obnoxious, I got messed around recently trying out a new phone which happens to be eSIM-only
-
@birdulon @why esims are scary because they can lock down that shit hard
-
@coolboymew @why yeah I can't even give it a no commitment test run, if I port my number to it I literally can't go back to my current phone without ordering a new sim+plan and porting the number back
even if I buy a different eSIM-compatible phone, I have to rely on my provider's support systems to be allowed to move the eSIM to that

@birdulon @why jesus

@coolboymew @why I genuinely hate that I'm currently in a position where people need to be able to contact me via phone and sms, so many problems would disappear if it was just services that weren't locked to one stupid device. Also fuck Signal for not allowing multiple phone devices on the same account, I forgot it was even a thing since it allowed several desktop clients on the same account without much trouble.
