Comments here are fun, seem a 3 way split between people thinking it’s GeForce Experience, game stream, and finally the actual cloud streaming service running your own Steam games.

I found it playable but being completely honest, the graphic settings are the lowest and while it looks fine enough for things nearby… shooting at enemies more than a few meters away means aiming under their name. Due to dumb circumstances making my gaming pc unavailable, I’m currently playing it “on my Mac” through GeForce Now.
40 is a sweet spot between 30 and 60: feels much more smooth than 30, is much less demanding than 60. And by the way, 30 is acceptable too as long as it’s stable. Sure it will almost certainly feel less smooth than other options, but especially as you say you’re playing on console mostly… chances are you are already used to 30 fps. I, for example, feel the difference between 30 and 60 in Forza Horizon 5 (and the magic 40) but that’s not preventing me from doing well.
The one thing that I’m not sure has been mentioned yet, is that the Steam Deck targets 720p. The screen is small enough for that to work out fine.
Make it color e-ink and this sounds brilliant!
I can only see the Dalek being reeeally pissed off, all “EXTERMINATE!” lol
Exactly, that’s why the Deck has as the default option to never shut down no matter how long it’s been inactive

I don't remember the details, but I did remember Crusher and Troi looking different....
I couldn't figure out what that was, but this comment reminded me of Dr Who. So thank you for jogging my memory! Was a fairly creepy episode.
I like your solution, quite clever! But in my instance I actually want it to turn off once the print is over. I don't remember the details but I think it's set up so it will turn off after the hot end has cooled down for a few minutes, it's controlled by a plug-in for Octoprint.
You do need to know the number, IF you want to maximize the amount of cooling via open window vs AC.
That aside I'm pretty sure this is an "agree to disagree" situation, mostly because it's clear we have different tastes. A smart home for me has the value of letting me control everything in a single place (always on me), without going around looking for remotes that might need a new battery. Automations are good, but I want to keep control over every little detail.
So you would be fine being a guest in someone's else house, no control over anything and just let whatever automations are in place do their thing? But all of this in your own home? Temperature is an important value to know, tells if it's better to turn off the AC/heat and just open the windows at that time, or when it's the better moment to open them and air the place. Same with air quality, if it gets worse with the windows open it's better to close them, or if it's not great inside it might be a good idea to open.
My fan has an app or a pair of buttons on top, no remote.
It’s not a subscription plan with games, it’s a cloud service running the (supported, stuff about licensing) games you already own on Steam.
