What do you mean you "hope" rape is objectively bad? Can you expand on that? I find that phrasing to be... Weird

It makes a loud and very obnoxious mechanical clicking noise that gets worse under load. I'm guessing one of the internal fans got damaged in shipping.
I opened my ticket with a video and explanation - a quick "hey, this is the first boot I've not even hooked up a monitor and listen to this noise".
So far Steam support has asked me if I've modified or disassembled it, then told me to try factory resetting it, uninstall any third party plugins, and turn off "updated fan controller". Last I heard from them was early Wednesday that they're looking into it. No followup just complete radio silence.
And here I'm in the process of trying to get them to initiate a return because they sent me a defective Steam Machine and so far the support experience has been abysmal.
Negative bias. We notice these anomalies more than we notice the ones that don't disappoint their mothers.
I read about and see videos about the humans right violations that are happening in Pakistan, Ukraine, and other parts of the world and I know if I were put through some of that, having seen videos and read shit ain't going to mean jack shit.

I stumbled on this post in my all feed. I don't journal and don't think I can contribute meaningfully but still feel like contributing a deadpan:
No. I have aphantasia.

It's a great city car or car for anything that just involves charging locally lol.
As a Bolt fan, a 22/23 premier euv with all the bells and whistles is surprisingly affordable with only a few caveats.
Caveat one is they're speed limited to 92MPH. Probably not an issue. Second is more important - a slow DCFC (DC fast charge). If you want to go on long road trips though it probably isn't the car for you. Something like a used Ioniq 6 might be a better fit.
They also like shiny things so it wouldn't surprise me if it's just due to that.

My first thought was to take it apart and fix whatever the problem is, I've fixed issues like this before.
But I also bought it to be plug and play - disassembling to fix what is either a shipping issue or manufacturing defect is not plug and play. So I decided I would use this opportunity to see how the support experience is. So far my consensus is I'm glad I haven't had any issues with my Steam Deck...
