It seems that the charger Valve made for the new Steam Controller is always on and pointed upwards. In case anyone place even remotely conductive materials on top, the charger will shorten. Yes, your body is also conductive...
This definitely violates several safety regulations in North America and Europe, which most likely going to force Valve to redesign and replace all charges. As of now, one charger went off due to smart watch band placed on top. And now we have the official "we are investigating" response from the company, who will replace the device (with exactly the same one).
Oddly enough, the same exact issue already exists in the charger of other gamepads, like 8BitDo Ultimate 2. But due to limited requirements for such devices, they are being sold without independent testing.

The same hacker cracked Mafia The Old Country and LEGO Batman in the same day. Apparently, Denuvo is useless.

I'm tired of seeing people who still believe that "VA is for gaming". Every week someone asks what VA to buy. Even Samsung Odyssey is a bit better but they all have Black Smearing.
The switch between black-white-black is times longer than G-to-G. It makes thin white elements flicker back and forth: grass, fences, fabric, UI elements and text — they will all flicker. The slower the FPS the worse the flicker will be.
- Buy IPS for mixed use
- Buy OLED for entertainment
- Never buy VA and smack anyone who suggest it
On average, people should buy IPS (as of now). They are fast, they never burn, they don't flicker, and they render text perfectly.

Never been a fan of the whole Starmania (despite it's even more relevant now), but Le monde est stone is just magical:
