  • Highly recommend everyone give this a listen. It covered most of the other possibilities people are bringing up in this thread:

    • They have to be pulled out, moved, and pushed back in to change the state
    • The plane cannot take off with them in the wrong position
    • There is no procedure to ever toggle both off at the same time, and no procedure to toggle them off period at their low altitude
    • Both were toggled off within 1 seconds of each other
    • The engines were functioning normally when they were toggled off

    Captain Steve really tried to not blame the pilots in previous videos about this crash, in fact he really believed it had to be something else, so it says a lot that this is the only conclusion he can come up with.

  • I’ll just add that another, albeit smaller, category of games that don’t work are really new, demanding titles. There’s not a lot of them for now, but naturally the deck wasn’t the most powerful device to begin with and over time less titles will work well.

    Starfield was pointed out to me as an example of one that can’t run on the deck for performance reasons (not that Bethesda is known for their optimization) and BG3 was only barely playable at the lowest settings in the more demanding areas of the game (i.e. Act 3).

    That said, for its price point, and considering most games are using the proton compatibility later, I was actually very impressed with its performance.
