    Because we love em!

    Scratching in the “wrong” places tends to be either from frustration, or a lack of stimulation/appropriate places to scratch.

    You probably already have some scratching toys/mats/spots, but try experimenting with different orientations; attached to a wall, 45 degree angles, those wave pattern ones, not just straight flat on the ground.

    Also, try different materials. Some cats love that rope, others want cardboard, and some are very picky or want both.

    If your cat is overweight and leaving streaks or not drinking enough, you should talk to a vet, ideally making an appointment with a nutritional specialist. It may be they are allergic to something in their food, causing intestinal upset. If that’s difficult, you can also simply try giving pouches of small gastrointestinal wet food and seeing if that helps.

    It may also be because they are too fat to clean themselves properly, and they butt-scoot to clean it that way? You can get special diet food that fills them but doesn’t have as many calories.

    Either connect them to a docked Steam Deck by the TV, or my gaming PC, yeah. The Steam Deck is nice, but for an extended session it’s quite a hefty device. Being able to have the same controls while laid back on the couch or reclined in a chair would be more comfortable I think.

    I’ve said it before, just… give me a Steam Deck without the screen, and I’ll buy it. I need that layout, it’s the perfect combination of features for me.

    If I could be greedy, an extra set of back paddles and some extra “spare” buttons would be nice for flight/space sim games.

    Both are up to date. I actually suspect this is an issue caused by the newer firmware, but there is only one firmware version available when I looked into it.

    I ended up working around the problem, and just using the old NVME as the OS drive and using hibernate rather than sleep. It seems something about going into standby causes the problem, and the system going “cold” by parking onto the disk doesn’t cause the same issue.

    I’ve been having the same problem, and it’s not Linux specific; this happens on both my Linux and Windows partitions. I’ve yet to find a clear cause and no amount of changes to power consumption or boot parameters seems to fix it. In my case, the unit is also the boot/OS drive for both.

    I suspect it’s something related to the NVME, since I did not have the problem with my 1TB unit, it only started after replacing it with a 4TB one. Both are WD, though I don’t have the exact model on hand.

    I’d love to hear back if you find a fix, because it’s got me stumped.
