The day Firefox shutters its doors is the day the internet truly dies.

*the web

The internet has so far been doing a much better job surviving as a proper decentralized system than the web.

The top white rectangle is a multi-color LED (presumably RGB). Can’t make out what’s in the bottom, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some form of light sensor for (literally) flashing new information onto the tag.

The light is visible, the flashing isn’t.

Yep, the extra sad thing is that there are actually sold listings too: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=steam+deck+OLED&rt=n…

Some people just can’t be helped, I guess.

Also, the LE is still showing as in-stock for me: store.steampowered.com/sale/steamdeck_2023LE

I think the OOS labels it showed a couple times might have just been from the servers getting overloaded.

There’s lots of ways to round things or chamfer things. Coming from an extruded shape, a basic chamfer is pretty easy, you can do two different extrusions, one a bit shorter than your final piece and one full height, but offset inward a bit, and then hull them together:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">module shape() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    square(10, center = true);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hull() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    linear_extrude(8)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    shape();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    linear_extrude(10)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    offset(delta = -2)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    shape();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

Though, because of the hull, this will only really work with fully convex shapes. Doing this for shapes with concave features is harder.

For rounding, you can do the extrusion, but with it a bit smaller in every dimension, then minkowski with a sphere (or a different shape if you don’t want all the edges rounded), but it’s tricky to get right:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">module shape() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    square(80, center = true);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">minkowski() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    linear_extrude(80)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    shape();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sphere(r = 20);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>
