It's been four hours. Steam deck fumes killed him. Everyone spread the news.

Is it possible it could be producing ozone and that it is reacting with the plastic? Ozone is not good to smell.

[–] poopsmith@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably not, that would require fairly high voltages. It's probably plastics off-gassing.

SteamDeck Sativa edition

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

Is it similar to the switch's?

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Huh. I wonder if it smells similar to the heat that comes off the back of a PS4.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Maybe, I haven't smelled a PS4 but I have a Steam Deck and it just has that sort of hot electronics smell

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 6 points 10 months ago

So it isn't dangerous but they just don't want you to do it.

I'm wondering if in a few years we find out that hot plastic emits stuff that isn't good for you.

[–] Curiousfur@yiffit.net 5 points 10 months ago

I was literally just doing that lmao

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Never

Surely this question has been answered long ago by science, and could have been included in this remarkable piece of journalism.
