That’s fun. I tested positive for ecoli last week and live in Colorado. Nothing to do with McDonalds tho. Got it from a recent overseas trip.

Yep that one exists. I’m currently working on the 10 year achievement in Stanley Parable Deluxe. It’s good to have long-term concrete goals.

For future reference, you can update LG TVs via USB so you can avoid connecting it to a network.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.

But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.

I suggest something from level1techs. The prices are high, but they support DP 1.4 https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/p/14-kvm-switch-dual-monitor-2computer-z5erd-n6mbj

Comparing prices directly like this is almost irrelevant imo. And doesn’t really dictate what the price of games should be.

Reasons old games should be pricier:

• Hardware involved (cartridges/electronics).
• Total number of customers were smaller, you have to subsidize development with less total sales.

Reasons why new games should be pricier:

• Development has inflated to hundreds of people and multiple years (instead of dozens of people and multiple months)

But at the end of the day, business just price what the market will bear. It’s only indirectly related to the cost of production. The margins on some games are insanely high compared to others.

I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I’m not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.

As far as I know, it’s mainly games with DRM that might trigger on multiple installs/computers. So companies will disable family sharing. Not sure how common this is.

Yes to those and the battery is bigger. 50Wh vs 40

I bought it after waiting for the server issues to resolve.

Not surprisingly, North Korea’s Red Star OS has a closed source fork of KDE.

Not surprising since they literally made a game for recruiting in 2002. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Army

To their credit, they released a tool to patch the bios yourself. Which is about all they can do in case they stop existing. https://github.com/DeckHD/BiosMaker

I like the game, but it doesn’t take advantage of the Steam Deck’s touch pads at all. A hybrid mouse/controller scheme would work very well for this type of game. And atm you can’t even make a custom hybrid control scheme because switching between m/kb and controller is bugged.

Is it Hell Let Loose? I started playing it since they support Linux now, very well done Battlefield-like game. I haven’t played much BF since 1942.

If you’re not just being facetious, https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good source.

According to them ~58% of anti-cheat games work. There’s been a large uptick of anti-cheat support since the Steam Deck.

According to ProtonDB, 86% of the top 1000 games on Steam function (Silver+ rating). It’s a pretty safe bet that the most of the missing 14% is probably due to anti-cheat.

There’s software that can do this for you as well. I pass both input and output over the network with no noticeable latency (via ehernet).

If you’re using Linux and pipe wire, this is supported out of the box:

pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp port=4656 listen=IPADDRESS

pactl load-module module-tunnel-sink server=IPADDRESS tcp::4656

They’re other methods on different OS’s, this is just what I use.

Interesting, I’ll have to look at the source article.

But as far as I’m aware the total amount of nuclear power has been decreasing in recent years. This might change with China’s future plants.

I’ve also read about small modular reactor designs gaining traction, which would help alleviate the heavy costs of one off plants we currently design and build.

Not saying the source is wrong, just saying that’s what I used to form my opinion.

I think that’s too simplistic of a view. Part of the high cost of nuclear is because of the somewhat niche use. As with everything, economies of scale makes things cheaper. Supporting one nuclear plant with specialized labor, parts, fuel, etc is much more expensive then supporting 100 plants, per Watt.

I can’t say more plants would drastically reduce costs. But it would definitely help.
