How are they a gatekeeper? Near monopoly sure. But they don’t force companies to only publish on Steam. They don’t have restrictive rules. I’m not sure what gate they are keeping.

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

As with pretty much any staple food. It’s used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.

If a staple food isn’t part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.

Also I enjoy rice. It’s neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it’s good.

I didn’t grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.

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’m also in the desktop camp. But I just purchased a Framework 16. The upgradable dGPU (assuming they release new ones) might make laptops more viable for gaming.

Good news, It’s coming out on PC.

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

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

Without knowing if the source is accurate, it’s about the NES Tetris not the Gameboy Tetris. So saying someone has beaten GB Tetris isn’t really relevant.

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.

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.

I see a set-top box that uses the same SoC as a deck as a possibility if they can get it cheap enough. Maybe paired with a new Steam Controller.

Throwing UTC everywhere doesn’t solve comparisons around leap seconds. I’m sure they’re other issues with this method, but this is kinda the point of “just use a library”. Then it’s someone else’s problem.

Go to a library, some have scanners with feeders that will scan to a flash drive.

My understanding is the display uses MIPI (not eDP) which doesn’t support VRR.

Yes it doesn’t involve carbon capture, I was just replying to the comment that shipping needs carbon capture because of the fuel it uses. You don’t need carbon capture if you change the fuel source which is entirely feasible for shipping.

What? Green hydrogen seems very likely as an alternative for shipping.

I think air/spacecraft are the harder problems to solve.
