It’s also less waste if one of your charging methods breaks, as you can just swap over to the other method and might even find ordering replacement parts unnecessary.

Though ideally I’d also like to see more than one USB-C port for even more redundancy.

Huh, that’s interesting to hear. I have no intention of getting one, so everything I’ve heard until now, both online and in person, was that if you wanted one on launch day you were able to get one. Checking out the situation now though, and yeah, it’s indeed quite dire.

My current toolkit (as a 3D printing hobbyist) on Linux currently includes:

• FreeCAD: Takes some getting used to, is a lot stricter, but that might even improve your CAD skills in the long term, as it forces you to think more about what you’re actually doing. The closest thing to Fusion360.
• OpenSCAD: You’re basically programming your models. Very powerful if you need parts with repeating sections and/or want something with easily adjustable parameters.
• Blender: Useful when I have to do some quick&dirty modifications to a model I’ve downloaded from somewhere.

Gopd yo see the obsession with “solo-devs” wasn’t just my imagination. I almost couldn’t believe the “solo dev with 9 friends” line was delivered with a straight face and was not meant as a joke.

Well, this explains a whole lot. I’ve recently paired a few devices in front of the receiver and then moved them into position and wondered why some of them kept dropping off.

Fun fact: Mario Kart 8 released more than a decade ago and is still the most current one. At least for a few days.

Depends on how you break it. Broken partitions? Sure, Gparted it is. Everything else? Most often can be fixed with a quick arch-chroot and then undoing whatever caused the mess.

So yeah, I agree with the Ventoy suggestion. Such a neat little tool that it’s earned it’s place on my key-chain.

On the other hand, I’ll be curios how far Steam Input integration will go. Assuming these don’t self-destruct every few weeks like the original Joy-cons, these might make a neat portable controller.

And then there are those people that put a whole damn song as their notification sound.

They’ve basically set up Pavlovs conditioning experiment and inserted themselves as the test subject.

There are some caveats, but you could always extend your storage capabilities with a USB-DAS. I currently have two with 4 slots each extending a small NUC-style server.

PS: I don’t see a mention of at least one SSD. If not already planned, you should at the very least use one for the OS.

Agree. I wouldn’t even mind it if they were more open about what they’re actually doing, as picking a well working set of apps from the sea open-source apps can have value.

That said, if you read through that site it feels like they want to appear like it’s them who created all that software.

From a pure functional perspective, probably. Maybe.

Personally, I look at this more as a piece of art, as the chart was most likely picked because the visuals replicate what its describing: Science funding was shattered and is now in pieces.

Oh yeah, statistics gathering is something I think is generally a bit underrated. Many people see it as “gimmicky” compared to the automation features, but whether it’s statistics about electricity water or air quality, I’ve found that there’s so much insight to be gained about what’s happening in your home over the course of a day.

And since you’re talking about sleep quality: One thing I’ve recently found out is that there’s a addon for HA that can calculate the absolute humidity based on the temperature and relative humidity. That way you can figure out if opening the windows will increase or decrease the relative humidity and by how much BEFORE opening the windows.
Figured this out after trying to reduce the relative humidity of the bedroom by opening the windows and accidentally letting more humidity in despite the relative outside humidity being lower than on the inside.

This is now the third post in the last 24 hours where I stumble into a needlessly long thread because this user is completely obtuse and can’t handle being wrong or a different opinion.

Mit der Übernahme von VPNSecure habe man die Technologie, die Domain und die Kundendatenbank übernommen, aber nicht die bestehenden Verpflichtungen.

Ja, also dann wurde ja garantiert ALLEN bestehenden Kunden gekündigt und nicht nur den unbequemen nehme ich an? Und alle Kunden mussten daraufhin neue Abos abschließen? Es wurden ja immerhin keine bestehenden Verpflichtungen übernommen. Oder? :)

It’s great that these devices finally exist. For the longest time your only option for handheld gaming was Nintendo, or maybe Sony for a short period of time, so I always went with Nintendo as a companion device to my PC.

When the Switch launched, I started wishing for a PC with that form factor, unrealistic as that was at the time. At some point in time I even got hardware-banned from anything online because I dared to install some things on it in order to transfer my save files between PC and Switch. Even lost the ability to download a game I had already bought but not yet installed.

Thankfully, around that time the Steam Deck was announced, and the only time I booted the Switch afterwards was to dump all my games and saves.

Also two occurances of “Plenken”, which is the german term for useless spaces before punctuation and a crime mostly committed by old people.

At the very least their AI Integration Philosophy has a good and nuanced view on the topic. So as long as they actually stick to that those ideas when integrating features it should be fine.

Something I’ve also noticed is that not only the DRM-Free version bought through Humble also got the updated, but they’ve also added Steam keys as well which is neat.

Although I now wonder if I the update also fixes the issue of not being able to start the native Linux version (AppImage). Though to be honest, I’ve never looked too much into what was causing it as the Windows version worked just fine through Bottles.

Although, at least with DRM-free games you’re given all the tools to preserve the game yourself if you want to.
