Xcom: 99% chance to hit

Also Xcom: miss.

Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any “questionably acquired” content.

Surprised they didn’t lean into it. “Just lost your job? More time to play games!”

X is deprecated, you should have moved into systemd-Y

You should change to Arch, I don’t use X but Arch is better.

There’s a constant race between inventors and the universe. Inventors are trying to create idiot proof devices, and the universe is creating better idiots.

The universe is winning.

There’s always a trade off when it comes to any device.

Fast or slow, lots of features or basic, cheap or expensive, thin/stylish or ruggedized, water or other ingress resistant standards. All of these have to be weighted against each other.

Also what constitutes a drop? 4 feet, 40 feet, 400? (sorry if I turned on anyone with a foot fetish)

It is absolutely possible to create a mobile phone with most features people want that survives multiple 4 foot high drops, but it will be encased in a few cm of rubber, the touch screen will be under a noticeable screen protector, and reception might suffer a bit, and it won’t have wireless charging unless you’re ok if that stops working after a unlucky drop. It will also probably be expensive, even more so if you then want to use more premium materials in order to try and slim it down some.

It was one of the best value for money experiences I’ve ever had. Only beat out by The left 4 dead series based on hours played.

Wonder if it’s piloted using a steamdeck or controller?

It does not whip the llamas ass.

I didn’t think that receiving an organ from a police officer would be so controversial. /s

In all seriousness, the person was already suffering from several health issues that could have easily played a large part in their passing.

People with underlying health issues more likely to run into health problems. Amazing journalism.

Similar to alcohol or drugs, legalisation can make things safer. As a bonus it can also open a new revenue stream for government through taxes.

Look at the legalisation of weed in some American states. Instead of a shady dealer you could go into a store. Instead of whatever they had at the time, you have known quality goods. Yes, there’s a lot more nuance to it than that, but the general idea is that it takes away randomness/unknowns, and as a bonus: organised crime that would otherwise have been profiting from the industry lose out.*

For gambling the same kind of logic applies. People are going to be gambling anyway, so add in some legal frameworks that can make sure that things are more of a known value, and hopefully less likely to cause harm. Perfect example: you get stiffed on a win? If it’s an off the books thing and you complain you’ll probably end up with broken legs. If it’s a legalised thing you could go to court or a regulatory body.

Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.

Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.

As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.

Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.

Judge: When she yelled out please don’t shoot, why did you shoot?

Officer: What I thought she said was “Please, shoot! He has an AK hidden underneath his shorts! Also they identify as a black FTM gay atheist!”

Judge: Understandable, I think I can hear that as well upon reviewing the footage again, case dismissed!

I feel for the family, mental health issues are not an easy thing to handle even when being treated. My grandmother had issues later in life including dementia and a few times we had to make sure to keep sharp objects out of the picture. It’s not easy. I hope that this helps improve things for others down the line in some way, improved police training, improved awareness, something.

Some issues are

1. As mentioned, they will not run on the actual hardware
2. Pressed CD’s normally last longer than a burned one.
3. It’s far too easy for the creator to simply create a few extra to make a little more $, where as creating pressed media take a bit more effort/money as you need to do it in bulk to be cheaper than just ordering blank CDs on Amazon.
4. It’s far less “premium”, which is normally what limited run items are for.

It’s a good game, and despite complaints people have had regarding balance issues, Arrowhead do seem to be doing things well (if slowly).

The only complaint I have after the recent balance changes is that the number of heavies seems at odds with the nerfs. Quasar was too strong, but the extra 5 seconds added to the cooldown means it has about 20-25 seconds between each shot. That’s near EAT calldown levels of slow

Lawyer: that’s your son

Turnip: hmmmm yes, I do own the sun, I have the best sun, it’s so bright and hot, at least one hundred hot. The best sun, if they find me guilty I’ll take the sun away.

Microsoft will release a GPO or MEM setting that works 20 percent of the time to turn off the constant AI data mining, only available to enterprise SKUs.

Touchscreens can be in a car for some functions.

But for anything the driver is expected to interact with on the road: there needs to be a physical interactive method with tactile feedback (button, lever, knob) so the driver does not need to take much, if any, attention away from the road.

As for the other fun things like the shocking quality control we’ve seen on some Tesla’s, that’s just Elons Musk

It’s him unfortunately. He started feeling unwell 3 weeks ago, had a heart attack like event last week, turns out undetected terminal liver cancer, too unwell for any treatment. It sucks, but every day he has left is a gift.
