Gee the Steamdeck lets people play nearly every game they or their parents played including their 20 year old Steam library. Nintendo could make a handheld console to do the same thing, but they wont. Good luck. When the Switch came out it was something unique, but the rest of the world makes handheld consoles with far more to offer. I think they should take note of how Sony has leveraged Steam and start releasing games on other platforms. Arguably Nintendo’s greatest strength is their software and it’s their hardware that is its weakness more than ever.

Ni-MH production for EVs was effectively shutdown by Texaco and later Chevron through patent acquisitions.

The modding is the true game

I guess if you don’t mind it becoming e-waste in a few years like the Q1 is near to being. You are practically at the mercy of Meta deciding what you can do with the device. There are some projects like ALVR to mitigate this somewhat, but these platforms are being locked down in more sophisticated ways with each generation.

AMD is far ahead in the performance/watt here. Intel seems to have lots of trouble providing even stable drivers for their XE/Arc graphics on Linux. Maybe their Battlemage generation will have better support but it’s not something I’d count on. So many of these handhelds try to shoehorn Windows into this form factor but MS business practices are anti-user at any opportunity to extract personal data or money.

Minetest engine and its games are great fun. It’s super easy to mod with Lua scripts and there is awesome documentation. ContentDB has an abundant selection of games and mods for anyone to customize their play.

Heh that is annoying, then I learned about alt-rmb. They really do need a way to allow for larger grab areas easily, if not already possible.

I found this solution to border theme for increased grab area and will try it as well:

I feel the same, though having more options for lightweight DEs is better. I came from gnome 2 after Ubuntu switched to Unity DE back in the day. Xubuntu ran nice on all of my kids low power devices and it became my desktop as well ever since. It’s just as happy on my work laptop as well as Ryzen thread ripper with 3 rtx4000s and 3 magewell hdmi capture cards we use for visualization at work too. It really feels like a solid DE with less fuss than most.

Passengers being treated for scurvy, news at 11

Me boarding a 777 on Friday after a very long week of business travel, a true story:

Pilot: “Looks like we’ll get to San Jose 30 minutes ahead of schedule”

10 minutes later…

Pilot: “Just waiting for some paperwork before we can leave the terminal”

30 minutes later…

Pilot: “Sorry we can’t leave until the maintenance records are updated”.

30 minutes later…

Pilot: “We’re still waiting for sign-off”

5 minutes later…

Pilot: “By law, we have to allow passengers off the plane as it’s been over an hour at the terminal”

I de-board looking for any other flight, but it turns out there are no seats on any other plane in this airport…

Terminal attendant: “They have the paperwork now you can re-board if you wish”

What would you do?

Me: YOLO

Not unlike the species of it’s creators, go figure.

Immerse us in dlc and micropayments no doubt. We pay for PSN to have multi-player and they kill servers beloved by many. RIP LBP series

I guess this means that not having to rely on dkms for hardware means being able to run the latest kernels without the hardware being disabled.

The EX30 is currently manufactured at parent company Geely’s facility in Zhangjiakou, China

I found PROTON_LOG %command% insightful.

Ass games?

We have a fusion reactor in the middle of our solar system solving the spicy half of the problem already. If we are having a solar heat capture problem, how is a new source of virtually unlimited power (and heat) here going to work? How is superconductivity coming along to help mitigate this?

The only one that matters right now is the one that gets put on next.
