Bazzite is a gaming-focussed distro that has steam pre-installed as well as controller-friendly launchers for non-steam games.

Most people have 1Gb or less to their ISPs anyway. For those with a faster connection, only a slim minority will ever connect to ethernet.

You can switch accounts pretty easily on the steam deck. It's not as smooth as on the PS5 since it is in a settings menu, and IIRC it does a soft reboot when you do it, but it is functional. I've flipped mine to my sons account and back a few times when we were traveling. Takes about 30s or so assuming you've already provisioned the account onto the device before. It takes a couple of minutes to do the whole Steam Guard song and dance with the authenticator the first time.

It's a fixed configuration that developers can target and test against. It's within the realm of possibility that major publishers and larger indies will start shipping with a profile optimized to run smoothly on it, just like the Steam Deck. Valve will probably add a new "Runs great on Steam Machine" badge to games with confirmed compatibility just like they do with the steam deck.

In addition, Valve will probably debug HDMI CEC integration with all the major TV manufacturers. Something that is not easy or cheap to do. They will have integrated controller support and a UI designed to be navigated with a controller. It's basically a more powerful steam deck without the design and cost tradeoffs you need to make in order for the thing to be a handheld.

These billionaire dipshits think the corpo-fascism surveillance state was the GOOD PART.

but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.

It's hard to find something that isn't a SUV or bus-like minivan if you want a family vehicle that can take more than 2 kids who need boosters or car seats. Fix the CAFE standards so that station wagons are legal and profitable again please!

Yeah, they all need to go to the Hague, but that will never happen...

It's in the name.

Summary of the entire silly discussion:

a) If one favors cats over birds, cats are pets, birds are food.

b) If one favors birds over cats, birds are pets, cats are pests.

Options not included in the discussion, but welcome to make things even livelier:

d) If one favors both birds and cats, both are pets and cats walk with bright red collars and bells so the cats can roam freely and the birds can survive.

e) If one favor neither, all are hunting targets.

f) If one favors dogs, they need come and say something offtopic.

g) If one's a fundamentalist Christian nutcase, all animals are automatons whose existence serves the sole purpose of pleasuring humans, and they won't be in Heaven because they lack souls.

h) If one's a Muslim, cats are clean and you're a sinner.

i) If one's...

Etc. etc. etc.

Good luck putting your life back together if you spend any amount of time in jail waiting for trial after you've lost your job and your housing. Hope you can afford to get your arrest expunged while you are living on the street with no job.

This is a good thing. The more expensive it is, the less spurious bullshit like the stuff in this article there will be. Fewer, more qualified cops = good.

Per the the 1951 Refugee Convention and later 1967 amendment which the US is a signatory to refugees have the rights to:

* not be expelled without due process

* not get punished for irregular entry

* gainful employment

* freedom of movement within the country

* access to the justice system

* be issued travel documents

Remain in Mexico and other restrictions on the entry of refugees and asylum seekers is illegal. Trying to get around and curtail these rights is why there are all these murderous campaigns in UK, Italy, and the US to turn around or sink boats in international waters before they gain land and get access to refugee protections. It's also why the US is working with Panama to make the Darién gap crossing more deadly to detain those that survive. If they never make it to the US, or die in the Arizona high desert because they were forced away from safer crossing spots, then they can't claim asylum.

It's a disgusting practice that is by no means unique to Trump or the US, although he's making things significantly worse.

It's not just white paint. Being highly reflective is only 1/2 the equation. There are certain materials with extremely high IR emmissivity which will actively cool the structure they are applied to. Not only that, but it must be a frequency of IR that the atmosphere is transparent to. Whether such coatings are ready for widespread use is up in the air.

This guy has several videos about trying to homebrew such a coating Making Infrared Cooling Paint From Grocery Store Items (w/Novel CaCO Microsphere Synthesis)

I use their Omada line of SOHO APs, controller, and managed switches. I find that they are quite solid and patches come out pretty regularly. I'd never trust their router though. Everything lives behind an OPNSense router/firewall running on a mini-pc.
