What's stopping him?
  • No. They're saying there's a procedure for enacting new laws, and creating them outside those procedures accomplishes nothing. It's not a crime. It's also not how laws are created.

  • Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux
  • Windows on a handheld is just bad. It's that simple. A Steam Deck competitor needs a handheld friendly controller focused interface that is at least as good as Valve's. Our just straight up ship with Steam OS and use Valve's.

    SteamOS still has many instances of awkward UX and some frankly broken behavior, especially while trying to use community features, it's just that every other offering has been worse.

  • Who is a character you feel is overhated and despised too much ?
  • Painless? Even accepting that emotional pain doesn't count (which I don't agree with) 50% of every person involved in operating a piece of dangerous machinery just suddenly disappearing absolutely caused widespread injury and death among those left behind.

  • rule
  • Because he has almost completely faded to obscurity. Most people under 30 probably wouldn't recognize him at all.

    Superman not being one of the characters in this image is also kind of baffling. Unless the artist believes that Superman could bear the cross.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • Land usage is also a huge concern with hydro power. Pumped hydro storage means permanently flooding an area to create the reservoir, which carries many above and beyond just the destruction of whatever was there before. The flooded land has vegetation on it, which is now decaying under water. This can release all sorts of unpleasantness, most notably mercury.

  • What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
  • Yeah, there are different bluetooth audio profiles, one for high quality audio intended for media consumption, and one for bi-directional audio intended for telephony (and some others, but these are the relevant ones here). The "gotcha" is that in general, any attempt to consume the mic feed from a bluetooth headset will switch it to the telephony mode, so if you have them paired to a PC and an application is listening to the mic for any purpose you get stuck with much lower quality 64kbps PCM audio.

  • Steam announces game recording beta.
  • I've seen initial reports that at least on Steam Deck it's far less impactful than any other recording solution available so far (decky recorder/obs/whatever). Like you though I'm interested to see a detailed look at how it does on a standard Windows gaming PC though, where you've already got well established low impact solutions like Shadowplay or Relive.

  • Steam announces game recording beta.
  • There are two factors.

    First is simply the convenience of having it all built in to the gaming platform you're using instead of juggling other software. Plus Steam will host content you want to share for you, which neither AMD nor Nvidia does. Also, neither AMD nor Nvidia's offering providers a two hour rolling recording that you can just skim through and pick clips from at your leisure.

    Second is the hope for better reliability. Shadowplay/replay/whatever nvidia is calling it now just stops working at random for a lot of people, myself included, with no warning or indication until you hit the "save replay" button and get a popup telling you that its not running. I also wrestled for a while with it recording the wrong screen when I had two monitors, so I'd just get clips of my second monitor desktop with the audio of the game. There are lots of people hoping that Steam will manage better.

  • Thoughts on terrorism
  • He didn't command, direct, or approve of any of their methods. He only benefited, and protected, with disgust and grief for the values he once held dear.

    So… I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it… Computer, erase that entire personal log.

    Truly disgusted and grief stricken.

  • As it should be, and I agree that those crazy fast 200+ kW chargers are rarely necessary.

    It's kind of a weird reaction to consumer hesitation and people complaining that they don't want to wait for charge times as compared to the time it takes to fill a tank. Making charging as fast as possible to address the complaint (while still being one or two orders of magnitude slower at best), because that's easier than getting people to change their driving habits, or making them realise that they're always going to start the day with a full charge at home.

    Even if all you have is relatively paltry north american 110V at home you need to drive way more than average per day for that not to keep up.

  • restaurant/charging station combo

    The people providing the charging infrastructure here haven't figured out this important point yet. Gas stations are a terrible place to put chargers, no one wants to stop at a gas station for fifteen minutes to an hour at a time. Charging stations need to be in places people will be stopping anyway, or at the very least places that provide something to do while waiting. Restaurants, shopping centres, tourist traps, whatever.

    Here it's exacerbated by the fact that the fastest chargers we have only deliver about 60kW. Not even close to the 200+ some EVs need to get the fast charging times they advertise. But that 60kW would be perfectly fine if I could spend the time in a restaurant instead of standing around at a gas bar in the middle of nowhere.

    Hell, even cheap (or free) "level 2" chargers outside restaurants and shopping malls would be a huge help.

  • Anon reflects on e-sports
  • My Trinitron monitor actually had two of those stabilizing wires. They were very thin, much thinner than even a single scan line, but you could definitely notice them on an all white background.

  • Take 30 seconds to at least glance at the article the other user posted. It's not just myself, there are plenty of very interested physicists who also find the unprovability of the one-way speed of light interesting.

    I'm also not sure what your point about orange is supposed to be. Are you suggesting that there is a particular spectra of light that we cannot test?

    My reason for being interested isn't just that I think it's "cool". I think it's fascinating that a fundamental underpinning of physics has such a gap in its experimental verifiability.
