Downside: have to do work.

Upside: make money

Downside: not enough money

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

Capacitors replacing batteries like this, similar to nuclear fusion power, is always only X years away.

Because many people are not smart. If they buy a 65w charger and see only 60w being pulled they’ll complain that either the charger or phone is defective and want a refund.

I would like to see it as an option to enable, at the moment though I just have a few cables that measure/display this for me. It’s a useful basic troubleshooting tool with laptops and phones. If you plug them in and dont see any current or only 0.1w, you know there’s a problem with the device getting power.

While shit is a renewable resource, only so much shit can exist at any one time.

Shitpost mods need to walk a fine line of laxitives, costives, gas station sushi, big mac meals, and dilators. Sometimes they get it wrong.

It’s what some people will pickup before going to a house and getting a surprise visit from Chris Hansen.

The easy-way-to-end-up-with-a-police-visit classic:

1. Plan B pill

2. Giant “9” balloon

3. Vodka.

Given you can normally answer headline questions with a “no”, I’m going to guess no.

But what they do have is a stupid amount of existing money, so they can gamble on anything they like the look of, and occasionally get lucky.

One of the most famous examples of them guessing wrong is on ring doorbell cameras.

Honestly might be part of it, by going out of spec on the timestamps it probably let’s them more easily insert different length ads

Process sugar (diabeetus)

If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

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

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

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.

HOW DOES SUCH A SMALL BEING MAKE SO MUCH POOP?!

1. It runs in browsers
2. If you hate your co-workers, then they will also feel your pain.

Oooh the registry is even more fun.

• HKLM, HKCU? These are statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged
• Store it in software, make your own root folder
• Also for 32 bit programs there wow6432node
• There’s also the policies section, but this kind of makes sense to have it split off
• Also make sure to follow the apple methodology of having multiple different key names like Apple, Apple inc., etc

Don’t forget that appdata nowadays has 3 sub folders, local, locallow, and roaming.

Also there’s C:\programdata

Also some programs just store it in the user folder, the documents folder, or games/ my games folder if they are a game.

Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.
