I suppose that understates it. They failed to get laws changed in a few red states. Considering how they can't produce vehicles fast enough, I don't know how much that even matters.

Gaming on Linux is pretty legit now. I don't even boot into windows very often. In recent memory, only one AAA game didn't work out of the box for me that required booting into windows.

There are so many public charging options now, just go to your grocery store and charge while getting groceries. My workplace has a few as well.

I had one that went in the oil dipstick slot.

If you don't live where you aren't using a block heater, you don't get cold enough to worry about ev usage. But also, plugging an ev in over night is generally how you'll charge it. Unless you live in an apartment complex that can't do that. So you're not "throwing electricity into the wind"

Good news! I've got information relevant to you. I grew up in a locale that would drop below 0F for most of the winter. It was NORMAL to get an oil heater and plug it into your 110v 15amp outlet outside.

Well with EV's you get that same cable, and plug it in and it accomplishes basically the same goal but for the battery instead of the oil. Even better it trickles "fuel" into your "tank" over night.

Or if you splash out dolla bills, you can get a dryer plug installed (240v 50amp) which fully charges your EV in a couple hours and keeps it nice and warm all night.

Everything else is the same, you put snow tires on it, drive to the slopes, skii all day, drive home....one difference though, its heat is available within seconds unlike my old car which took 10+ minutes in subzero temps to heat up and blow warm air. Heck, my EV has heated wiper fluid. That's pretty cool.

oh... and here's some extra cool parts.... if you do the Airbnb thing somwhere, your "fuel" is included. Just plug it in to their 110v outside outlet. When driving back down the slopes, you know what it does? It CHARGES THE CAR! You get free "fuel", just for driving back down the hill.

In all seriousness, a couple road trips with mine, in both 100+F and below 32F, I found out that all of those things don't matter. Yes winter tires wreck the efficiency, yes cold wrecks the efficiency, but it's still well over 200+ miles. All the extra convenience is so nice, that you really don't want to go back.

One example, I drove the same route to the beach at different times, one in the winter, I got there with 31% battery remaining. The same trip in the summer I had 55% batter remaining. So, like 1/3rd a tank of gas left, or half a tank of gas. Both are FIIIIINE. Know what I didn't do? Go to the gas station. I just plugged it in to the slow ass 110 wall outlet since... I'm at the beach for the weekend, in an airbnb... I don't know how long it took, because it was charged when I was ready to leave. Honestly, how do people not see how convenient this is?

Battery life is pretty widely available for Tesla's at least since they've been around for over a decade now. And like any car, it depends on how the owner drove it and maintained it. Some last forever, some are trash within years.

Didn't Hyundai announce the Ioniq5 N edition? It's more like a 600hp thing though, not a 200hp golf kinda thing. More race car than hot hatch.

Tesla... failed... at? Have you seen how profitable that company is now?

Take a look at Aptera. Specifically for this use case.

Some are easier than others. Especially if you don't mind paying. Protonmail, calendar, drive solve some big ones right away. Maps is tough though, I've tried to find a better solution and haven't been able to so far.

Sometimes people need reminders because they forget how much work they put in.

I have this same issue, but not for a TV. Just a normal Asus monitor. If I use my laptop built-in panel and the gaming monitor, it happens less. If I enable a third monitor, it happens nearly every time I try to log back in.

Sleep/standby is disabled on mine cuz no distro I've found can work properly with it so it's just turning the monitors back on really.

It also happens exiting a game sometimes.

I've found waiting it out doesn't work, I have to fight through it to open display settings and disable one of the external monitors, then hit revert. Then it's back to normal.

Edit adding some info since our hardware is different: Lenovo legion slim Nvidia 4050 ryzen 5 Kubuntu 23.10

I had not heard about this but have looked into a few other solutions over the years. Is the idea here that you manually wind it to a spool? If so, that part would suuuuuck. I have a pallette 3d (broken btw) and made manual spools and it's super tedious.

If you do get it though post back about your experience.

No, you can play co-op or against bots if you'd rather.

Strange that we aren't asking why it's so hard for people to put in the maximum. Seems like that's the better question. What measures could we put in place that make it easier for poverty wages to better set them selves up for retirement?

I had one quite some time ago so my memory is probably not perfect here. it was almost good enough for most things. I feel like there was an issue where it only had 32bit support for some stuff, but this was years ago.

I do remember it had decent support for Ubuntu out of the box.

It had a ton of bios updates when it first came out, so step one is I'd go make sure you've got at least a recent version.

Games that I've played recently on the steam deck:

Stray

Journey

Stardew Valley

Nobody saves the world

Guacamelee 2

Spider man Miles Morales

Road 96

Horizon Zero Dawn

Outer wilds

Raft

Rimworld

Football manager 2023

Uncharted legacy of thieves collection

Voltaire the vegan vampire

What remains of Edith finch

I kind of put the first few at the top because I think they might fit your request.

You can't transfer the desktop App at all. But you can transfer your phone easy enough. Just go to account, scroll down and choose transfer account

This is the answer, it's friendlier to authors trying to get started.
