  • Steam in general is having a hard time for me right now

  • I agree wholeheartedly. I walked into a home hardware trying to get a replacement for a botd I'd stripped. The guy took one look at it and said "looks like an M5" and it was! Got me a new one and I was on my way. This was after I had just gone to Canadian Tire for the same thing. The "hardware guy" there was pretty much trying to find a match exclusively by vibe and colour matching

  • Oh yeah I've already dual booted. Its mostly musical instrument related stuff that's stopping the full switch over. Like the programs to edit presets on my guitar pedal and synth are not huge fans of Linux. I would say for most people though, you could probably switch them to Linux and they wouldn't even notice

  • I don't know if this is what they meant, but what's stopping me from fully switching is that I have a bunch of peripheral devices with windows-only drivers

  • The guy who made Balatro is Canadian

  • That's casualism. Capitalism is the practice of eating the flesh of your own kind

  • Trump's tariffs make Canadian stuff more expensive for Americans, so they'll tend to buy less Canadian stuff. Without retaliatory tariffs, Americans only buy American stuff, and Canadians continue to buy American stuff, so nobody is buying Canadian stuff. This hurts Canada because nobody is buying their stuff. With retaliatory tariffs, US stuff becomes more expensive in Canada, so it encourages Canadians to stop buying American and spend their money in Canada.

  • Option 3: You need 2 hands to hold this thing up so you modelled and printed a replica of your hand and arm to hold it and took the picture with your real hand

  • They definitely do not need the width of a car lane. The basket is usually the width of the handlebars so they fit in regular bike lanes just fine. And they'll often turn a car lane into two bike lanes

  • Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had

  • Philips Hue have the ability to work without internet and it seems like a lot of people like them, though they are kind of expensive. I've used Sengled bulbs before and they were fine, not sure how well they work without internet. But I think for you the problem isn't the bulbs reliance on the internet, they just seem very forgetful. For both Hue and Sengled, when the power comes back on after being out, they just start working again on their own after about a minute. No need to reset anything.

    The main non-techy issue even for locally controllable smart things is that the big voice assistants are all entirely internet dependent. So even though Hue bulbs are technically controllable locally if your internet is out, Alexa and Google Home both won't be able to do anything with them.

  • Sounds to me like there's a serial serial killer killer on the loose!!

  • Beeper is great

  • I've been fully on board with base 12 for years. Didn't know about RPN until this post. I'm convinced.

  • How can you improve perfection?
