Lefties could just indent half the pages by the same amount.

If you write on front and back pages, it’s equally annoying to righties and lefties.

So wait, is the free market bad or good? Is the argument to nationalize the airplanes too? Or is it to nationalize the rails but not the train companies and let trains compete like planes?

I mean…. In the USA you’re entitled to a vigorous defense.

Vilifying the lawyer isn’t going to do any good. He’s doing what he’s supposed to be doing.

This kid, if he did it, is a shitbird. The lawyer is doing what they’re supposed to do.

M.2 is just the connector form factor. Can be NVMe or SATA still.

I get it, but see Kyle rittenhouse, downvote Kyle rittenhouse.

This is RCA (the left / right audio) and composite video.

This meme would have been better with component video and TOSLINK or S-Video and toslink.

What are the contents?

Yes, but also fuck spez.

Depends how they view their business evolving. Ask Apple if you can build a device that runs iOS. They have an App Store and make lots of money from it.

If they want to be in the hardware business, not just building proof of concept/proof of market devices, they very much may not want to share it with other manufacturing of competing devices.

If they want to be in the hardware business and SteamOS is the best thing out there, they very much may not want to make it easy for other people to run.

You drill a small hole and run some hoses outside from each room.

It’s definitely more expensive than a window air conditioner, but a lot quieter and more efficient, and provides heat.

Allegedly MSFT took notice and is working on it…. But there are some good 3P apps that make it usable to launch games. Installing them is still a chore without a Bluetooth keyboard.

Presuming valve wants to do this of course.

It probably wouldn’t run because the air its ingesting to cool is already cold, but if you bypassed the thermostat, sure.

Because they’re not designed to work that way I’m sure their efficiency would be low/non existent in actually cold temps.

Early heat pumps could only work to like 30F or so. New ones are much, much better.

First off, as the other poster replied, that isn’t true about modern heat pumps. They continue to work below freezing, and many support an “eheat” resistive heating mode, obviously only good if you still have electricity, but that’s true of all heat pumps. Generators or solar+batteries become much more important.

But the beauty of heat pumps is that you don’t need to install ductwork. Look at mini splits. You can do zoned or single room installs. No ductwork required. One of the huge upsides of mini splits are you do get “instant” zoning. You can stop heating and cooling unused rooms to a human comfortable temperature.

You can also get systems that retrofit into existing forced air ductwork.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone made or will make a heat pump water heater for hydronic radiators.

You can also run the element that is typically outdoors inside if you have enough space in a basement, for example, which stay a pretty consistent temperature all year long.

I’ve never seen anyone using their furnace to run hot water. Radiator water loops are closed loops and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that water to be used for anything you’d use hot water for.

I think it’s mostly a factor of ACs weren’t historically efficient. They were all on or all off. In the more recent designs that are ultra efficient they use variable speed compressors.

They were also historically less reliable than a furnace and certainly more difficult and complicated to service.

I deleted my alt with 45k comment karma that was I think 14 years, my oldest account is a version of my actual name that I don’t want someone taking that is 16 years old, that I didn’t delete, but I did nuke all my comments.

I think this places too much blame on mods. Reddit is a corporation and they were going to do what they’re going to do.

Power users cared about 3p apps, the average redditor probably didn’t even know they existed.

It was never going to “succeed” if success was that Reddit backtracked from their position. It would have made spez look too weak.

I think it did cost them a lot more than they suggested in the short term, and I think it’ll cost them more in the long run too.

Lemmy is going to become a real competitor. And it probably never would have previously.

Seems more like everyone else found out that you’re pretty rude.
