We live in a society.

Her mouth is a ‘play’ icon. That is all.

When it comes to playing Hades, Balatro or Brotato, I have had zero issues with the deck. It is literally a console experience there. Verified (green) games will just work and are indictive of a console experience. Playable games (yellow) dont represent a console experience. Small text, having to bring up a keyboard manually, launchers… these things arent something you’d see on a console. Unverified games and emulation require the most tinkering and thats when you really get to experience it as a PC.

In its default state, playing only verified games, only in handheld mode, without external controllers - the deck is a fine machine and offers a console experience. Dock it to a TV, start using more controllers, fiddle with yellow games and that experience is gone. I absolutely appreciate I have the option to do so and not be locked out of it - thats why im a Deck person and not a Switch one.

My point is the deck cant replace a switch and the switch cant replace a deck. They complement each other fine.

Because it’s a console, not a portable PC.

The switch offers a console experience. Everything just works and works well.

The deck offers a console-like experience. The majority of PC games work, some may have issues, some may not be suited to the form factor. You can play console games on it but not out of the box.

I say this as someone who doesn’t own a switch and uses their deck every night. I absolutely see the type of person who would buy a switch and the type of person who would buy a deck. They both have valid points for doing so and I’d never recommend the other device to them.

If a security flaw is discovered and patched, it is a good sign the manufacturer is standing by their product and providing support. AFAIK, tp link does push regular fw updates for their omada gear. I’ve had two in the last month.

In your case, I’d open a support ticket with that issue and see what tp link thinks directly. If you don’t like their reply or are ignored, you will have your answer on whether or not you should switch.

They story should have been how a $200m investment into a live service game failed. An investor who knows jack shit about games reads that and now thinks live service games are a risky invetment strategy.

Buy a yoghurt maker. You add milk, 5% of already existing yoghurt and whole fruit (berries are best). Leave overnight and now you have yoghurt with fruit and no added sugar. The fruits are whole so they have fiber and any natural sugar in them isnt going straight to your blood now.

Your uncle is in it.

I feel like men do have it tough and when men start talking about it, they get shutdown and told to be a man. Boys dont cry afterall. So some men may feel its unfair when women speak up and are heard. So they want to make it about them. In the comic, just as the men are dismissive of woman problems, she is dismissive of mens problems. Instead of attacking an unfair weath class system, we bicker about shupid shit like men vs women. Its not race, gender or sexuality we should be discussing. Its social, weath classes.

They are efficient (cargo vs fuel consumption). They also go through my regular car’s full gas tank in about 30 seconds. Less ships means less fuel burned. If we produce locally, transportation is not needed.

We need to stop shipping things across the world for economic reasons. We need to produce and buy locally. The truth is, the global economy has to crash and rebuild itself if we want an eco friendly future. Worldwide shipping needs to go away. Commercial aviation needs to go away. These are things no one wants to hear but would do the most good. Sacrifice is key. We may need to live modestly for a generation in order for energy production to advance to the point where we no longer have to. Our modern growth is a result too hastly adopting dirty technologies.

If you are into the classic battlefield games at all, maybe try Battle Bit?

Install linux somewhere, ssh to it and set up a web sever and an ftp server. Access it locally and then access it from the internet. This should be your first goal. It will make you comfortable with the command line and linux. You can try a montero node then.

ChatGPT will be able to help with the basic stuff like how to check logs, configs, or what SSH is or how to set it up.

We regularly play the Wee version of Italian plumber and friends kart racing on the deck. Docked to tv, 4 controllers (Xbox one, ps4, stadia, steam). Really a magnificent machine. For the next version i hope they improve upon the docked experience.

Maybe its serous. I wanted to be an ATM… and was… and won a competition with a costume I made myself. Kids are weird and can be very non-conforming to the trends.

We started using more than one device and web accessed mail became the norm. POP3 still exists and you can use mail clients and delete everything off the server. Come to think of it, maybe we can then use syncthing to sync the mail across all other devices? Maybe?

I did some quick math to see how overexagirated prices were for preeschool.

Average pay here is (in EUR gross) 2400 + 200 lunch/transportation cost. So the average worker costs a company ~3000 (so called gross-gross as each company has to contribute taxes per worker).

Given an adult/child ratio of 1 : 8 and a school of 80 kids. The teachers would cost 30k EUR in salaries alone. This comes to 375 EUR per child. Add 80 for food and its 455 eur. No maintenance costs or room for profit here. Lets round it to 500 EUR for that.

If the ratio is 1 : 10. Its 75 EUR cheaper.

As mentioned the average sallary is 2400 gross, this comes down to 1500 net. 500 EUR is one third of 1500 EUR. I obviously didnt use real teacher wages and used the average, didnt account for maintenance workers, heating, accounting or anything else. The prices actually sound reasonable but are a little lower due to subsidies.

Heres the thing, this is what huamns are. A shithead may be a shithead to one but a golden god to another. A truly open forum will reflect that. Moderation effectively splits different views and both can thrive without interaction with one another (echo chambers). I personally dont mind extremist views because it reminds me they exist and I am of sound mind to ignore them. However, I know not everyone is and I know the dangers of letting extremest views go unchallenged. I doubt technology can help us cover both fronts (open forum of ideas without echo chambers). Education can probably do a lot more. We need to be better humans, accepting of others and critical of ideas instead of people.

I once held a shit in for a week. Literally 7 days. I was in the hospital and forbidden from using the toilet and using the portable bag toilet in the room with 6 others was not gonna happen so I held it in. Nurses gave me laxatives because they were concerned but I beat them too.

After finally being allowed on the toilet, I basically filled the bowl to the top and clogged the toilet. Yes, it hurt. I now know why and I’m never doing it again.

1. It’s been overhyped a bit.
2. It’s not getting any better with age.

You should probably just play it when you get a weekend to yourself. It’s not that long and it’s worth playing through.
