1xx - We’re still working on it

When it fails, it at least points you to the site where everyone asks for help.

He still doesn’t understand who pays tariffs, does he?

20 years on (yes, 20), that opening theme still gets me hyped up. I was really expecting the Battlestar to jump away from the missile in the last shot.

It’s a PC, essentially, so the hardware is always evolving, they could upgrade whenever they choose to. The advantage of any console, the Steam Deck included, is it offers a very consistent set of specs the developers can target for years. If Valve iterates too quickly, then two problems arise: One, there’s one performance goal for devs interested in making a portable game to work towards, there’s many. In addition, the Steam Deck Verified program gets a lot harder to maintain if there are too many flavors of Deck to manage. I think Valve is planing on a lifecycle similar to the major consoles.

The upside is it is all PC hardware, and there are other handheld manufacturers out there, some even running SteamOS, so if you want a higher performance rig before Valve’s ready for the SD2, you can certainly find what you’re looking for.

I’ve used the right trackpad as a mouse. I haven’t tried it for an FPS, but it works well for menus, inventory management, or for lower stress mouse games like city builders.

In Valhiem, at least, I’ve configured the left track pad as an 8 position radial menu to quickly activate to any hotbar slot.

“Can I get a sundae?”

“Sorry, the VM is broken.”

“live” didn’t make it onto the list, I see.

The first three Macs had this jack in the front for the keyboard and a PC-like serial port in the back for the mouse. With the Mac SE and II, the switched to ADB, which looked like a PS/2 port, but you could daisy chain your mouse, keyboard, and other inputs like tablets or joysticks all into one jack in the back of the computer.

In my day, the RJ-11 jack was for connecting the keyboard, not the phone line.

Early PC only had 5 card slots, and the only jack on the motherboard was the keyboard. One slot is going to be used by a video card, one’s probably being used by a hard drive controller, one’s probably used by a parallel + serial card. Soundcards also included controller ports to try to save a slot.

When “What idiot wrote this?” is replaced by “I should call my mom.”

He’s still bitter that Obama has a Nobel Peace prize and he doesn’t.

The big railroads are laser focused on short term profits these days, to the detriment of long-term investment and public safety. A fix would probably require updating or replacing the Head of Train transceiver on every locomotive, and that’s not good for quarterly dividends.

If there was no cursor, where was the code he was typing being entered?

I think the Switch would be the better example, where up, down, left, and right are four distinct buttons, to be used like ABXY when playing in single Joycon multiplayer mode.

Last time the administration said another country didn’t have any cards they destroyed a quarter of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet a few weeks later.

Molly Burke, a blind YouTuber, did a video on it recently.

But Trump clearly said, “Now is the time for peace.” No takesies-backsies, Iran! /s

Russia doesn’t get to dictate who other sovereign nations choose to associate with.
