Well Ganesha is Vighneshvara, Lord of Obstacles, and is praised for both removing obstacles and placing them in the path of fuckers who need checked.

And as far as I can remember, Jesus only moved that one big rock that one time. And no one even saw him do it, that could’ve just also been Ganesha.

Would wearing one of those grounded ESD leashes prevent this? It’s kinda silly, but if it works I’ll absolutely put one of those lil fuckers at my desk.

I feel bad for anyone with no linux experience who bought a steam deck. There’s a good amount of weirdness with the UI sometimes, and modifying desktop mode controls can lead to it ignoring inputs until steam launches on occasion.

I know these issues stem from this being a brand new device with a brand new form factor, using whacky proprietary track pads and shit. But someone who’s only used windows might attribute them to linux and be left with a bad taste.

It’s good that the Ally exists so we can have a windows handheld to compare against.

Oh for sure! The issue is that one of those meanings can also imply sentience, and news outlets love doing that shit. I talk to people every day who fully believe that “AI” text transformers are actually parsing human language and responding with novel and reasoned information.

finally a use for the .fail TLD

How in the fuck is bluetooth even a competing standard? If it’s “good enough” than so is SD video and VHS tapes.

Bluetooth turns twenty-six this year, maybe we’ll be closer to good integration once it hits it’s thirties.

Hang on, is THAT why call quality is abysmal with practically every bluetooth device?

Idk what exactly causes this, but I definitely have headphones that never do that. I reckon it’s only on my pricier pairs, so maybe it’s a cable insulation thing?

Thank you for the write up!

Well shit, B12 supplements are cheap enough. Are there any other reasons it’s a bad idea?

I reckon you could kill it with a pin in a casual enough way, maybe make it look like you’re just putting a hand there to lean? Also you have like 4 other people come throughout the day and get gas at that same pump, and they do a similar casual hand movement around the speaker.

You’d be safe as houses, probably!

Left side, second from the bottom iirc

Yep. Just shell stations around here (so far at least)

They’re super loud and in my experience usually political, think local office smear ads and oil lobbyist propaganda.

If the gas pumps have those unlabeled buttons around a screen, try pressing all of em. The pumps around here (nebraska) will mute the audio when you press one of the buttons, it just isn’t labeled. I’ve taken to writing “mute” on the magic-button with a sharpie whenever I pump my gas.

Some ferangi conned him into playtesting and debugging a new holonovel under the guise of it being a prototype training course for cadets. The whole series was the b-plot of a TNG episode about the ethics of clone voting or something.

I want you to know that I didn’t like inline image replies until just now, you’ve changed my mind

No it’s a cgi aged-down Wil Wheaton, and Riker barges in to tell him he’s late for his shift at navigation or whatever.

I love the track pads. They make navigating desktop mode actually bearable. With some qol tweaks to the mapping, I find them downright enjoyable to use.

Without them the deck wouldn’t feel nearly as standalone-capable. Hardly any application in games that don’t need a cursor though, I’ll give you that for sure.

The email he got from support suggested hosting the mp3 on a third party site like youtube or soundcloud, which is a good idea I reckon. Youtube would work for videos, and I guess imgur or imgbb for images?

Not ideal, but all free!

Oh jesus, THAT’S why there’s a million hoops to jump through before they even give you access to LOOK at options trading now. I always just figured someone lost a bunch of money and sued, that’s so grim.
