  • The 2025 Steam Awards Winners

    Jump

  • I know, my point is just that less people notice that they can also nominate than that they can vote on the finalists, because the latter is promoted more.

  • Probably yes. But the final voting is advertised on the store front page and usually during the winter sale, sometimes with things like getting cards or such stuff for voting, in addition to the pop-up. At least for me it seems more prominent in the interface than the nominations

  • Nomination is less prominently advertised in Steam compared to the voting itself, but you can nominate any game for an award via its store page. If I hear of it before it is over, it's usually because the devs of some game I'm playing are asking for nominations, I don't remember it being advertised on the store frontpage.

  • If your bulbs use Bluetooth and your phone is an android, that's because on Android you need location permission to scan for Bluetooth devices (as known Bluetooth beacons in range could give away your location). It's still bad, because you can't know if the app uses that permission for anything else.

  • I am interested in that battery research though, because charge-cycle wise, only lithium iron phosphate subsection of EV battery chemistry would last even near that long. Lithium ion only lasts 500 cycles before degrading to 70% and LiPo is only 1000. My ID4 could do 420 km on a charge, assuming a LiPo composition, that is 420k kilometers, which is a quarter of what you say

    Battery cells degrade very different depending on how they are used. The cycles you mention are the typical values for charging up to 100% and then emptying them completely. This isn't how EVs are usually driven. Cells that are only charged to about 80% most of the time live longer. And with large arrays of cells as in an EV battery, the charging electronics also don't just charge and discharge all cells evenly but can optimize for lifetime. Many EVs also don't charge all cells to full when the car says it's at 100% to increase the lifetime (that's why you sometimes see a "net capacity" mentioned, it's the amount of energy the battery management actually allows compared to what the cells could do).

    There are also studies that show that typical usage patterns with small charges all the time (from recuperating) and having long rest times (when the car is parked somewhere) results in a much longer lifetime than simulations with constant use had given, e.g. here: https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2024/12/existing-ev-batteries-may-last-up-to-40-longer-than-expected

    Battery chemistry is of course also something there is new developments in, for example CATL is starting production of sodium ion batteries, but AFAIK these are more about cost per capacity than lifetime.

  • I used fzf before atuin, and it works pretty similar, but atuin has a few additional features, as it tracks more information than the normal shell history. For example, you can also search only for commands that you executed in the current directory (great for stuff that is project specific). Or, if you use the history syncing feature, you can toggle search for commands you executed on either any or only the current machine.

  • Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.

    Jump

  • You also need a powered adapter for HDMI 2.1 in this case. The passive adapters work, because the DP output on the computer usually supports switching to HDMI output. But for that to work, the driver must support it, so it has the same problem as the HDMI port (which supports 2.1 on a hardware level, but not with AMDs open source drivers)

  • If you want 120Hz, only active adapters will work, which cost around 40$. If you don't, the included HDMI 2.0 will be enough

    Jump

  • If you don't need 120Hz, you don't need HDMI 2.1. You can get 4k @ 60Hz with the HDMI 2.0 that the Steam Machine has, so you can use just any TV.

    Jump

  • Passive DP-to-HDMI adapters only work if the device on the Displayport end supports Dual-Mode, i.e. using the Displayport to send an HDMI signal. They often do, but it would require the same driver support for HDMI 2.1. So this would require an active adapter.

  • I remember seeing a documentary about a village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn't reach and the material there taking in water and expanding. So it probably depends a lot on the local geology and also on the depth. I sadly don't remember how deep the one in the documentary was.

    I know a few people that got geothermal heating installed for their homes (in Germany), which goes a lot less deep than something intended for whole cities or districts. The one at my friend's home is 50m deep, and it looks like anything less than 400m is considered "near surface"

  • I don't think it makes sense to compare those efficiencies, as one is for converting heat to electricity, while the other is for converting sunlight. If you use sunlight to heat water and then use that for a steam turbine, the efficiency is similar to a photovoltaic panel. The efficiency numbers are still useful, but only when they refer to the same starting point for the conversion (e.g. only comparing things that turn heat into electricity).

  • Die kaputten Tags waren im Hintergrundbild (Bilder scheinen allgemein in der Archivversion zu fehlen). Aber die ganzen /* ohne Gegenstück passen auch gut :) Der Satz mit den Nervenzusammenbrüchen ist bei der Seite zu Anwendungsentwickler:innen.

  • Die hatten bestimmt die gleiche Werbeagentur beauftragt wie die Rentenversicherungn für ihre "Echte IT" Kampagne, da war der Hintergrund auch voller (kaputter) HTML-Tags, bzw. zufällig im Text platzierter spitzer Klammern, weil schaut nach Code aus.

    Leider gibt's echte-it.de nicht mehr (hatte auch andere Highlights, wie die Beschreibung der Entwicklerstelle mit "nach dem einen oder anderen Nervenzusammenbruch funktioniert's"), aber bei uns fährt die Werbung noch auf einer Straßenbahn rum.

  • The only thing I still use Postman for at work is when running API performance benchmarks, as I wasn't yet motivated enough to write a curl wrapper to do such tests and plot the results. Especially when doing things like ramp up etc. it becomes more than a simple for-loop.

    Can someone recommend an existing command line tool for that?

  • EU Parliament votes to restrict 'steak' and 'burger' labels to meat only

  • Ps, this gave me an idea for possible vegetarian branding: names like "not a burger" seem to still be allowed, so a line of foodstuffs called "not a sausage" etc might be fun.

    That's definitely gonna happen, there's already a plant drink brand named "this is not m*lk" (including the censoring) in Germany, as here a similar ban is already in effect for the word "milk" to exclude soy milk / oat milk / ...
