  • For what it's worth, I subscribe to the "use your TV as a screen, plug another device in to deal with content" method. It's not connected to the network.

    So, whatever my TV wants to do, I'm not using it's janky apps that might get slow over time or try to advertise to me - my Nvidia shield (which is on the ropes/way out due to some updates it pushed) CEC wakes the TV and plays content without having any particular insight into my emotional state. But I can replace that relatively easily/cheaply until my screen literally stops working, rather than if some new service isn't supported on it or an old one is deprecated.

    I'm being tempted to replace the shield with a NUC or other device due to the updates I mentioned above - but I can probably replace the launcher more easily.

  • Do you mean the series specific tweaks? I thought the comics were written closer to 2000.

    Just checked, they were originally published 2006-2012.

  • Which book was that, out of interest, if you'd recommend it?

  • Though it's worth noting that, currently, you need to relaunch WhatsApp on a device every few weeks.

    I thought this would be my key to being able to uninstall WhatsApp, but it's not quite.

    Also, people have an annoying habit of calling me via WhatsApp, which currently has no implementation in Beeper. This results in a hasty launch of WhatsApp, which then has to catch up with all the messages sent since the last launch, and I'll inevitably miss the call.

  • Wondered if you typo'd the 678 until I read the article - damn! That's a heck of a range!

  • Just as I was saying to myself "I'm pretty happy with the Garmin I have, I don't need a new Pebble," here come Pebble's marketing department with a reason!

    ... What do you mean this is an announcement from Garmin?

  • Feels like anyone that confused would have a really hard time buying Steam games in the first place...

  • I tried a pair of the Xreal Ones recently. They were pretty decent, though I was a little disappointed by the limited FOV (relative to real life screens, as I gather they're pretty good for this style of display) the screen pinning was very good, and I really liked the "ultrawide" support (other than the aforementioned fov).

    I'm thinking about buying a pair before I have a bunch of long flights later in the year.

  • And they just got partially acquired by HP.

    Real "got money, I'm out" energy, there.

  • Can you imagine having to explain that, though?

  • It's very commonly used in, e.g., electronics.

  • Though I agree, I think my issue previously was that they were specifically blocking it on non whitelisted platforms. I'll see if I can find the thread.

  • I mean, based on the last time I talked to Nvidia support about how why the app didn't support various platforms, it just means they will now support that specific distro. You're still going to be SOL if you have questions or issues on any other.

  • Was just thinking the same 😏😅😂

  • Which part of the industry are you looking, if you don't mind revealing?

  • Okay, to reverse the question then - have you ever seen anything that supports there being something contractual to say thar non--Steam copies can't be sold at lower prices? Like, the terms you mention above? I've read the public docs, and can find nothing.

    I can think of multiple times when, e.g. Ubisoft games, Rockstar games, have been sold on EGS or their own launcher for far cheaper than the version on Steam - so we're both supported by anecdata, here.

  • I think they mean the voters you mention may well be different people to the people talking to the news or whatever about how they're welcomed, beloved, etc.

    One loud voice isn't representation of the entire district, etc.

  • I feel so grumpy for not liking this, but 🤦

  • Honestly, can't remember the last time I queued. That said, maybe it's a regional problem.
