  • Call the Doctor: As Hollywood Gigs Dry Up, Actors Are Playing Fake Patients in Real Hospitals

    Jump

  • I mean, work is work. And it's doing something important. No shame here.

  • I get along with every coworker but 2 out of 14, manager is somebody who sabotaged me in the past. To even consider working there again is such a stupid idea, isn’t it?

    Jump

  • Seriously, this is the definition of a "work there for 15 minutes until you find literally anything else" bridge job.

  • ICE Goons’ Gunpoint Snatch-and-Grab of U.S. Citizen Thwarted

    Jump

  • In their statement, they vilified the victim by claiming she was fleeing law enforcement.

    Hmmm... I wonder why she did that? Running for her life, perhaps?

    Tip from Portland

    Jump

  • Kind of figured, it has too many in-focus points at varying distance from the "camera." So it still has some uncanny valley in it.

  • Mouse Clicks not registering in desktop mode

    Jump

  • I haven't encountered this, but it's rare that I'm in actual desktop mode. Normally I'm using a flavor of Nested Desktop.

  • Also, fully gas up your car (or make sure you're at the top of your safe charging range if you have an EV). If you need to use your car briefly as a heat island, you'll want to have the ability to do that for as long as possible.

  • If you could erase the existence of 3 people, who would they be?

    Jump

  • If you're doing consideration of past people, give consideration to baby Thomas Midgely Jr.

    He's the dude that effectively invented leaded gasoline AND chlorofluorocarbons. It can be argued that no other single human in history did more widespread damage to the environment than he did.

  • If it were just one 30+ year old cat, it'd be more believable. But the wiki article says that he owned two, and the other one lived into its mid-30s.

    Pretty sure that I have a better odds of quantum tunneling my entire self to the Andromeda galaxy in the next ten minutes than a single person has to own two 30+ year old housecats that were born within a few years of each other.

  • Which countries strongly support my values?

    Jump

  • They said OP post was TLDR, so they didn't see that part 🤣

  • i cant wait to get a steam frame

    Jump

  • Not picking it up myself, but definitely hope that you enjoy it.

    NGL, the whole FEX-compatibility thing that'll let you also play non-VR games on it with a normal controller is kind of neat, though I have no idea of how it will perform vs Steam Deck / Steam Machine / other starter PC.

    If I were in a situation where I didn't have normal displays everywhere, I'd consider it as a traditional AR solution.

  • Lets speculate about the steam controllers price

    Jump

  • That seems a bit high high to me; if they want to move them in significant quantities, I'd think they'd need to try to land in the $80 USD range, give or take a hair.

    They have quite a few other controller options out there that they are competing against, and even though it's awesome, they definitely could potentially price people off of it.

  • Steam Deck LCD production is ending — the budget handheld gaming PC will no longer be available once stock is gone

    Jump

  • Wouldn't surprise me if there's also a "depletion of LCD screen stock and/or 7nm APU stock" ingredient in the Doesn't Make Sense Anymore soup as well.

  • I found a MacBook Pro with a broken display. Any creative uses?

    Jump

  • Hook it up to your living room TV, and make it your entertainment station? With a good set up, you can stream on it, play retro games and emulation, miscellaneous media... I could see it being much more useful than a standard Roku / Fire / et cetera USB stick.

  • Steam Replay is out, share your deck stats

    Jump

  • I have a M & K available, and play docked a fair percentage of the time, but when I'm docked, I still prefer the console controls over M & K for BG3.

    Much more streamlined, the intractable UI is not as busy, and the whole game is much cleaner-looking (95% of what you're looking at is the game world when you have no UI elements calledup... whereas the M&K UI are taking up a chunk of screen real estate all the time).

  • Steam Replay is out, share your deck stats

    Jump

  • I don't have a problem, I can stop gaming any time I want!

    This row of games is 92% of my playtime, there were a bunch of other games from my collection but I only played them briefly here and there.

    100% Deck, it's currently my only PC.

  • NSFW, How much would you pay for an egg vibrator?

    OPENS THREAD

    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

  • [Discussion] Have you experienced drift or other issues with your original Steam Deck thumb sticks? Also, people who have replaced their thumb sticks, how has your experience been?

    Jump

  • No issues yet, but I'm docked and using M&K or external controller probably 85% of the time or so.

    I plan to keep my Deck as my stream-to around the rest of house device far into the future (read: until it disintegrates, the ergonomics and form factor are that good), even after my next upgrade to the Steam Machine or similar option, so I will be Hall-replacing the sticks if / when they start to drift.

  • I use Excel at work, not in a traditional accounting sense, but my company uses it as an interface with one of our systems I frequently work with.

    Rather than tediously search the main Excel sheets that get fed into that system for all of the data fields I have to fill in, I made separate Excel tools that consolidate all of that data, then use macros to put the data into the correct fields on the main sheets for me.

    Occasionally I'll have to add new functionality to that sheet, so I'll ask AI to write the macro code that does what I need it to do.

    Saves me from having to learn obscure VBA programming to perform a function that I do during .0001% of my work time, but that's about the extent of it. For now.

    Of course most of what I do is white collar computer work, so I'm expecting that my current job likely has a two-year-or-less countdown on it before they decide to use AI to replace me.
