The first game was a fever dream in the best way possible. I’m quite hyped.

Yeees. This section was just amazing. I’ve rarely felt as badass in a game as in the ashtray Labyrinth.

And put sugar in the pot as soon as the first kernel starts to pop!

How brown does a banana have to be to be bad?

You could use Syncthing for local folder syncing between devices. It’s been really reliable for me.

Well, I completely understand your point. I also have rechargable AA batteries laying around, but I see it from this standpoint:

1. The Steam controller includes this magnetic charging puck, which is a good way to make sure it’s always charged.
2. It will mostly be used more or less stationary, sitting down in front of a PC. So even if the need arises to charge it this shouldn’t be a problem in many situations. This is vastly different than with the new VR controllers, because they will be moved around a lot and it’s not really realistic to charge them while using them.
3. Many people still just use disposable batteries. Which is quite frankly just not good. So my best guess is that this connected with point two may be a leading factor for why they did it this way. I think a hybrid option (puck-rechargable battery pack or two AA’s) would have been awesome though.
4. Valve’s repair policy was exceptional with the steam deck so I have reasons to believe that the battery for the steam controller will be available for a very reasonable cost. A very interesting question will be for how long.

All in all I understand your point, but it’s not a huge issue for me personally.

My SO’s wifi is called “Connection not possible”

I either buy mp3 or download from youtube.

The siblings could run
tailscale ping nodeIP/nodeName
This not only shows if they are connected via a DERP (relay) but also retries to connect them directly a few times.
If that doesn’t work out it can sadly be quite hard figuring out why a DERP is used instead of a direct connection.

The diagram of the new (imho way better) Version is quite a bit more complex, but you should get the point.

How do you interact with the UI? Well, every flashlight has a button. This is your input. And you have the LEDs which you can use as an output/feedback. Yeah, it’s wild.

Ungodly ammounts of ultra high power flashlights with open source, customizable UI

First time I saw this, I needed a hot minute to understand what it’s supposed to mean.

There is a project that can run some backgrounds, but is very experimental and IMHO not suited for running constantly as a desktop background. WPE is way too deep in specific windows features to be able to run on linux smoothly.

Maybe even add randomness and make it only happen 10 or 20% of the time.

Oooh, that’s evil. You don’t even need administrator privileges for that IIRC.

Celsius of course. Only babies shower in 140 Fahrenheit!

Dance with the lights out in my ass

Okay, I see that this comparison wasn’t really good. Thinking more about it it reads like a straw man argument and i’m sorry for that.
It indeed woudn’t offer a commercial benefit, but I do really think that it would offer a benefit humanity. Because it would lessen the power that Mocrosoft has over the computer market. If the market share is high enough it would even spark innovation because Microsoft and co would be forced to innovate to keep their market share.
I know many people who would like to have an alternative to Windows, without the hurdles Linux still comes with. And I would like to be able to tell them that there is one but sadly I can’t.

Well, first of all that’s just elitist/gatekeeping thinking and i find it quite frustrating. If you think about it, it’s kind of like the “we don’t want immigrants, they cause much work, cost us much and don’t contribute”. A higher market share always comes with benefits and with drawbacks. There will always be more people who contribute if the market share is higher. The same with hardware compatibility. Having widely adopted open source software will always benefit the community.
