But what if they smack it so it spins around and hits me like in a cartoon? Not sure I can take that risk.

But they let me see who is at the door without coming up from the basement.

Are you purely having trouble with this old Xbox controllers? I’ve got 3 controllers on my deck, 2 8bitdos via dongles and one Xbox via Bluetooth. They all work fine, though one of the 8bitdos required an update first.

If by disparity you mean sometimes Windows is better and sometimes Linux is better. I have one of those GPUs. Give it a try before you slam it. Valve has thrown so much money into Proton that support is amazing compared to when I tried a decade ago.

What’s the better option though? I assumed a native service was superior since I found arch specific versions.

Google does it so much I’ve had trouble finding favorite places because they’d rather show an ad that overlaps it.

Yeah that would be preferred but the NTFS drive is 16TB of backups and media.

Swapped to CachyOS

Pros:

• Super easy OS install
• Good tool for installing steam
• Most games play fine but knew this already from my steam deck

Cons:

• Struggled to find how to setup services like Jellfin, SABnzbd, etc. Not as simple as just installing them on windows, but not bad once I figured out how services work.
• Heavily modded games like Total War Warhammer 3 were a pain since the modding tools are designed for Windows. Got them working, but stability was worse.
• No Virtual Desktop for my Quest 3. I’ve heard I can get VR working on it, but only for games.
• Getting write access on my existing NTFS drive was a pain. Read access worked, by I had to change ownership from root on all files to allow changes.

It already has ads. Those businesses it highlights for no reason at all when you’re scrolling around.

It’s fine. Not sure where you heard it’s terrible.

Speaking for the US, major universities may be there for research, but they are a small portion of the mass of schools across the country.

People have mostly been getting degrees to get a good job since at least shortly after WW2. It’s silly to pretend people are going massively in debt without the expectation of a return on that investment.

Nothing against people learning for the joy of learning, but I absolutely hold schools accountable for not making job prospects clear when most of the students are both young and ignorant of the world.

Did you see another video about this? The one linked only showed the walls and still showed them doing interior framing. Nothing about windows, electrical, plumbing, insulation, etc.

What they showed could speed up construction but there are tons of other steps involved.

I do wonder how sturdy it is since it doesn’t look like rebar or anything else is added.

Since when is a 300 person company a startup? I feel like you lose any claim to that long before you hit 100.

Ultimate 2. It’s got a gyroscope and back paddles.

I figure if you’re the type to use it for sensitive info, you’re also the type to put a password on it.

Windows also doesn’t require a password on account so how’s that any better than steam deck?

Steam deck as a docked computer is seriously underrated. I doubt I’ll ever bother with a laptop again. I still use it portable most of the time, but the dock is awesome when I want a big screen, local multiplayer or keyboard and mouse games.

This was all via chat so much faster than the painful voice prompts. I agree those are terrible.

The kind of AI I mentioned isn’t a massive resource sink. I can run that sort of thing locally on my own computer. They don’t need supercomputers for level 1 material.

Nah, AI chatbots are at least useful for the basic repetitive things. Your modem isn’t online, is it plugged in? Want me to refresh it in the system? Comcast adding that saved me half an hour a month on the phone.

I fully believe they’re at least as good as level 1 support because those guys are checking to see if you’re the type to sniff stickers on the bottom of the pool.

What’s wrong with Safari on iOS? I prefer Firefox on my computer but on my phone all I want is better adblocking.
