He still doesn’t understand who pays tariffs, does he?

It’s a PC, essentially, so the hardware is always evolving, they could upgrade whenever they choose to. The advantage of any console, the Steam Deck included, is it offers a very consistent set of specs the developers can target for years. If Valve iterates too quickly, then two problems arise: One, there’s one performance goal for devs interested in making a portable game to work towards, there’s many. In addition, the Steam Deck Verified program gets a lot harder to maintain if there are too many flavors of Deck to manage. I think Valve is planing on a lifecycle similar to the major consoles.

The upside is it is all PC hardware, and there are other handheld manufacturers out there, some even running SteamOS, so if you want a higher performance rig before Valve’s ready for the SD2, you can certainly find what you’re looking for.

I’ve used the right trackpad as a mouse. I haven’t tried it for an FPS, but it works well for menus, inventory management, or for lower stress mouse games like city builders.

In Valhiem, at least, I’ve configured the left track pad as an 8 position radial menu to quickly activate to any hotbar slot.

He’s still bitter that Obama has a Nobel Peace prize and he doesn’t.

I’m hoping it’s because cruise control needs to go through a lot more strenuous QA than an only-used-while-parked feature like a game, but at this point, who knows.

The reporter kind of dropped the ball when it’s a 99-1 vote and they don’t name the one holdout senator.

Last time the administration said another country didn’t have any cards they destroyed a quarter of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet a few weeks later.

Molly Burke, a blind YouTuber, did a video on it recently.

But Trump clearly said, “Now is the time for peace.” No takesies-backsies, Iran! /s

Won’t stop the red hats from buying it out of loyalty to the Emperor.

Russia doesn’t get to dictate who other sovereign nations choose to associate with.

I’m thinking specifically of People magazine. With paper magazines, the time to print and distribute come into play. If they had waited until after, the article wouldn’t have hit store shelves until late mid February, after it was most relevant.

Seriously, remember Betty White? Articles about her 100th birthday were already written when she died 17 days short of it.

It’s not until the last sentence of the article that they acknowledge what’s most likely the actual cause for the rapid fall off in sales.

Tesla is being squeezed out of the European market, in large part due to most consumers’ dislike for its CEO.

I mean, if you’re an EU trade minister, who looks like the more reliable trading partner right now?

“… and nothing of value was lost.”

If the Tesla board of directors was being responsible to shareholders, they’d have recognized the damage the public perception of Elon is doing to the company and either have him rein it in or outright remove him. However, Elon’s gotten a number of his cronies onto the board, so I don’t think it’s happening unless the shareholders vote out the current board.

Vermont imports a quarter of its electricity from HydroQuebec. We’ve made it very clear this past weekend what we think of the administration. All the same, I completely understand.

Probably one of the least flashy accessories, but I bought a 10 foot long USB-C cable that lets me sit anywhere on the sofa and play without battery anxiety.

Everyone assumes Canada is super liberal country just because of universal healthcare. They forget that Alberta is basically snowy Texas, and the other prairie provinces have more in common with the Midwest than New York.
