I really doubt anything so profound crossed his desk thst you could in any way say that it was responsible for his ideas. He might have been influenced slightly by things he saw but he just as easily could have had those ideas triggered by some other stimulus. His brain just worked differently, it allowed him to see the patterns and numerical relationships that no one else could. Give me one example of some technology from the early 1900s that was so paradigm shifting that it could have influenced relativity? I guarantee almost every patent he saw was trash.

This study was funded by tobacco companies, only involved cheap disposable vapes that were made in china, and didn’t find heavy metals in all samples. It didn’t include any of the long term use vapes or coils that you fill with your own juice. No study thats been done on those have ever found any negative health effects.

You could definitely pare down steamOS alot for a more user friendly but less powerful environment. Get rid of all the steam specific shit like the storefront and friends list and all the bells and whistles and just have a launcher that displays game art and title. That would still be leagues better than having a single game on each flash card.

Seems like a silly idea… its not like an nvme drive takes up a ton of space so eveb a small form factor pc could have a massive drive and an interface for multiple games. Ehats the point of loading them onto sd cards if you have to already download or acquire them elsewhere? Just make a good interface that lets you scroll through a list of games. My steamdeck already does that, and lets me boot right back into a game where i left off, but doesnt make me constantly change the SD card to play a different game.

As someone who was in a similar position, i recommend getting the steamdeck and a refurbished thinkpad. This will be better and more versatile for gaming AND productivity, and probably still cost less/ take up less backpack space than a larger more powerful laptop would, especially when you factor in needing a controller. I already had a steamdeck but i picked up a cheap thinkpad for like 300$ canadian and i couldnt be happier with both. My laptop is for schoolwork and my steamdeck is for games and i often bring both to school. But when youre writing a test or late to a lecture you want to be able to just pull out a slim laptop and open it straight away, not have to boot the steamdeck into desktop mode and attach a mouse and keyboard first.

Games with complicated or involved stories just need to go back to having a comprehensive log or journal. That used to be a staple of big games, to the point where it could take you days to read all the lore and journal entires. That might not be fully ideal for those adult gamers either but theres definitely a comfortable middle ground where your active missions page has a little brief for each objective telling you who gave the quest, what they wanted and why. Lots of games these days can have like 20 active quest markers and give you no information about any of them beyond some random npc you talked to once wants 10 of something for some reason.

I expected a much bigger hit to performance when i got a 1TB sd card for my steamdeck and initially only was putting small indie games on there, but after gradually moving up to higher performance games and not really noticing a hit, i just throw everything on there now. I think most games these days are more limited by other factors than storage speed.

Do you think he hires his bodyguards straight out of high school because he wants to bring in fresh brains to ‘disrupt’ the security space? Do you think he’s threatened if one of his bodyguards knows more about guns or can do more pushups than he can? Are yhey all just mindless yes men afraid to tell him ‘No’ if theres a security issue? Or does he value experience when it comes to his safety and can put his ego aside? Im actually curious about the dynamics given his track record with people working under him and his ludicrous hiring choices and process in the past.

Linux doesnt install things like windows does. A tar file is just an archive. What you did is basically the equivalent of copying a program’s Program Files. Itll still work if you just run the exe from the folder, but there’s no registry entry, no start menu shortcut, no desktop shortcut until its created by you or the installer on Windows.

It conditions them into believing that there are powerful and mysterious forces at work in the world that can’t be explained but must be taken on faith. If they get into the habit of looking for answers to questions, they might start asking other inconvenient questions. My sunday school teacher had a similar spiel about how god was like the wind, we couldnt see or touch him but we could see the effects of his actions.

Why would it stop you from putting any of those in yohe bio? Or more to the point, it doesn’t stop you from putting all those. It only stops you from putting ‘no zionists’. Now why would that be?

Ive used it for 1.5 years with absolutely no issue. I made a separate steam account just in case, but honestly even if i couldn’t use steam I’d still never put windows on there. Id much rather keep linux on it and just run games with lutris like people who have linux gaming pcs do. Steam makes it super easy and convenient but it isnt necessary for linux gaming.

Im not suggesting they upload it, but they literally do seed torrents to get a list of all clients who connect to them and download, because the torrent is still an unauthorized distribution for everyone else. I think it totally should be considered illegal, but thats how theyve been doing it for years.

Why wouldnt they be seeding? If they own the rights or are acting on behalf of the rightsholders they dont have to worry about the criminality of it, and they have the resources to be in the highest seeding ratio if they want. They could literally build up an account to be the most active seeder on the site and just be collecting logs the whole time until they decide to burn the account and act on all the data they’ve collected.

Yeah i mostly just wanted to add onto your comment so anyone new didnt get the wrong impression. Private trackers are definitely better but don’t protect you from anyone logging your activity. Use a VPN in north america all the time is basically the best policy.

It would be incredibly stupid to still not use a vpn in the states. If a kid who has never tormented before can get an invite to a private tracker, so can a consultant with an antipiracy group. And with a corporate fiber connection and limitless storage budget they could easily sit on thousands of torrents from private sites without having to worry about ratio. The site moderator would never know anything is up until all their users start getting piracy notices, and even then itd be hard to track down the one doing the logging.

Its a star shaped opening in a pink ring. Have you never seen an asshole?
