The thing about case pressure does actually matter a lot for dust management. Positive pressure makes the case build up far less dust because air will only flow into the filtered intake, and will flow out through the outtake as well as any openings or gaps it can find, which prevents dust from flowing into the case except by possibly making past the filter.

- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 5 months ago:
Reddit is not a source, but the source linked in that post isn’t really clear.
However, in this Ars Technica article they state ‘Sources close to Valve suggested to Ars that this “parity” rule only applies to the “free” Steam keys publishers can sell on other storefronts and not to Steam-free versions of those games sold on competing platforms. Valve hasn’t responded to a request for comment on this story.’
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 5 months ago:
I don’t see a problem with it. Steam provides a ton of service as a marketplace and distributor. The social aspect of steam friends seeing what games you’re playing translates into advertising for your game. They allow for regional pricing adjustments so it’s not about blocking players from poorer countries from affording the game. And they have huge frameworks for digital item trading, achievement management, community discussion, modding and more. Their 30% cut of each sale policy is unilaterally enforced and in line with the fees charged by the VAST majority of other distributors. They don’t make exclusivity deals in exchange for taking a smaller cut, unlike some much less consumer-friendly markets. Their market is completely fair across the board. I think it’s also pretty fair to ask publishers not to push that 30% fee onto the consumer, by requiring the price on Steam to not exceed the price on any other marketplace.
That policy is to the benefit of steam customers, because they can be reasonably sure the steam price is the best price (currently) available. It’s not about exclusivity, it’s about protecting the value that Steam offers to the consumer.

No, it’s a noun made from the portmanteau of the first two letters of the greek alphabet

When you realize how that sounded you can save it by looking embarrassed and apologizing, and clarifying you meant something like “equipped”. Typically a gaff is better than leaving things at creepy
- Comment on Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds 6 months ago:
Especially when the bulk of your hydrogen production comes from excess energy generation
- Comment on Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds 6 months ago:
Except that H2 can be electrolyzed from water and is an emerging carbon-free fuel source. The nuclear power can just stay on all the time and we let H2 production drop a little when the wind is low and the sky is dark.

I’ve found plenty of things thinner than photons, it’s just that the photons they’re thinner than are extremely low energy.
- Comment on Slap a "quantum" on it = Instant flux capacitor 6 months ago:
Consciousness has nothing to do with the “observations” in quantum mechanics. The wave function collapses when we entangle ourselves with the outcome. Whether or not we actually record those “observations” is irrelevant.
