I wish, Steam would make another steam machine with steamOS
The last thing I want is a gaming PC
The steam machine program was where OEMs could partner with Valve to make a gaming PC that shipped with a steam controller and Steam OS. That’s it.
You stated you wanted a steam machine, but also say you don’t want a gaming PC, but… That’s what a steam machine is
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 days ago:
I stream but from my own server.
I’ve got a collection curated over the last 15 years by my partner with over 40k tracks. I can shuffle and it will play for over 3 months without a repeat.
- Comment on YSK the basic techniques for "deprogramming" people who you think are in a cult 1 week ago:
Remember that most Christians have been such their entire lives. This programming is deep, and more strongly cemented than their critical thinking skills.
I suggest backdooring in critical thinking skills. When helping do deprogram my ex-in-laws we did weekly brain teasers and logic puzzles before our dinners, and after we’d play investigative board games.
Eventually they left the baptist church, citing they’d been listening closer to what thwjr pastor was saying and it made them uncomfortable. They’re still Christian, but they go to a PCA Church now. Much less hateful congregation and clergymen (are they still clergy if they aren’t Catholic?).
Its all about baby-steps. You have to trust people to learn, but you may want to help supporting some of those learning skills.

You still occasionally should, let it go all the way to dead, but for calibration reasons instead of safety reasons

- Comment on Flying cars crash into each other at Chinese air show 2 weeks ago:
We don’t have flying cars because people are fucking dumb, and because the viable options are loud as hell.
We absolutely have the technology, and if there were a drive to make it affordable there would be more significant research into doing so.
To do a flying car, you need to simulate friction in the air, with significant enough force to prevent colision, while also maintaining low enough noise pollution to be acceptable to the average citizens. This second part is why we don’t have Personal helicopters, despite aircraft being relatively affordable (in my cursory search I found two Helicopters less than 200K, one barely more than 100k, if there were significant drive to make them mainstream for the public they’d presumably be much cheaper, benefitting from economies of scale.)
Additionally, how do we as a society handle ATC for flying cars? Emergency stops? Impromptu repairs? Birds in the props‽
I’m not trying to naysay the retrofuturistic image we all want for the world. I am saying it probably shouldn’t include flying cars. Especially if they’re just Personal quadcopters.
- Comment on Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve actually got a speeduino conversion on the agenda, but the car needs a full plumb in place rewire first. Its been through like 6 owners before me, one of which let it get infested with rats so a ton of the wiring had been replaced (notice I didn’t say repaired, or fixed)
The thing is a mess under the hood, I’m planning to run conduits with access loops every few feet to keep the wiring nice and clean. The end goal is California Ready but tbh I don’t expect it to ever meet emissions requirements that strict with a carb instead of EFI. I guess since I’ll be doing a speeduino conversion it wouldn’t be that much more work yo convert to EFI, or at least mod a turbo blowby hat to accept a diesel atomizer with which to jury rig a carb into a carbuer-efi hybrid.
Idk, I’m spitballing at this point.

Their website advertises it as a homeopathic product, are you sure this isn’t a scam? It looks like its just some vitamins C and Zinc.

Tuned to run slightly lean with an aftermarket catalytic convertor installed.
I do my best not to destroy the environment while still maintaining a vehicle I can work on myself
- Comment on Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels? 2 weeks ago:
Nope! Mid 70s MG, carbuereted. As far as I know it had a crank triggered ignition, ergo fully mechanical.
- Comment on UNDER THE THC 🎶 2 weeks ago:
Conversely, I’m a medical user exclusively for pain. I take 50mg twice a day and have very little effect on the mind but it stops my pain nearly completely.

My radio doesn’t even have a screen 😅
The only computer in my car is the radio, and that stays off most of the time. I’m honestly thrilled to not have so much tech in the car. Its nice to be able to fix nearly anything with some pliers, a multi-meter, and an adjustable spanner.

- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 2 weeks ago:
Literally just having a hotspot built in is keeping me on android. The lappy goes where I go, and that means as long as I have internet access I’m as connected as I could ever want to be.
Basically everyone has wifi, usually available after. I might just go out and get an unlocked dumbphone this week honestly.

Hey look the markov chain showed its biggest weakness (the markov chain)!
In the training data, it could be assumed by output that Connecticut usually follows Colorado in lists of two or more states containing Colorado. There is no other reason for this to occur as far as I know.
Markov Chain based LLMs (I think thats all of them?) are dice-roll systems constrained to probability maps.

I’m genuinely curious:
What are you doing on your PC that HDR is such a dealbreaker? I can’t remember anyone I’ve spoken to about it even giving a shit that HDR is available on anything other than their TVs

- Comment on Tea is basically just salad water. 4 weeks ago:
Salad comes from Latin. Sal- (as in saline) is the root word, meaning salted. A salad is chopped veggies with oil and salt. Today we generally used a Mayo or vinaigrettete style dressing, containing salt, oil, and usually an acid as well.
- Comment on Tea is basically just salad water. 4 weeks ago:
Salad must contain salt, that’s what the sal part means.
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 4 weeks ago:
While their process is organized lengthy, EA reps will go really far to help you prove you own an account to recover it and change the login info, over the phone at least. I’ve had to work with them recovering accounts several times because I never learn from a mistake the first time.
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 5 weeks ago:
I feel super sorry for whoever has to do my next tire change, the previous owner of my vehicle (just purchased otherwise it’d already have had a tire change) was using fix-a-flat for top ups so the didn’t have to lug out the air compressor.
I have no idea how much goo is in these tires, but I can only assume they look like the aftermath of a ménage et troi with 3 “Slimers” from ghostbusters.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 5 weeks ago:
Much of this specifically is devs implementing MSAA, which once upon a time was cheap, efficient, and looked fine. Nowadays with RT added into the mix MSAA just simply can’t function well on modern hardware, to the point where even city builders like Cities Skylines 2 will crawl to 14-15fps on low settings if you haven’t overridden the graphics pipeline to remove msaa and replace it with one that actually functions.
