There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • Because the Steam Deck is just computer hardware. I can already install whatever OS I want to and Steam won't know that it's a Steam Deck anymore.

  • Saying the Steam Deck is digital only is like saying a tower computer is digital only. That's purely false. If you can put it on a tower computer, you can put it on the Steam Deck.

    All the Steam Deck, like many modern tower computers, needs for physical copies is a USB media reader.

  • Linux market share on the rise, 4.55%
  • How are you trying to connect it?

  • Waymo Robotaxis Are Giving 100,000 Rides a Week. It'll Soon Be More.
  • Interesting, when I took Waymo, it was cheaper than Uber and Lyft, pre tip.

  • Going off what fishpen0 said, Waymo actually has sensors on it to detect things and can "understand" its surroundings much better than Tesla cars can wish just cameras.

    I've ridden in Waymos and they are smooth riding. After the initial "OMG! There's no driver!" You kind of forget about it. You get to your (limited area) destination safely and without much hassle.

    I can go more in depth if ya want.

  • Totally clueless with investing, $100k sitting in the bank earning 0.05%. How do I get started? Please advise.
  • Going off of SMCF, it really depends on how liquid you are and what country you're in.

    If you're in the US, I have SoFi and 4.5%/APY on my savings account. Gotta have your direct deposit or move $5k monthly into the checking. If you can swing that, it's a great bank. I think Ally does similar.

    Most major brick and mortar banks are shite for accruing interest money.

  • That's a good version of it too.

  • LMAO OK. You got me with that one.

  • Phoenix, Arizona, hits its 100th consecutive day of 100F weather
  • Whenever someone says that, my reply is "So is a fire. Go jump in one and let me know how it feels." 🤣

  • It's brual. If you don't have AC in your house/mode of transportation, you can literally die of heat stroke in a few hours.

    A fire fighter trainee literally died in Tucson recently from heat stroke. It's bad y'all. Stay away if you can.

    Winter is decent though since it's like 50 - 70 lol

  • Light switch advice
  • Highly disagree that Z-Wave is dead. There are many companies, especially Zooz, coming out with new products all the time. Yes, ZigBee is far cheaper but I've had the worst reliability issues with ZigBee and moved everything to Z-Wave. Zero issues with connectivity or batteries dying too fast.

    But that's the beauty and strength of HA. Openess and selection.

  • The spies in your home: How WiFi companies monitor your private life
  • Poorly worded but your wifi manufacturer. They put in stuff to "protect" you or "help monitor" your home but all it really is spyware.

  • Doesn't bring their trust worthiness into question but it is kind of annoying. I get the marketing blitz but tone it down a bit, yeah?

  • Here's a little something sovcit picked up but hasn't actually tried.
  • Of course it'd be my former hometown that tries this shit. 🤦‍♂️

  • WITH ads? Fuckin awesome coupon, thanks!
  • But I can't use the same logic to yarr-harr their content even though I pay for the subscription. It comes with Hulu Live TV + no ads so I have to have it.

  • How to catch houseflies?
  • I bought a couple of these for around the house. https://a.co/d/5vjsVs3 Works very well but mostly at night.

    Also to make sure you regularly do the dishes, take out trash and clean up any food sources for the flies. After using the above and doing the above, mine went from insanity to maybe 1 or 2 around the house in about a week or two.

  • Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia
  • Thanks for sharing! I'll get that up and running once I'm home.

  • Why don't we simply fling our decommissioned warships at our enemies? Are we stupid?
  • Cause we're not at Warhammer 40k levels of insanity... yet.
