1xx - We’re still working on it

When it fails, it at least points you to the site where everyone asks for help.

Except this boy band is from the early 00’s.

Looks like some former USSR countries in Eastern Europe, like Ukraine or Lithuania, use +3 country codes. Was this always the case or was it changed after the dissolution of the USSR?

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.

“Can I get a sundae?”

“Sorry, the VM is broken.”

“live” didn’t make it onto the list, I see.

OK, but by the same token, Russia has no right to tell Ukraine who they can ally with.

What’s not to love about print-on-demand pancakes?

The first three Macs had this jack in the front for the keyboard and a PC-like serial port in the back for the mouse. With the Mac SE and II, the switched to ADB, which looked like a PS/2 port, but you could daisy chain your mouse, keyboard, and other inputs like tablets or joysticks all into one jack in the back of the computer.

In my day, the RJ-11 jack was for connecting the keyboard, not the phone line.

Early PC only had 5 card slots, and the only jack on the motherboard was the keyboard. One slot is going to be used by a video card, one’s probably being used by a hard drive controller, one’s probably used by a parallel + serial card. Soundcards also included controller ports to try to save a slot.

There’s no dust clouds being kicked up by the derailed running in the dirt, no way is this real.

When “What idiot wrote this?” is replaced by “I should call my mom.”

The license plate on that car seems on-brand for Bond.

I’ve heard of jury nullification, but I haven’t heard of police nullification.

The big railroads are laser focused on short term profits these days, to the detriment of long-term investment and public safety. A fix would probably require updating or replacing the Head of Train transceiver on every locomotive, and that’s not good for quarterly dividends.

It may be zip code boundaries, given how narrow the NYC strip is. Some of the excessive jankiness in what was Nevada would be because no one lives on a lot of the federally-owned land reserves out there, so they don’t get their own post office, and the catchment area of some zip codes gets huge with weird boundaries.

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.
