Such good news. I hope someone can answer this either theoretically or practically as I’m not as knowledgeable in this.
One of the things I love about the steam deck is the ability to just turn it off and back on a few days later and the game is exactly where I left off. If steamOS is on a PC or another handheld deck. Would it still be possible to still have this feature? I guess my question is whether this is a software or hardware feature.

It does goes to show hardware isn’t everything. In fact it’s a pretty small factor for most if the games are fun.

That’s why there’s a difference between book smart and street smart. Working on both matters. It’s a competitive world out there. You’re right, a degree doesn’t guarantee you a job, it probably did back in the day that’s why older generations wanted kids to go to college. Hence the competition.
Like it or not. This is essentially what comes with living in a capitalist society. My parents always told me growing up to learn a skill. Doesn’t matter what just like it and keep getting better at it. And that’s your fallback. It’s definitely help led me through lots of industries and careers. But I couldn’t have done it without a combo of hustle and study. All of it, the study, the networking, the interviews IS the work. There’s no “end”. So you gotta find some joy out of the process otherwise it’s hard to be happy in life.
I loved getting better at what I did. I would constantly work on or talk to folks on how to get better and how to get a job from what I did. My only goal was to get a job even slightly close to my industry and drop retail work. Once I got that I set a new goal, but all in the name of getting better at my craft and learning new skills to complement it. That involved going back to university in my mid, late 20s.
I never saw it as my career. I just wanted to get better at the few things I like doing and hustle to learn how to get paid for it. Then how to get better again and get paid more for that. Money came naturally because people do want to pay for passionate skillful people. But lots and lots of struggle along the way. Not trying to undersell that. But it was still fun and worth it when you have people by your side in this journey.
So on getting a degree, the most important thing I got out of it was making friends.

I’ll def play it but not hyped for it. Hopefully they have a good amount of single player story. Rockstar has a way of writing story and character that’s so special. Hope that hasn’t changed

In defence of the strangling, I assumed it was a 3 stooges inspired slapstick humour that didn’t have any malice intentions when writing. Def a good call to just end it

Simpsons really did challenge culture and now it’s become culture.
That being said it was edgy for the reasons not because of a white man voicing Apu or Homer strangling Bart. The edginess were its ideas and satirical humour compared to anything else on TV at the time. I’m in favour of Homer not strangling Bart and retiring Apu. Keeping these things wouldn’t help anyone, or suddenly make the show great again.

Hope everything goes down in price a bit. Honestly Apple could afford it just to earn a bit of good will.
I think for the base price you get a really really good product despite 8gb memory. Most people just need it to perform and it does. But yea once you start upgrading it’s insanely ridiculous and it’s insulting to those who want more out of the best product they’ve made in a long time.

You can look at reviews for second gen AirPods Pro. They’re practically the same with port change and a slight change inside that only affects compatibility with the vr headset that’s not even out. I got the usbc ones but don’t have an android to test sorry

I definitely met people who don’t care about music. And would prefer silence than music on the radio. I don’t believe they hate music in general.
I’m at an age where I’m just not as passionate about music as I was. Not saying only young people enjoy music. I’m just currently not inspired by it and hope to be so again soon.

Exactly. I’m sure there were regrets and sadness about the time he’s lost to family and friends and being young. But it effectively paid off. If he shared his wealth those people and left tomorrow to make up for lost time it will be a very very net positive life.
But he’s in his current role. Reminding us this billionaire use to be human but we don’t care. Because it’s such an unfathomable amount of wealth for most people he* might as well be fictional.

Mine is an extension of my body. I can’t not have it with me going out. But I get thirsty a lot. Took me a while to fine one that works for me size and function wise.

It’s mainly the lens size. It has a wide zoom range with a servo rocker (zoom buttons) and can par focal* (focus at one zoom range and stay the same focus when zoomed out)
Then it’s a massive battery on the back and an audio kit strapped on the side. Then sometimes streaming device to live broadcast. Then you got a shoulder pad on the bottom and a big viewfinder for daylight shooting. Strip all that away the body isn’t as big and heavy as you think. So largely all operational to be used running around without needing to stop and change gear.

Which makes me worry that they would rather scrap the 2 at that price range and make 3 the base cheaper (but more expensive) price.
3 definitely feels like a bit of an after thought product. I’m just glad they’re not touching the pros for a while. Literally just bought the usbc one on a sale this week

Knowing Americans they would’ve rejected it if it wasn’t called military time. In fact I reckon if you guys rebranded metric system to military measurements there might be more acceptance to it.

Vanilla pods didn’t sell well cos ANC is pretty much a standard these days. The money you’d spend on them you might as well reach for the pros. Apple have been flooding the market with endless variety for a while now. Definitely not the simple and clean product line like back in the day.

I reckon they wanted to put the work out there first before then saying who the new talent is. If. You announce the talent then present the work people will pick at it to death. Now we play the game first and it’s great. The voice is different and that’s cool too.

It still might be my favourite device of all time. There was something magical about that era and a good ol iPod classic. Maybe I was at an age where music was a huge part of my life and now less so. Maybe it was because everyone carried around an iPod, and scrolling through each other’s meant getting to know each other. There’s something amazing about it that having access to everything now ended up killing that feeling. Or I just got older.

Stephen Fry’s reading of Harry Potter is just the best.
On a JK Rowling note. Her Cormoran Strike series (starting with Cuckoo’s Calling) under a different pen name is actually pretty great. It’s a modern day detective series with great personable characters. Very easy to listen to. Despite her crappy views, Rowling’s way of writing is very clean and simple so might fit your brief.

Microsoft has a way. I still get a message recommending Microsoft Authenticator when logging in the work enterprise laptop. That’s an ad. Can’t imagine what they’re capable of on 11.
Feel like it’s headed that way and wonder how some of us old timers feel about this direction. Personally I hope with each title they don’t just create a new story, characters, and universe, but also experiment with turn based again given the success of OT2
