My partner and I were concerned about that originally but it's really a non issue for either of us, it's still way better than not having one.

I modded my 880s to have removable cables , replaced the pads and the headband as they were getting a bit worn after a decade of daily driving them. I use 1990s as my daily driver these days but I like having options.

Seriously solid headphones, I'm not immediately writing them off because a Chinese company though, I've used FiiO stuff for 15 years and it's been solid, so fingers crossed.

That's the predominant one in Canada too, at least in my experience.

Goes with a Chipper Shredder (Woodchipper), sure there's probably other things named the same way.

Just tacking on that box fan filters are really easy to make and do a solid job in my experience. Use high quality filters (like MPR 1900+/Merv13+), duct tape them into a cube (air direction facing inward in my case) and duct tape it to the intake side of the fan, I use 4 filters with the bottom being a cardboard blank, but there's a ton of designs out there.

If you do it manually, path is something like (if it's on the ssd at least)

    
~/.local/steam/steamapps/common/StardewValley/mods
  

  

SMAPI has a .sh in their release zip that sets it up for you, and their wiki is pretty solid if you're wanting to do it through proton instead of the native application. I gave the nexus mod app a try, works pretty well but without premium you need to download mods individually, having an actual mod manager is nice though.

I've done rimworld modding running that through proton, but rimworld has workshop support and various mod managers so that was really easy to do (and plays pretty well, but I played rimworld on the og steam controller in the past so was kinda used to it)

Just setup mods for my partner's steamdeck, ended up putting stardew Very expanded on both our decks and doing a new playthrough, needed to tweak a few settings as a chunk of mods seem to expect keyboard/mouse controls.

Runs pretty well all things considered, it's added an overwhelming amount of stuff.

That's super bizarre and sorry you're having those issues. I have a 4070ti w/ an 11900k on arch (use debian on my laptop and printers, chose arch for more recent releases for drivers in particular) and guess I've been lucky, arch wiki won't 100% help but might point you at other possible configs?

Had solid luck with the nvidia-open drivers, and really other than setting a few flags for hdr in KDE (which I'm not sure it's still needed), I do recall looking at DRM kernel mode settings (section 1.2), most of my grief though has been HDR related (and gamescope doesn't play nice with some games, steam big picture also can render strange on higher resolutions)

I did some testing for some parts for my dad, he keeps bees and lost a shaft support for one of his tools when he was reassembling it, he whipped up a replacement and fired me the stl when I was talking about my printers.

Printing with the shaft in the z needed a lot of supports,

laying it on its "back" was by far the easiest, outside of the support looked a little gross, could have benefitted from supports. Did them all in petg, gave them all to him just so he can get a feel for what 3D printed parts look like as he's interested in getting one himself (trying to sell him on a v0 if he's not sure, but kinda thinking about doing a trident)

If I recall the Verb-Noun idea is supposed to make it clear what is happening, take a look through stuff like the approved verbs for defining cmdlets. There's aliases and stuff for sure for example I think ls is an aliases for Get-ChildItem in PowerShell.

It's supposed to make it so you don't necessarily need to look things up, need to do something to an item? Well you can Copy, Remove, Rename, Move etc, and while yeah that's a super basic example that you know the equivalent linux commands for, the concept is supposed to apply everywhere. Now, whether or not people follow the guidelines is probably another story.

I don't really hate shell scripting, feel like they all have their place, complex stuff though is nicer in straight PowerShell than bash IMO, but I'm fine using either.

Synapse link is a pain too if you're doing everything with as much private networking as possible. Actual setup is quick, but you need a windows machine for the PowerShell libraries needed for the dynamics side of the link, and if you're just added as a guest to a client tenant, the cmdlets won't let you login on their tenant, always uses the default tenant as far as I recall and there's no tenant flag. I've set it up a handful of times and once it's up it works really well, just an annoyance sometimes getting there. Think doing it through event hub has some similar irritations too.

I've not had the pain of dealing with fabric extensively, most of the engineers and data scientists I work with hate working with it, everything seems like a halfbaked implementation of stuff in synapse, adf and Power BI premium but somehow worse, and their documentation is increasingly unhelpful.

I use moonlight a lot on my deck for more intense stuff, gets way better battery life that way too. Ended up using the deck a lot more than I expected I would.

I bought both the Witcher 1 & 2 for around a buck cad each, not quite the same deal but still fantastic value for the cost.

If you want to skip the awful smelling phase, use some citrus for the first few days. Pineapple juice works, recently did one with orange juice. Gets the ph low enough so lactobacillus can thrive. Gave it an extra week to build some strength before baking and yeah, works great.

I just did equal mass of juice and flour, prefer 100% rye or whole wheat to start, 50g each, add more ap flour after it's established.

Should add eduke32 (that's the repo, site here) for Duke Nukem 3D, believe Ion Fury (which is phenomenal) is built on that, think I've seen mention of it working with other build engine games, I've used with assets from world tour, it's a better experience imo.

Gzdoom has some great games built on the engine too (bit of a tangent), Selaco and Hedon both fantastic games.

My partner suspected it like a decade ago, pandemic rolled around, masking got harder. Started with my current therapist, who has ADHD, they worked with me exploring why I thought I may and helped me navigate diagnosis, seeing others lived experiences was big and is why I'm open about it at work and otherwise.

Had my preliminary consult with my psych and was given an eval that I passed with flying colours. Looking back, I check lots of boxes, I failed a course in uni because I got stressed and binged wow as an outlet, loss of structure hit me hard going from highschool. Courses I wasn't interested in I had a hard time investing in. My masking at work didn't do great for my mental health or personal life, food & alcohol were the drugs I used (incidentally vyvanse is used for binge eating disorder as well), hit financial issues from impulse spending. I've written about my experience with that in the past, was not a good time in my life (mentally or physically) but I've worked through it (with therapy) so it's a chapter I don't want to repeat.

I went through stages of acceptance after my diagnosis, which is totally normal, I'd get frustrated realising how much of my behaviour is linked to my ADHD, either directly or as a coping mechanism. Was annoyed initially I got the diagnosis in my 30s but hey, can't change the past and I wouldn't be who I am without my experiences. I've still got work to do and maladaptive coping mechanisms to unpack, but hey it's a journey and diagnosis was absolutely vital, I'm super grateful to my partner for really pushing me towards it, they're also nd so we help support each other.

We are already are, look at season passes, dlc etc, 90+ is the de facto price of a lot of AAA games. They'll claim going even higher is to support developers or whatever when laying people off en masse and posting even larger quarterly results, it's pure avarice.

They also tend to sell more copies vs decades ago, which is partly why the $70cad game was so normal for so long IMO.

I recall that sql server will group bit columns into bytes for storage, wouldn't surprise me if other flavours did something similar.

I totally use 🙃😐😑🤔😔😬 with my team where appropriate, 💯🔥👊🤗🙌 also get used (with like every other emoji you listed) by the entire department all the time, usually as reactions to messages, reaction gifs are also pretty common. Similar thing to 👍 beside a message, just extra descriptive. Client conversations are limited usually to just 👍 reactions. They're great for symbolic indicators in reporting too.

I like how much extra information emojis bring, definitely used emoticons and the like for that in the past so it's just a continuation of that to me (I still use emoticons from time to time, ellipsis too) tone is often lost in text otherwise.

Appreciate it, I'll take a look thanks!

Edit: Looks like it works after setting PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 as well, thanks again.

Getting washed out HDR on a 4070ti on 570.144 drivers for whatever reason, but gamescope w/ HDR seem to work perfectly with Proton 10 (Both the valve beta and now GE versions, it'd freeze when trying to enable HDR in the past), having HDR at all in games is a huge win so I'll take it.

Tried GoW Raganarok and Cyberpunk for reference
