Thermals wouldn't get too hot, but wireless charging is terribly inefficient. If using a battery pack that's say 20,000mah in size, you'll only normally get about 14,000mah worth of charge into your device going from USB C to USB C (caries with charge speed and efficiency of charge controllers involved). With wireless charging you're probably looking at 9,000mah.

Not what I'm saying. Just saying that there's 131 million players and blaming Roblox for like 40 incidents is dumb. That's like 0.0000012%. 700 kids a year die from being hit by cars. 900 kids a year die from drowning. 500 kids every year are murdered by their own parents.

Saying Roblox is to blame when it's such a comparatively small amount of everything else in the world is stupid. You can't sterilize the planet from danger. Roblox isn't even a blip when compared to most other things.

Negative. They were very against the law. A guy backed over and killed his own child and made it a multi year mission to force back up cameras as a requirement. Politicians look bad if they don't want to "save the children."

It really fucks with me when I plug in my steam deck to the TV and use my PS5 controller to play.

He left out an important data point with all of his math. One he doesn't have any data on. He failed to account for down force created by the vehicle. He completely ignored it. Downforce completely changes breakaway speeds on the tires.

As to why it gets slower times than a thousand hp car on the track, it's simple. The car weighs MUCH more. Like 2,000 pounds more. That makes braking and turning and acceleration slower (but there's plenty of power to overcome the acceleration) and like what he did touch on, the battery isn't large enough to go "all out" on this track without running out of juice.

If the byd car could use magic to make it weigh as little as the zr1 and not be battery capacity limited, it would wipe the floor with the zr1.

So yes, 3,000hp and all wheel drive is a benefit. It just can't overcome the weight difference through all the turns and deceleration on the track.

Nice. This is my great uncles straight razor. He came from Germany and had a barbershop in the 1940's around Kansas City, so it's around 80 years old.

I'd rather not ruin a hobby by making it a job.

Newsweek is seriously trying to take a dry and completely humorless approach on this "story"

:-\

Well we're all curious now....

That's a convoluted answer for me. I hand sharpen knives and straight razors as a hobby. Been doing it for like 30 years and have several hundreds of dollars in diamond and wetstones. I doubt there's 500 people in the country (US) that are better than I am at hand sharpening.

The convoluted part is that I could charge people to sharpen knives. I just don't want to.

My home gaming PC is a ryzen 1500x and an Nvidia 1060 GPU. Old as hell but still runs most games.

Most people on steam probably have a rig with 4+ year old hardware, and after seeing what my little steam deck oled can do, id say the steam machine will be able to out perform any 4+ year old windows system when it comes to gaming.

 
 

I have the one default user "deck" in desktop mode. It looks like it's set to a standard account type.

I can't add a user or change this without a pop up asking "Authentication is required to change user data" and wanting "authenticating as root" password.

Leaving it blank fails. Putting in my sudo password that I have set and at this point double checked multiple times from within Konsole fails as well. I'll go in Konsole and type "passwd" then I'll type the current password and it will say "changing password for deck" and the change works fine. I'll close Konsole, but still have the same issue outside of konsole. Entering a password fails when trying to modify user or update anything.

I can't update anything on desktop now, and I can't figure out what the heck the issue with it is.

Does anyone have a clue? Thanks

Edit\update: Tried a million things. Couldn't get back root access. Made a steam OS boot image on a micro SD card and used it in the steam deck to re-install steam OS but keep my downloads\user files etc. This worked and got back "deck" as admin account as it should be. All better.

 
 

But no pun in ten did.

 

Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house

everyone felt shitty

even the mouse.

With mom at the whore house

and dad smokin grass

I settled down

for a nice piece of ass

when out on the lawn

arose such a clatter

I sprang from my piece

to see what was the matter

and out on the lawn

I seen some big dick

and I knew in a moment

it must be St.Nick

he flew down my chimney like a bat out of hell

and i knew in a moment

the fucker had fell

He filled all our stocking with pretzels and beer

and a big rubber dick

for my brother, the queer.

then he rose up the chimney with a thunderous fart

the son of a bitch blew my chimney apart

cussing and cursing as he rode out of sight.

pissing on all

having one hell of a night.

 

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.
