Eaters of Light is the most Scottish Doctor Who has ever been I think. It was written by a Scottish writer (Rona Munro) under a Scottish showrunner (Steven Moffat) with a Scottish Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and a Scottish Master (Michelle Gomez) and is set almost entirely in ancient Scotland lol.

The Steam Deck sort-of has it on some games already, but it's a bit hacky. I did get 60fps Cyberpunk going though, which was a nice surprise. It'll be great to get a proper unified way of doing frame-gen though.
When they announced Steam Machines the first time, I thought it was a great idea because it would give PC devs a sort of baseline system to aim for, and then I was surprised when they launched and they were all sorts of different system specs. I'm still convinced that's at least partly why they failed - if you buy a console like a Playstation or XBOX, part of the appeal is that you know exactly what you're getting and what will run on it. If it says 'PS5', it'll run on your PS5.
So hopefully if they try again it'll be something along those lines, kind of like the Steam Deck.
Yeah same here, I thought it was one of the few cases where the adaptation was better than the book. It cuts out a lot of the waffle from the books and patches up lots of holes, especially with characters like you said.
Our local library is really cool, it has a recording studio, a makerspace with 3D printers, and a service where you can borrow tools. You can even borrow a radon detector!
I'm still using my old Pixel 4a because I refuse to get a phone without a headphone jack lol
It's harder to measure of course, but I wonder how that compares to the amount of sales they lose from people who just don't bother buying the game when they find out it has Denuvo? I know I recently lost all interest in two games (Civ VII and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II) when I found out they were launching with Denuvo and I assume I'm not the only person who does that.
I like Ventoy, it's handy but I don't think it's indispensable so probably what I'll do is go back to using Etcher (which is open source AFAIK) until this resolves itself one way or another. I assume either the dev will respond properly with an explanation and everything will be fine, or someone will get fed up enough to fork it. I feel like it's probably nothing nefarious, but it doesn't really hurt to be overly cautious in this case IMO.
Currently I use Borg Backup with Vorta as a GUI. I don't really do anything automated/scheduled, I just back it up manually to an external SSD every few days or so. I pretty much do my whole /home folder, except for a couple of subfolders that aren't really necessary (and Videos, which I back up separately.)
I do eventually want to upgrade to a NAS, but I'm waiting until we move to start setting that up. Also I don't really have an off-site plan yet which I know is bad, but I need to figure that out.
Yeah that's my main issue with them too. I like the idea in theory, but in practice I find it tends to create this weird environment where something's always broken because everything updates on a different schedule and nobody cares if their update breaks anything else.
We went Aldous Huxley when we should have gone Iain M. Banks lol
If it helps at all, I'm typing this on a Lenovo Ideadpad 5 that has a Ryzen 5 and 8gb that's running up-to-date Arch (btw) and KDE perfectly well with no troubles at all. I haven't owned the Yoga Slim specifically, but I've had a few Lenovos over the years and mine have all run various forms of Linux quite happily.
