Sure you can become honorary Europeans along with the Australians. You'll be expected to send a Eurovision candidate though!

From a Non-American perspective: Europe will hopefully become less dependent on the US and finally build a proper unified army. We might get more skilled migrants from the US, who will bolster our economy.

Interesting that they'll do another model for the US, they've completely scrapped the Niro EV in Europe in favor of the EV3.

I had stick insects for a while. Very easy to care for. They multiply rapidly, so the main challenge is keeping their population under control. In the beginning I had males and females, but the males died out at some point. Not an issue for their reproduction though, as the females can basically just clone themselves into an egg.

No rumble is a deal breaker for a $60 controller. I think I'll stick with 8bitdo and maybe wait for a new Valve controller.

I wouldn't say giving Harris a 50.4 percent chance of winning is predicting her to win. That's effectively a coin toss.

Guild Wars 2. I'm not really into grinding for hours or optimizing my characters, so I appreciate that the game can be played quite casually. That's also true of ESO, but that one feels basically like a single player game to me, while GW2 feels much more social with a lot of player cooperation just arising naturally through its design. Also love the zone design, having a lot of exploration and things like jumping puzzles. Story is pretty decent as well.

Criminals will be required to work social services for the common good. High-risk criminals will also be put under constant surveillance either by automated systems or, in extreme cases, Human guards to stop them from reoffending.

Maybe look into being self-employed. There should be some opportunities there for a computer engineer. Working remotely for a company in a different area or even country might also be an option, depending on whether that's legally possible in Cambodia.

Learning-wise, I'd say starting on PC makes much more sense. You'll have a much easier time developing and debugging the game, as you can test right on the device you're using to create the game. In terms of it being profitable, it's very likely that your first game won't be. I'd look at it as a learning experience first and foremost that will enable you to make profitable games in the future.

The smaller community can be a selling point. On reddit, a single voice pretty much gets drowned out by the masses. Lemmy feels much more personal and like an actual community.

 

I'm currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either. But now I'm a bit worried - could the battery have shorted something on the motherboard? It holds a charge after all. What do you think - should I return it for a new one untested or are the chances of the battery harming anything so miniscule that I should just go for it and use it in my build?

 

The Steam Deck's multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn't even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I've just started playing "Sky: Children of the Light" on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.

This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

 

That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.
