Right, Ohm’s Law says that Voltage / Resistance = Current. 12/120 = 100mA (thus your 90mA).

How hard would it be to cut the cord and socket out and replace them with standard off the shelf parts from the hardware store? You can generally get light cord and a bulb socket for relatively cheap (~$10), provided they fit your existing lamp

Or you could remember Ctrl+Shift+N, which also creates a new folder in the current directory

That makes more sense, especially since there are some Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies but no TV show. Thanks 😅

Not a parent, but hear really good things about Bluey. Other decent shows for that age range would be Daniel Tiger or even the original Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.

Those shows are typically for younger kids , so if looking for something that will appeal to a pre-teen, Reading Rainbow is a classic that can get kids into actually reading books, along with Between the Lions (though that one might be for slightly younger than preteen).

I would also say that the early seasons of Cyberchase are great for math and science concepts and Arthur is a great show all around and has tons of episodes.

Most of these are older shows, but they should be readily available on Internet Archive or YouTube and try to be low stimulation with good role models rather than high stimulation with bad role models.

Wish there was a better text-to-speech engine rather than speech-to-text. I tend to want my computer to speak to me more than I want to speak to my computer.

Guess that’s just me.

Can I make it z-any more obvious?

I have a lot of controllers (Xbox, PS, Switch). I don’t need a Steam Controller, and I doubt I’ll use it to its full extent, but I ultimately wanted to tell Valve that there’s demand for their hardware.

Not like they needed me specifically for that, considering they sold out in an hour… but I didn’t know that until it happened

I’m pretty sure it’ll still work without Steam, you just might not have all the bells and whistles. But according to the site, it can connect to anything with Bluetooth.

Well yeah, there are only like two gamers in the EU. I’m talking about America, the center of the universe 🦅

(Just kidding, I’m glad yall seem to have more stock/lower demand)

Sounds like my earlier theory was right, they’re using the “out of stock” as a way to limit orders. I finally got my order to go through at about 11:10 PDT.

Even if I complete the transaction, a message pops up that says “Your order cannot be completed as the item is out of stock”

Important edit: The Steam Controller is not totally out of stock. They are toggling availability to limit orders. If you have not yet gotten one, continue checking the site.

Who all managed to get one?

Who’s with me in the “impatiently has to wait for them to return to stock” camp?

What excites you most about the Steam Controller?
