I know, my point is just that less people notice that they can also nominate than that they can vote on the finalists, because the latter is promoted more.

Probably yes. But the final voting is advertised on the store front page and usually during the winter sale, sometimes with things like getting cards or such stuff for voting, in addition to the pop-up. At least for me it seems more prominent in the interface than the nominations

Nomination is less prominently advertised in Steam compared to the voting itself, but you can nominate any game for an award via its store page. If I hear of it before it is over, it's usually because the devs of some game I'm playing are asking for nominations, I don't remember it being advertised on the store frontpage.

If your bulbs use Bluetooth and your phone is an android, that's because on Android you need location permission to scan for Bluetooth devices (as known Bluetooth beacons in range could give away your location). It's still bad, because you can't know if the app uses that permission for anything else.

As you mention German police, in Germany you need to always have your current address on the card. When you move, your ID card is updated. They don't replace it, you get a sticker on it that is stamped. It looks like you can even order it by mail now, in which case it gets a QR code with digital signature instead: https://www.personalausweisportal.de/SharedDocs/bilder/Webs/PA/DE/Allgemein/Schritt_5_Adressaufkleber.jpg?__blob=normal&v=5

I used fzf before atuin, and it works pretty similar, but atuin has a few additional features, as it tracks more information than the normal shell history. For example, you can also search only for commands that you executed in the current directory (great for stuff that is project specific). Or, if you use the history syncing feature, you can toggle search for commands you executed on either any or only the current machine.

In zsh, you can configure the completion to also show descriptions.

You also need a powered adapter for HDMI 2.1 in this case. The passive adapters work, because the DP output on the computer usually supports switching to HDMI output. But for that to work, the driver must support it, so it has the same problem as the HDMI port (which supports 2.1 on a hardware level, but not with AMDs open source drivers)

If you want 120Hz, only active adapters will work, which cost around 40$. If you don't, the included HDMI 2.0 will be enough

If you don't need 120Hz, you don't need HDMI 2.1. You can get 4k @ 60Hz with the HDMI 2.0 that the Steam Machine has, so you can use just any TV.

Passive DP-to-HDMI adapters only work if the device on the Displayport end supports Dual-Mode, i.e. using the Displayport to send an HDMI signal. They often do, but it would require the same driver support for HDMI 2.1. So this would require an active adapter.

I remember seeing a documentary about a village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn't reach and the material there taking in water and expanding. So it probably depends a lot on the local geology and also on the depth. I sadly don't remember how deep the one in the documentary was.

I know a few people that got geothermal heating installed for their homes (in Germany), which goes a lot less deep than something intended for whole cities or districts. The one at my friend's home is 50m deep, and it looks like anything less than 400m is considered "near surface"
