There isn't a completely objective criteria, from Wikipedia:

Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke also defined the term in 2010: "A too-big-to-fail firm is one whose size, complexity, interconnectedness, and critical functions are such that, should the firm go unexpectedly into liquidation, the rest of the financial system and the economy would face severe adverse consequences."

NVIDIA currently makes up nearly 7.5% of the S&P 500 (not to mention that they have invested a lot in the other companies and those companies have invested in NVIDIA). If they were to suddenly be liquidated I'd say that would cause 'severe adverse consequences' to the economy.

And it would likely cause a ripple to other tech companies, which which make up roughly 1/3 of the entire US stock market.

nope, the full relativistic energy relation is:

E^2^ = m^2^ c^4^ + p^2^ c^2^

p is the momentum and for a (massive) particle at rest the momentum p=0, taking the square root if both sides you get the more familiar:

E = m c^2^

Now a photon (and any other massless particle) can't be at rest, it is forced to always travel at the speed of light and since it is massless m=0 and the energy becomes (again taking the square root):

E = p c

When a particle has both mass and isn't at rest (but not traveling anywhere close to the speed of light) the E = m c^2^ is much, much larger than the E = p c part (ignoring that a square root isn't linear {Hello Dirac}). Because the speed of light c is such a a huge number that squaring it makes it even bigger. It is usually fair to say that mass is 'equivalent' to energy, but it isn't strictly true and actually false for massless particles (or particles traveling close to the speed of light [velocity v~c] -> p=m v~m c -> E = pc ~ m c^2^ , which has close to c^2^ in it).

So photons have energy, not because they have mass (where massive particles have most of their energy), but because they have momentum (p).

You bring up the theoretical black hole from photons, which are called 'Kugelblitz' black holes, iirc. They (theoretically could) exist, not because photons have some sort if mass, but because spacetime curves because of the energy content, not mass. Again, for most regular objects, the vast majority of its energy comes from its mass and the momentum doesn't play a huge role. But for photons all their energy comes from their momentum, since they don't have any mass.

But were they selling Steam Keys? Sounds to me like Ubisoft was selling a UPlay version of the game for cheaper than the Steam version, which probably didn't include a Steam Key.

If the UPlay version also included a Steam Key, then yes, Ubisoft would have broken the terms of contract, but that seems unlikely to me.

I think its fair enough for Valve to require that Steam Keys, which use Steam infrastucture, are not sold for less than Steam sells them for, since Valve wouldn't be making any money on them, but would still have some of the costs associated with delivering the product (and depending on how much Steam infrastructure they use, matchmaking, anti-cheat and other things).

But requiring that keys for other Stores, with their own infrastructure, are never cheaper that Steam is definitely monopolistic, shitty and probably illegal.

Its weird to me that all articles I have found about this issue don't actually mention this crucial detail.

I think they have an OLED version as well

Its the Atomic Purple Translucent Front and Back Cover from JSAUX, unfortunately they don't seem to stock it purple anymore and the amazon listings also say currently unavailable.

The swap was a lot more difficult than I expected. It took several hours and you need to get the screen out of the stock front cover and its glued in pretty strongly. I actually accidentally broke my stock screen when doing the shell swap and actually replaced it with a higher res one.

I also changed the thumbsticks to Hall Effect ones while i was at it, which required the slightest amount of soldering to get the thumb sticks to remain touch sensitive, although I think modules that come with extra sticks presoldered exist now.

Yep, love it. I even modded my Steam Deck with a translucent purple case.

funnily enough, usually I can't reproduce these, but this one I could. It's not quite as unhinged but still definetly very wrong

"Multiple Input Methods Navigate with your TV remote via CEC, a game controller, a keyboard and mouse, or even your phone via KDE Connect."

Should just work out of the box, I think

In actual math, you are correct, but these are baker percentages where flour is always 100% and all other ingredients are relative to the flour.

So a recipe would look like this:

80% White Flour 20% Whole Grain 75% Water 15% Sour Dough Starter 2% Salt

Makes it really simple to scale recipes, you decide how much flour to use, for example 500g it becomes

400g White Flour 100g Whole Grain 375g Water 75g Sour Dough 10g Salt

Pro tip (really more of an amateur tip): Flour is a natural product that varies widely between different regions and there can be large differences in how much water they can hold and how much protein (gluten) it has. Hold back 10-15% of the water at first and only add it bit by bit when the dough feels dense and you think it (and you) can handle it. My biggest beginner mistakes were definetly trying high hydration doughs without the know how of how to handle such doughs and how to tell whether or not the flour could actually hold on to that much water. 65% Hydration can make also make a dope loaf that's much easier to handle
