First of all...

White House officials installed Gregg Phillips at FEMA in December, despite his history of promoting election conspiracy theories

You mean because of, not "despite."

Second, it's almost kind of a shame, because (at least so I'd heard) once he got into the job he realized FEMA actually wasn't a scam and started trying to run it well. Probably the real reason he got ousted.

I think the creature comforts of steamos do stand out. Easy menu for system level FSR for example. Resume game from shutdown looks great too.

Sure, but you can (allegedly -- I haven't actually tried) get that on any AMD system, not just the Steam Machine.

Election fraud. Not "voter" fraud. The former is when politicians/bureaucrats rig the system to cheat, whereas the latter is overwhelmingly a fictional boogeyman invented to spread FUD and/or misdirect attention away from the former.

Personally, I’m curious how they intend to apply this to states like mine, where all ballots are mailed.

...probably reduce voter turnout significantly.

Asked and answered.

and I will likely not have to tinker much to get a solid experience.

I'm sure the Steam Machine will be fine, but I reject the notion that that differentiates it from any other AMD-based PC running Linux. My AMD-based Linux PC as built a year ago (which is faster than a Steam Machine, BTW) didn't require much tinkering, and neither did my previous AMD-based Linux PC built about eight years ago. Proton didn't exist back then, but as soon as it came out it basically had zero problems related to the hardware (as opposed to incompatibilities caused by the lack of maturity of the software itself). With AMD, Linux basically Just Works, and has done for many, many years.

(Also, you don't have to spend a lot to get a reliable 3D printer. You just have to pay attention to product reviews and such. I've got a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE, which was generally considered to be the "best" inexpensive printer as of a few years ago, and it's been fine. The tradeoff for the low price is lack of fancy features like an enclosure or multiple extruders, not reliability.)

They don't have to rebuild the intersection; they just have to redo the signal timing so that the thru green for the bike lane isn't in the same phase as the right turn green for the general purpose lane. (Okay, so they might have to add a right arrow signal head too. Still, cheaper than new pavement.)

They just don't want to do it because it would probably reduce level of service for cars and they don't care enough about cyclists' safety to make that trade-off.

IMO that is sheer incompetence on the part of the traffic engineer who designed it.

Also, some people are willing to pay a premium for good looks and/or HDMI CEC.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

That seems likely, yes, but you don't know for sure without CFD or wind tunnel testing. It could be that there's some weird detail with the fastback that somehow manages to make it worse.

I do if I want to take it on proper off-road trails, mudding and rock-crawling and such.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
