Warehouse job maybe? Needed some cash to hold me over a few years ago while studying. The "interview" was not much more than just completing some employment forms...

It's quite intensive though, you're on your feet for the entire shift. Wear garden gloves, or something protective on your hands, because the repeated handling of the boxes & rolling shrink wrap does cause injury.

A lot of the libcamera work done on Raspberry Pi boards is going towards improving the camera support on linux phones like the PinePhone, which is great!

Aside from that, sadly a lot of people (including myself) are kind of fed up with Raspberry Pi, after they essentially abandoned their mission during Covid to please corporations, and are preparing to go public despite being a "charity". Broadcom, their SoC supplier, also has left a sour taste in my mouth after their purchase and mass layoffs at VMWare.

If they created a phone it would likely end up being scalped to death, and maybe pretty pricey compared to a PinePhone

Sounds similar to a mobility scooter, but more practical for carrying much heavier loads.

I'd prefer a cargobike personally, but most of the ones I like are too heavy to move when you're not riding it, let alone with a 1/4 ton load. Those also can't fit into most apartments, you've got to leave them outside or in bicycle storage...

This kart/NEV thing kind of seems like a good compromise, with quadricycle vans possibly being an alternative option if you aren't carrying people

Mine was fine with me using a rooted Android after an in person meeting - they just provided me a hardware 2FA device to use instead.

As long as your bank is as understanding, you could use Waydroid or their PWA on a GNU/Linux device

I carry my bicycle into buildings wherever permitted, and make full use of the free staffed bicycle parking & free bus whenever possible. I also have 24/7 keyfob access to secure basement parking at my local train station (did require proof of address + one time fee to sign up). See if you can contact your local municipality as they may have something similar in operation.

Before that, I experienced one attempted theft. At the time my bicycle was locked with just an Axa wheel plug-in chain combo lock (very rare in this country) which is built in to the frame.

Came back to see it on the floor with the electronics gutted: no camera, lights, or bike computer. It was dark and luckily I had emergency lights in my backpack to ride home safely. Reported to police, I tracked down some of the stolen stuff online, and even the shop they were sold to (called to verify), provided serial numbers, police did nothing.

Since the attempted theft I use two D-locks in addition to the built-in one, and have quick release mounts on all my bicycle electronics. I miss when I was studying at university and could leave my bicycle outside the library all night with just a cable lock, with no worries

That's not lemmy world, that's the bot configuration for a specific community, chosen by the moderators of that community

Steam Input integration with the touchpads is so underrated, mode shifting between a keypad and game commands is something that literally nothing else can replicate. Not to mention the dual haptic feedback, and accurate pressure sensing. Really opens up a world of possibilities

Wish Valve considers a Steam Controller 2 with the game guts as the controller in the Deck. Despite the Deck taking heavy inspiration from the OG controller, the difference in experience is night and day

What install method did you use? Aur/Flatpak/Binary (DDL)?

Not the commenter you replied to, but these kinds of systems are usually "fail open": if there is unexpected loss of power (including the locking mechanism connection to the controller being interrupted), the door is released/unlocked, and can be opened manually by users.

Some more complex systems will have specific doors automatically shut in the event of a fire to try and keep it contained, depending on local regulations. These doors can still be manually re-opened, but they will not "catch" or latch open until the system fault is resolved

Edit: add clarity

Literally. It even extends to other Lithium based chemistries too, like LiFePo4.

It's not like this information is hiding either - ask a battery manufacturer/distributor for a Li-ion cell's charge cycle data, what you'll find is most manufacturers only guarantee 300-500 cycles before the battery has lost 80% of its usable capacity at 100% DoD and charging to the 100% SoC voltage. Decreasing just the maximum SoC to 90% brings massive battery longevity gains, where estimated cycles increase to 1000 (and beyond in some cases), while still retaining over 80% of the battery's usable capacity.

All my personal devices that I've checked sadly target 100% SoC voltage and charge rate, without regard for the longevity of the battery. Just seems almost like they've just punched in the numbers from the "ABSOLUTE MAX RATINGS" part of the datasheet and called it a day.

It's a little disappointing that a lot of people are under the belief that their product has been designed to last as long as it can, when in most cases this intentionally or accidentally isn't the case right now, in industries outside of backup power and EVs

Annoyingly well. If you turn on your Xbox controller accidentally, it'll power on the Steam Deck (same behavior as the discontinued Steam Link). Very handy for a lounge/bedroom setup though if you use your deck docked.

You can also hold down the Xbox button to see the shortcuts for things like the main menu, the QAM, taking screenshots

All BMSs I've come across have this disabled by default sadly, manufacturers seem to target longest device runtime, rather than extended battery longevity

On my FP3 it needs to be enabled in a terminal, while rooted (newer devices have it in the settings).

On my Steam Deck it also needs to be enabled in a terminal, the exact command differs depending on the model of steam deck. An embedded developer or tinkerer will find it very quickly in the kernel sysfs though.

Edit: Apple and Lenovo are the only companies I'm aware of, who have historically cared for the internal batteries in certain models of their laptops. Macbook Pros in particular used to behave differently when they reach 90%, some will stop charging and others will wait a few hours then resume charging to 100% depending on how the machine is used. I assume this is the only reason why my 2012 MBP still is going great on its original battery, running Linux of course.

Lenovo used to let you configure the charge preferences in the BIOS of their ThinkPad line

This was a decade ago though, can't vouch for whether this applies to the modern stuff too
