riskable

To be fair, "avoid change at all costs!" Has been the Republican motto for a long time now. It's right up there with, "ignore reality."

Meh. As long as the lithium battery is as easy to replace as it was to perform other Steam Controller repairs, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Think about how many AA batteries will end up in a landfill over the lifetime of the controller VS the typical lifetime of the lithium battery. The AA batteries lose every time.

Think of it like this: You can replace the battery once every two years (if the controller lasts that long in your sweaty ass hands 🤣) or you can replace the batteries every month... 24 times, adding 48-96 batteries to the landfill in that time.

Because Montunreal was the little engine that could.

The History Channel isn't a history channel!

I had this same thing happen a while back. You know what it was? A bad USB device!

I had a little USB debug probe that went bad (somehow) and it totally screwed up my USB hub's ability to... Stay stable? Haha, that's the best way to put it.

Anyway, the fix was to remove the device and disconnect the USB hub (and its power) for a few seconds. If I ever reconnected the probe, the problem would recur within an hour or two.

Here's how you can check for something similar: Run dmesg and look for regular messages like, "unable to enumerate device". It'll tell you which bus and port it's on but that's not easy to figure out so just keep unplugging things until you get the one matching the device that's regularly throwing errors in dmesg. Keep it disconnected, power everything off (PC, USB hub's, etc) for a few seconds and then try running without that device for a while. It might be the culprit!

Mandate that all data centers be self powered via renewable energy sources already!

Rest of the world: Want to know why US schools have so many shootings? It's not just the availability of weapons (though that's the #1 factor).

Kids are taught from an early age that justice of any kind for their abusers inside school is never going to happen. Any action they take will likely result in expulsion—just like this girl—even for defending themselves.

With the microcosm of a social space that is school, what conclusion do you think kids will come to if they want justice? They don't see any bigger picture than the tiny little place on Earth they've been legally obligated to be inside of until they turn 18.

I've done a 3-hour session playing Beat Saber multiplayer with a friend. It was the most intense workout I've ever experienced.

The only break was in the middle to refill my enormous water bottle and to clean up the huge pool of sweat on the floor that was getting gross (I was wearing socks, LOL).

My arms hurt for like three days straight after that. I still played every night though 😁👍

Just place a fan on the floor in front of you. Bam! No nausea. Because now your body instinctively knows your position and orientation in the space you're in.

It's such a simple thing but it really works!

[waves hand] It's fine. Just have to 3D print the new body and a regulation that requires everyone take a body of the opposite sex. That way trans people can get the right body and the rich can gain some empathy for trans people real fast.

With magnets!

Who needs sexual attraction when you've got magnetic attraction?

I hear that conservatives are repulsed by the idea.
