I got an MSI Claw instead of the Steam Deck and I adore it, but the best decision I made was to get a USB-C docking station like the one in the photo. It turns it into a full desktop PC.
Even better is that eventually you can connect an eGPU to that dock to a massive boost when you're at the desk. The Claw has replaced my desktop and laptop.
But you're still coming in to work, right?
Ten years? Up until recently I had a Core2Duo with 1GB RAM running Qobus in as a jukebox in the bedroom. But now he's gone, off to a better place, where he can finally rest. By which I mean I upgraded to 4GB and installed at a relative's house running Home Assistant.
My neck: long, pale, displayed proudly Einstein's neck: obscured by shadow, probably ashamed
The 3½" floppy disc icon means he has the most important thing, the thing women crave, the thing that drives all women crazy with lust: a vast and meticulously organised collection of fully working computers and consumer electronics from the 80s and 90s.
Can confirm. I'm currently at Tim Horton's and there's no rice growing.
Any IT department worth their salt will have solved this problem years ago. It's hard to explain if you've never managed Windows in an enterprise setting but there's a reason that profit-hungry corporations all use Windows. Here's the full process for getting any Windows laptop to work perfectly:
If they have a channel supplier that offers 'white glove' service they don't even need to do that and they can even have brand new laptops drop-shipped to a user at home without ever needing to touch it. And if that laptop fucks up down the line it can just be wiped and as soon as Windows connects to the Internet it can automatically re-enrol itself into the organisation's management system.
Depending on the store TGTT bags can be amazing or... not so much. One store near me will always include fresh fruit, veg, meats, rolls, cans... another will just hand over a bag with like ten kilos of sliced ham in it.
TGTT with a freezer is a game-changer, though.
Yeah, that's not a straw, though. It's like a redwood. A forest of redwoods.
Yeah, it's kinda like how you can go years without hearing any stories about someone winning a medal at the Olympics then suddenly the news is full of stories about people winning Olympic medals. Clearly it's a conspiracy.
The UK is currently experiencing some prolonged windy weather and my all-renewable energy provider offers dynamic pricing. That means cheap energy and even negative-cost energy. This is where my HA instance shines and saves me a fortune on my power bill. Thanks again to the HA devs for this incredible project.
For the curious, I'm using bottlecapdave's excellent Home Assistant Octopus Energy integration via HACS.
The apartment blocks - two of perhaps a hundred - are surrounded by open greenery, wide walkways and dense tram networks. Most of them have café bars, bookstores, grocery stores or the like on the ground level and loads of benches, play areas and exercise equipment dotted about. The place is rife with Third Places.
The remarkable thing about these is that, to the locals, they seem fairly unremarkable.
Year of Hell is one. The episode where they discover that the entire ship and crew are replicas and they're slowly coming apart is another.
