It's currently 20% off on steam. My personal GOTY for sure.
Raspberry pi started as a weird educational side project of a Broadcom engineer, and that enabled them to work with a dirt cheap mass produced SoC for the first iterations. Without broadcom, there would be no raspberry pi. The problem is, it got wildly successful, and moved from side project to actual project that makes money, and education for poor kids wasn't as much of a priority anymore.

FWIW, I'd urge you to give it a try. I generally don't like "horror horror" games and I loved Control. The best TV parallel for me is neither x-files nor twin peaks (though the vibe is undeniably Lynchy) but rather "the lost room" from the early noughties, which is also worth a watch if you haven't seen it and happen to like control's vibe.
Edit: forgot to add, I loved Prey 2017 as well and control is WAY less scary. Once the abilities click, Jesse becomes an unstoppable whirlwind of ripped concrete and office furniture. This is by design, the spoiler is in the name.
Yeah, you're right. I don't have any experience with industrial oil making but that process sounds nasty.
Hey, finally a topic I can contribute something to (I dabble in making my own olive oil).
Depending on what you mean by chemical methods, you might not be 100% correct. The vast majority of food grade olive oil (including really high quality stuff) is extracted by crushing the olives into a mash, mixing it with warm water and spinning the resulting paste in a centrifuge. The quality varies according to the quality of the fruit, when it's picked, how much oil you're trying to squeeze out, and the variables you control are basically the temperature and quantity of water in the mash. It's classified as virgin or extra virgin according to the chemical composition, and the "cold pressed" is more of a marketing term than an actual process. It's nowadays supposed to mean that the mash doesn't get over a certain temperature in the extraction, but if it did it would be poor quality oil anyway, so it's pretty meaningless for "decent or above" oil quality. Purely mechanically pressed oil is exceedingly rare and has a more muted flavor because it skips the process of mixing the mash with water, which activates the aromatic compounds.
Edit: all that being said, the bizarre wording in the meme undoubtedly means that the oil is garbage tier.
Nope, it's a clone device, innioasis y1 I think. I don't think classic ipods supported flac.
Not necessarily my cup of tea, but at two bucks it's basically free, so...
Haagen Dazs never had anything to do with Europe, it was started in the Bronx by a dude that wanted the name to sound posh so he went for a vaguely Danish sounding name.
If a screen is connected that's another thing, though even that can lead to overheating. For example, a lot of modern laptops suck in air through the keyboard and having the lid closed while working messes up their thermal performance, and heats up the screen to an unhealthy degree.
But having it wake up and try installing an update while sitting in a bag, closed and disconnected from a screen, is a straight up fire hazard, and it happened to me multiple times with windows laptops.
I haven't used a mac for over a decade, but for the decade or so before that it never happened to me once, either on an iBook or MBP. Perhaps something changed in the meantime.
It absolutely isn't. If a laptop lid is closed, it needs to be sleeping, period. No random updates, no search indexing. I've also had this happen after explicitly putting laptops into sleep AND closing the lid. No idea how Apple is the only company able to do this consistently.
There's a quote in the text that explains it: "When it was submitted for consideration, a representative of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33."
I'm utterly indifferent both on the merits of the game (it's OK but I'm not spellbound) and genAI in development (as long as it doesn't make it into the finished product) -- just pointing out that those were the rules that Sandfall agreed to.
Well, there's official support for some third party handhelds if I remember correctly? Asus and the like? And they just announced that the steam frame (vr headset) will also run steamos, and that's on a snapdragon ARM SoC. Pretty exciting stuff ahead
It's in the neofetch printout, my dude
Why did they feel the need to replace analog controls with these weird, inconsistently responsive, difficult to map touch controls when every other console platform had already demonstrated why that's a bad idea?
I have no idea what you're talking about. The DS4 had a trackpad that was clearly positioned and intended for menu navigation. Nobody used trackpads as a primary game control input before the SC. That's not because sticks are some god-given pinnacle of technology but because potentiometer-based sticks are cheap and people are used to them. Analog sticks were always, and still are, a crappy way to control a camera. Building a 1:1 thumb based input source into a controller absolutely was innovative and, like it or hate it, I don't see how you can contest that. The Steam Deck's pads are actually pretty great to use.
Playstation and Nintendo and XBox had already demonstrated why you don't build controllers this way ten years earlier.
Again, what are you talking about? The SC was released in 2015.
It’s funny—just a little over five years ago, gamers hated it. Not because they ever used one, but because it was a failure. And as we all know about gamers, there’s nothing they hate more than a failure.
Nice try, but that's not why I hated it.
This smug revisionism triggers me hard. As a hard core steam fan I loved the idea of the SC, I bought it and really tried to use it, but the reality was just too clunky for primary use. It has no dpad, a single crappy convex analog stick, terribly placed ABXY buttons, horrible shoulder buttons, and just a bit too much input lag on the trackpads. On top all that was (actually, still is) a remapping system that's way too convoluted to use regularly. There's also the sad fact that alarmingly many games don't allow simultaneous gamepad and mouse inputs, and simulating the mouse through right stick inputs feels like shit. I really didn't find any use case where it's ergonomically superior to a regular gamepad beside the always cited Civ on the Couch, and I've tried with sooo many games.
The deck's control layout fixes most of the issues -- the placement is better (except maybe the Salvador Dali inspired B button but I digress), there is a great d pad, two pretty good analog sticks and the input is snappier. Surprise surprise, the deck is a success.
Was the SC innovative, bold and ahead of its time in many ways? Sure. Was it a good controller to play games with? Hell no.
