It's not like Australia doesn't have its own problems with cost of living, being essentially still a colony of the US Empire, etc. It's a global empire that has global effects, and just moving doesn't solve anything.

    If you can detect and identify the other devices on the LAN, you know exactly which other smart devices the customer has, and at scale that's very valuable market research. They could probably even start sending ads to customers for an LG replacement if a device drops off the network.

    Yeah. Not sure what it is. It somehow feels more laggy, and for some games I struggle to read what's on the screen sometimes. Plus there's obviously other family members that want to use the TV most of the time. The steam deck really has been the only way I still do any gaming.

    I still have mine too, but I never played too much with it because I just can't do the 'play on the couch' thing or whatever. I was always a keyboard+mouse person. Playing on the steam deck does work for me somehow tho.

    Yep, if history is any guide, Democrats, if they ever get back in power, will want to look forward, not back. They've done that with Nixon, Reagan, the GFC, torture, Trump's whole ass coup, ...

    It just means that the exact same characters will just try again.
