Balanced news reporting [@twisteddoodles]

Maybe this is more an issue with my regional news... but my issue is less about the idiots - it's when the news does a story where they interview some well-meaning but not media trained person (like a progressive activist at a protest), but then for "balance", they bring in the fucking CEO of Orphan Crushing Inc. to eloquently say why having morals is evil and why the oppressors are actually the victims here. And then give him 90% of the screen time because he's the "expert"

The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame.

Plenty of comments have already addressed the touchpads. But the other thing that only the steam deck does right now, is the symmetrical joysticks at the top of the device. Personally, I find having the right joystick farther down on a heavy handheld absolutely brutal for ergonomics, and it's the reason I never touch my Switch Lite

So recently, McDonald's came out with their "Minecraft Movie" meals - kinda like a happy meal, but it came with a whole-ass Big Mac. I find this so funny because essentially, they're admitting that they've shrinkflation'd their food so badly that their flagship burger is now so small, it's suitable for kids who are young enough to want the Minecraft theme and toys!!

Totally understand the skepticism, though this guy puts about as much due diligence into the video as one could hope for - near the end he's trying to conduct a double-blind clinical trial!

I'm not fully in the loop, but I believe Bambu is pretty blatant about taking everything from the open source community and never giving back. And Josef Prusa even claims that Bambu Labs intentionally uploaded stolen models to Prusa's site, Printables, in order to see how Prusa handles it - so Bambu can reverse engineer Prusa's internal processes and clone them to Bambu's new website, MakerWorld

Suffering Rule

Ever since I saw the Chubbyemu YouTube video of a guy chowing down on 1200 ibuprofen in a single month and living through it, I'm no longer afraid to pop one or two on an achey day

A sacrifice for the greater good

From my knowledge, it's kinda the opposite - when a device first runs out of battery, it's almost always the case that only one of the batteries is truly dead. So if you find that one dead battery and swap it out, you'll be good again for a surprisingly long while
