EU Planning New Affordable EV Class to Counter China

Skill is such a dumb take on ABS. You cannot adapt to every single situation by "driving according to the conditions". An animal could jump in front of you in the dark. Unless you are literally driving at walking pace there is no chance ABS wouldn't help you in such a situation if it is icy. Just because you have been lucky through life doesn't take away the fact that there are some situations where safety systems will be better. ABS and ESP are significant safety improvements that come with little associated cost.

There are handcrafted locations scattered across the galaxy, they are worth a visit. Just touching down on a planet and mindlessly explore is pointless IMO. Especially since the POI on planets aren't even persistent. If you land at the same location several times, there will be different POI showing on the radar. All random, except for the ones possible to scan from space.

While I get your sentiment, AI is different. They are making significant investments into hardware and real estate hoping to turn that into improvements of their models at significant cost. It is however only based on hopes and dreams that those will be realized. They are bleeding money for it and did not seem likely to reach break even ever.

PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop"

I'm not sure I follow the question. I'll try to list the steps.

  1. Install distro
  2. Install steam
  3. Mount NTFS drive
  4. Add steam library in NTFS drive (point to existing Window library)
  5. Let steam recognize the game and install potentially missing files
  6. Create EXT4 partition disk (preferably done already when installing distro)
  7. If EXT4 game partition is not main drive, mount it and create steam library on it
  8. Move game files.

Hopefully that makes sense. Somewhere along the way steam will probably install Proton as well. It might work straight from NTFS too, maybe? But I didn't get it to on Linux Mint
