I have not switch over my Steamdeck to Windows 11. But, I did pick up an ROG Ally b/c I apparently lack impulse control. IMO, the experience with Steam OS on Steam deck is far and above Windows 11 on a similar-ish handheld.

I think it's more nuanced than that. Personally, there are a couple of reasons for me. Though, I have already purged my account and deleted it. First, I spent a long time on Reddit. It was a part of my daily habits for more than 12 years. Though, I think getting a way from it is not a bad thing in the case of the reason. The second reason that is more difficult to change with anything other than time is the communities. There are a lot of smaller niche communities on Reddit that really only have a home there. It's this one that bothers me the most out of the whole situation.

You owe KDE a second look if it's been that long.

WFH can enable flexibility on both parts. But, it's highly variable depending on the employer. I might be able to slip out and go to a dentist appointment in the middle of the day without using comp leave, etc. If the employer allows me that flexibility, I may be more willing to be more flexible to respond to an email or a message after hours on occasion. The flexibility is give and take between the employer and the employee.

Now, I understand that not everyone wants that. For me personally with kids to deal with and family things that come up here and there, I much prefer the flexibility and the occasional work evening that's a bit later or the occasional work morning that's a bit earlier. Then I can save my comp leave time for when my kids are out of school or I want to plan a vacation rather than using it up on the small trivial things throughout the year.

Honestly, it's highly variable. Generally speaking, more populated areas tend to have much better options for internet and in some large markets even have a degree of competition.

In my case, I live in a town of only 180k or so people. At my home, I am able to get 1.2 gbps download from Comcast. They are the only option in my direct vicinity with this much bandwidth. The alernative is AT&T with only DSL as an option. I don't remember the top tier. But, it's considerably slower at maybe 100 mbps or something like that.

I'm on 128 on my phone. I just checked and both of those are disabled for me.

That's not totally accurate. It was initially a symbiotic relationship. Linus was providing marketing for NCIX as well in the early days. That does not detract from the reality that LTT would be nothing without the early support of NCIX.

Such a good song. I have not thought about or listened to that song or album in at least a decade. Thanks for the reference to rekindle my fond memories. Time to go listen to some Bad Religion... :-)

I have a 10" Chuwi Minibook X. It's basically my go to when I go to my kids activities. For me, it's a better alternative than a phone or my tablet. It's small when folded up and weighs very little. The luggability is surprisingly better than my Framework 13. Plus, I have a real keyboard instead of a touchscreen that is surprisingly much better than I expected . That's handy for when I do want to do something more productive. And since it only cost me about $300 or so, I'm much less worried about it getting damaged.

I wouldn't just carry it around with me randomly in public. But, I could if I wanted to. It's a shame there are so few options like it. One of my biggest factors I was looking for was weight and overall footprint.

I went on a long search for anything that had some similarity to the series. To be honest, it's hard since "The Expanse" series is an interesting combination of a few different things that make it unique.

But, I did eventually find a few other series that had their own unique qualities that managed to leave me with a similar feeling when completed. Most recently, the Dead Empire's Fall Trilogy from Walter Jon Williams (and the second trilogy in the same universe). But, I was also really impressed with John Scalzi's Interdependency Trilogy as well. And lastly, the Murderbot Diaries from Marth Wells was a whole bucket of interesting twist on a scifi world that left a truly unique impression on me. Though, the last example is still not complete with a new book coming out this year or next year I think.

I'm sorry to hear that! My PCP referred me to testing based on a very short conversation and ultimately just because I wanted to be tested and know. I hope you can find a better doctor!

It's not per day. The number is cumulative.

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

How do they handle the web portal login requirement that hotels typically have?

Ah, that's a good point. I was clearly wrong with my comment. Apologies! With your correction on my interpretation, these numbers look unusually off....

Your comment about Subaru is not true across the board. I have a 2023 Ascent that has very limited physical buttons. The same infotainment system and setup is now on the Outback as well.

That's great news! I intend to watch it closely as it progresses. Thank you for sharing the links.

I had 5 monitors for a bit before changing to a 32:9 monitor for my main monitor which gives me the equivalent of 4 monitors.

As long as the monitors are setup right (e.g. leveraging vertical space and not just horizontal space), I find the desktop real estate to be invaluable.

But, I started doing dual monitors over 20 years ago. So, I'm an early evangelist of multi-monitor and have adopted workflows that greatly benefit from it.
