I no longer get excited about a new Veritasium video.
I also don't get excited when the title and thumbnail change 5 times in a week.

If you had to replace the floppy disk save symbol in software with a new symbol for saving what would you choose and why?
You can't just jump to the future, so use this one for the next decade:

The fuck is this?
Did you know that a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)?
Because this ai really wants you to know that

You could make a 1:1 map on some countries
Bit ironic that the max size is measured in inches and the overlay is shown on Europe

Have to say, the steamdeck has been great for this.
Pick up exactly where you left off, press the sleep button to pause exactly where you are. I tend to play on story mode now because I don't have time to grind and just want to experience the game.
Sits beside the bed so once the kids have been put to bed and if there's down time it's pick up and go.

Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base
No source for the blog post. Here it is: windows blog
Note that the number has been updated, and at the bottom they state that that figure has been updated.
The original text said 'over a billion'. 1.4 billion is over a billion.

'No point making a high-spec Steam Machine,' Larian publishing boss says, because anyone who wants a powerful PC is going to look elsewhere anyway
Reply in thread
Isn't that what they're saying?
If you want high power, build yourself or turn a pre-built into a steam machine.
If you just want to pick up something that works a-la stream deck, grab this and go. It's not competing with the high end market.

The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact
Choice to do what?
These are their two points:
Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable. In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.
I feel like the first is fair enough at the moment, but with accompanying laws it could be resolved. Eg once a developer enacts an end of life plan, their legal culpability is removed. Plus give the right tools for moderation and the community can take care of it.
Second is just a cop out I think. "Many titles are designed from the ground up to be online only" - that's the whole point. It's not retroactive, so you don't need to redesign an existing game. But going forward you would need to plan for the eventual end of life. Developers have chimed in that it can be done.

Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds

Not really an 'internet' world speed record, but really a wired data transmission record if I'm reading correctly.

What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?

Spoilers?: My biggest gripe too..I finished it, and the ending I chose felt like a 20 min long unskippable cut scene. Never mind the actual 20min long unskippable cut scene in the middle.
