My 8BitDo Pro 2 has been my go-to controller for months… But it already worked with Steam.

I am hoping this means I can map the few extra buttons that aren’t on an Xbox controller.

Those Firefox figures are abysmal. Argh.

Because expensive headphones tend to have drivers with higher impedance, meaning they produce less volume at the same current versus a lower impedance set.

That’s true for wired headphones, at least. For anything wireless, they have a secondary amplifier not in your phone, so then the phone really really has no idea.

Well now… TIL!

Fair – what I meant was more about the Teams binary kind of not being needed at all (you can use the web version without it). So having a Linux binary explicitly just seems a little weird, marketing aside.

I think MS assumes no one will use it. But having Linux builds of some of their software enhances their “MS loves Linux” marketing.

Teams is another example.

Kicad is up there with the paid options for electronic schematic drafting / PCB design. I don’t use a lot of KDE stuff since I also don’t use KDE, but Kicad is absolutely essential for me.

For those non-USians reading this, the pattern is: states which tend to vote Republican and thus have majority Republican governance. So called “red states”.

Wait, are you saying adding new trade war strain on an already troubled economy wasn’t the right call???!

Disagree hard. Diet and Zero are sweeter than full fat coke. It comes out more with alcohol.

It’s kind of fascinating: the Steam Deck is the only device I can think of with a “halo effect” that doesn’t involve giving a company more money: the ecosystem it pulls you into is an open one, and you don’t even have to have purchased a Deck to jump in based on the idea alone.

Mandrake. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. But I did get it installed.

Something something about showing connections between points in a circle… the chocolate starfish of life.

I don’t disagree with this hot take. But the major difference is the sheer resources needed to have an LLM in place of a “do one thing right” utility like sed. In that sense, they are incomparable.

I’m not sure why any of this is surprising. The US was perfectly fine letting China manufacture all the things. That manufacturing know-how leads to design know-how. The desire by US corporations to keep wages low or eliminate US labor entirely to use outsourced manufacturing leads to this.

It isn’t just military hardware: it is products across entire industries. China is producing good ones, and even when they aren’t, they’re producing them at volumes the US could not dream of touching.

Happens to me all the time on a VPN.

It isn’t every IP. I just change tunnels.

Thanks
