I'm torn between my dislike of the CCP, and really wanting an EV for $12k.
From reading the article, I get the impression that this bill is mostly about them wanting to be able to arrest protesters who wear masks to hide their identity.
Which is still really shitty, to be clear.
I don't think it will, at least not to the extent that some past tech trends like blockchain did. Right now companies are still in the "throw AI at everything and see what works" phase, which will definitely pass. But even if AI never improves from this point I still suspect it will find a permanent place being used for generating spam and porn.
This wasn't on my radar at all, but Second Wind's Bytesize review was so positive about it that it got me interested.
"Farmer Geddon" sounds like Armageddon, which is the end or the world.
This is pretty great news honestly. I see a lot of pushback against AI, but realistically I don't think there's any chance of getting companies to stop AI development.
If it's going to infect every part of our lives either way, I'd much rather we focus on making it actually widely available to individuals, where people can use it privately for their own benefit, rather than it being one more way that tech giants take control of our lives.
Most PC games probably won't support multitouch, I'd guess you're most likely to find it in games that have a phone version (or started as a phone game).
I don't know of a good way to identify those games though. My best guess is to look at some of the curated lists of touchscreen friendly games (example 1, example 2) and look for games that are available as a mobile title and would benefit from multitouch support.
I'm not really sure if I count as having an inner voice thinker or not. I definitely use an inner voice when composing verbal/written thoughts, and when I'm trying to remember something specific. However trying to pay attention to my inner thought process makes it seem like my thoughts are mostly non-verbal with occasional sporadic words thrown in? It feels like the more relaxed I am the fewer words there are.
Only 1-3% of people lack the ability to visualize images in their head.
Somewhat related, I recently realized I can't really remember the taste of food at all. I can remember the texture of the food, and whether I liked it or not, but not how it actually tastes. For example, I know I like chocolate but I have no desire to eat it most of the time because I can't remember anything about the taste except for the texture. But once I start eating chocolate and have the taste lingering in my mouth, I find myself craving more of it until the taste fades and I forget what it tasted like again.
For frame rate, I would recommend the settings presented in this video. The video has chapters, so you can jump straight to the recommended setting section. They include battery saver, recommended (40fps), or prettiest (30fps). The higher fps setting may help with combat, but the game is meant to be hard and very punishing. A lot of the game comes from trial and error, and steadily improving your playing and pattern recognition.
For messages, it's possible a graphical setting might help, but otherwise the deck has a built in magnification tool that may help you. Normally you hold down either the steam button or the ". . ." Button and then press L1 to turn on the magnifier, but if you're using it frequently you can also bind one of the back buttons to magnify. I would also recommend setting some of the back buttons to toggle between potions and drink them, I found that to be very helpful when playing.
To be fair, that's the low power Ally with a pretty significant 20% off sale.
I'm not well educated on the power difference, but a quick google search shows the cheaper Ally gets about 60% the benchmarked performance of the more expensive Ally when plugged in. There's also a significant drop when not plugged in, but less severe (only about a 20% drop in fps). Source
I suppose the real question is how does it compare to a Steam Deck at that price, and if the drop in power is worth the price difference.
If a company isn't willing to support steam deck/Linux through an easier support option like proton, I highly doubt they'll be willing to support it with higher effort native ports.
