That's fucked up on so many levels. Any of the people involved could have stopped it from getting this far.

But apparantly "Who polices the state?" remains an open question and there will be little to no consequences for anyone other than the principal.

Yes, the thruster suit is better than the power armor when you first unlock it. But you'll eventually get better power armor again so swapping starts to make sense later.

Dyson sphere program. You just need a little bit of space to be able to retroactively add belts into existing stuff because of the 3d belt placement and logistic drones are cheap, so you can ship loads of stuff with them. It lends itself wonderfully to spaghetti factories, which is my favorite kind of factory.

It's also absolutely beautiful. You can just stop and watch the glowy cubes flow at night or witness an incredible sunrise over the factory. And that gets better as you progress because, well, you're building a dyson sphere.

So does my steam deck. Even 80 hours into space exploration, it runs without a hitch and the fan is only audible when I ride a rocket to another map.

I tried building a grid with two-lane intersections, my trains weren't able to plan routes where they need to go around a grid cell and turn around (which was definitely possible without using the same rail twice), then I tried troubleshooting it for 1-2 hours and decided to give up on trains until I need them to bring in ore from far away.

That part is stupid indeed. If you run X, do xinput and find your trackpad. Then do xinput list-props on that to see all the settings there are. Xinput can also change them with xinput set-prop and they reset after a reboot, so feel free to fiddle around.

Once you're done, just slap your settings into a script and run that on startup, then you're set.

I agree that it goes against their core values, but they have shitloads of internal sensors that could be used very unethically.

I've been using it for a while now but I struggled at the start because I tried doing windows things, but on linux. Thinking about what I actually use my software for and searching for software that way is much better than trying to find alternatives to windows stuff. A video on that with some examples would be great.

I'd recommend against Sony IEMs. I know multiple people who got theirs replaced under warranty (WF-1000XM4 and 5), one of them twice. They tend to not last for very long.

I have some WH-1000XM4 over-ears and they're not terrible, but not worth the money either. They need an equalizer to sound decent.

But before you buy anything: Can you wear IEMs comfortably for a long time? I got some weirdly shaped ears and horrible earwax, so I don't bother with those at all.

This has been memed about forever, no one knows what the majority does.

These things feel like they are made by microsoft. You click somewhere, wait 3-10 seconds and then you can click again.

It has to be more sophisticated than that. Otherwise users could easily taint the datasets by giving wrong answers on purpose.

It probably checks your answer against the current model's best guess and if it's close enough, you get a pass and your input is added to the training data for the next iteration. The more wrong you are, the more challenges you get.
