Disney climbed the ladder of public domain and then pulled the ladder up behind themselves.

On Steamdeck, I haven’t tried multiple controllers, but with one, it has been rather seamless for both the PS5 and the Stadia controller. They are both Bluetooth, and when I turn them on they just work. That said, the original SteamDeck(which is what I have) doesn’t support CEC or Bluetooth waking, so the Switch wins out on automatically turning on and switching my TV’s input. The OLED SteamDeck is supposed to fix that, but I’m not paying for a replacement until this one dies or a SteamDeck 2 comes along.

I might give this a try. I use Google Wallet for my various loyalty cards and whatnot, but it is actually a poor UI for it, mixing credit cards and loyalty cards in a single sideway sliding interface that takes forever to find what you want.

For sure, that’s what it is designed for. A proper remote desktop system would need to be able to support low bandwidth links and gracefully drop frames if latency is high or bandwidth is low.

VNC might have seen improvements over the years, but last time tried it, it didn’t handle high resolution/detail well at all. RDP can stream practically any media in close to real time, as to where VNC really broke down if you tried to change too much of the screen at once. Ideally, there’d probably be a new open screen sharing standard that used modern encoding and decoding to allow for high bandwidth connections smoothly. Moonlight gets close, but isn’t really designed as an RDP/VNC replacement.

I have recently, but it was Call of Duty with their kernel level anti-cheat. Not really a problem, I just had an excuse to say no to the friends who wanted to play. If I really wanted to, I could have switched over to the PS5 to play.

I don’t want to let nations off the hook for being bastards, but the technical incomlktence of both our core infrastructure and the tools that support them is also astounding.

I agree. The hardware was out of date before it was released. The controls were poorly placed to make the joycon gimmick work. It was designed for little kids hands and didn’t offer a solution for adults. The steamdeck really highlighted all these problems by doing it better day one. But for the target demo of the switch, very little of that mattered, and it was a great success. I just hope the Switch 2 learns from these mistakes and doesn’t repeat them.

It can be done, but it makes a worse product. EVs are built to fit batteries and motors in the most optimal place. Likewise with ICE cars with engines and transmissions. What you end up doing is shoving batteries in the engine compartment which is shaped wrong and you significantly change the balance of the car. You leave much of the expensive parts of the ICE car, while adding more expensive parts. It just doesn’t work well in practice. If you are going to spend time engineering, it is better to engineer a proper EV than try to shoehorn an EV into a size 6.

Both cursed and nice. If you plan is to have a box for emulating old games, it is really a great theme for it.

Draw.io has that option for PNGs as well. Pretty fantastic if you want to pass around a file anyone can view, but still be editable.

You are correct, TreestyleTabs was my jam for years, but I have moved over to Sidebery because it performs better and has better support for containers, as well as being considerably more customizable.

Not at all. Just managing clients stuff on portals that don’t allow for delegated access to a single account.

Not the person you replied to, but I can help with an example:

1. I have the browser reopen the tabs I had open last time, but keeps unloaded until I click on them.
2. The tabs are in a tree hierarchy, meaning I can collapse an entire group while keeping them all open.
3. My work involves juggling up to 50 different accounts each for a hand full of websites, so containers allow me to quickly swap between accounts signed into the same page.

I agree that userChrome.css must be modified, but once it is, Firefox is way better for vertical tabs. When you mix in the tree style that is common in the extensions and containers, there is nothing that competes, especially if you work involves managing a large number of accounts for the same few websites, as mine does. It is not uncommon for me to have 10-20 active tabs, and 80+ inactive tabs at any given time. Horizontal tabs can’t compete, and the flat nature of the tabs in Edge certainly turn into a mess quickly.

That is specifically not true of Apple. They don’t make drivers for Linux, and often change components which means there are several Apple devices that are really hard to run Linux on. The touchbar MacBooks are a nightmare for Linux, and the ARM Macs are slowly getting support, but it is sub par last I looked.

There is a place for using LLMs to fluff up text or help with translation, but you shouldn’t by copy/pasting blindly, or just scripting it out 100%.

The true failure here is Amazon, who takes no responsibility for what they sell. They let anyone anyone create a product listing with no oversight.

They do have an Asset Library currently, but it is all free, thus not a store.

Thanks, that helps. I shared this with the mspgeek.org community to see if anyone else is seeing it.

Do yours have an onmicrosoft.com account CC’d? Both cases we have seen have had a different onmicrosoft.com account CC’d.
