It'll probably work like the steam deck in desktop mode when steam isn't running- a basic default profile takes over. To change anything on that profile or to have any advanced features would require steam input.

ROCm is their CUDA-like and imo it's been a buggy mess, and I'm talking bugs that make your entire system lock up until you hard reboot. Same with their media encoders. Vulkan compute is starting to recieve support by stuff like llama.cpp and ollama and I've had way better luck with that on non-nvidia hardware. Probably for the best that we have a single cross-vendor standard for this.

To each their own. If anything I tend to go farther, like using different tints for async vs sync functions in python and gdscript.

What'd be nice would be easier customization of these rules in your ide, like quick email rule creation in Outlook. Select what you want to alter, the rule modal shows you a couple options for targeting, then you can apply whatever highlighting you want.

On top of removing ads and giving you a couple extra minor features, it also has a way better rev split with creators (last I heard). Half of the sub gets divvied up to the people you watched that month, portioned out via watch time.

I made this argument in a paper I wrote for a college economics class. I had first hand experience with it because I had recently done the math and figured that I would have to stop my flexible contracting job and seek more traditional employment as I was going to lose my parents insurance and the 'open market' option was unaffordable. Ended up being the reason that I dropped out of college.

When I went back to college to finish my degree, some of my classes used online textbooks from a couple different systems. Most had a simple link to a glossary for key terms, but some took it a bit farther and had a nice pop-over widget. The nice ones also had the ability for you to highlight and annotate passages for your own notes. It's less fun though, if you're like me and have a hard time reading long-form content on a laptop or phone. I ended up getting one of those eink Android tablets to make it easier for me to get through the reading.

Shame is that monetization around them is even more exploitative than normal textbooks. You don't own them, so you can't keep or resell them once you're done, and you typically lose access to it about a week after the class ends. Many courses also issue assignments and grades through the e-textbook, so you're forced to buy it at a price they decide. Fortunately work reimbursed mine.

In my area when National Grid abandoned our local power station they sabotaged it before ditching it on the city. Now we got an abandoned hulk that's an environmental and economic disaster and will require millions to dismantle or repurpose.

Mk4 or Mk4s would be the current one, or wait for the new core one

It can help a bit but it's not a magic bullet. You're usually not using that much plastic in infill to do a full purge, and the current implementation doesn't add more infill if there's more purge needed. Toolchangers stand to benefit the most from it since they only need to purge enough to prime the nozzle again.

There's also a side problem I've noticed with purge to infill, it's way less forgiving if your filament has too much colorant or you have your purge amounts wrong. Having a perfect print that had it's colors bleed sucks.

We recently started enforcing a policy of scanning external media before letting it be usable by the system and the time it takes for MBAM to scan a flash drive takes so long it's driven the most complaints of any IT policy change we've made. Some people are just so latched on to that floppy disk lifestyle that the only change to their workflow in decades has been what part of the computer they put their storage in.

There's a large creek that feeds into lake Erie nearby that we used to hike and swim for several miles until we got to the lake. It was an all day affair, but it was a great time. Our dog at the time was a lab shepherd mix and I think those hikes were some of the best times of his life, getting to explore and swim and run like a goof. I don't ever want to live in a place without good access to large bodies of water, summers wouldn't be the same without it.

For me, I run to wikis most often to get numbers. It's frustrating how far some games go to hide exactly how much faster an upgrade will make you, or what the fuck a status effect means. Dead by Daylight had this problem for a long time until they finally put numbers in perk descriptions. Risk of Rain 2 half implemented a good solution- tooltip style descriptions when you hover over items or terms, but it's not applied universally or more confusingly, not on the status effect icons that appear in a run.

Almost always at our company it's because of a push by a higher up who won't be the one staying late when it all blows up. It's bad management at it's finest.

Also, Monday releases usually suck as well. We shoot for Tuesday launches, since Mondays are usually when people are catching up on busy work, or most often out sick. Besides, it gives everyone a chance to review their launch obligations, do final pre-launch checks, and an opportunity to make a go/no go call during work hours, if you shoot for morning launches.
