Read, knitting/crochet, sleep, listen to music, play games (eg. emulator + pokemon games), study, read a newspaper, do crosswords, play chess online, watch a movie, listen to a podcast, learn a language, talk to other non-scrolling people, and yes, you can also stare outside, daydream or self-analyze, or even do nothing. Just a few decades ago we had a lot of dead times, it's not that crazy to pass an hour without having anything to do.

From the FAQs:

> Is this the Valve console? > > We think of Steam Machine as an extension of PC gaming, not as a console. > > The traditional console model is to sell hardware at a loss and make up the revenue with subscription services or by selling games that are locked-in to the hardware. We think this can make sense for a single business in the short term but that open ecosystems are better for customers over the long term. PC gaming's history proves this: The openness of the PC gaming space has enabled it to be the primary driver of hardware and software innovation for decades. > > The strength of PC gaming is the ability to play the games you want on the hardware you want. Steam Machine is a solution to these problems (and we think it's a great one), but it's not the only solution, and we don't want it to be.

I was thinking the same. Furthermore you have the `-e` flag which lets you install the tool in editable mode, meaning that they are run directly and thus any edit you make will be present when you use the tool.

The only thing that you need to be aware of is that if you add another package or change it's version you need to reinstall the tool. I would suggest first removing it with `uv tool uninstall $NAME` and then reinstall it.

Any chance you could add a video showcasing the plugin? I don't have any agentic app but I would love to see an example of what it does!

Curiously, I have had the exact opposite experience. Over the years I tried dozens of earbuds and headphones with a jack connection and all of them after a few months of use started getting unreliable connections unless I kept them at the right angle. The pair which lasted longer without issues costs around 180€ but still started showing problems after 2-3 years, though to be fair I left them almost always plugged in my pc. If I had used them with my phone I would've likely started experiencing connection issues much sooner.

The only other connection type I found to be even worse is microusb. I lost count over how many cables I had to change, some even after just a few months. On the other hand I neved had any problem with usb-c cables or peripherals.

I feel the same. I don't particularly mind if a developer overrides the scrollbar, and I would actually argue that in this case it was a good way to present the story and overall I liked it, but you need to do it right. If the sites becomes all clunky, it stutters, and you get text popping up a while after you scrolled, then it's better to focus on the performance and leave aside the animations.

I don't know if the engineering field has the same conventions, but in biology we use "fold" as it was used in the paper. When comparing the signal of two things, the fold change is how many times one is bigger than the other (basically A/B). If A is 15-fold higher than B then it's 15x B.

What you described is the Log2 Fold Change (log2(A/B)), meaning that if A has a log2FC of 15 over B, its signal is 2^15 times higher, hence ≈32,000x.

Can you set a restriction so that each user cannot change the email if it has already been changed during the last hour/day? In this way you won't need to ban IPs while still allowing legitimate users to change their emails or to create new accounts.
