I believe GamersNexus were talking about doing more exhaustive testing across different brands after their video on LG models specifically.

I think the GP more meant the practice that some ISPs have of shipping default routers that may or may not be able to be replaced with a separate SSID that is publicly available for use by other customers of that ISP.

Not "my network has a default or empty password, I can't make people sign in again."

There's also clip(.exe) on every version of Windows I've bumped into recently.

Yes, based on previous experience with this sort of delisting happening.

1 in 1,000,000 (or something) folk can't get past typing CLI commands in haiku form.

That doesn't mean there's any sense in adapting terminals for haiku usage.

Absolutely a tongue-in-cheek example, but "there's something for everyone" doesn't mean that something is something everyone should implement.

There's also a fantastic plugin specifically for the Steam Deck that adds a bunch of excellent functionality.

Also frustrating when a company adds it after you register, e.g. Spotify allowed me to use spotify@ at one point, now I can't register anything with that word in .

I feel like that ChainsawMassacre channel on YouTube is an example of what happens when The Brand attempts to lengthen their content.

I feel like there's a distinction between _learning something_ from reading a book and remembering plot details.

I am awful at remembering names and characters from books. I'm all good while I'm reading them, but if you asked me "What did you think of John's situation in $BookX" I would find it hard to answer. That said, it all goes into the gestalt jumble of ideas that is me.

I'll say that I mostly read comparitively low-effort fiction that people rarely "test me" on, so it possibly matters less.

Yow, I hadn't realised that twist. Having just read the JetBrains documentation around it, I don't like that.

It's worth noting that this feature is available, but the recent Windows issue [reportedly] ignored it.

I quite liked this line from the article:

> We figured we would need about 100 Steam Decks to pull this off. And as luck would have it, we had that many old OLED prototypes laying around the office.

It's possible that if you don't find it fun, it's not for you.

I had fun reading about it; would probably have had fun doing it. No worries if that doesn't match up!

It's amazing how my muscle memory reaches for the spot that it was on my homescreen in any spare moment, and also excellent that my doing that has faded hugely even in the last day.
