God I hope they can stay in Northside, they are my favorite place to walk to

That’s how flights to Chicago normally end up working.

Boo this man! Coke doesn’t offer anything better than their Pepsi counterparts, except for coke zero. I’d rather them switch to RC.

This doesn’t go far enough. More of these smaller streets need to be converted to pedestrian/bus only roads. Leave the major routes to the cars, funnel them straight to high capacity garages.

Humble monk has DND at 1 every Sunday. I believe it is dropin friendly.

The fact that Youngstown is second makes me question the validity of the list.

The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn’t worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I’m the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.

Real sad, I loved this place.

I think the specialized tools thing leaves a lot of room for interpretation. For instance, Nintendo consoles likes to use triwing screws. A triwing screwdriver is a standard tool technically, but they aren’t found at most hardware stores. I could see the argument that a triwing screw would not comply.

There are plenty of options for waterproofing removable batteries. They just tend to be large.

It seems to me the steam deck already meets this regulation, or would with very minimal change. It does not say you need to have an access door like gamboys had. It just says the battery needs to be easily replaceable with commonly available tools (or included tools). To replace the steam decks battery you just need a size 0 Phillips screwdriver and something to pop it open like a guitar pick or a credit card. You would easily be able to get all the tools you need at any hardware store.

I use timeshift for local backups, then duplicati for backing up to Amazon glacier monthly.

Don’t forget that a local backup is as bad as no backup at all in the case of a fire or other disaster. Not trusting the cloud is fine (though strong encryption can make this very safe), but looking into some kind of off site backup is important. Could be as simple as a second hard drive that you swap out weekly stored in a safe deposit, or a nas at a trusted friends house.

I honestly wish more programs did the app by app theming thing like steam and discord. I don’t need my desktop theme applied to every program I open. I would much rather the program to have a consistent design language that works, rather than slapping themed buttons all over the place that don’t fit with other aspects of the program.

Originally, because I was a poor middle school student with a bunch of dumpster hardware. I could not afford a windows license (this was the XP days). I immediately liked Ubuntu (gnome 2 at the time) more than windows, everything felt faster and more customizable. It really screamed on my pentium 3. I used Linux of various flavors all the way through school and continue to use it as my OS of choice to this day. I remember my teachers always being mad that I didn’t use “times new Roman” font when I turned in papers, explaining that I used Linux and TNR was not an available font didn’t do much for me. I would switch to windows for AAA games back in the day, but that is quickly becoming less necessary.

The biggest benefit I have seen over the years is that it is so much easier to keep old hardware alive (and still secure) with Linux. If your old matching is starting to bog down you can always find a lighter weight distro to load it up with. And when you are ready to upgrade hardware the old stuff can easily be turned into a server, game console, or PC for grandma. Anything to keep it out of a landfill is pretty easy to do. It used to be that you never had to worry about paying for an upgrade either, but now that windows is essentially free for upgrades that is no longer a huge benefit.
