I’ve been bitten by this. I’ve gotten a battery warning in the AM at the start of a day and had my mouse die in the early afternoon. It’s annoying that I can’t just charge it while working so I had to dig around for another mouse and use that while it charged. I hate that I have to check the charge on it and then forget after a while because it does last a long time. So it’ll die on me and I’ll get good about checking charge for a few days and then forget for a while and boom it happens again. If Apple sold this config I would definitely replace my current mouse with a better design.

Big plot twist, vatniksplatnik is a coworker with Persona3Reload!

It was admittedly a low effort comment posted exclusively because it made me chuckle. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that make the day worth completing.

I don’t see any possible issues with salt solutions near metal components. I mean cars drive through salt all the time and it’s not like they rust. The whole in the floorboard of my car is obviously a feature that was time-delay delivered.

I keep the wine makers in my thoughts as tapping the grape vines is even harder. Those can be super thin from what I understand.

After??? Are you all planning on surviving the after wars? I’ll probably be taken out by a rusty nail after medical breaks down.

Damn Netflix keeps trying to get me to cancel. Like they are working hard at losing me as a customer. If my kids didn’t watch random stuff on there I would have already pulled the plug on it. This could be what does it.

OR, my comment and this thread could be viewed as an opportunity to identify a value in driving development of a more seamless NVIDIA streaming experience on the Deck. The original commenter indicated that there is no demand or desire for it and I (and I assume many others) own a deck and were not familiar with the service thus driving awareness and possibly a few more people to push the demand. This post is about the use of the service on the deck and this thread focuses on whether there is a demand. It would seem like education on the service running on a deck would be pretty on-topic.

I didn’t talk shit about anything. I said that I played directly on the deck, asked how the NVIDIA remote play option worked, and said that I have the option for the Steam remote play but haven’t tried it. I am curious about the remote play options for both NVIDIA and Steam but since it is good enough for me, I haven’t tried anything other than local play. That wasn’t meant to indicate that anything was wrong with an alternative.

Ahhhh. I get it now. So it runs on NVIDIA machines, not local machine so that is the difference. With the Steam Link (or whatever it’s called) you run the workload on your desktop and stream to like the Deck. With the NVIDIA solution, you stream the workload from the cloud. That makes sense to me now.

I just play the games locally on the deck and that includes CP2077 which works good enough for me. I have the option to play off my desktop via the Steam remote play thing but I’ve never tried it. From what I understand, it should be the same (or similar experience) to playing via the Steam remote option? Is that right?

The stock vests across 4 years and then you get a refresh. There are a lot of staff that started 2019-2022 that are thinking about their lost value. Amazon will offer extra stock so they don’t lose money but many people are driven to work there from stories of the people previoiusly that would see their share price increase dramatically month to month like from 2013-2020. That’s what everyone got used to. So if you were told you got 60k of RSUs across 4 years, you knew it was really like 150k at least. For those that started like 4ish years ago that is no longer the case and I wonder how it will impact staff attrition.

I mean it’s fine so long as someone remembers to pay the Mcafee bill right???

Yeah it’s (as far as I know) just aesthetic since the pots were decorative from the 1800s. I don’t think anyone cares about the aesthetics of like brass pipe fittings but for something decorative (like the pots and a wedding ring) the aesthetics matter.

Yeah brass wouldn’t work as brass polishing sucks. I’ve had to spend hours every year polishing the brass pots at my grandparents place. Never again.

I’m wondering if they get away with it despite the lack of stock movement. So much of staff compensation is tied to stock price. Staff previously got RSUs allocated and stayed because they went up in value every year but lately it’s been stagnant. People are less likely to put up with this bullshit if there is no big payout at the end.

I’m starting to worry that I look like Steve Martin in this picture but in my mind I look younger. I shall stay away from mirrors to ensure the illusion.

It’s nice to hear that they are digging into this. I am curious what they will find. I would be surprised if any company could dominate a market so thoroughly as Amazon did without some pretty shady tactics. I would also be happy to be proven wrong.

I started DuoLingo a couple of years ago and slowly started learning German just for fun. It’s like 5-15 minutes a day and I’ve gotten decent at the language without a whole lot of effort. It’s no Rosetta Stone but they keep it fun and interesting.

Do these still require a Facebook login? I’ve wanted to get a VR headset for a while but am waiting on a device that isn’t too expensive and doesn’t require Facebook.
