More TV spying bullshit. Remember kids: if smart functionality is subsidizing the price, you are not the customer. You’re the resource to be abused to sell to advertisers and anyone else. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

I think CEOs who take home tens of millions of dollars a year and then lay off hundreds of workers should go to actual prison for life.

BioWare, which was once hundreds of employees across three offices, had around 50 staff remaining when EA closed the studio this morning. EA gutted BioWare after the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard last year, as we reported then: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

One of the really fascinating things about Charlie Kirk is that his own people’s response to his death was so nakedly opportunistic that it’s like oh, ok, this guy is fair game for literally anything, he’s an object, and now his soul is trapped inside Grok for eternity.

TSA was *really* curious about the Steam Machine this time. Not just a check with the chemical wipes, but a call to the manager to verify that it’s a real computer for sale. 😎

Just saying, if I'd had even a $10k infusion a decade ago, I'd have a ton of debt cleared out at that point and could've started saving for retirement a minimum 5 years earlier than I did.

Pay off a car, 2-3 years of rent living in an apartment without a roomate, *simply having a reserve for when the boss needs to lay off 200 people for his quarterly bonus*

It's wild to me that Steam/Valve doesn't seem to have a direct feedback page... I wanted to send a tip that adding a quick link on the Linux client to a game's Proton AppData directory would be *incredibly* handy for when you're doing mods or tweaking game files.

Like, Steam's game properties window will take you to the game's install directory for the actual files. But digging down to find the windows AppData folder is a huge pain until you figure out a workflow. For me I made a shortcut on my desktop to the main directory and use an app for the ID numbers.

At least on my Bazzite installs. Haven't gotten around to setting that up on the Steam Machine running straight SteamOS yet, but it's on the to-do list.

Got an in-flight meal this time too. The short rib, rice and beans were delicious and satisfying. The salad was so bland and sad (flavorless oil and vinegar dressing packet) I ended up skipping it. The roll was pretty good, but desperately needed some better butter on it. And the pie slice was yummy
