Or at 720p, as this is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and running stuff on it at 16:10 will look weird.

Yep, precisely why I don’t play kernel anticheat games.

Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don’t have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don’t lose sleep over that decision.

I use both, they are two separate words, not one word with multiple spellings.

Not sure why people are changing it. Yes, language evolves, but maybe we could all focus on evolving it in areas that actually need evolution?

I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it’s basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I’m primarily a M&K guy.

If you have to deal frequently with toilets with flush sensors at your office (or really any public restroom), you’ve probably been grossed out by them flushing (and spraying water at you) before you’re ready.

As an adult, I learned that handle-adjacent sensors can be dealt with by hanging TP over them, and won’t flush until you remove it as you’re leaving the stall. Wall sensors (like one infamous office toilet I deal with) can be handled with a post it note placed over the sensor; I keep some at the office just for this purpose. In an emergency, sometimes spit-dabbing a piece of TP can stick it to the wall over the sensor, but this isn’t as reliable.

Just get into these habits when you use sensor toilets, and you’ll never have to worry about disgusting flush spray from prematurely flushing public toilets ever again.

Neither. I’d remove Wednesdays.

Middle of the week off day lets you get all your errands done with little annoyance from or waiting behind the public, so you get everything knocked out and have your weekends 100% for you.

More importantly, on a 4 day workweek with Wed/Weekend off, you NEVER work more than two consecutive days. Ever. It’s fantastic.

No one better mess with my matc furkears. That’s where I absolutely draw the line.

Why are conservatives so worried about hypothetical scenarios involving gendering re: restrooms?

It’s come up exactly zero times ever in my entire lifespan, and I’m in my mid 40s now and have been in hundreds, if not thousands, of public restrooms.

There were… outtakes?

I always say that my only ask is that the first section of pipe coming off of the platform is straight, so that I don’t get thrown off the pipe when riding it in. Otherwise, I don’t really care what people do most of the time.

At those price points, it would make no sense to get the 64… get the 512. Unless you already have alternate storage sitting around ready to install.

If you got the 64 with a 512 micro SD card, you’d be in for about the same money, give or take no more than $10. You may as well have the faster SSD instead.

Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”

I’m going to be exceedingly gracious and assume that the one person who downvoted your comment (as of the time I’m typing this) accidentally hit the wrong button and didn’t realize it.

Are you on Windows 11?

Regardless of how your touch typing improvement project goes, be sure to get a good mic. Voice typing has come a long way, if you work in circumstances where you can speak aloud. It’s usually faster than my touch typing most of the time (not that I’m a blazing fast typist, but still).

Approaching 50 as well. Definitely need to get more active, I just have some physical issues from old injuries and conditions. I know I can find something to increase my activity though. Biking, swimming, something out there is doable.

I love mine so much that I didn’t bother replacing my old laptop after it died, I just bought a dock, pulled an old Bluetooth mouse and keyboard out of storage, and the Deck is my daily driver now.

I have fantastic experiences playing mine. I recently upgraded to the OLED and gave the old LCD to a friend, and now he’s addicted to PC gaming as well. We play stuff every weekend, opening Steam voice calls is built right into the UI and it’s a fantastic experience. If you are thinking about getting into gaming, or gifting one to a gamer, I can’t recommend it enough.

I trained in Tang Soo Do for almost 5 years in my 30s, before I hurt myself (an injury not related to martial arts training). I’ve been wanting to get back into it in the years since, but haven’t been able to for various reasons.

I really enjoyed the training. I kept in good shape, and became very close with the people in my school… I still talk to them occasionally today despite having moved out of the area some years back. I enjoyed practicing the various techniques, pushing myself to my limits… I would highly recommend structured martial arts training to anyone.

That being said: martial arts are a LAST defense… they are NOT the go-to defense.

If you’re attacked, especially by multiple assailants, RUNNING is what you’re looking to do. Your self-defense skills are primarily there to CREATE an opportunity to flee, if you don’t have one immediately available.

Life is not a 1960’s kung-fu movie, and you risk a lot by trying to stand your ground when you don’t have to, so fight is rarely the correct answer when presented with a fight-or-flight scenario. It’s better to not be in that mindset.

Exactly. It’s not like you’d be playing a ton of stuff on the Deck at 1200p if you had this screen… but it’d be nice to have the option for older games that don’t need a ton of power at that resolution. And this screen barely costs more than the 800p LCD replacement screen.

Thanks, I’d forgotten about this one. Our AC will be out for a few days. I’ve already started loading water bottles into the freezer.

I’ve used it before when playing non-docked (otherwise I have a Blue yeti condenser mic hooked up into my docking hub).

The people I was playing with said I sounded good and clear. I’ve used it both with Discord and with Steam voice chat and I’ve never had an issue.

EDIT: I saw your post about issues with it when using wired headphones. That very well may be, but I can tell you it works fine with Bluetooth headphones (I alternate on a couple of pairs of BT bone conduction headphones).
