  • When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it"

  • I don't know what any of that has to do with throwing millions in the garbage can...

  • Talk is cheap. As attorney general she also held the power to decide not to prosecute those people.

    If she did anything to prevent this, why wouldn't she just come out and say it? Not saying anything at all about it other than that she's proud of it is the most damning evidence we can have.

  • Sure but they're saying it wasn't a prototype. At least not intended to be.

  • "And there are people [at Valve] who were like, ‘I just want that for me.’ The point wasn’t even to make a product out of it. It was just, let’s see if you can actually make something that I would want to use for that purpose.”

    I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. Seems highly unlikely Valve was dedicating valuable dev/engineer time and money to make a toy they had no intention of ever producing...

  • What security options are you using with your ebike ?

    Jump

  • I don't think there's anything novel. Big U-lock and a chain run through the frame and wheels. Don't leave it alone at any time for longer than you absolutely have to.

  • Linus Torvalds on the kernel, GenAI, EVs, programming languages and more…[Video Podcast 49:58]

    Jump

  • Yes, by allowing you to download the video file to the browser.

    That is not what "expressly" means. "Expressly" means they've delivered you personal permission to download videos. Add this to the slew of words you don't understand.

    You physically cannot download files to a browser. A browser is a piece of software. Downloads are stored on your local storage device.

    This snippet of legal terms didn't really reinforce any of your points.

    Except the part where it said downloading videos is against their terms of service? Which was my only point?

    This is such a wild conversation and ridiculous mental gymnastics. I think we're done here.

  • ...I can read just fine. I have no idea what your point is. Did YT expressly authorize you to download videos?

  • The smart thing is to build a powerful desktop, then just use thin clients and tailscale to remote into it.

    You out of all people, who likes to rail against people using wrong definitions, should realise this.

    I do. You do not.

  • YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers

    Jump

  • I mean yeah, that sounds like some bullshit. Make up a new rule that makes no sense but screws passengers out of their money. If someone complains, just give them an exemption. If they don't take their money.

    It's like when Well Fargo got caught stealing a few pennies from millions of customers. Anyone who complained got their money back, but those that didn't (which was a lot) they just kept.

  • that's just it: they're the same thing

    A youtube video and a podcast are the same thing...? This is the logic you want to go with? At this point I think it's pretty clear you're being irrational and I cannot reason you out of a position you didn't reason yourself into. Have a nice day.

  • New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers

  • Sometimes there's an obscure item I need that I can't find anywhere else. That's what I usually buy on Amazon. Other times it's cheap Chineseum stuff that I want to be able to return without hassle or get refunded if I never receive the item.

    But yeah, generally I try to buy directly from the seller, and especially try to buy locally if I can.
