I can infer that you want suggestions for cost efficient backup power. Depending on the laptop model, it could power the HDD and in case of an outage it could draw power from the laptop's battery. It would decrease battery charge duration but it would be enough for a graceful shutdown to prevent data loss.

Alternatively, you could maybe use a battery pack.

I can't help but think that this is the result of the CEO wanting to protect the company's investment instead of actually caring.

I know there's still good people in there, but as a whole, much of what they've done recently has earned my distrust.

Forza Horizon 6 achieved a peak of over 273k players on Steam, three times more than FH5. Turns out well-optimised games with no Denuvo sell great

Alleged Steam Machine specs according to Chris Mizo (edit: was already shared by valve themselves)

So, $ 633 - $ 715 if they go by average markup margins (15-30%). But that's a big IF. Seeing as this is a low volume product compared to giants like Apple or Dell for example, I would expect the possibility of even greater numbers. I am assuming Valve is underestimating the initial demand and does not plan to market the product outside of their current countries and is not planning to advertise the product heavily.

Paperweight scans your inbox to map your digital footprint, then helps you take back control and delete your data. Local-first and open source.

Great project. Thanks for sharing, and cool you chose to open source some / all of it. That said...

Paperweight, a local-first open-source desktop app

Are the paid features open source too? If so, then it's really open source.

If the paid features are not open source, then the project does not grant the 4 freedoms the FSF requires to recognize the project as open source.

This is commonly known as open core (or open washing?).

I'm not giving advice on what you should do, I'm only pointing out a possible incoherence between what you say and what you made.

Sony to no longer bring PlayStation narrative single-player games to PC

Jump

warmaster @lemmy.world 1w ago

Seriously, everytime I caved to hype and downloaded a demo or purchased a Sony published game... it was for nothing, just cool graphics, and I ended up refunding it. As a 42 year old, I've played those kind of games countless times, graphics alone won't grab my attention enough to keep me playing.

That said, if they ever published the shadow of the colossus remake on Steam, I would buy that in a heartbeat just to collect it. I've finished it multiple times, but I want to be able to comfortably play it whenever I please, with the touch of a button, for the rest of my life.
