This is only true for steam keys sold on other platforms afaik

Homeowners aren’t signing contracts where they agree to use exactly 450MW of power at a constant rate 24/7 for the entire year. The problem with “Free market” utilities is that they are reliant on private sector contracts like this to fund expansion

From a business perspective, if the grid can handle the residential load 99.9% of the year, paying these businesses to cut usage during that other 0.1% of the time is a LOT cheaper than expanding their service to add one more decimal place of uptime that sits idle for the entire year

Cloud platforms like AWS/Google/Azure do something similar, where you can rent unused servers for pennies on the dollar with the expectation they can be reprovisioned by someone else on a seconds notice

Nothing more beautiful than seeing transparent yellow-orange overlaid on top of transparent orange-yellow

Top to bottom, then left to right.

Yes but if it’s first instinct is “go left” on 1-2, it’s pretty apparent the reward function could use some tuning

It’s not necessary but there is no reason not to.

Pros:

• production and development programs are more similar
• upgrading your base image won’t affect your python packages
• you can use multi stage builds to create drastically smaller final images

Cons:

• you have to type venv/bin/python3 instead of just python3 in the run line of your dockerfile

When you teach a child what a dinosaur is, you have to do a lot more explaining than when you try and teach an adult what a dinosaur is in french - the child isn’t just learning a language for those 10 years.

COVID has long lasting effects across your entire body, it impacts your immune and cardiovascular systems for years after you get it.

Risks of heart attack, stroke, etc are increased 2.5x in the year after infection, increasing exponentially with the number of times you have been infected. In fact, the risk of pretty much ANY health problem skyrockets following a COVID infection.

Not quite the same, but London calling was similarly used for tourism ads among other things

Yes, but if someone trips over the cord there is a 50% chance the wrong side comes unplugged and potentially kills them, hence why they don’t make these cords

You gotta donate to planned parenthood for every dollar spent there. It’s like buying carbon offsets, but for sandwiches. /s

More, but not way more - they would be licensing window IoT, not a full blown OS, and they wouldn’t be paying OTC retail rates for it.

I haven’t used dual shock so I can’t speak to that, but as far as Xbox 1/S controllers, there is no 1st party support - literally all the drivers are from some non-MS affiliated GitHub page. 360 controllers required the xpad driver as well - that isn’t 1st party support. Yes they work out of the box with steam if you are using a wired connection, but that’s because it’s going through steaminput (not 1st party either), and making the controls of the submarine dependent on being launched through steam is even more absurd. Gen 2 series 1/S controllers didn’t work via Bluetooth for a long time after they (silently) launched on most LTS Linux OSs due to the kernel missing requisite BLE functionality

That’s only assuming the sub was running windows, where Xbox controllers work out of the box. On Linux there are no first party drivers, and Bluetooth support on the 1/S controllers simply didn’t exist at the time this happened. If it was an embedded system there would be no support whatsoever.

US Army used to spend $38,000 per controller until they found out Xbox controllers were better

You mean change a 60 year old database schema? Absurd!

For what?

You will probably have waaaay more issues trying to get the windows client working through wine than dealing with any hiccups on the Linux client. It was buggy but passable like 5-6 years ago so I’m sure it’s much better now

You can try running it through a VM first before making the switch - 3d performance will be horrendously bad, but at least it will give you some piece of mind.
