I haven't seen this brand locally but it does look decently priced. I don't live in the US but I do see a couple specialty stores in Canada that can ship it. I might give it a try. Thanks for thr recommendation :)

I'm inheriting a cat (long story) and did some basic research into the possibility of a vegan diet. It seems that while it is possible, like your links suggest, there is no easy way to do it. I looked in thr local stores and while I have found vegan food for my dog, they don't have anything for cats. A few online specialty places but the food is so expensive it is off the table.

I've switched to trying to find the lowest impact food but even that information is hard to find. I hope that it gets better and this small market gains traction, but it's not really at a level right now where thr average person can make a switch.

If you're coming from Windows I recommend Fedora KDE Spin. If has a similar look and feel and is very up to date while remaining stable.

I assume this is the result of "water heater" and "hot water tank" being merged together.

I'm fairly confident that ensuring countries remain sovereign is a net benefit for the world, even if I never step foot in Ukraine. We are lucky to live in this time of relative global peace, and strongmen countries invading others just because they can is something we need to put behind us.

Valve has not yet put in the effort to create a generic version of SteamOS because their focus is on the Steam Deck right now, but the community has.

Bazzite has been made to look and feel almost exactly like the Steam Deck and can be installed on any PC (AMD GPU recommended). Give it a shot!

My apologies, I missed the word Musk. I think what I said still stands that regulations can only hold back some of the damage, and that GenAI is still a big issue in and of itself.

With that said, you're right about Musk. He's a wildcard who is only out for his personal interets and he has way too big a following. He's a large problem to be sure.

The cat's out of the bag unfortunately. I can download stable or unstable diffusion on my home PC and make it generate all kinds of stuff. It's open source so you can't really stop that knowledge from spreading.

You can however recognize that the majority of people won't do that, and write rules around software that is delivered as a service or for a fee. That would stop 90% of it.

So while regulating GenAI is possible, it's not full fix. GenAI is kind of still the risk.

I mean, yes? I'm obviously using VLANs here. I'm not running a separate switch and AP for each network...

All I want is higher resiliency SD cards. It must be a technology limitation with being unable to fit a good controller in there or something because I would gladly sacrifice speed and capacity for something reliable in a lot of my applications.

There's a whole documentary on this. Check out American Factory (2019). It goes over the same issues outlined here.

The distain for people isn't the reason, it's the side effect. The goal is profit, profit above all else. The problem the US (and most everyone) has is it's very hard to put the cat back in the bag.

After WW2 many countries were decemated and people banded together to help each other. This became the basis for social healthcare. They didn't have huge corporate interests to fight against as so much was already dismantled.

The US however came out on top with healthy industry so there was no "start from scratch" point. Because of this any attempt at socializing healthcare comes at the cost of destroying the profits of all the companies that have been built on the back of the current system. Capitalism is built on investment and investors do NOT like losing profits. Therefore maintaining the status quo so that investments remain stable is priority #1.

The sad truth is that things have to get bad, really bad, before people consider a complete reboot. Up until recently it's only been really bad for the poor, now the shrinking middle class is starting to feel it. Eventually it will become to much to bear, but until then there's still more sweet profit in the next quarter.

 

Looking at the charging preferences of the Steam Deck, which from my research wants 45W at 15v/3A, it looks like the larger model should work just fine. And with it being $15 USD / $18 CAD this could be an incredible bargain.

It's so new though I can't find any info on it being used with a Steam Deck. I'll definitely be grabbing one to try, as it would be perfect for my USB hub that sits by the TV.
