Typically how close is the TDP of the CPU to the full system power draw? Can see a few refurbished on ebay that don’t look too bad

DuckDuckGo: Use us because Google is so evil they were banned in Europe

Is it fair to compare new to used though? Also how about power consumption, if it’s on for 5 years each watt costs £13, so for something that will be on a long time power is actually quite an important consideration

Can you get those as cheaply though? Can understand getting something other than a pi as you don’t need the GPIO but are there any good alternatives that are cheaper? If not may as well go for the pi

Checked my game purchases, typically spending less than £20 a month on PC games. A lot of my playtime is in games I already have or are FOSS.

Yeah a lot of these games that try and do a bit of everything seem to often fail to entertain anyone.

Got some bad news if you think you are going to avoid death on this run…

Been tempted to get a steam deck at some point, just not sure how much I would use it and if it would justify the cost, having all my games already makes it infinitely more appealing than the switch though.

I quite like sandbox games so in those cases I would like it bigger, but at the same time I have no need for some main storyline to be in the game either. I want to be able to live in the world and either challenge comes just from surviving or things you find while exploring.

It was PG in the UK, think they raised it to 12 more recently. But the US rating was PG-13.

Were they not allowed 1 swear word in each film to keep the same age rating in the US? Of course probably different for other languages, but I think this would be a good case to make use of it.

So we need to encourage locally hosted AI lovebots?

Does stuff I wrote myself count?

Apache server that has a bunch of webpages that are all configured by simple JSON files and loaded by PHP. The pages have buttons on them which when pressed enter macros. So I push “Deploy Landing Gear” and Shift+alt+F8 or some obscure as fuck combination no one would ever use normally gets pressed and the game can be set to use that keybind. Most of it is for simple immediate key presses but also made a few for macros as well.

The HTML/PHP that runs the show is a grand total of 2018 bytes, including comments. Plus a fairly bloated 2444 byte CSS file that includes some button colour options that I never use now because I decided they look ugly. Should update some of the background images though, my sheet steel Faulcon DeLacy logo looks a bit basic.

Allow parents to implement DNS logging/blocking? I did this inadvertently where I used to live in a shared house at one point. Set the DNS settings of the routers DHCP to point to my pihole.

Then a few months later I realised when I looked at the logs when trying to diagnose an issue that I had logs of everyones DNS history. I needed a shower after glancing at that. Trivial to bypass if you know how to of course, but logging it instead of blocking it means you are less likely to realise at first while a block is obvious and you can go on to bypass it.

Looking at the price I can hardly blame people for turning to alternative sources. Based on the wage there it would be like a bottle costing £150 or so here.

If people selling it on the black market are going to keep poisoning people it would be safer to make it yourself.

Cheap is relative. Was speaking to an indie dev who lost half a million of his savings on making a game that wasn’t very popular and eventually he had to stop working on it.

Still remember playing WoW on under 5Mbps, updating was painful but otherwise playing was fine

Is there a decent way of doing that in the GUI in windows? One of the more common commands I use at work which is the only time I use Windows. Rather than the PowerShell I usually use WSL for it currently because there are usually a few other things I will want to do after as well.

He is still bad at it

What is the typical power consumption of the steamdeck when in use? If you wanted to get an approximation as to how long a battery would last for. Also how much is efficiency likely to matter? If it was 30W and you had a 30Wh battery how likely is a 1 hour lifespan going to be? Would efficiency just be a rounding error or something like cut in half.
