Windows on a handheld is just bad. It's that simple. A Steam Deck competitor needs a handheld friendly controller focused interface that is at least as good as Valve's. Our just straight up ship with Steam OS and use Valve's.

SteamOS still has many instances of awkward UX and some frankly broken behavior, especially while trying to use community features, it's just that every other offering has been worse.

Because he has almost completely faded to obscurity. Most people under 30 probably wouldn't recognize him at all.

Superman not being one of the characters in this image is also kind of baffling. Unless the artist believes that Superman could bear the cross.

The machine I have running mint is a fifteen year old Core 2 Duo T6600 laptop. Works great!

Land usage is also a huge concern with hydro power. Pumped hydro storage means permanently flooding an area to create the reservoir, which carries many above and beyond just the destruction of whatever was there before. The flooded land has vegetation on it, which is now decaying under water. This can release all sorts of unpleasantness, most notably mercury.

Yeah, there are different bluetooth audio profiles, one for high quality audio intended for media consumption, and one for bi-directional audio intended for telephony (and some others, but these are the relevant ones here). The "gotcha" is that in general, any attempt to consume the mic feed from a bluetooth headset will switch it to the telephony mode, so if you have them paired to a PC and an application is listening to the mic for any purpose you get stuck with much lower quality 64kbps PCM audio.

Hey, my Brother laser printer can see my screen, you know! Apologise now!

Pretty much sums up JavaScript's entire philosophy.

You can give a 400 response a body though. It doesn't stop you from replying.

.NET (not .NET Framework) is cross platform and can be compiled into native binaries on a variety of platforms. There is however the wrinkle of not all the libraries within .NET being supported on all platforms. Most notably, everything involving a graphical UI is Windows only.

The most well known cross platform .NET project you probably have heard about is Jellyfin.

Literally the only reason I ever fire up a different browser. Come on guys.

This article isn't about browsers or websites, and even acknowledges in the opening that it makes sense as a usability tradeoff in that context.
