It's worth also emphasising that they can be combined, so that you can combine the touchpads with the gyro such that the touchpads do coarse mouse movement and the gyro does the fine tweaking. This is apparently surprisingly effective,

One of the steam deck's really underappreciated features is the trackpads. You can use them to play a whole heap of KB+M games that were otherwise off bounds for a handheld. I've been playing through the Sam & Max episodic gam

“His” as the default gender pronoun is a semi-old-fashioned but very widespread convention.

I never quite understood the meme of getting diarrhoea after eating fast food (chiefly, taco bell) because the couple of times I'd tried it in Australia, it seemed average but entirely uneventful food and didn't cause any sort of

It may come to you as a surprise, but if my colleague is taking 20 sick days a year whilst I'm taking 2, I'm not jealous of them 'working less' because they are instead sick at home .

Yup, as an Aussie my understanding is that UK English would call it a blackboard whereas US English would call it a chalkboard. AU English therefore followed the UK, regardless of if they're the dark angels-esque green or fully black c

No it doesn’t. Doubling the number of trains doesn’t double the number of vehicles if each train is half as long. You don’t know what you’re talking about here. Longer trains are harder to handle and end up with dynamic forces down their le

Imagine knocking off for the day, rolling into your favourite post-work boozer, having pints with your mates for a couple of hours and then it drops you home as you finish. Talk about efficiency! This could totally help ease the housing cri

They are only vaguely similar in the remotest of ways and certainly not with respect to what the OP meant, so not really.

Just chiming in to say that I went through all of this myself in 2015. It’s a long adjustment and grief is non-linear, but ultimately adjust you will.

Two things are generally required for a Westminster-system government to have mandate to govern: supply and confidence. Supply relates to the access to money, specifically through approval of the government budget. If a government has suppl

No. Things that really matter (banks, etc.) have well-established next-of-kin processes. You can cause problems if you subvert them, as there's processes to go through to prove who might have claim to the estate and if necessary divide

Living in Australia, we get a lot of US TV, and it was weird when there was this weird pacing cut within a TV show. Then you realised that it was put in as a US ad break, but AU rules didn't allow as many ads so it just sort of faded t

Yup, any controller can set a signal to red (that’s how we do track blocks, said clips are the backup to that because you always want the dude in the sky to know you’re there). Not all trains have kit to stop a SPAD, unless you meant specif

I tend to agree that it’s a nifty idea but I think it’s a decade or so too late as the industry settles on ETCS. The legwork to prove ETCS as SIL-rated is done, whereas this has all those uphill battles still to fight and I’m not sure it’ll

I’ll cop that, though I’m fairly confident in saying it’s the exception that proves the rule, in that those ones end up knowing the problem space so well that they sort of horseshoe around to seeing new insights others miss.

Wheels slip and their diameter changes which throws out dead reckoning. Counters are also not accurate and will have cumulative error over time. It’s complex because edge cases like this exist for simpler systems.

That system is track circuitry that uses relays to detect rolling stock when they short the two rails via their wheels. That exists widely, and it identifies that rolling stock is present in a track section. That same relay also locally (as
