For this to truly become a console replacement, Steam needs to mint agreements with Netflix, Spotify and Discord. Netflix and Spotify could live as a 'game' application in the store. Spotify also is fairly easy to plug into Steam&

Gyro aiming being on all 3 console platforms would be such a huge boon, because then it could finally get implemented in every shooter. And they could start heavily nerfing the frankly ridiculous aim assist that controllers currently get. B

You can set a dual-stage trigger in Steam Input binding with any controller its trigger range, its not something unique to the Steam Controller.

It looks way too chunky, just like the original Steam Controller, Steam Deck or original duke Xbox controller. Not everybody has Jack Reacher hands. Microsoft really did it right with the XSX controller. They took the old X360 / Xone d

Bit of a lesson incoming, skip to the vinyl bit if you don't care for that: "Dynamic range compression" is a bit of a misleading term because it sounds like you're taking an audio signal and and squeezing it. What you&#x

Vinyl literally cannot be brickwalled because the needle can't handle it. That's also why vinyl can't handle heavy bass, it'll make the needle vibrate out of the groove. It has nothing to do with the speakers. It was sor

The loudness wars were mostly an artifact of the 90s-2010s, because consumers were listening on horrible plasticky iPod earbuds or cheap Logitech speakers and the music had to sound good on those. Once better monitors became more commonplac

From the title I assumed it would generate docs to put in the repo. But it's docs outside the dev's purview on a deepwiki url, used to shepherd people into Devin. Wow. Talk about slimy.

The trick is to pretend you're an idiot. If the bicycle and the person on it map mostly to a rectangle of 8 squares, most people will be so stupid or hasty that they'll click that, nevermind that a human is not part of the bicycle

Bias is not the same as censoring. Censoring is "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dave". Bias is "actually, Elon Musk waved to the crowd." Everyone downthread is losing their mind because they think I'm

Grok's biggest feature is that unlike all the other premier models (yes I know about ChatGPT's new adult mode), it hasn't been lobotomized by censoring.

The "be an advocate" thing is both true but also incredibly selfish and egotistical. If everyone did that, the whole system would grind to a halt. Doctors aren't in a rush because they enjoy so, they are because they're

To be clear, I don't think Valve has abused their position at all. I was merely musing on how they could. Which would operate on a similar concept as Apple did: "my users will stay in my ecosystem almost regardless of what I do.&q

Valve has market power though, which is a key part of a monopoly. If tomorrow Steam decided to charge 30% extra to developers with the stipulation that sticker price must equal that of outside Steam, developers wouldn't have much of a

Hardened chains of sufficient thickness can stand up to an angle grinder pretty well, to the point where thieves will rather steal another bike because angle grinding for that long will attract attention. Ring locks suck, a lot of them can
