A big selling point for Android is that it isn’t controlled by a single manufacturer (in contrast to Apple). Yet they all seemed to converge on the same design so the choices are quite limited.
I want my fucking buttons back. Not only easier to type on, but on-screen keyboards eat so much of the screen real estate. Give me a slide-out keyboard.
Most “SUVs” are actually crossovers. Which are just hatchbacks, wagons, and non-sliding door minivans. Take an Impreza hatchback and lift it 3 inches, and suddenly it’s an “SUV.”
But yeah, sedans w/trunks are becoming a bit of a rarity.
Yay, I never left having physical controls for things like HVAC controls and volume.
Touchscreens are great for context-sensitive controls, but less so for things that should be accessible at all times and usable without looking.
We even passed a bill where I live (Washington state), but Congress hasn’t approved it so we’re stuck. Wonder what would happen if we just did it anyway. What is the U.S. government going to do, send the cops after our state legislature?
I use Beeper to aggregate messaging from various platforms and for easy availability of text messages on my PC. It has a specific “Note to self” section that I’ve found useful for messaging myself.
At its core, Beeper is just a Matrix client with some pre-packaged bridges for common services (including SMS, MMS, RCS messages). You could probably do the same thing with an Element client.
I have a “not Lexar” 8TB NVMe that I’ve had for almost 3 years with no trouble. Should I be worried? Or is Lexar just bad?
Incidentally, looks like the price has barely come down on these since I bought.
Reminds me of the Alpha Grip controller. Has a (really janky) trackball and an entire keyboard on it.
Owning and still loving the Steam Controller, the haptic concaved trackpads could be set up to really feel like a trackball and, in my opinion, had all the benefits of the trackball without the downsides.
I also use a Steam controller. I like the touchpad so much that I wish there was a stand alone one that I could use for day-to-day computing activities instead of having a physical ball.
I know there are square touchpads you can buy for pointing devices, but the ergonomics are completely different. They are more replacements for finger trackballs rather than thumb trackballs. Like just give me a Logitech MX Ergo with the pad.
Cyberpunk 2077 - been on my backlog for a while, finally got to this and am having a blast
Last Epoch - big fan of ARPGs and was waiting for it to get out of early access,
V-Rising - played quite a bit over the last few months but am easing off since v1.0 is coming out and will mean wipe to everything
I theme mine on how I play them:
play with friends
play when I have a short amount of time
more in-depth games
completed
unlikely to play (e.g. parts of bundles)
And yes, a bunch of uncategorized
Completely foreseeable response to a greedy mtx cashgrab on a single-player game.
Steam controller is fantastic, and unfortunately there’s really nothing else like it. I normally use a Logitech trackball, so the ability to use a touchpad like a trackball works well for me. I can’t think of any other controllers that use this instead of analog sticks.
I’ve actually stockpiled a few spares because I’m not sure what I would use as a replacement.
That is such a strange looking steering wheel.
