Exactly. Just be responsible and don’t do anything dumb with your security. Do the typical stuff right like using a password manager and updating your software often. With your programming, don’t skip ssl validation, don’t have unauthenticated connections that matter, don’t shell out, etc. On your local system, use permissions correctly, keep a local firewall, and all that good stuff. You should be fine, but it’s never 100%.

Yes

It’s due to shitty rendering of Markdown. You’re doing it right. File bugs where you see it rendered funny.

You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.

Well that’s a wild assumption.

Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.

I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.

I own the LCD deck and goofed off with the OLED deck. The screen is perfect, just like I imagined. But the thing that caught me off guard was how much lighter it feels. They say it’s 30% or something lighter, but because of the way that you typically hold it, it feels half the weight. The joysticks also have a deep recess on the inside, which makes your thumbs slip a lot less.

Overall, I would say that if you currently have a Deck and play it every day, if you can sell your old one for a reasonable price, the cost is probably worth it. If you’re a casual gamer and you only play every so often, the upgrades on the new Deck are great to have but probably not worth the cost. As a new purchase, OLED without question.

Not only am I vegetarian, but I’m queer, too. That place is great at destroying families. I wouldn’t eat there even if I loved eating chicken.

I’m a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They’re often too occupied to hear what I’m saying well, and they don’t always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.

This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I’m in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren’t dead and you’ll see what I mean.

The soot from a building fire will absolutely give you cancer. Most deaths from a building fire are caused by the contaminants in the air and not the fire itself. It’s very nasty, and I wouldn’t shrug it off. At the very least, it will taste nasty. At most, it will give you health complications.

I’d wash sealed containers first, then go for it.

I sure do, although OLEDs pretty much have an infinite black level, and the color range is unparalleled to LCDs.

I’d ask Valve.

It’s more or less a consumer version of their RA2 system, which is its own protocol. The gateway interacts with the whole system using commands issued over telnet though, so you actually have a command line for operating and configuring it. It integrates with a bunch of closed systems, and it integrates right into Home Assistant with a first-party HA integration.

It’s not like you can inspect the source code for their firmware push up pull requests on GitHub, so I’m this aspect, yes, it is proprietary. However, with tools like Home Assistant, which is something you probably should be using, this becomes much less of a concern, in my opinion. It’s robust, high-quality, and is commonplace, so you can get bits and pieces at Home Depot.

If you’re interested in something that will work with mesh networks and you aren’t interested in running software like Home Assistant, you should look for Z-Wave or Zigbee hardware. Read reviews though; I’ve had a lot of mixed experiences with hardware, even from “trusted” vendors.

Why not find a partner that enjoys what you like, or likes that you enjoy those things? Anything else would be working uphill, imo.

Try a Lutron Caseta dimmer with a Pico remote. They work together as-is without a gateway, and the Gateway Pro will join it to something like Home Assistant in the future. Or you can simply use the Caseta app.

Always, always, always, without taking any shortcuts, use a tzinfo library for your language.

Vim handles remote files over SCP natively:

vim scp://192.168.1.2//data/editme.txt

Neat

JavaScript is an interpreted language, so no decompilation is necessary, although this is repeatable by using a Firefox user agent.

Look up WebAssembly.
