Yes, both the Ally and the Go are sold in Australia. However it’s also quite easy to order a “grey import” Steam Deck from Amazon, which is what I did. I’m guessing the sheer number of Steam Decks that have been sold into Australia that way are factoring into Valve’s decision, because anecdotally among my peers the Steam Decks owned outnumber the Allys 4:1. Pretty impressive for a device not officially sold here.
I agree but I do have a little issue with the “wasting resources” part, that’s a very anthropocentric view to take. There’s an entire ecosystem of organisms that would love to use those resources, and in many cases leaving the carcass behind is better for that system than taking it away and depleting it of that biomass. There’s obviously a lot of “ifs” involved but I wouldn’t generalise by saying that because a human didn’t get to eat it the resource was “wasted”.
It’s unfortunate that our ancestors have left us with this kind of ecological trolley problem, where in order to keep the system balanced and prevent collapse we’re obligated to go out and kill a lot of creatures, but such is the world we’ve inherited.
Yeah there’s not nearly enough damage to the back of the car for it to have hit so hard as to launch it into the air. Plus you can see yellow paint on the ground where the bollard was clearly laid over. OP is right.
You may know this already from the Steam Deck, but I highly recommend installing protonup-qt which will enable you to install the glorious eggroll versions of Proton. A lot of game cutscenes don’t work with vanilla proton but will with ProtonGE.
Really not good enough from AMD. I wonder if Intel wasn’t a complete dumpster fire right now if they would still cut off the fix at Zen 3 (I doubt it). There’s really no reason not to issue a fix for these other than they don’t want to pay the engineers for the time to do it, and they think it won’t cost them any reputational damage.
I hate that every product and company sucks so hard these days.
Crowdstrike bypassed WHQL because the update was not to the driver, it was to a configuration file that then gets ingested by the driver. It’s deliberate so they can push out updates for developing threats without being slowed down by the WHQL process.
And that means when they decide to just send it on a Friday with a buggy config file, nobody is responsible but Crowdstrike.
Fun fact about mushroom toxicity by contrast. Because the mushroom is only the reproductive organ of the organism, and you’re basically doing it a favour by picking it and spreading its spores everywhere, theres no evolutionary pressure for it to evolve toxicity to humans. So the compounds in mushrooms that are toxic to us likely exist for other purposes, and are only toxic to us by coincidence.
For this reason the proportion of species of mushrooms that are safe vs. the number that are toxic is greater than with plants. Because plants have had selective pressure to evolve poisons that discourage or prevent herbivory. So if you walk into an unfamiliar forest and pick one plant and one mushroom to eat at random, it’s more likely the plant is the bigger danger.
Of course I absolutely do not condone eating plants or fungi at random unless you intend to have a painful death.
Unfortunately this is a separate issue. The main problem that is blowing up now is that the CPUs are rapidly degrading to the point of failure even with completely standard settings and normal usage. And ironically, boosting the voltage to solve the issue you’re talking about might then accelerate the degradation issue, because the leading theory seems to be that the high voltage that i9s use is frying the ringbus.
All around just a terrible situation for Intel and their customers

Last I checked hexbear had something like 70% more total comments than lemmy.world despite only having a tiny fraction of the users. Sounds like bots to me
The thing he replied to is a modified copypasta, it was made as a joke
I’ve had two different arch based distros have issues when trying to update after long periods. I also had an Ubuntu server fail completely when doing a major version upgrade and had to restore it from backup. But then again I’ve also had no trouble updating an Ubuntu machine that was a couple years behind.
I’m on Fedora now for my desktop and it’s been great so far, but I also do updates at least weekly. My advice would be if you expect to go months between updates your best choice is probably Debian.
