Definitely agree. Most printers are sold at a loss with the plan to milk the buyer long term through ink and other services. EcoTank printers are more expensive, but Epson makes their money at the time of purchase. The ink is extremely cheap, and there’s no way for them to tell if you use 3rd party ink at all. We’ve been printing out textbooks with ours, which would be financially disastrous with a traditional inkjet printer.

Overall I’ve bought two, one for home and one for the office at work. The cheaper ink has paid for the printers several times over now.

Linux too, at least in most applications I’ve tried. Some will ask you when you ctrl+shift+v if you want to paste formatted or unformatted text.

It still might be worth trying another DE/WM for a bit to see if the issue is KDE exclusive. It might help you narrow down the cause.

Probably not it, but what DE/WM are you using? I had a very similar issue on KDE, but it would go away if I switched DEs.

You won’t see much about protests until we’re closer to the next election.

Fantastic game, glad it’s finally getting updated and getting the cliffhanger ending resolved.

That said, the original XBX still looks extremely good (at least when emulated at modern resolutions). For an HD remaster I haven’t actually noticed any real visual improvements other than the character models being better.

I wasn’t sure from the title if it was “Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than [the US adults] are.” or “Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than [the LLMs actually] are.” It’s the former, although you could probably argue the latter is true too.

Either way, I’m not surprised that people rate LLMs intelligence highly. They obviously have limited scope in what they can do, and hallucinating false info is a serious issue, but you can ask them a lot of questions that your typical person couldn’t answer and get a decent answer. I feel like they’re generally good at meeting what people’s expectations are of a “smart person”, even if they have major shortcomings in other areas.

I’m actually for paper voting. The largest producer of voting machines in the US (ES&S) got in trouble in 2019 for having their voting machines connected to the internet with remote access software installed, denied it, and then later admitted that it was true for at least some of their machines.

Also their CEO insists that even when using voting machines, that there needs to be a paper record of every vote cast for it to be trustworthy and verifiable.

This is the one I always hear these days.

Awesome, thanks!

This is a pretty good writeup, would you consider cross-posting it to !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz?

I want a real remastered version of Mario 64 DS. I loved it a lot as a kid, and it was absolutely packed with extra content.

Haha that explains where you got the number from, but still have no idea how you remember it. I suppose they do provide a helpful jingle.

How did you come up with that username?

This is also nice because every state doesn’t have to pass this kind of law for it to help everyone else. Companies are often willing to have california specific models of their products to comply with California specific laws, but if enough states have right to repair laws it will hopefully be easier for companies to just have all their products be compliant.

That still seems like a wildly high buyout.

A lot of newer games have “story mode” or other accessibility options for an easy playthrough.

But yeah I really miss cheat codes, especially the wackier ones.

I’ve tried a bunch of apps, and Thunder is my favorite. I believe it’s available for both iOS and Android.

I was a big fan of relay for Reddit, and thunder is the closest I’ve found.

Can’t have a UE5 game without spending a lot of time discussing performance.

My PC is pretty decent, but whenever I hear a game runs on UE5 I just figure I’ll pick it up on sale in 5-10 years when I have newer hardware.

In Japan, the patents they filed for were “extensions” of existing older patents. The new patents “updated” the old patents and could be used as if they filed when the original patent was. So they were able to file patents after Palworld came out, and then sue as if the patents existed before Palworld. Seems like bullshit to me, but I’m not a lawyer.

I don’t know if a similar mechanic can be used in the US patent system or not.
