  • You want to know the problem?

    Obviously both candidates suck, but The questions the moderators ask, can just be ignored by the candidates. There hasn’t been a good moderator in years, if ever. No one insists that the questions be answered and they continually ignore them.

    Hold the candidates’ feet to the fire. Don’t let them go off tangent. Slap them down and insist on an answer to the question. They don’t want to answer? Cut their mic and move to the other candidate who might actually answer it.

    Too many times during the debate were questions like abortion and climate asked, they were just ignored.






  • Honestly, Windows is my only gripe. I did choose knowing it because I wanted not only Steam access, but xbox cloud/gamepass and any other launcher. When using the built in Armory Crate software, which is their custom gaming software, it runs great, almost flawless. The software toggles for framerate limits, refresh rates etc is really well done.

    Hardware wise, it’s light which I love, the screen is really solid and audio actually is impressive. I know fully cranked specs will drain the battery quite quick. So far though with stardew valley and Xbox cloud, I’ve been surprised at battery life, and haven’t felt a need for an external battery yet.

    Plus I paid less than the cheapest Steam Deck despite me getting the 512gb version too.

    Because it actually can help.

    I have light switches that don’t turn on main lights when I walk into the house. Smart devices allow me to be physically safer in my house.

    I can have my ac system not run full blast when I’m not home, I can save money.

    I can see who is at my door and communicate with them without physically opening the door, therefore, I don’t have to draw my gun if stuff is sketchy.

    Think about disabled people, they can easily control their space with just about any device.

    I am NOT a defender of big tech, but there are use cases where it can improve your life immensely.
