Right, but can you enable for when connected to a TV, but not when youre playing the Steam Deck in handheld mode? Without going into settings each time?

Wonder if you’ll be able to enable it for when connected to a TV only

We also kill millions of sharks per year, while they’re responsible for maybe 10 human deaths per year (worldwide).
- Comment on Wi-Fi Without Typing the Password: 3 Simple Ways to Connect 6 days ago:
Just need a phone with NFC to write tags - you really just need the tags (which arent all that expensive).
Pretty sure the Home Assistant app has the ability to write tags - I made a tag that triggers a discord message when my dogs meds run low so I remember to order them
- Comment on Google Has Removed Manifest V2 Extensions From the Chrome Web Store, Including uBlock Origin 1 week ago:
All the more reason to switch to Firefox (and it’s derivatives) and support open web engines.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choice 1 week ago:
He probably said that grok is pretty cool
- Comment on Dozens of engineers laid off at Apple headquarters 2 weeks ago:
Layoffs that occurred under the radar, covered up by news of Partons death.
Kinda like how the president will announce bad shit on a Friday night.
- Comment on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives 2 weeks ago:
Voice assistants go unused by 17.8 percent.
Well, yeah. My options are fucking Gemini, Siri (but I have no iPhone), or Alexa. Fuck those all.
Yea, gemini is fucking useless compared to Google Assistant - it takes for fucking ever (god forbid you try to send a text message right before something interesting is on the radio) and it refuses to work if your signal isnt the best (I cant actually close it when it loses signal - super annoying).

Right, do they even have the funding to use n1+1?

Kind of fucked that Iron Mountain has refused to help

Can you fathom how much junk you can fix inside the fathoms frunk and trunk?

More incorrect than a text prediction algorithm?

We traded it in for something that will hallucinate a solution.

Then you earn an MBA and implement Lean Six Sigma.

Tbf, I feel like a large percentage of BMW owners deserve all of this…
- Comment on Open source project fools AI scrapers with poisoned font 5 weeks ago:
I assume a screen reader that used OCR instead of just copying the text would work (for example, being able to read text in images)
- Comment on Anthropic’s New AI Model Can Identify More Software Bugs Than Ever. Microsoft Is Struggling to Fix Them Fast Enough. 1 month ago:
But… but… I thought closed source was more secure!
- Comment on Google shuts down its Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold project as it focuses on Gemini 1 month ago:
Mind you, theyre killing it in favor of an LLM, which is arguably further biased (you know, the giant “predict the most likely next work” algorithm, which doesn’t predict anything new).
- Comment on AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books 1 month ago:
To pay authors a fair compensation for consumption of their book, right?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
He could just as easily argue he was forced to give the password under duress and accidentally gave them the wrong password.
As such, its highly improper for them to have tried to take data from his phone without a warrant and try to argue he destroyed evidence when he has not been charged with a crime.
The motion also states that Tunick asked four times to speak with a lawyer and was denied each time.
Also highly illegal.

Fuck all the way off. This man did nothing wrong during this interaction, its police that fucked up.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds 1 month ago:
Except that the tariffs that were placed on Nintendo’s products were ruled unlawful and refunded (to Nintendo).
Imagine that it was found a city tax was calculated incorrectly - you’d expect a restaurant to refund customers, not keep the extra sales tax for themselves.
- Comment on ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir 1 month ago:
Further proving ICE is a lawless agency and needs to be abolished.
- Comment on Meta used AI to tag workers who took leave to be laid off, lawsuit claims 1 month ago:
Given that we have no AI laws, honestly probably not a stupid decision, just very unethical one.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Secure Boot has been broken for a decade and no one noticed until now 1 month ago:
Really funny that, the thing Microsoft used to try and
prevent people from using Linuxsecure systems, was broken this entire time due to laziness revolving around ensuring Linux worked via Secure Boot. - Submitted 1 month ago to technology@beehaw.org | 5 comments
- Comment on Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol 1 month ago:
Star Wars became Episode IV in 1980, when its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, began with the title card “Episode V”. However, the 1977 original did not officially have the “Episode IV: A New Hope” subtitle added to its opening crawl until its theatrical re-release on April 10, 1981.
You could say Star Wars 2 was released as “Star Wars 5” I suppose
