Okay…I don’t think you’re doing a good job of not being arrogant on the internet either though…

I dunno, I think we as a society have been restricting the rights of teenagers more and more. I’ve helped a lot of young adults access resources to escape from less than stellar parents unfortunately.

I’m sorry but isn’t it a bit creepy that you location-track your child like this? I’m glad that I grew up before that was a thing my parents could do.

I wonder if one of their existing mainboards would fit in the form factor of something like a Legion Go (which is quite a bit larger than a Steam Deck)
- Comment on I watched Arrival (2016), there was a lot more to it than I was expecting 1 week ago:
Yeah, genuinely one of my favourite original sci-fi movies I’ve watched in the last decade. I did a linguistics course in high school so just really loved that side of it. It also really felt like they did a great job building the tension and making it feel like there were high stakes to her work.

I’ve hit them with my powered wheelchair several times. They’ve also tried to close on my chair but they do seem to pop open if they close on someone/thing.

I dunno, I think it sounds good listening to Dolby Atmos with my AirPods.
- Comment on 5 bizarre AI TV features that simply shouldn't exist 2 weeks ago:
I was confused by the “Spatial 3D sound” one, because spatial audio is genuinely pretty awesome. But yeah, the whole head tracking thing is basically useless and I immediately disable it when I can.

Honestly this just sounds like more conspiracy theory than fact. Remember Occam’s Razor, the simplest solution is usually correct.
Like don’t get me wrong, TikTok is absolutely an extension of soft power, and it’s likely that the Chinese government has access to the huge amount of data the platform collects. But I think anything beyond that is just not likely.

How did the “[get] played”? Like the poster you replied too said, it was a completely unforced error on their part. It feels like they tried to jump on the right-wing “China bad” bandwagon and it bit them in the arse.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 5 weeks ago:
I’ve never encountered any of the issues you’ve talked about here, and every deck-verified game has worked on my Legion Go. Often better, as many “Playable” titles only have marks deducted for small text, which looks fine at 2560*1600.
As for the lesser used distro, I can understand where that creates issues. However, due to it’s immutability, Bazzite is a consistent target to support with no real variations in system packages.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 5 weeks ago:
Bazzite fixes all of those issues you mentioned in your third paragraph.

Texting your ex that “I’m at your address with a knife with your name on it”, is condidered terrorism.
I don’t think it is in any sane country. IANAL though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Considering all the massive utes with flat faces in the States, it would have exactly zero effect on those. Like maybe if you own a Ferrari I guess.

For fun I looked up how I’d have to mount a front plate and it’s just gross. I’d have to drill holes into the front…
Wow no kidding.

Huh, that’s cool. All the ones at places I worked just had the legs with adjustable feetsies. They sucked to move.

No, I know that already, I’m talking about in the real world and how the game gets it wrong, as well as the dishwasher

It’s pretty poor form to call any criticism against you out as “attacking”.
Because at my age…
I guess I shouldn’t expect much from someone your age though. Have a good night mate 🫡

It’s just that you keep putting it on them, as if they need to be the one to “turn things around” when their rant was specifically about external systems prejudicing them. They can’t “turn around” AusPost’s decision to deny them the ability to redirect their mail?
Basically, they are trying to ask these systems for help, and are being denied. So why put it on their shoulders? Why not be outraged that someone is falling through the gaps, through no fault of their own?
I get that you have good intentions here, but I feel like you’re kind of missing the point in a big way…

…you’ve got time to turn things around.
This feels uncomfortably close to a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality… 😔

This seems like it’s going to be really bad for LGBTQ+ minors. Finding community online at around 13-14yo literally saved my life.

It’s possible that if caulk was used, it didn’t have time to dry and immediately carked it. Sticking a plastic sheet over it may have helped but then they would’ve had to come back to remove it. May have just risked it to save you the money of them returning. It was either a definite return to remove whatever was covering it, or a potential return if the fix carked it.
That’s just my two cents anyway, I’m just spitballing.
