I have a thought, coming from Raspberry Pis that use a microSD card as their main disk. People would report that heavy usage of an SD card would wear it out, particularly writes. Does Steam or the OS do any writing to the disks while playing from them? If so, unless you’re downloading new games, mounting in read-only mode might extend their lives a bit. Again, just a thought and maybe it’s not an issue since it’s primarily reads being done, or maybe it’s crossed your mind already.

eBay does, and is a great place to find stuff like this.

Hot is generally broken, I use top 6 hours to get new posts that actually have comments.

You’ve put some thought into this.

I live in Canada. I torrented without a VPN for years, only got one scare tactic email. I also had up to* 25 Mb/s with a data cap for $100/month. Guess Canada is a third world country.

Since nobody’s mentioned it yet, GIMP is a free and open source photo editor available on Mac, Windows, and Linux that can open .webp files and save them as a different file format easily.

Been a bumpy ride the last few days but it’s back up now.

If the wheels stay on the ground, that is. They have little rollover protection.

My understanding is that it’s all publicly viewable code on Github regardless of licence. The legality of the training data and usage is hotly debated. Although you can get it to generate entire code blocks, my use and where I find it effective is finishing lines of code based on context of what I’m writing, so it’s “filling in the blanks” around my code so to say.

Github Copilot is a bit different, it’s powered by OpenAI Codex which is trained on all public repos. And yes, it’s quite effective!
