You could use the Steam link app on your phone and basically any Bluetooth controller.

Got a bidet as a joke gift for Christmas a few years ago, it has been an absolute game changer. Hate pooping anywhere but home now, I actually feel clean, and use much less toilet paper.

Cannot wait for this to come out. It is interesting that it is airing during what is typically a movie slot.

They have videos on the road building tools, and from what we have seen so far road building will be much better than CS1.

It depends on which other smart home stuff you are using also. I use Apple Homekit, and Schlage Encode Plus has been perfect. Keypad, key backup, and uses Thread instead of WiFi for quicker performance and better battery. It doesn't require Apple products, but does have Apple Homekey function which is nice.

@selfhosted may be a good place to ask. Can run your own "cloud" photo backup on a computer so photos taken on phones can automatically be saved. Would also recommend a second drive at friend/family house so you can back-up off-site to follow the 3-2-1 rule (3 copies, 2 different types of storage, 1 offsite) for backups. For even better redundancy for drive failures you could run a NAS running multiple drives in RAID. Basically, RAID combines multiple physical drives into a single "logical" drive with different speed, capacity, and redundancy capability and the NAS allows you to access that over your local network or internet.

Great video from Not Just Bikes on third places.

Main issue is how we are/have been building towns/communities. More often than not, you'll see new builds on land solely for single family homes or only residential apartments instead of mixed used (commercial first floor, residential/office second+ floors) buildings. These all feed onto higher speed roads/highways where you have to drive to shop/eat/work/etc. Many older/pre-suburb towns may still have good third places, we just don't build towns like that anymore.

Also see the blog post here if you can't watch the video yet.

Everything about this looks so much more fluid and dynamic than in CS1. Better road building and easier grids, parallel mode, much better looking highway exits, roundabouts, etc all look incredible.

Only issue I see here is wide sidewalks can't also have street parking. Would be nice if you can just have a wider road that uses both. Or to make it asymmetric, have only wide sidewalks on one side, or only street parking on one side.

Does that work for you? Didn’t seem to pull every post when I looked though.

Transportation comes in 3 simplified steps. It needs to start near where you currently are, it needs to connect to where you need to go, and it needs to stop near where you need to go. For drivers, as long as there is parking at both places and roads to take you between, you can go at any time. From a USA perspective, poorly funded transit may have 15-30 minute waits and you may not even have the option depending on where you live and are going. The political and social will isn't necessarily there in most cases to drive transit frequency down to say 5 minutes and building out robust rail networks. I would love to take transit to work for example, but it would be a 4 mile bike ride crossing a main highway/stroad so its not very feasible for me to get there except via car or if I am brave enough on an ebike. And if am driving anyway, it becomes a choice between faster car travel or less stressful train travel (and cost of more driving vs the train).

From my perspective, cars are the jack of all trades, master of none of the transportation world. They can do everything you need them to, which is likely why they became so popular. But they don't inherently do anything you need better than other options, they just might be your best option depending on the infrastructure around you.
