Heh. Can you give us the total cover of EGDE on band 41. 🤪

Thanks for posting this. I keep hoping that on one of these releases that we’ll get a separate ssid for iot devices.

It feels a bit different to me. Tesla hugely invested in their own charging network, while everyone else let EA do it for them. Tesla could have kept their network private to sell more vehicles. As for the exclusive Rivian chargers…I’ve never seen one, but the nearest one to me is about 300 miles away.

Don’t remind them, please. 🤪

This Chipotle blog entry describes things the best as far as I know: https://chipolo.net/en/blogs/chipolo-point-delay-and-google-find-my-device-app-update

Basically, in December, Google and Apple (and others?) came up with a standard on discovering trackers that are being used to stalk people. Because of the large iOS install base, Google has elected to wait for Apple to roll out that feature on iPhones before enabling the tracking device support on Android.

You were right. There is an in-game controller settings menu that got changed. So, that fixed my problem! Thanks for the help!

 

I’m new to the Steam Deck and I haven’t really been in the PC gaming scene since Quake 3/Unreal Tournament more than 2 decades ago. So, I have a lot to learn. (I have a small child and we’ve been exploring the world of games on the Switch)

Said small child is really into hot wheels, so we picked up Hot Wheels Unleashed on the last steam sale. We’ve played it successfully for the last couple of weeks, but all of the sudden (today) the game stopped working right. When driving a car, the joystick won’t let the car turn left. It works going to the right, and it works going left on the in-game menus. (And it works on other games, so it’s not a hardware issue)

Since I’m so new to the steam deck, I really haven’t learned how to debug it yet. I tried changing the Proton version with any success, and I’ve tried some different keyboard layouts without success. I’ve tried the reboot solution and verified that I’m on the latest version of steamOS and the game.

Is there a standard set of steps to debug these type of problems?

There are so many scam apps in the AppStore today. So many apps have slot machine style mechanics that get people addicted and convince them to pay for more turns. In addition, a bunch of kid-friendly apps have really short subscription periods (a day?) At a high price (say $3.99).

It’s not to say that App Review has no value, but when it comes to scams that separate people from their money, Apple has 30% of a reason to look the other way

 

I'm not really surprised to see that he signed with LA...he seemed to like the area and he wanted to win...but I was a bit surprised to see that he signed for $700 million over 10 years...that's...a large number.

Let's get a few more pitchers and start planning for a parade!

That’s exciting news. One of the downsides of T-Mobiles mmWave deployments has been it needed an (often saturated) mid-band signal to work. So, this )once rolled out) removes that limitation.

Next, we’ll need them to actually roll out mmWave antennas so that we can all take advantage of that extra capacity!

Thanks for the hat tip. I was surprised it actually happened. That being said, the AD probably described the culture as a positive just to be nice. Brady retiring saved him a giant headache.

Getting a CD on the N64 would have allowed for some cooler videos in the middle of the game (and would probably have made things cheaper for developers), but, in my opinion, the thing that really killed the N64 is the tiny (4k) texture cache combined with high latency RAM on the system.

That’s why N64 games have a “look” that can be easily identified.

Brady Hoke at San Diego State would like you to throw his name into the hot seat section. After going 12-2 in 2021 (w/ a good defense and the punt god), they are 10-11 over the past 2 seasons, and regressing quickly. Their most recent game ended with a 0-6 loss to Nevada, which hadn’t won since Sept 2022 and was second to last in points allowed. There is a brand new stadium that they are struggling to fill. His buyout of ~$5 million is probably too much for them to afford, but that seat is certainly hot.

I think there business model was to make money by running a recruiting service. In theory, prospective employers could see how well you really know a topic based on your answers.
