“The update will enable battery management features that will reduce capacity and charging performance after the battery reaches 400 charge cycles. We’ll contact impacted customers next month, with all the information they need to address the issue.”

Isn't that everyone? It's wild to advertise the length of updates but have phones that keep being unable to reach that full cycle without getting kneecapped.

Tomorrow I'm grabbing a large pizza and showing a friend The Shawshank Redemption. I know they will love it. That's been making me smile.

I feel like a guide site is very likely to get scraped up by AI. People just typing in "How to repair buildings in Worshippers of Cthulhu" and getting their answer without ever knowing who wrote it out originally. I hope the best for them. I think it's a cool endeavor.

I got to play D&D in my first meaningful multi-session way this year.

I loved how much I got tossed around for trying to use tricks and the like instead of combat.

We also did a one-shot of Alien. I crashed the ship right away, failing like 5 roles to ease the damage, and then in our first encounter died to shrapnel while hiding in a bush. A player left early so I took theirs over and was the only player to die at all, and twice.

I love a DM who isn't pushing me to fail but also isn't going to have the NPCs not take logical steps. It was some of the most fun I've had.

I'm not sure that you can get wallpaper engine running. Maybe someone else can say otherwise, but I wouldn't trust second hand.

For closure, I require a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

What is it called? Sounds like an interesting watch.

When I switched, I got the whole setup you describe. Even special soap from etsy. It was too much of a ritual.

Between simple blades and an electric, I'm good and it's pretty fast as long as I keep up with it.

I did do dollar shave for a little bit and it was okay. But this is an easier version of set it and forget it. Like you said, it's pretty cheap.

Oh for sure my confidence is way low. I don't do much early access stuff and CU would definitely not be an exception.

I want good things for it is all. Seeing a video drop is nice, if only to show a sign of life.

I'll try it when it comes out. I really got hooked by Warhammer Online mostly until it closed (now alive again).

I never backed it, but I never felt Jacob's as anyone bad. He put his own money in and I believe they did considerable refunds after a while. Maybe a bit misguided with whatever that spinoff game was. Warhammer Online tried the same thing after he had already left, with Wrath of Heroes.

If it is fun PvP, I'll be there. I hope they popularize something new again. I feel like many games have some version of public quests now.

I just moved and my cat really really wanted to smell the tape measure. I don't know why, but it's always like a minute long process along the length I happen to have out. I wouldn't dare deny her, especially when she is so thorough.

Oh! New to me as well and also looks great! This looks a bit more action packed, and I think will be an easier sell to my buddy. He did not like the more patient at times pace of the last flick, while I ate it up.

It feels good to be excited about Predator flicks.

 

I'm new to having Linux on my main rig. It's been about a month now. I'm hoping someone has a better way to handle focus while gaming.

I used to, on Windows 10, hit the Windows key to then fiddle with my panel and other opened programs (or alt+tab). In Linux Mint, I have the issue that the Super key doesn't focus the panel and menu, only the menu. I know the reasons for this but functionally It is what I wish it did.

On top of that, alt + tab yanks the cursor to the center of the game screen after initially swapping to the other program. Pushing the super key alone does this as well. But ctrl+alt+down does allow me to swap focus, but it isn't as quick to do.

I'm new so I'm thinking maybe there is a better way to quickly swap focus or even better to kill it from centering the mouse on the game occasionally when swapping around.
