1 out of 3 are actually a myriad of Indian engineers?

Primitive Technology can also select their tools for maximum gain. Apparently it's relatively easy when you've got the right woods and kindling.

When you're somewhere in the wilds your wood might be too hard, too soft or too wet or whatever.

She literally talks all the time about how she doesn't get any offers all of the sudden. She probably did at least once in one of her last four streams. She just has become pickier with what she auditions for. But she still has to audition like everyone else.

Yeah, apparently the director and writer of E33 were actually playing BG3 at the time of the casting. But they didn't recognise her voice at all. They just knew that they had found the right one for the role.

It's also saying something that they cast Andy Serkis and didn't use him for performance capture. That was all done before the voice recordings. Recording over already finished performance was an entirely new experience for him.

Probably. And with the next version Lemmy as well.

GPS and similar systems are just big atomic clocks flying around the earth, shouting their time down to earth. A GPS (or other) device just needs to know the current time and the position of the satellites to calculate its own position.

The most control the US ever exercised over GPS was to encrypt the more precise parts of the satellite's timestamps so that only military devices could get really precise positions. They stopped doing that when other systems went online. That was for the whole world, including its own citizens.

China's system can't be used for spying. It's as passive as GPS. These things are harmless. No amount of control can be enacted through them.

 
 
 

Loved the show as a kid. Remember almost nothing about it. Except for the daughter practising kissing with a water melon and some jelly.

Does anyone else see this? Every time I wake up my Deck to continue playing no gamepad input is accepted by the game only keyboard and mouse.

Might be because I'm not running SteamOS but OpenSUSE and start the game from KDE Plasma. But maybe this is an issue on regular Steam Decks as well I can report.

 

I'd like to disable some services that might decrease my gaming performance while a game is running. Stuff like search indexing, automatic updates, filesystem tasks.

Has anyone done something in that direction?

My spontaneous idea was to use gamemode to switch to a systemd target that disables those services. Although I'm not sure if systemd targets actually can disable services or if they can only start them. Might also be a little overengineered.

If I don't get a better idea I will just run a start and stop script with gamemode to handle all that. Although I'm not sure if that would be able to stop system services. Will cross that bridge when I get there.

Edit: While I can automatically stop services by starting a target they aren't started again after stopping the target. I guess I will just use some simple start-gaming and stop-gaming scripts.

She bought a Steam Deck to play PC games because she joined BAFTA.
