They’ll be in real trouble when they get fined into oblivion. I bet they’re looking a thousands of dollars here!

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I’m in a slightly different demographic, but am still really interested in the steam machine. I’d be happy building my own gaming rig, but:

1. Pricing out all that stuff, ordering it, building it is a lot of work, I’d want to see some benefit for that work,
2. After pricing it all out, maybe I look at a steam machine and decide it’s a better deal.

Realistically, steam machines, consoles, and custom gaming rigs are all approximately the same hardware and the same market. If the price of the steam machine is going up, so is its competition.

And came back to four slashed tires, right?

They’re in the American embassy and consulates.

From the article:

“These skilled and highly trained special agents focus on a wide variety of serious crimes, like drug trafficking, child exploitation, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, financial fraud, and more.”

TLDR: They’re not armed and can’t arrest people.

In my opinion, it was all entirely reasonable when the US administration was an ally and a civilised democracy. It might be something we should re-evaluate for current circumstances.

Why not both?

Other side from port.

It looks like Bing is just a part of the answer: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources

Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

My understanding is that they outsource the search part to bing’s search back-end. Saying DDG is just Bing is like saying two butchers are the same because they get their meat from the same supplier.

I can get behind that sentiment.

I reached for the up button about five times reading this. I absolutely 100% agree. Agile, and all of it’s little branches, were created by self managing teams. Each team did it differently so named what they were doing differently, we got XP, scrum, kanban, etc. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t the specific flavour that led to success, it was the diverse, empowered, self managing team of mature, talented people. Get yourself a team like that and the rest will care of itself.

My only requirement for team processes is that they be mostly up to the team. Absolutely some type of structure is needed. If something isn’t working for the team, they need to have agency to address that, whether it means adding, removing, or changing something.

“checks and balances”

I started playing with it, but decided that DNS was slightly lower level than I wanted to host myself (personal opion, more power to you if you disagree). Instead, I use NextDNS which gives me great control down to individual devices, blocks ads and malware, and doesn’t bring down the internet for my entire home if I have a faulty power supply or SD card or whatever.

Hmm… What’s eating Windows’ lunch? Oh “Unknown” and “Other”. Cool.

I really hope all sorts of organisations start inventing more and more absurd prises to give to Trump.

And this year’s WWE Most Presidential Hair award goes to…

They’re just helping us meet our % of GDP target.

Get a good baby carrier. Something similar to this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZIaFppcOL._AC_.jpg We had a stroller, but hardly used it. Wearing your kid is so much easier most of the time. Some of my best memories of the early years are going out with my kid in the carrier.

It’s only really cheating if you cheat someone else. The point of video games is fun and entertainment. If “cheating” improves that, have at 'er.

I thought the broken image was the joke.
