I've been using Steam Link on an Apple TV more and more for controller stuff when I want a bigger screen or more oomph than a SteamDeck-like (connecting back to a desktop elsewhere in the apartment).

Although if the card is held in place by gravity a CardKeeper might be enough. Those are probably NOS if they're actually in stock as it seems the manufacturer is out of business.

I looked for a spoilerless hint and was happy to find people had guides out there giving the barest info to push you along.
Something to consider if you feel it's too directionless after a couple tries.

The vaccine was roughly from 1963 and that episode is from Christmas 1969.
No idea if they mention prior vaccination in the show, the kids may have had a dose.

When you open it up if the motherboard or PSU has a bulging electrolytic capacitor it's a good sign that's the unit to replace. I'd be surprised to see this kind of failure in anything of this age and my gut says power supply generally for these symptoms. Curious what the solution ends up!

Comment on The "standard" car charger is usually overkill in ~transport
KakariBlue Link ParentAlso need to know your pricing schedule if it's variable. Having only 6 or 9 hours to charge versus 12 or anytime means even a modest (20A Level 2) can be important if your trips are regularly...Also need to know your pricing schedule if it's variable. Having only 6 or 9 hours to charge versus 12 or anytime means even a modest (20A Level 2) can be important if your trips are regularly more than 100km / 60 mi in a day (3.6kW is about 10 miles added per hour).
Two 20A outlets during build out so you have plenty of options should be quite reasonable to do during build out.

I can see it having the same issues initially but once figured out may be faster to repeat and improve on.Did you use terraform at all as you made your move?

They make some charge only or 2.0/480Mbps cables so be sure it lists what you want (5, 10, 20, 40, 80 Gbps).

Some places demand your legal name so everything comes from "Samuelson, Markus, Jr" so you sign even short form stuff 'Sam' because that's what you go by.
Yes, it's moronic, no, I haven't gotten them to implement better rules but maybe one day the CEO will be called 'James' instead of JP and suddenly the rules around allowed fields will loosen.

I'm surprised this is the first I'm hearing of a breach at the Darien Gap three whole years ago. What they don't mention is that the screwworm fly will use humans (and pets) too although it's been rare as they haven't been prevalent here for decades and we usually are able to shoo the fly away before they manage to lay eggs.
This Ars Technica article has some more graphic images (larvae and an infected deer).

Comment on Swedish teenager charged in Australia for allegedly using encrypted communication apps to help plan contract killings in Sweden and Denmark in ~news

Sweden has struggled in recent years to rein in shootings and bombings linked to conflicts between rival criminal gangs.
The perpetrators are often young teens hired as contract killers because they are under 15, the age of criminal responsibility in Sweden.
I might've been interested in making things blow up (pop bottles and too much pressure worked well) at that age but I don't think myself or any of my peers would've seriously considered anything but contacting authorities had we been asked to carry out something nefarious. Maybe something similar happened here and someone they tried to hire was more innocent than they thought.

The images are used well in the posts I checked and Noirvember was a fun read!
It's on sale on Steam through the 25th for 1.99$ US in case you know anyone else who was waiting to grab it.
