That's a good sign, that Valve is moving at least the runtimes to 64bit only. Maybe that means the client is under similar scrutiny internally. Recently when Fedora was discussing dropping more 32bit libraries Steam came up as a big issue.

I thought "the one that got away" means "the crush you never got together with"?

That's a less impressive version of one of the two facts that are specifically not asked for :-)

But that's exactly the lesson. You help the weak supressed civilians against the powerful authoritarian racist military.

Religion is not the part that mattered in the Holocaust.

Hope he doesn't get the Kashoggi treatment. After all "things happen", according to Trump.

I think you're right, the sign on the right contains Japanese hiragana symbols

"Video Background Play Fix" is also nice if you are a YouTube user. Background playing of Videos without the need for Premium.

This seems like old news to me. The consultation period to the VÜPF revision ran early this year. I remember because we voiced our issues with the revision through our business association Asut. Just looked it up, it was 29. Jan to 6. May.

Almost all the big parties were against it, only The Centre didn't submit a statement : https://www.inside-it.ch/vupf-revision-faellt-in-der-vernehmlassung-komplett-durch-20250507

And the organization Digitale Gesellschaft has since collected 15000 signatures for a petition to the Federal Council : https://www.digitale-gesellschaft.ch/2025/05/18/petition-demokratie-statt-ueberwachungsstaat-an-bundesrat-beat-jans-vorsteher-des-eidgenoessischen-justiz-und-polizeidepartements-ejpd/

I'm not against Tuta also taking a stance, it's good if they do. Its just a bit weird that they marked it "Breaking News". I just wanted to give some context that this is not a new thing, and people are working against the proposal already.

shaped to look like a bone

I hope you mean wing otherwise that makes even less sense to me

When riding trains I look at the concrete cable canal running along the tracks thinking about whether we rent any fibers in that one or not.

Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world

With the short variable you probably also get shadowing. That's super fun in a new code base.

Or another favourite of mine: The first time I had to edit a perl script at work someone had used a scalar and a hash with the same name. Took me a while to realize that scalars, arrays, and hashes have separate namespaces, and the two things with seemingly the same name were unrelated.

I thought Deep Rock Galactic was PvE anyway

That reminds me of something similar my ISP said. "Don't be afraid of the bandwidth", if you give your customers more bandwidth they aren't actually going to fill it, they'll still run roughly the same downloads just more quickly.

Here it's at 12:10 in this video archive of their talk at RIPE: https://ripe84.ripe.net/archives/video/797/

And here when they gave the same talk at SwiNOG they also mentioned how their network ring in Wintherthur is still pretty much equally loaded after 10G and 25G home connections became available: https://youtu.be/wXmJCzMeIBo?t=1195

It may act on the whole market, but it doesn't have the same impact on every OEM.

It's a bigger issue for Valve than the console competition, who have established supply chains potentially with fixed prices for certain terms or at least more significant volume discounts, and proprietary compatibility hurdles binding their customers, so they can sell hardware at a loss if they want to.

If Valve sells the computers at a loss they run the risk of people buying them for other uses, without generating corresponding Steam profits.

Damn! I live close to Zürich, Switzerland which usually ranks high for most expensive places globally, so I thought I knew what high costs of living were, but paycheck to paycheck on 250k USD, that's insane. And with that much of a commute too!

Two that come to mind: Deutsche Bahn still transfers the seat reservation database to the trains using diskettes. And San Francisco Muni uses 5.25 Floppies for their light rail trains.

I originally thought the Steam Deck would be enough for that, but it appears not yet. Maybe the combined share can move the needle

I would have thought a good job with high education in biotech would be lucrative. Do you not earn enough of is your cost of living that high?

Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.

Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.
