But it is opt-in. You can opt-in to not having your bones ground. Everybody knows that all major software defaults on grinding bones, so I also see absolutely no issue with this.

Tbh, that's the first time I heard that take. With the openness of the deck I'm sure you could somehow just use a deck as the controller though.

With a smart TV it should already "just work"... Just get the steam link app for your TV and pair it to your deck to play on the TV and use the deck as a wireless controller. Don't know if you can turn off the deck's screen though.

First, you're moving goalposts. That already makes you seem like you're arguing in bad faith. You can't start with "an EV would have me wait for an hour just to be charged" and when people call you out on your bs be like "oh yeah, which EV charges in 10 minutes??" That's not what you said first. And when you're told that there are models that do charge in about 10 minutes, you're just like "well about is not enough". Just charge 10 minutes and leave the charger at 75 % then, if that 10-minute-mark is so important to you.

Second, charging embeds well into everyday tasks. Groceries? Car charges. Movies? Car charges. Restaurant? Car charges. Etc etc. Sure, 11 kW won't fully charge your car while you're shopping, but they don't have to. Just add some km while you're at it. I have friends and colleagues that don't own houses and still drive EVs and they say that there are more charging opportunities than they need, so they don't even always charge their car. If your commute requires you to charge more often, just charge before your first break and maybe ask your employer if there's a plug somewhere that you could use.

Only if none of that works and you're talking about a really long commute, you need to take detours to fast charge your car. Tbf, I never met anyone who had this issue, but yes, if you're that person, you'll have to adapt that convenient EV charging scheme I described above to... behave just like you did with your old combustion car. Yes, it'll take slightly longer to charge your car than to fill it. Just grab a coffee while you look for a supermarket that provides L2 charging so you can avoid it next time. I've certainly had my wait times at gas stations during rush hour or holidays, but that's seemingly not an issue.

Asking these things to be at parity with gas (as in, can I fill my electric car with power with the same speed as a gas car) is not a lofty goal. It is the baseline goal for any other technology.

That's just nonsense. EVs are so much better than ICEs in so many regards, worst case charge times and front up prices are the only things left for people to complain about. They're cheaper over their lifetime, their acceleration values (that car enthusiasts were comparing for decades to determine the awesomeness of a car) are beyond anything combustion engines can provide, they are quiet, etc etc. This weird idea that none of this counts if you have to spend half an hour to charge because you seemingly can't be arsed to charge it while you're doing something else is just ridiculous.

The EV asks its buyers to change their habits. It asks you to take the hit for the climate

You know what, so far it doesn't. So far, it's an offer you may or may not take. But eventually, yes, people will have to change their habits. As they did before. When the ozone layer started falling apart in the 70s, the world sat together and prohibited the usage of CFCs in the 80s, with some countries taking more or less time to turn this into their local laws. But yes, people then had to change their habits as CFC alternatives sometimes worked differently. Look at who complained the loudest then and maybe still complains about it today and ask yourself if you really want to be perceived like one of those folks.

using technologies like modern batteries which are straight up bad for the climate.

I'll just assume that you actually don't know what's worse for the climate. I mean, yes, we should reduce car dependency as a whole and use more bikes and public transport, but an EV is so much better for the climate than an ICE, it's not even close. Even if you charge it with electricity straight from a coal plant, it's just so much more efficient that eventually, it'll have been the better option for the planet, but assuming you just take the energy mix that's available where you live, it'll be fast to offset the worse climate footprint from battery production.

So they really just took the steam deck controls and got rid of the screen, more or less. I love it.

The problem here is that most of the US population is centered on the coasts, and in the midwest, and a bit of the south, so most rail infrastructure would be useful there

So that's why there are those four hyper-dense rail networks on the coasts, the midwest and the south and the US's only problem is that these aren't properly interconnected?

Saying it doesn't make it true.

We are a family of five and share devices. The tablet has profiles that just switch locally. The switch asks before you start a game which profile to use. The steam deck not only doesn't properly separate profiles, so you end up accidentally overwriting each other's save files, it also goes through that whole login process every time you switch them, which doesn't work if you're disconnected. So yeah, the deck doesn't work as well as other devices if it's disconnected. It's not that out doesn't work at all, I know, but profiles and iirc achievements as well just don't properly do their thing.

Tried handing it to a family member that then wants to switch to their profile?

I know that it has an offline mode. The fact alone that you have to tell it to be offline now it's telling, as that's not the default mode of operation. We took it to a camping trip where we had long periods of being disconnected and e.g. switching between the family's profiles just doesn't work if you're offline.

I've taken it to a camping trip and the experience was horrible. There's all kinds of features that just don't work properly when being offline, most of all profile switching, which we rely heavily on. It's great that you had a better experience, but I can't confirm that.

The steam deck that runs steam? The steam that essentially requires an Internet connection at all times to work properly?

Was ne coole Aktion!

Wenn es noch da ist gerne "you suck at parking" :)

It'll hopefully glue back on. 😩

As you sound like you know about it: What is that cloud made of? Can't be water, right? I mean, we have speculated for decades on whether there's water on Mars, we wouldn't have done that if there's a yearly 1000 km trail of water that can be seen from orbit, right?

Well, as houses don't magically appear out of thin air, I guess it has been like this since we started building permanent shelter.

So is that actor's name pronounced "Seen Been" or "Shawn Bawn"?

Nordsylt ebenso.

"This waste shouldn't be overly dangerous and the fact that it isn't doesn't say how dangerous it is". Wow. How did you do this?

Here I thought you're just slow and didn't read what I wrote so I was already preparing to just explain what I said.

What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the dangers of radioactive waste?

Did you read what I write?

I will rephrase you:

What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the amount of radioactive waste?

This is where I realised you're just trolling.

What nonsense is this?

Compare gloves that were used once to turn valve on pipe in reactor room to shit from coal in your lungs.

No shit, Sherlock... The reactor room is shielded by the water. Something you had in there once shouldn't be overly radioactive and the fact that it isn't doesn't say anything about the dangers of radioactive waste.

Even most active kind of waste everyone thinks of - spent fuel - consists from about 90% of useful material.

What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the dangers of radioactive waste?

Actually not.

Actually yes.
