Wireless charging WILL wear out your battery faster.

For longevity, use a slow wired charger. This will put the least thermal strain on the battery.

I agree. It always confused me growing up seeing friends with siblings whose parents would actively pit them against each other.

Every parent probably has a favorite child, but if mine do, I have no idea who it would be for either of them.

A local place makes a pepperoni pizza with blue cheese and honey added. It’s fucking amazing.

She is pretty cute. My siblings and I have managed to grow up together almost completely free of sibling antagonism.

She’s around here on lemmy, too, though as a lurker, I suspect :D

Could we get that for recording, too?

Neat.

My sister insists I’m adorable.

But specifies that it is in this way:

I know, right? I was so happy to find there are a bunch of positive voiced pings you can bind in Deadlock. I can now have my character go “good job” when the team does something well together, or “thanks” when a team-mate intentionally or just coincidentally save my skin, and make sure the other players get to feel appreciated.

This is how I respond when people call me cringe for complimenting my team-mates in games. Even when we lose.

Yeah, don’t know the specifics, but at some point the thermal energy will start knocking the molecules down into atoms.

Steam has no limit to how hot it can get. Until it eventually transitions into plasma of course. By then the oxygen and hydrogen would have separated, I imagine. Then it’s no longer water.

Superheated steam was a problem in some steam locomotives, as running the water level too low would allow the boiler to reach temperatures that would compromise the integrity of the metal.

Only liquid water has the boiling point as a “limit”.

yes

Maybe when it contains superheated steam?

Must’ve walked through there a thousand times.

Becoming more like the competition might make sense, if you completely blind yourself to the fact that the customers you do have are the people who don’t like the competition.

This is kind of a huge turning point.

It would mean reddit is discarding the biggest thing that makes it different from all the other algo-driven “engagement”-fueled social platforms.

Everything runs on an API, including steam.

The simple fact that Epic allows API proves that they not tracking and datamining people’s information

That’s not how anything works. Even literal spyware would have to make use of some APIs. The acronym literally just refers to a interactive protocol between software applications.

AFAIK, legendary, the python application which Heroic uses to interact with Epic services was created by reverse-engineering the Epic store API used by their launcher, not by implementing some public spec they freely provide. It’s essentially a workaround they haven’t bothered shutting down. For now Epic hasn’t blocked it, but that’s not the same as an endorsement.

Legendary may not have implemented the parts of the Epic launcher that collects user data, but that doesn’t mean Epic doesn’t do that.

I mention Linux, because that is the primary use-case for Heroic. I entirely forgot it works on Windows.

I’m under no illusions about how Steam works, but to claim EPIC of all companies is any better, is beyond rich.

GOG I can agree with, but even they have some games that don’t work quite right without galaxy. That may improve, as those APIs are being reverse-engineered, as well.

Steam maintains the right to erase a user’s game library without a refund

So does GOG and Epic. The only difference is that there’s a third-party downloader for their libraries.

All three storefronts sell at least some games with executables that function entirely on their own, no launcher necessary once the game files are acquired.

All three also sell some games that can be shut down by their respective developers or publishers, or rely on other services that may not stick around.

Yeah but his real crime was that he screwed over other rich CEOs, soooo…

Fortnite is riddled with overreaching anti-cheat. No shit it wont run on linux.

GOG doesn’t sell you anything more than a license, either. The difference is that you can download and keep the game forever.

Except you can actually do that with a lot of games on steam, too. These games don’t need steam, which means you could completely uninstall steam, and the game .exe would still work.
