For others trying to find how many charges you actually get from power banks, because it turned out to be not that easy to find, especially with all these variables (see below) and a lot of misleading comments/posts/review from people who are mistaken. Sharing is caring, so please add your devices in comments.

Some thoughts for other lurkers:

  • Amper-hours depend on voltage, so 20000mAh (why not 20Ah, god damn marketing and our monkey brains) might differ from power bank to another.
  • Watt-hours (Wh) might also be a lie, according to some reviewer even known brands might sin.
  • On top you have conversion loss 80-90% roughly speaking.

I bought INIU 20000mah 65w mini P62-E1 for ~50$. It says it is 73Wh. I got exactly one charge 0-100% for my Steam Deck OLED (50Wh) while it being off.

It was as fast as wall charger and thing is small and weights 320g, which is perfect for me. Also design/surface is above what I expected. Included cable is crap and does not support 65w charging, don't ask me why. Steam deck will on repeat go full charging and then stop with that cable. I can recommend it I guess, but for sure there is something better, depends on discounts, too.

 

I was going through albums I liked before and my eyes stopped on Marilyn Manson's Holy Wood. It sounds (kudos to Dave Sardy skills I guess) incredible 25 years later. To my ears it is as fresh as it was back when I heard it first time, somewhere in 2000-2001. Almost all songs do feel great to me and this album is definitely on of my all time favorites.

I might post other songs from it later, because I like almost all of them.

I tried steam link for several games in last weeks and it seems that black screen issue exists in quite some of them. My case is Nvidia on Wayland and it seems to me that could be a culprit in my case. If it's the case for you, too - try xorg first.

Sorry, can't help you, but interested in solution, too.

I was playing this game too much, with complex system which never actually encouraged me to play any of the games I have categorized (and I had similar system as OP). Please dear fellow gamers - don't fall into same trap =)

Now I have only 4:

  • WTP - want to play games, be them new or on repeat.
  • VR - same as WTP, but for VR.
  • Done - for games which are finished, but I have a feeling that I would like to recall them several years later.
  • Done-done - for games which I'm not going to ever play again. Either bad games, or which have fully fulfilled their purpose and there is nothing to do anymore.

I use recent sorting, which help a lot to mitigate any kind of lock on what to play today. It's more like recommendation

I am trying to free myself from finishing games 100% and avoid all side/boring activities, also now I'm free to pick whichever game I want, instead of planned (like work) consumption with previous system.

It has really brighten my playtime, now it feels more like joy than before.

It looks correct now.

If society tries to suppress something that will find it's way, you will get it back, but hidden, harder to detect and maybe even changed in a harmful way.

We had it as humanity with alcohol bans, war on drugs, hateful speech bans and etc. We need systematic regulations for unavoidable, not prohibitions which will leak from all places.

Leaving it be while being explicit is reasonable.

Can't help here, not even tried. But I don't know if it should matter for tablet, installed stuff does not disturb you in any way and regarding your data leaking to manufacturer - same goes to other brands, too. Xiaomi launcher is fine, simple like an iPad, I would prefer it differently, but comparing tablet usage to phone - in tablet I only need to start my app (tachiyomi, draw app or jellyfin) and launcher does not matter anymore. Phone is used heavier and in more diversed way.

If you are looking for something to tinker with, it's better to look at list of supported devices of OS you are going to install. I have stopped looking into such things, can't help here either, sorry.

Xiaomi pad 6 is great, I bought two for me and my wife to read manga and draw occasionally, rarely we watch something, it has very nice screen and sound. It's reasonably priced and is overall nothing to complain about if you are OK with bloatware.

Century is fine, it's more about format, thst date goes into brackets. It helps to crawl titles via code and search for songs.

Thanks for sharing! Please format post according to community rules. Year should be in brackets.

As a big music lover I always enjoy an opportunity to share music I love and discover something new to listen.

Song I Love (other link [email protected]) has a set of simple rules of how to create new posts to avoid deviation from the general idea:

  1. Title must be Artist - Title (year)
  2. Post must contain link to some legal source, which should be easily accessible like Youtube or Soundcloud. Original sources and clips are better.
  3. Post must contain explanation why you love it. Additional information about artist or song history is always appreciated and a plus.

I have not ever heard this band until today. Fell in love in Prodigy influenced sound and Die Antwoord vibes.

Music, setup, pace and style sounds just right to my ears, it's Like I'm playing Need for Speed: Underground again for the first time if you know what I'm talking about =)

If you like Prodigy, Deftones, Maxim, Hyper, Beastie Boys and maybe some Hed P.E. or something from Rob Zombie or Kidneythieves - it might be right for you. That's the feeling I got.

TBH I don't have strong opinion where the boundaries of FOSS are. But I can understand their will to minimize effort where you see it fits as an engineer. If they think they lack of manpower to do something, it's their vision as they put work towards it. We can help if we like, agree, disagree or ignore. Does not make sense to blame them though, that was the point of my first comment.

[–] Oikio 1 points 1 month ago

It was described in open letter if I recall correctly, bottles is as special as any other project is to any other project, it depends on perspective. But beyond technical details - It is their decision as maintainers, you do not agree with it, I can understand it.

First of all look at the album cover with soviet brutalism - I really like it. Not soviet union though, but the cover. ^^

Overall band's music is not something I would listen, but I liked this particular song and text. I find it hilarious that I got acquainted with this song because one youtuber mentioned it as weird choice for being a "TikTok dressing videos theme song" (what!?). And it actually is. It was funny/weird to look at silly videos while hearing these lyrics (translation from random website is below, it is quite close to the original):

Судно

Эмалированное судно
Окошко, тумбочка, кровать
Жить тяжело и неуютно
Зато уютно умирать
Эмалированное судно
Окошко, тумбочка, кровать
Жить тяжело и неуютно
Зато уютно умирать

И тихо капает из крана
И жизнь растрёпана, как блядь
Выходит, как бы, из тумана
И видит: тумбочка, кровать
И я пытаюсь приподняться
Хочу в глаза ей поглядеть
Взглянуть в глаза и разрыдаться
И никогда не умереть, никогда не умереть
Никогда не умереть, никогда не умереть
Никогда не умереть, никогда не умереть


A bedpan

A window, a nightstand, a bed
Living is hard and uncomfortable
But it is comfortable to die
An enamel bedpan
A window, a nightstand, a bed
Living is hard and uncomfortable
But it is comfortable to die

And it is quietly dripping from a faucet
And life is unkempt like a whore
It appears like out of a fog
And it sees: a nightstand, a bed
And I try to stand up
I want to look into its eyes
Look into its eyes and cry
And never die, never die
Never die, never die,
Never die, never die

I'm (was) not into such music, but these guys did it on another level. I still wonder where such level of sound work is coming from.

I love everything about this song - vibe, quality of source musical material, record and sound work, voice, texture of guitar, bass, drums, vocal and it's awesome usage of extensive tremolo effect.

It was a great song, but the way it's done in the recording in my opinion makes it awesome.

 

I still remember how I played Need for Speed and heard this one. This song has such an interesting "lone road night vibe" for me, still listen to it pretty often. I do recommend to listen to the band if this song is something you enjoyed. They are very good.

I did not expect P.O.D. to make two songs I would like this year - AFRAID TO DIE AND DROP.

Though I liked them both DROP is my favorite of two - it's more of their style from first albums. But on the other hand I do love AFRAID TO DIE and Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer is a really great singer. And clip is also quite enjoyable.

For anyone who did not think about it beforehand and struggled as me. You can run KDE Connect on your machine and send keyboard and mouse inputs using kde connect. Almost 0 input lag. So you can do all you need.

For me it was terminal and some work with files on dolphin (for emudeck). I'm not used to steam deck touch pads yet and using shortcuts on keyboard made everything a breeze.

You can transfer files, too, of course.

Some Indian metal for you. I love vibes/energy of this song, it reminds me of late 90s, early 2000s, where most of my music taste formed.

Still looking for other great tracks I would like from the band.
