[HN] InfluxDB Cloud shuts down in Belgium; some weren't notified before data deletion in c/[email protected]

What the fuck. Why didn't they just shut down the service but keep the data around?? I'm very sorry to all the engineers scrambling this weekend because of this idiocy

Thanks for the responses everyone! I ended up getting a long HDMI cable and using it with a usb-c hub I already had. The setup is pretty bulky so I might end up velcroing it per morgan's comment to reduce the pressure on the connection. And having a cable run across the whole room is... less than ideal. I think if I end up using this a lot, I'd probably just opt for a Steam Controller

I want to play games like civ that are better played using mouse controls via the touch pads, so I want to use the steam deck as a controller. But the screen is a little too small and some games don't have good ui scaling so I want to be able to play on the TV. What's the best/easiest/cheapest way I can play on the TV while still using the steam deck as a controller? I have a Vizio tv that doesn't support steam link but does support casting. Thanks!
