I haven't done it in a bit, but you should be able to do Windows startup repair from a USB (possibly a Windows install USB), which I believe can restore the bootloader. I'd recommend disconnecting all drives other than the Windows one when doing the repair.

Steam is a massive worldwide market, and the Steam Deck isn't offered everywhere. Chinese users for example have to import it, so not many are used there.

It's EAC, which is kernel level on Windows but not on Linux. I guess they wanted to go full kernel-level anti-cheat.

Transporting large quantities of electricity isn't easy, you have to have large enough interconnects to handle the energy you're moving around.

Yeah this is a big part why I'm very skeptical of Signal. It feels a lot like Ubuntu's snap store, it's technically open but you can't really interact with the main corporate controlled ecosystem.

From what I understand there was also a bug involved that caused build failures without the sdk.

Did you read the article? It's talking primarily about how this could be really good for consumers.

Ah, gotcha. Sorry about the confusion.

OpenRCT2 ditched assembly tho. They wrote it entirely in C++.

On a theoretical level, food calories represent a specific amount of energy that can be extracted from food. So some kind of calculation could probably be made as to how much work is required to operate the exercise bike, which probably depends on your height and weight. That work uses a certain amount of energy, which is probably equated into calories.

All that said, I have no idea how accurate that would be. And in the end IIRC there's a bunch of other factors that affect how humans burn calories and gain or lose weight, so in the end the calorie burning stats only really need to be comparable to other calorie burning stats. So I think the bigger question is: Do different exercise equipment types put out comparable numbers?

It's only illegal federally to gerrymander to dilute minorities. Otherwise it's up to the individual states.
