That fake second monitor is a fantastic idea, didn't even know that was a thing!

I've tried all on these except buying another pc ..

option c) Check out protondb to see other users experience with game performance on Steam deck. Sadly it looks like Rocket League has just lost native Linux support. https://www.protondb.com/app/252950

Option D) I have network cables running from pc upstairs to living room (just clipped to the skirting boards and run under rugs) and have used a Pi4 with steam link/moonlight and it works fine. There are some compression artifacts but overall it's hardly noticeable and quite playable.

Option E) Another way was using my Samsung tablet or phone with a usb to hdmi adapter which will mirror the game on the TV and I've used steam link that way (with controller connected to tablet via Bluetooth)

Option A) And just finally to note I also have a TV in the office with the PC and use a 4m long hdmi cable with that sometimes too which works perfectly, though it was hard to find a good quality hdmi cable that worked.

The video is crazy! Almost looks a bit fake

Recently something has changed and the start menu likes to search for apps in its browser (not my default app). I used to press windows key then type "snip" for the screenshot tool, now half of the time is does the wrong thing ...

Also here's a link to post talking about react in the start menu https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30384494

The primary contractor for the Space Launch System rocket, Boeing, is preparing for the possibility that NASA cancels the long-running program.
On Friday, with less than an hour's notice, David Dutcher, Boeing's vice president and program manager for the SLS rocket, scheduled an all-hands meeting for the approximately 800 employees working on the program. The apparently scripted meeting lasted just six minutes, and Dutcher didn't take questions.

Here it comes, the big payoff. Elon's lost the Tesla EV subsidies but will instead get the NASA contacts

I use AI to apply for job. The recruiter uses AI to sift the applications.

Who needs humans.

The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).

They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.

I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)

But according to this rather clickbate article ...

In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!

It's an old joke updated for new technology .. that's part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

As a fan of both authors I'd just like to point out the quote is from Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I've never really thought about it and I don't have the vocabulary to describe it, but they have similar humour in the way they look at humans and social interaction.

Upon leaving the EU any laws that were in use were 'enshrined' into UK law. In order for the UK to remove EU laws we'd need to actively remove them through an act of parliament. (At least that's my vague understanding..) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eu-legislation-and-uk-law

I'm happy to keep the EU laws, it'll save time when we rejoin.🇪🇺🇬🇧

I think the guilty party could only be more obvious if he'd fallen out of a window...
