There was a shooting at a Trump rally. Details are still being released. The meme is referencing the successful assassination of Shinzo Abe a couple years ago.

I always thought the GameCube controller was ridiculously comfortable and ergonomic, so that's my choice. The C stick might not be for everyone though.

Any Dreamcast fans here? Those controllers had similar ergonomics in the hand, although the lack of a second analog stick was a pretty big drawback in hindsight.

It feels good to be seen.

Thanks for sharing! Great explanation of how the chord is built, too.

This used to be more common ~20 years ago when Steam first launched. Most modern applications seem to have abandoned this practice though.

$2000 should get you something pretty nice. Do you have anything specific in mind that you're planning to do with it? Important stuff to keep in mind up front, in no particular order: do you play games? How big should the screen be? How long do you want to use it on battery? Any operating system preferences?

This goes for any game, but especially Destiny 2 because of the way Bungie lets players interact with different menus during loading screens: I hate getting kicked out of menus when I finally land on a destination, especially if it’s a social area. It’s pretty obnoxious if you’re tweaking parts of your loadout and then have to dive back into the menus to get back where you were.

Can you elaborate on that? I can’t really come up with a good reason why I’d need to know who anyone is here.

I have a feeling the real answer is "why not?"

Memory is a funny thing, don't beat yourself up over it. Every time you remember something, the memory itself is altered in your mind. We know now that you didn't have a 7600X, but I think it can also be true that you remembered buying one.

I generally agree about notifications being a little better on Android, but I think I've used iOS for long enough that I've made it work for me regardless. On iOS, I've found that the best way to see when an app needs your attention is to be very intentional about which ones get notification badges, and make sure those apps are visible on your first home screen and/or dock.

Once that's set up, you probably won't need notification center as much, or you might only check it when you see a badge on an app you care about. I'd still love to see a couple more options (maybe utilizing the dynamic island?), but this gets the job done.

It really is pretty good, especially after 0.18. It’ll obviously be great when high quality apps are available, but the mobile experience is already good enough for being completely free.
