Yes, some games just let you select which controller is which, some of them you have to manually set it in the Steam Input settings before you launch the game.

The ONLY problem I have had with this, is the controller on the system itself defaults as controller 1, so SOME games it takes a little fiddling to use different controllers. But I have done this and it works great.

I’ve used a handful of different USB to HDMI docks, and I haven’t had any problems with any of them. I just use an anker dock that supports gigabit ethernet, 100W power passthrough, and HDMI, and it works just fine.

You can use just about any controllers using Bluetooth, I really like the wireless XBox controllers (only supported over Bluetooth) for this. But I’ve also used the Switch controllers and they work fine.

It’s really just a slightly expensive setup for what it is, but it’s also very portable, so…

It’s v1 from a relatively new company, trying something unprecedented. I’m not surprised it has some major flaws. The first Gen framework 13 did as well.

I own a Gen2 and a Gen3 framework 13 and they are both phenomenal. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a slim laptop, that wasn’t overly concerned about cost.

I’m sure the Gen3 FW16s will be great as well, but it’s going to be a bit before I would recommend them to anyone.

What I think would be great for framework to do next is to design a purpose built eGPU for the framework 13. I would really enjoy something that would turn the FW13 into a decent gaming PC, while still retaining the portability for travel.

I’m currently looking at setting up Reolink cameras on a homeassistant setup.

Not sure if it perfectly meets your requirements, but it should be ad free and closed system.

Call the fire department, they have detectors that they can use to look for gas leaks and other things that can set off a detector.

You can also call your gas provider. One of those two should be able to track it down, it could be a lot of things, but two different smoke detectors going off in the same location is a huge red flag.

Best case, you have something kicking up fine dust, worst case, you have a smouldering electric fire in your wall somewhere.

Don’t panic, but also do not ignore this.

How do you set this up to forward properly? Do you use different domains for different services? like plex.example.com?

I currently have nginx set up to forward based on port, which is fine for me, but it could be a little better.

Trade in value drops very rapidly for non-iphones after a year or two. You can often get 50% back on the purchase by trading in a functional phone.

If you buy a new phone every 2 years or every 4 years, it’s often about the same total out of pocket cost (with a lot of exceptions)

Should make that screen the first slide of the PowerPoint

Me too. I’ll go first, and if it works, he can do it as well.

At LEAST it’s low orbit so it’ll burn up (relatively) quickly.

It’s not a KVM though, which is why it’s only $50. It has no video capability.

Kinda looks like this KVM switch is missing the “V” part.

I’m excited that they continue to innovate and listen to customers. I own two Framework laptops, and I’m thrilled that I can easily upgrade to this version without having to replace the whole thing.

Even better that I can replace parts as they wear out, or as I feel. I love the monitor, so no need to replace it now. If it ever gets damaged though, I can grab the upgraded one without changing anything else. If the battery starts to suck, I can update to a higher Wh one.

Such a great product (so far).

Assuming you are talking about hearing protection: I know people that like them, but I wasn’t a big fan. I probably didn’t do it perfectly, but it’s so time consuming and kinda expensive, so I didn’t want to keep trying.

I just use the disposable squish 3m foam earplugs and they do great. Easy to put in, don’t fall out.

I just started pirating Amazon shows, fuck em if they bait and switch me.

Wonder if there’s a trade off with the faster charging, or if it’s just a side effect of the grid power setup.

It somewhat depends on the game, and the order that you pair things in.

I’ve run my steam deck, docked on the TV, with 2 Nintendo Pro controllers, 1 XBox controller, 1 Stadia controller, all running over bluetooth, and a fifth PS3 controller plugged in via USB. From what I understand the limit is 8 controllers, but I think the built in controller counts as one.

You can go into the settings and tell it which controller is which, but in the end, the game can override things and make it not work as expected. The only way to really know is to check on a game-by-game basis.

They basically already have one. The steam deck with the dock (though you have to provide your own controller.)

They’d certainly gain some performance improvements by building a dedicated steam machine, but it would also split the market for the steam deck, which the article already talked about as being a negative of the first iteration.

Dunno, I probably wouldn’t get a stationary steam machine over a mobile steam deck. Though being able to use Thunderbolt 4 for an eGPU on a steam deck would be a welcome enhancement, but that’s a whole different discussion.

The article implies that it’s a long term thing, but doesn’t actually state if it’s better or worse for older cars?

Do people that exclusively buy used cars have less exposure because there isn’t as much off gassing of the newly applied chemicals? Or are older cars more susceptible due to the breakdown over time?

Even if it was 2" from the lumber yard, it would shrink or expand quite a bit depending on the moisture content. Expecting natural products to be an exact size would be crazy, especially when talking about construction lumber.

Now this is a very extreme case, but it was probably milled to 1.5" soaking wet, and shrank a bunch after drying out on the rack. That’s also a big reason why they’re all warped.
